Where did that angle go? I remember that they sent Flair to a nut house and made Hacksaw a janitor, but what happened overall? Who were the powers that be and what happened to them?

| The 'Powers' were just Russo and Ferrara. The angle got dropped once they got fired. And by dropped, I mean the booking committee that replaced them wanted us all to just pretend it never happened. |
Lacey can do magic tricks. She's good; she's like that Curt Hennig! |

IIRC it was so bad, that we were all more than glad to do so. |
Wait, I was promised a bowl of gravy. Where is it? |

| For more reading on this topic, I urge you to get a copy of "Death Of WCW". It will make you laugh at how horrible these storylines truely were. |

| I've read it twice. I started questioning the accuracy of it when it started telling of basically how WCW was suffering from the EXACT SAME PROBLEMS from 1988-1997 as it was in 1998-2001. The only difference is that the roster got bigger, and the problems got more frequent. |
My thoughts exactly. |

I've lost count on how many times I've read it, but all wrestling companies make the same mistakes. You're probably not wrong at all, but the thing is if there's a small(er) roster making less mistakes it won't be noticed as much. I suppose those mistakes were exploited more and more as time went by and those who sed those exploitations to get into power backstage used it only for self-gain.
If that makes any sense. |
