Vice TV - The producers of Dark Side Of The Ring put together a new four part wrestling documentary called "Who Killed WCW ?" First episode is on Crave in Canada. I'll probably check it out next week. I know Bischoff has his take on the show on you tube. |

Everything goes to Crave, it seems like the dominate streaming platform in Canada. I'll either have to get it, or find another way to watch.

Yeah I never had access to HBO shows before so now I'm like a kid in a candy store. Binged Sopranos, Newsroom, now doing Boardwalk Empire. The Wire, House of Dragon, Vinyl, and Deadwood all on the radar. |

I'm sure you can guess what company I'm talking about. |

I finished watching the series tonight. I haven't watched any of the rebuttal videos out there, some saying there are lies etc. First off I found the program to be very entertaining even if it was bitter-sweet. They had really good people in the interviews, people who were in the middle of it.
Regardless of who is at "fault" the reason it was even able to happen in the first place was that they did not have control of their own affairs. It wasn't really a company anymore, it was just a TV show. And TV shows come and go, and when the ratings drop you cancel it and come up with something else. Now AOL would have dropped them anyway, but if they were doing better in the ratings they may have been more patient on the sale to someone who could move them to another network. WWF was never just a TV show, it was the fortune of one man who couldn't and wouldn't just say, screw it, fold it up, let's try something different. When we are young and we are in the middle of things it feels like those things have been around forever and will always be. It never occurred to me that Soviet Union would dissolve. I never thought of WCW as just WCW, I thought of it as a rebrand of NWA which had been around forever. When you think about it, at the height of the wars, it had only been around for 10 years, and Vince's version of WWF hadn't been around too long before. WCW only lasted 13 or 14 years. When I was in my twenties it seemed like forever, but now it seems like such a short period of time.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
I don't watch the rebuttal videos, because if you watch two of them, then you're going to still no doubt be split 50/50 over truth versus fiction. No matter what happened to WCW it was entertaining when it was around, but as you said it yourself. TV shows come and go, nothing lasts forever.
