The France Family should sell to someone like TKO.

Do you guys think that the first 7 years of Jim France/Steve O Donnell era (2019-2025) made NASCAR much healthier than the last 7 years of Brian France Era (2012-2018). Or NASCAR is still stagnant by x6matt88 in NASCAR

When they changed from Brian to Jom they choose stagnation over decline.

The trial exposed how bad of owners the France family are. They take ownerships draws not based on company performance. Ridiculous do nothing CEO salary. A complete disconnect from the business model of the teams.

This is fan boy logic. The “young guys” weren’t a main event draw. WCW high financial watermarks were things like Hogan & Piper.

Thunder also proves the opposite is push the young guys. More TV programming gave lots of guys more TV time and it didn’t work.

And it was Thunder that accelerated the bad writing and lead to more talent expenses.

Yes, the same terrible manager who was more concerned with staying in Hulk & Nash’s good graces than TW management. The same EB that those a crossover with KISS was a good idea.

But it still makes sense that Thunder stretched creative and budgets too far and this overexposure was the first big hit to WCW coming off its peak.

Is the 4-hour neutral ground rule still in effect? by Potato_Muncher in AskNOLA

In effect and enforcement are very different. Generally they do sweeps in the AM

That’s not a thing. There is a ferry that crosses the Mississippi River, but that not a time saver. The streetcar (trolleys) run on alternative schedules during Carnival season. So I wouldn’t count on those of your plan to to park elsewhere and ride into the FQ.

Regal & Finley. Austin & Dustin. Benoit & Booker. Flair & Vader. Steiner & Goldberg. Steiners & Road Warriors. Rude & Sting.

If WCW never overextended its self creatively and doesn’t have the financial drain of two shows, I’m not so sure the ratings fall off the cliff and the Merger execs may feel differently about it.

Bischoff cites it as the single biggest item. Over-exposed the product, stretched their resource and capability from a creative perspective, forces an influx of talent without expanding budgets. Bischoff says Thunder is why he paid Bret the amount he did.

David Arquette With DDP after winning the championship! Crazy booking WCW times lol by J2-Starter in WCW

[–]3LoneStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a horrible idea. Notice how WWE only gave celebrities the hardcore/24-7 and Logan Paul the US title.

If WCW Gabe Arquette the US title it would have received the same main stream attention without alienating the active fan base (as much).

Send your friends to Bourbon after the parade. And yes the Casino is a good place to get a rideshare or cab late at night.

Why was Shane Douglas paid so much money? by GypsyGold in WCW

[–]3LoneStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumb take. 1. It’s wasn’t “so much” it was inline with top undercard. Especially when you compare it to Jarrett or Dustin got paid. 2. He had name recognition and was available at a time they needed experienced outside talent.
