If Bischoff Hadn't Bought WWF Talent......

If Eric hadn't purchased/snatched:

Hart, Hogan, Savage, Nash, Hall, Lugar, Nasty boys, Legion of Doom, Sid, Warrior (briefly), Mr.Perfect (Curt Hennig), Rick Rude, X-pac, Dibiase, Virgil, Piper, Steiners, Maddusa (Alundra Blaze) and anyone I forgot....and used talent that was un-wwf or low-key wwf:

Goldberg, Sting, Flair, Foley, Benoit, Jericho, Malenko, Guerrero, Saturn, The Giant (Big Show), Triple H (Paul Lesveque), Mark Callaway (in WWF Undertaker), Austin, Pillman, Mysterio, Ed Guerrera (spelling?!), Booker T, DDP, Lance Storm, and (the guy who became The Hurricane)

- to the fullest extent possible, as much as he used the WWF talent, would you have still watched WCW as much as you did?

Perhaps if Eric cooled on the ex WWF talent having fresh runs in WCW, and had the belt exchange hands a little more often, Nitro would have been ten times as popular and would still be going on today.

It was guys like the Steiners and The Nasty boys that kept me into WCW.

Maybe its because I found the attitude era boring. Then again thats just me.

The wrestlers were offered a run in WCW! It was up to them to make the change or not! If they were loyal to their company, then they shouldnt have moved!
Thank god sting still hasnt worked for Vince =D
