Simple question here...Were you a fan of WCW in 2000?
Me personally i havent seen much but from what i've seen around the place it looked alright. Some bad storylines but they had a deep roster.
Whats your opinion on it?

I was a fan. ive always been a fan of JCP/NWA/WCW.....The storylines werent horrible in WCW 2k the problem was the lack of sticking to a story line. Everything was changed on the fly. They had no planning or directing. You can have great ideas but if you dont stick to them, your fuucked!

As soon as the new Nitro stage came along it put me right off for some reason, although looking back on the stage now it really wasn't all that bad.
As for the product itself, I never thought it was too bad myself... I was just way more WWF inclined at the time.

I was off-and-on in 2000. Some months I'd watch RAW every Monday, and then I'd start getting back into WCW in 2000, and watch Nitro every Monday. I'd always watch Thunder every week though, as it wasn't on during WWF. I actually remember starting to get back into watching WCW around the time David Arquette won the WCW Title, and pretty much continued watching WCW until it went under.

WCW got good at the end of 2000 when some of the big names left. It left guys like Booker to be able to shine through. Too bad the damage had already been done.

To be honest, that is when I started to stop watching WCW, I used to watch now and then but I didn't like it as much as I used to.
Also I've always been more of a WWF/WWE fan.

WCW in the last days wasn't THAT bad. people often say how bad it was, sure it wasn't as good as 1996-1998, but I always enjoyed watching it.
and it was a hell of a lot better than WWE is now.

WCW got lucky with the NWO and ran with it wayyyy to long and after that they had pretty much nothing. WWE reigns supreme as always.

"Wcw sUckZ!!!1 WWe iZ da BeSt foRevA!!!11" with WCW/WWF, (and TNA/WWE now) why do so many people think you must LOVE one and HATE the other? it is possible to enjoy BOTH you know... both organizations were good. yes WWE won in the end, but that doesn't mean WCW was terrible and always was... WCW was half of the monday night wars and played a major part in revolutionizing the sport. i bet you never even watched WCW...

WCW was it's own thing to me, I never really sided with one or the other. Although 2000 wasn't the best time to watch WCW, I still did. I like professional wrestling in all it's forms whether it's WWE/F, ECW, TNA, or even Wrestling Society X lol.

I never said WCW sucked, I just don't feel it was on the level of WWF. WCW had some great matches, I loved watching the undercard matchs. I just hated their main event scene.

2000 whens I started watching alot of WWF and less and less WCW.
I remember afew weeks in 2000 (and 99) where Canada had wrestling everyday (Mon = RAW, Tues = Nitro, Wed = Thunder, Thurs = SD, Fri = ECW, Sat = Recap, Sun = Heat/PPV) so usually I'd miss WCW but always watched SD, RAW and ECW.
I think the last WCW show I watched was the show with Booker T winning the WCW title the first time, then after that I'd watch if I seen something in the spoilers I wanted to see or if I happen to have nothing to do.

Meh...I tried keeping up with it. I've always been more of a WWF guy. The only time I really liked WCW was in the early '90's. I was a huge fan of it's product during that time period and it's Clash Of The Champions PPV-type telecasts.
Post-NWO is when WCW really starting scrapping the barrel for storylines. I couldn't stand factions like the Filthy Animals or Mizfits In Action. Thinking a guy like General Rection holding the WCW US Title was never an easy feeling....

WCW got lucky with the NWO and ran with it wayyyy to long and after that they had pretty much nothing. WWE reigns supreme as always. That's a really over-simplified way of looking at it. You're discounting the job they did making Goldberg a star (which they did), Sting's popularity, the entire cruiserweight division and the occasionally-great U.S. title picture (think Raven, Benoit, etc.). Don't get me wrong, there were countless ways where WCW screwed themselves. But the NWO was not the only good thing about WCW, nor was it the only thing capable of bringing ratings. If more within WCW realized that at the time, maybe they wouldn't have run the NWO into the ground instead of cultivating the other good stuff they had at the time.

I really lost interest in WCW by 1999. I still followed it, but I was more into ECW and WWF at that point.

I actually had some hope for it in 2000. They had a make-over, starting bringing out different things that I hadn't seen, and etc.
However, by that time I was also really following the WWF. It was really gathering steam at that point.
