some bust on that guy

This avatar was paid for by the Silent Majority.
Started out as a WCW kid in 1997 (Well, a 16 year old kid) for maybe half a year because that's what everyone was talking about. WCW had all the big names and they took it seriously like it was an actual sport. It really seemed like the major league compared to the WWF. I quickly made the permanent switch to WWF once I discovered Austin and DX. DX (the heel DX with Michaels - the only good version) was entertaining, unpredictable, had an awesome entrance, and it took over the whole show. It wasn't just one segment. It felt like DX and Austin was the show. Whenever I turned the channel to Nitro, I had this horrible feeling that I was missing something fantastic. I remember one time I was watching Nitro, then I switched back and the announcers were acting like DX murdered the Legion of Doom. I felt terrible for missing it.

The Montreal screwjob added to the excitement. Already I was confused about how much was real and fake. Clearly some people were really getting hurt. I could see them taking hard unpredicted chair shots to the face. I saw Michaels fall off a cage. I could see that his face got rammed so hard into the cage that he started bleeding and I could see that it was real blood. Who could have ever imagined that a guy would have a hidden razor and cut open his own face to put on a performance? Then with the Montreal screwjob, we have this bleeding of fiction and reality. Nothing half so interesting was happening in WCW. For all I knew at the time, that was typical of WWF and stuff like that happened every month. Perhaps wrestlers in real life hated DX so much they would refuse to lose. Maybe Shawn pissed off the Undertaker in real life that Undertaker decided to take it out on him by throwing him threw a cage.

Even though WCW still felt like the major league, WWF was just too crazy and unpredictable to ever risk switching the channel to Nitro again.
