The reason WCW's 3-Hour Nitro worked wheras WWE's 3-Hour Raw hasn't is an example of possibly WWE's biggest problem with creating stars. See, WCW had 5 titles, meaning they had 5 seperate divisions. So, Nitro would open showcasing the Cruiserweight Division to pop the crowd, then the TV Division (very over Cruiserweights, lower card joke characters & new guys getting their first push) would get air time, next the Tag Team Division (which was stacked) got a go, then the U.S. Division (middle card talent & guys auditioning for a main event push), & finally the World Heavyweight Division. These divisions kept the titles important as they helped you track a star's progression up the card, making it easier to get behind a wrestler you liked. In devaluing their titles, WWE has made the star-creating process harder. In WCW, I knew the U.S. Title meant something because it was on a match or 2 before the main event. How am I supposed to care about the current Intercontinental Champion when he's on the 2nd match? He's not appearing to climb the card if it appears that 6 other matches are more important.

This is a great point. For whatever WCW may have done wrong, they had a great format, and a defined, easily identifiable hierarchy within the show. You could potentially watch guys 'climb' up the card, which actually lent the whole thing a certain facsimile of a 'story' even if there was no story (because it was a story of progression). U.S. Championship guys were considered -- even within the show, by the announcers and such -- to be just on the outside of main event status, and jockeying to get over the last hump. They were generally pushed as being a believable threat to the Heavyweight champ (though maybe needing a bit of luck). The Intercontinental title, OTOH, appears to just be the 'you're pretty good, but you're not our top merch seller, and we don't have anything to do with you' belt.

Giant video screens near the entryway (also Jim Herd) Jim Herd was pretty much to pro wrestling what Bill Veeck was to baseball: many of his ideas were disasters, but some were successful. Also, one of his bad ideas not only later got used by Eric Bischoff, but also at least 3 occasions in WWE: having somebody trapped in a shark cage

Here´s WWF´s critical mistake. They realized WCW had few fans at the end but still had millions of potential or former fans. When Vince bought it, he thought they would watch his product, but instead, all those people just started watching something other than wrestling, especially after the invasion angle utterly failed. That is why WCW dying was the worst thing to happen. Not only did it end competition which drives innovation, but the potential pool of razzlin fans greatly diminished.

WWE needs to go back to 4 ppvs a year. Stick to the big 4.

Funny how all these people that trashed WCW all these years, are now giving them the credit they deserve
