The Death of WCW.
Someone should have told these two fools that it was a bad idea.
>>
>>12944941
They were all too busy being self marks and working Turner out of millions to consider that.
>>
What else would 2 heels in the same faction do?
>>
>>12944941
I agree with Heenan that they made a huge mistake by killing Goldberg's undefeated streak too early.

That bait is so poor that he would sign the mark contract for free

The match shouldnt have happened at all numb nuts
>>
>>12945125
They had to get the belt off Nash because Goldberg had his rematch clause retard
>>
>>12944963
This. I still have no idea why Nash of all people best Goldberg, especially that early. The person who came close to beating him & giving him at 5 star match was DDP. If it was him or Sting, I could buy it. But not Nash at the time.
>>
>>12945120
It reenforced that WCW was not going to evolve and push new talent and that it existed solely as Hogan and Nash's playground

Added to it, Nash turned the entire locker room against him since he got the booker gig promising he'd stop Hogan's egomania bit enable it like this. Also, the snide shitting on Mick Foley by the commentary on this episode plus the burial of goldberg afterwords
>>
>>12944963
Dawg, we’re you watching wrestling back then? I was. Everyone was sick to death of watching Goldberg squash Raven’s flock and Jerry Flynn. It went on for too long if anything.
>>
>>12945488
Tell me what Goldberg losing to Kevin Nash did for anyone
>>
>>12945488
Goldberg should of lost to someone else is the point. Nash wasn’t credible around that time, especially as a guy to beat Goldberg. The only guy who gave Goldberg a run for his money was DDP. Sting could of done it no issue.
>>
>>12945152

Doesnt matter its shitty writing
>>
>>12945499
Nothing. The problem with creating a retarded situation like that is it can’t go on forever. After you’ve fed him every shitter 5 times to inflate the number, some guys 10 times, to make him look credible you have to start giving him top guys. Where the fuck does it stop? It succeeded in the sense it created a star whole cloth out of thin air, which is a boon, but it has to stop before it makes your whole roster look pathetic, especially when
Goldberg was a worse worker than 90 percent of the roster and worse on the mic than half of it. The only person who would have genuinely benefited from ending the streak was Chris Jericho. They could have used it as a lure to get him to resign the mark contract and it would have rocketed him to the top of the card in a way that made sense. He was already over as fuck with the crowds and the smarks on the Internet, not to mention he had that gimmick where he would challenge Goldberg and claim he won when Goldberg didn’t show. It’s the only person on the roster that breaking the streak would have actually been a thing that helped. Maybe Scott Steiner, but his new persona wasn’t finished forming yet by the end of 98

The nwo story line shouldve finished in mid 98/Halloween havoc time. With a big blow off match with goldberg standing tall.

NWO was so fucking stale. Goldberg was the only reason i and many people i knew bothered tuning in to wcw In 98
>>
Hogan wanted the belt back
Hogan had creative control
Nash had his hands tied
>>
>>12945643
Why they did so regardless? Ego trip?
>>
>>12946754
You know that "creative control" usually just means you get to veto decisions make for your character, right. He can't just say "I want the belt now" and that's that
>>
>>12944941
WCW didn't die because of some horrific error, that's Meltzer driven smark revisionist bullshit. The truth is that the average joe can't be bothered watching more than about 2 hours of wrestling in any given week. WWF was more entertaining so they converted more lazy WCW fans to change the channel and watch Austin and Rock etc. Shit it wouldn't matter if Impact or AEW or LU or any of those were the new hot thing, people just want their 2 hours a week and then thank you fuck you good bye

Jericho's idea behind that gimmick was that he'd eventually face Goldberg and get squashed just like everyone else. WCW mangagement gave him shit for it because how dare a midcard geek have ideas above his station.

>>12944941
WWE revisionism. Next you're going to tell me that the only star WCW made was goldberg and that Vince was this innocent guy getting bullied out of his livelihood by big bad WCW
>>
>>12947802
The rare heel vs heel match is a based treasure. Hogan & Big Daddy Bitch aren't nearly kino enough
>>
>>12947817
LMAO at this notion that Goldberg refusing to work with cruiserweight comedy act Chris Jericho in late 1998 was somehow a bad career decision. Goldberg was the pro wrestling's equivalent - at the time - of Mike Tyson. When Goldberg wrestled he made people question if what they were watching was real - he had that mystique - hence why he got over so huge. Keep in mind the business was a lot different back then, SIZE still mattered a hell of a lot (hence why Jericho wore lifts in his boots when he first met Vince McMahon). Goldberg having a programme with a pissant like Jericho potentially could have hurt his aura as the real deal with the masses who were tuning in.

Goldberg should have only been participating in serious MONEY DRAWING angles versus believable super heavyweight challengers (at the time he was rightly feuding with the likes of Bam Bam Bigelow, Kevin Nash & The Giant). Goldberg was right to kibosh lowering himself to feud with Jericho as it would have resulted in nothing but entertaining filler segments on Nitro & squash match on PPV. Of course Jericho wanted it to happen because it would have elevated him however it wasn't what was best for business - Goldberg vs. Jericho wasn't money in late 1998.
>>
>>12945643
WCW was full of dumbfucks, Jeremy. Were you really surprised that they thought that was a good idea.
>>
>>12947844
You smell like a Wolfcuc

>Goldberg having a programme with a pissant like Jericho potentially could have hurt his aura

Yeah it would've really hurt le aura of a guy who had a dozen matches with Jerry Flynn

On average still in the 4's which which WCW had been doing since August 1997. Same goes for April. And not sure why you would correlate something that happened in January to numbers in March.
>>
>>12945499
It made Nash look better.
Which in turn led to Hogan looking better.
That's all that matters, brother.
