kevin nash is charming, unquestionably loyal to people who treat him well (which cuts both ways) and will never, ever admit that he has made a mistake

You’re full of poo poo. Nash has, on several occasions, said he made a mistake where he could have gotten more money for very little work and regrets it.

wrt booking then, more like oldpendant

The frustrating thing is that right up to the end, WCW had some great talent. The last month of WCW shows had Lance Storm, Rey Jr, Billy Kidman, Shane Helms, Chavo, AJ Styles, Dustin Rhodes, Kanyon, DDP, and Kaz Hayashi. Granted, they had a lot of crap too, but there was potential.

thank god the world has learned and this will never happen again

flair broke his back early in his career so he bumped on his side rather than taking flat back bumps which everyone in The Business sees as super-safe but seem to gently caress you up in the long term. i am totally unqualified to speculate on this but i present as supporting evidence 7,000 year old luchadores who took rolly-polly bumps and can still "go" in some kind of sense

Without a TV slot, how much was WCW really worth? Like how many people sub to the network for archive stuff as opposed to the PPVS? Is it even half a million dollars worth?
