Booker T was one of the dumbest things ever. Not only did he get the belt only because of the racism lawsuit, but every time he had the belt, the ratings instantly took a nose dive. He never was a draw (even worse in the WWE later, still in the Bottom 10 worst drawing WWE Champions ever)

I also disagree with everyone constantly burying Vince Russo. People should realize that when Russo came to WCW in October 99 their ratings were 2.5 and after three months in January 2000 their ratings were 3.5. He came with the great idea of WCW tournament with the best final match between Bret Hart vs Chris Benoit. In other words he was the only one in WCW FINALLY using Bret Hart properly and Hogan's politics were finally checked out. Between January 2000 and April Russo was out and those 4 months were pretty bad for WCW. When he came back in April he was doing anything possible to get some attention in ratings which included some stupid decisions but Vince Russo is definitely misunderstood.

@@JohnHartson20 Because why should WCW draw good ratings, when the entire Business is dead? Besides, if it is WCW 2000 teleported straight into today, it would be cancelled in a matter of weeks after a myriad of shitstorms thanks to Russo's highly racist, sexist and offensive programming - because what you can watch today isn't dictated by your own taste anymore, but rather a few morons on Twitter and Facebook and "modern audiences" will go apeshit they see GI Bro, see the whole miscarriage angle with Keibler, the way the Mexicans are treated (the interview voice overs specifically) and pretty much everyhting else that moron booked. It's as simple as that. But even if, for some magical reason, this doesn't happen, people wouldn't watch. As the ratings from WWE and AEW show, people don't watch crap anymore because "Nothing else on TV, nothing else to do", they actually turn out and the same will happen to that worthless crap that was WCW 2000, because it's simply on the same level as Absolutely Embarrassing Wrestling.
