in my opinion the reasons why pro wrestling took a fall in the early part of this century.
darrell mays
august 28, 2007
pro wrestling was smoking hot in the late 90's from things like the nwo to stone cold steve austin. however in late 2000 to early 2001 wrestling took a dive. many reasons are blamed but here is the reasons that i think greatly affected it.
1. the death of owen hart in may of 1999.
owen was killed at a live pay-per-view in kansas city, mo in front of about 15,000 fans. of course the fans in attendance were not told he died and many thought the fall was part of the show. the ppv audience was told by jim ross about 30 minutes later of owen's passing. many have criticised wwe for continuing the show after the accident but you tell 15,00 people to go home with no explanation. it's not that easy. the media then decided to all of a sudden jump on the wrestling bandwagon with zero knowledge and "report" what they thought of the accident. it only fueled the fire that wrestling was bad and evil.
2. stone cold takes time off for neck surgery.
it's never a good thing when the hottest guy in the world of pro wrestling in the last 20 years has to take time off and be away from the spotlight to take care of an injury. wrestling fans in general have a short attention span and alot only watch the sport for one or two guys. many fans that were solely stone cold fans stopped watching wrestling while austin was away. then when he returned they had no clue as they hadn't watched wrestling in almost a year.
3. eric bischoff being taken off wcw television and replaced with vince russo.
when wcw brass decided that eric bischoff needed a vacation and then decided to bring in vince russo to pretty much run wcw, it was a disaster in the making. russo may have been a part of making wwe raw main stream again but the same tactics wouldn't work in wcw. russo tried and in time failed but in the process drove many fans away from watching wrestling forever.
4. wcw trying to recreate the nwo magic over and over again.
wcw ran out of ideas and kept trying to make the nwo hot again. sadly by this time the nwo was a shell of it's former self and the magic just wasn't there. adding new members or changing the colors to black and silver didn't work. many fans were insulted and realized that wcw had no idea how to compete with wwe anymore.
5. kevin nash defeating goldberg and ending his undefeated streak.
when kevin nash decided to take advantage of his booking powers and put himself in the main event of starrcade 98 and face goldberg for the wcw championship, many knew what was gonna happen. kevin nash defeated goldberg and took the title. ending the hottest streak of the hottest star wcw had at that time. it was a foolish and selfish move by kevin nash. it ended the best storyline they had.
6. wwe buying wcw and ecw.
in the early spring of 2001 when wwe bought wcw and then later ecw. it marked the end of the monday night wars. some fans were happy that wwe had finally defeated wcw but with no direct competition for wwe, things got stale. wwe had no pressure to improve their product and lost fans interest. the exciting and interesting but eventually poorly played out "invasion" angle of wcw/ecw invading the wwf was entertaining. but with hardly any top wcw stars except for booker t and ddp and only rvd and tommy dreamer from ecw to be involved in the invasion, many fans felt cheated and that it could of been a lot better. truth be known that it would of been better if so many of the top wcw stars hadn't decided to sit out and collect the big money from their wcw contracts and actually gave a damn about the fans then the storyline would of been the biggest in pro wrestling history!
well there you have it, some of the reasons that pro wrestling fell from grace in the early 2000's. if you have any other reasons i forgot or disagree with me, then feedback is always welcome. you can email me at ppdingles@hotmail.com
