Wow, this is a mind numbing thread! Some of you don't seem to understand that pro wrestling is a business not a fantasy booking haven.

Wow, this is a mind numbing thread! Some of you don't seem to understand that pro wrestling is a business not a fantasy booking haven. OK, let's talk business. What was the logic, as it pertains to business, for putting the WCW title on David Arquette? That's an easy answer...to boost the box office for Ready to Rumble. And what happened? The movie, which had an estimated budget of $24 million, made a domestic gross of just over half that. Not to mention that the fans and wrestlers alike, Arquette included, hated the angle. The only people to benefit financially were the families of Owen Hart, Brian Hildebrand, and Brian Pillman, because Arquette donated his WCW paychecks to them (which was most definitely not part of WCW's business plan for the whole concept).

WWE: Invasion angle, all the Eddie Guerrero related storylines WCW: All the celebrity tie-in matches, Russo/Ferraro (or Ferrara, I forgot) ECW: Going to TNN Indies: Age of the Fall The Invasion was so terrible I completely stopped watching for at least five years - no kidding. Yea that's when I took a long break, too. It had one markout moment when all the ECW guys united, but then Steph took over and no one cared.

To those of you defending Vince strapping himself, give it up.
He is a non-wrestler as much as Arquette is. Just because he's been in the business a long time and knows it, doesn't mean he should win the world title. If that's the case, roll Bobby Heenan's ass out of his hospital bed and strap him while we're at it!
Fact is that Vince won his title on a fluke after getting no offense and busted open. Arquette won his title on a fluke in a tag match where the one to score the pin wins the title. Arquette pinned Bischoff, another non-wrestler. Nowhere near as insulting as having Vince pin HHH, even with outside interference.
There is no difference between the 2. Vince held the title for 4 days. From Smackdown to RAW I believe. Then he surrendered it. It didn't spike ratings or lead people to buy a PPV. It was an ego trip by Vince. WCW was desperately trying to recapture the casual fan again in 99 and they tried to get mainstream attention, which they actually did with the Arquette angle. Forget Ready To Rumble. Arquette was banging one of the most famous television stars of the time, Courtney Cox, who even appeared on Nitro during the angle. So it served it's purpose. Unfortunately, just like most things in WCW at the time, they didn't have a plan to follow it up.

I really think that unmasking Kane was a big mistake. At first they tried to show him off as this huge monster, but then as time passed, he turned into a joke. In my opinion, the mask MADE Kane, and without it, he's just another big guy.
Also, I believe that WWE should have used the ECW/WCW talent better than they did.

Well, like i said before, vince still actually wrestled for the title. and once again, No Mcmahon matches = No Austin Vs McManon= MAJOR loss for WWE in the long run.

#1. May 23, 1999. #2. Not having Kane as a singles champion for 6 years. #3. Mark Henry is still employed. #4. Intercontinental Title. It's just a joke now. #5. David Arquette. #6. Batista as a Main Eventer. Should have given it to someone deserving i.e. Matt Hardy. #7. Brock Lesnar #2 (Lashley) #8. Nail in the coffin of ECW by having Mr. McMahon as ECW Champion.

heres some of mine,the deaths go without saying though
the invasion angle was a waste,it should have been a batman vs superman style ultimate battle
vince asking bret hart to join wcw,and all that followed.if he didnt many dream matches we would have wished for including angle vs bret,and a fitting send off like flair got
vince trying to make goldberg 'human' in his wwe run,yet when he destroyed people like he did to rodney mack at msg and the awesome performance at summerslam 2003 the crowd went nuts.
the whole eddie gurrero death storyline was sick and pathetic,i will never forgive wwe for that vile storyline
the british bulldog leaving/getting fired in 1992 after his summerslam success,i feel that if he sorted himself out then that he may have had a wwe title run somwhere down the line,but he went to wcw,bombed and came back in 94
theres loads more but my mind is blank

One of the worst wrestling decisions ever was keeping the Hogan vs Flair match off of WWF PPV in 91 or 92.
The ultimate fantasy dream match became possible and Vince blew it! He even had both of their fed's titles under his roof and could've had them standing across from each other on PPV with the WWF and NWA titles in one ring and he blew it.
Utterly disgusting!

And btw, I have no idea what you mean still, because before he got suspended, Jeff Hardy was getting the biggest push of his career.
