o be cancelled, that was it. The product was worth nothing. However, Eric Bischoff was going to buy it. If he, or someone like Bill Goldberg had bought the product, it might even still be around today. But it was sold to someone who made sure it was never going to be back - WCW should have never closed. It was bad booking by guys like Vince Russo, and the merger between AOL and Time Warner killed it. Back in the early 90s, Ted Turner was running the show. He was able to always get WCW to stay as the #1 company. Even when they were in financial trouble, Turner had a soft spot in his heart for wrestling. He probably lost money on the product when he was financing it, but he didn't care. As long as guys like Sting were still in WCW, WCW was going to be around. However, guys that were underutilized like Ric Flair by people like Eric Bischoff caused the demise of WCW. It was such an unstable product in the late 90s. Bischoff commented that shows were being written while they were on air.

Things were so poorly handled. Then, when AOL and Time Warner made their merger, even Ted Turner could not save them. The WCW ratings were slowly dropping, and the overall interest in the product dropped. Ratings went from 5.0 to 2.5, and in the wrestling world that is a big change. After one of the executives at AOL Time Warner said WCW Nitro was going to be cancelled, that was it. The product was worth nothing. However, Eric Bischoff was going to buy it.

McMahon monopolized the wrestling industry, and the only possibility of another Monday Night War would come from TNA Wrestling going to Monday nights. One can only hope we'll see the Monday Night Wars again.
