Quote: It wasn't enough that WWE had bought them out... now they had to enforce that all of the WCW talent was inferior. Guys like Sting, Goldberg, etc... are so lucky they weren't a part of that.

But they were inferior if you look at the roster they had. Excluding Booker and DDP, they had:

Kidman - not well known
Helms - not well known
Kanyon - midcarder
Storm - midcarder
Stasiak- shit
O'Haire & Palumbo & Jindrak - rookies
Bagwell - shit
Morrus - midcarder
Chavo - midcarder
Torrie & Stacy - women


So with DDP and Booker they had Kanyon, Storm, Morrus, and Chavo. Not a bad group of six but far from being able to carry a brand.


I barely watched any WCW at the time. I was a a pro-WWF dude at the time and I didn't know or care about half of the guys that they brought in. DDP and Booker were cool but I didn't see them as being anywhere close to being at the level of Austin/Taker/Rock or even Angle, and that was right from the get-go. They were more at the level of Kane.

If guys like Sting, Goldberg, Flair and Hogan had been a part of that, I'm pretty sure it would have played out a lot differently. That just wasn't possible though since they were sitting comfortably on those big contracts.

I think even if the big names from WCW had gotten involved, that WWF still should have came out victorious. Come on, are you telling me you would rather see Hogan, Goldberg, and Nash as your top talent over Angle, Jericho, and Austin?
