Sure, it was all the wrong things to do. But, as far as the wrestling wars go, it was a novel point in history that not even Eric's days of Turkey on a Pole matches were similar to. TNA and the familiar faces don't have that excuse. Bischoff has been there for the demise of the territory system and of one of the biggest companies in wrestling's history. To go forward with angles and ideas that are so similar if not identical to those things he has seen fail so remarkably in the past lends more to my belief that it, almost, seems as if they are torpedoing TNA on purpose. Sure, at the time, we may have joked that they were doing such a bad job of running WCW in order to bury it. But, did we ever really believe that and--more importantly--did Bischoff, Russo, and company? I don't think so. Now, it is a different story. They know most of what they are doing is copying the failures of the past. Yet, they continue to do it. WCW died because "the power that be" were arrogant as to their own vulnerabilities and ignorant of what fans were demanding. The power that be at TNA know better (from experience!!!). Yet, they continue to promote their own hubris and ignorance. And, by way of those things, they continue to promote their death urge.


So where in this long Paragraph you've written prove that rehashing the same old angle's from 1997 in 2000 didn't kill WCW?
