Nitro in '97 was the best wrestling EVER in my opinion. The nWo Vs. Sting storyline was absolutely on fire. I don't know a single person in real life that wasn't watching. It was crazy. I have never seen wrestling so mainstream and popular. poo poo owned.

This.

I was 15 at the time and me and all the guys I went to school with would watch/talk about Nitro every week. The consensus was that WWF was for kids and WCW was more grown-up.

The only thing the WWF had during that time period that could pull me away from WCW was masked Kane.

And I didn't stop watching because I felt WCW was going south or anything. Between getting a car and my Junior/Senior years of high school I just started losing interest in wrestling all-together.

I got back into wrestling in college in the early 2000's and by that time the Attitude Era was in full-swing and WCW just couldn't compete.

I'm not as knowledgeable about wrestling as most around here but IMO WCW was just a case of too many cooks in the kitchen. At the end of the day in WWE, for better or worse, the buck stops with Vince.
