FEEDBACK: WCW Monday Nitro (April 10, 2000)

Brandon from Oshawa

Finally a WCW review and a great one at that. This show was fantastic. WCW gets so much hate, but I will always say that even at its worst, it was much more entertaining than WWE has been over the past several years. Sure, the in-ring product is better right now, but the overall show is just boring and can be fast forwarded right through. WCW felt very much like AEW does right now, fast paced and you never know what will happen. It doesnt give you the chance to fast forward.

The New Blood vs Millionaires Club angle felt fresh and gave a lot of guys that I enjoyed, the chance to have a bigger spotlight. Guys like Kidman, Steiner, Vampiro, Douglas, Booker and others all stepped up. They all didnt end up on the same level unfortunately, but it was fun to watch while it lasted. The beginning of the show with the whole roster in the ring and the complete reboot was a great idea and it is something I wouldnt mind seeing the WWE do right now, because it just feels so stale.

The comment from Steiner about all of WWE’s champions being former WCW guys(except 1) made me wonder, what do you think things would have been like if twitter, facebook, reddit or any social media was around back at that time? Would it be as bad or worse than the WWE vs AEW fanbases are right now?
