One of the best parts of the documentary was by Gene Okerlund saying WCW had become such a pile of crap he was ready to leave and do other things while video is showing Sid power bombing La Parka into a giant thing of popcorn.

I hated Hogan period except for that one month after he turned heel but once he won back the belt, it was all over because as usual, every damn thing would be focused on him. Yeah, I know about the control that certain guys had in their contracts and thats why Bischoff deserves blame. After all, he's the one that gave them that control in the first place and common sense tells you that its just a matter of time before those guys become problems. I dont think that Bischoff was that smart at all. WCW back in 1992 and especially 1993 was damn good but once he brought in Hogan, everything went down the drain. I mean seriously, how many times does Flair have to job to Hogan who sucks? And what about Vader? No way in hell is Hogan going to beat him but what happens? Vader looks like a mid-carder and eventually is let go.

I personally think that if Bischoff never ever signed Hogan, WCW would still exist toda because the problems that they had wouldnt exist. Bischoff signed Hall and Nash but it was because of Hogan and the NWO idea. Subtract Hogan and while Bischoff may still have signed Hall and Nash, I can guarantee that the control they had and guaranteed contracts wouldnt have happened.

Just like Waltman said when he returned to RAW after WM XIV, Bischoff was so far up Hogan's *** that he couldnt even see daylight. The sad part is thats actually true. Hogan held down all the actual talent and Bischoff let him which is why they are the main two responsible for the death of WCW. Granted, others played a role but it al started with Hogan and Bischoff and if you subtract both of them or at least Hogan, things might have turned out differently.

You definitely have to wonder what would have happened with WCW if Bischoff never signed Hogan back in 1994.

I think Vader was let go because of the big back stage fight he had with Paul Orndoff, right before the big pay-per-view (Vader was suppose to be part of Team Hogan against the dungeon, and everybody else, LOL!). But it would of been nice to see him in the mix at the time especially going against the Giant.

One of my favorite parts was when the guy was bashing Jeff Jarrett.

It's been out that long? I thought it just came out this tuesday. Either way I looked all over and couldn't find it but that just makes it worse when it's been out for 2 weeks.

Found it through other means and watched the doc. I liked it. I never knew WCW and WWF were the same thing at one point. I'm suprised they didn't mention the Makind/Rock results backfire but I guess that's something on Monday Night Wars? I don't remember who Teddy went off on but thought that was funny. Think it was Watts.

Though it was in poking fun at TNA at first after watching this it's scary how many of the same things can apply to them right now.
