The thing that makes me most upset with the WCW 2000 comments is the revisionist history that it was worse than 1999 WCW
I know Nash was an absolutely awful booker, but come on. He didn't have Viagra on a Pole and an actor as champ

I think my issue was after Nash but I don't remember the timeline well. I'm specifically thinking like may-end of year or so

It was so fucking boring and everything was illogical, Russo gave me memorable moments at least

May on was Nash, after Bisch walked. It was his idea to, for example, hold ZERO wrestling on the unopposed first hour of Nitro thinking that fans wanted to see him and his boys dicking about for that time. Then October 99-Jan 2000 was Russo

And then Bret without his heart in it anymore (Don't blame him, bad creative + screwjob + Owen's death) being champ too late with him winning it in a "meh" way then getting concussed

yeah it got better for those 3 months tbh then everything fell apart bc of the injuries I won't even say removing Russo hurt anything, all their plans fell apart no matter who was booking

Jan-Mar 2000 was the Sullivan-led committee (awful booking, don't forget), Apr-Jul 2000 was Bisch/Russo and Aug 2000 on was Russo alone

yeah I agree with this. Jan-march was terrible. And after I think there were just fleeting moments. Def got worse once bischoff left too.
