I watch lucha Underground. R.o.H, NJPW, Lucha Libre Mexicana, WWE, NXT, PCW, TNA. Yes there are gimmicks really the only ones truly left as a gimmick is Decay.. The undertaker is still around but him and Golddust are really the last of it for wwe and you can't really rebrand them this late in their careers. I'm a huge taker fan, but once he's gone there's just people with personalities w/Strengths, weaknesses, Insecurities and those characters evolve over time...

I'm not a HHH mark but look at where he started and where he is now (regardless of HBK and Stephanie)

What killed WCW will always be subjective but this is what I credit it too.

1. Creative Control for Hulk Hogan's Contract
2. N.W.O over growing and staying around way to long
3. Not pushing younger talent (could be my #1 as well)
I.E: Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Paul London, etc etc etc
4. Being to focused on what the wwe is doing
5. Vince Russo (not that anyone couldve helped wcw at this time more of a final nail in the coffin) betting on David Arquette and Jeff Jarrett to sale tickets.
