backstage politics NUMBER_TOKEN's new blood slash millionaires club feud was a complete mess but it was russo's misguided attempt to push youngsters by force of will alone that backfired billy kidman feuded with hulk hogan for goodness sake there's only one way that was going to go kim didn't stand a chance the end result was the younger guys on the roster just feeling like they had no worth in wcw so started to look at other options which is exactly what many of them did and that didn't help world championship wrestling at all number four NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN was such a bad year for wcw you could actually see how the product had been for ages just by tuning into any show the company put on here it was clear the end was near and how the promotion kept soldering on was anyone's guess then it changed a bit almost as if hitting rock bottom and when everyone involved realized they had to do something wcw ran three kind of decent pay-per-views that featured an angle with ric flair and a gang of heels attempting to rid the company of their many so-called heroes dubbed the magnificent seven it allowed those writing wcw to have a focus and even saw goldberg and nash agree to do a retirement storyline it was too late by this point as the damage had been done but still the entire year wasn't a bust just everything before that and then some number three the women while wwe are keen to talk about sunny and saber as a beacon to how women helped revolutionize the industry in the late NUMBER_TOKENs it was actually wcw in NUMBER_TOKEN with the nitro girls who got in there first as innovative then as it is dated now the dance troupe were employed effectively as cheerleaders to keep audience hype drawing commercials and lend glitz to the broadcast while sunny shot as a manager in NUMBER_TOKEN and sable drew main event level reactions between NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN the very notion of employing women to perform beyond the realms of the traditional valet wrestler role was unheard of before eric bischoff and kimberly page collaborated in creating the group competition winner stacey keebler joined the gang in NUMBER_TOKEN and went on to have one of the most successful careers of all active females at the time and rebecca kersey and sharmel sullivan would go on to marry shawn michaels and booker t respectively so think of all of this number two david arquette david arquette was a stupid decision by wcw and i think today everyone realizes that however to say putting the title on him utterly destroyed the legacy of that title that's just not true it already been pummeled by that point etched through so many twist turns and tournaments it was thrown around like garbage and a long lost the power it once had it's not like arquette wanted this to happen either he spoke up and said it was a bad idea but those in control thought the mainstream attention it was ghana was worth it it wasn't it was a gamble that could have worked as well given the obsession with celebrity in the late NUMBER_TOKENs from dennis rodman to mike tyson everyone wanted a piece of the action this was just the next extension it was dumb of course
