If you see anybody compare anything to WCW 2000, understand their credibility is thrown into a dumpster. It's a buzz word in the IWC that quite literally is not even comparable. Even WWE 2018 peak corny shit, was leagues above that

Problem even the funny Russo stuff was stupid funny, and belittling to the audience and the talent. Like you get a laugh out of it but you feel like shit afterwards for laughing.

But WCW by 2000 was already planned to be dead. AOL/Time Warner didn't want Rasslin and didn't matter if it was Russo, Eric Bischoff, or Jesuc Christ they were getting rid of it. They just made it easier to offload it by making the product shit.

yeah, if WCW was making money it might have been easier for it to get a new home
It wasn't money. The company that owned it didn't want to own it

but Eric and Fusient did, and if I recall correctly it was mainly the lack of TV deal that made that fall through
