Dave, I don't get WCW. They have 50 major names, and every time I turn on, the guys who are wrestling are nobodies. The stars have skits, but when is the last time Hulk has been in a ring on tv? I'll tell you one guy who has come down in the world, and that is Brett Hart. From Main Event to prelims.
It has always been true that WWF is smarter at booking. I don't know why. If you are a smart, WCW just can't surprise you with their plot twists, but WWF always seems to have something new. Much of it I don't care for, such as Jim Ross's Bell's Palsy turning him heel. But, WWF is the only one where I've considered buying the PPV, as I want to see Butterbean against Bart Gunn. <g> O.K., I know it will be a work and I'm a mark, but I WANT to see it. You can't let the guy who knocked out everyone in the WWF get clobbered by the boxer. And, the boxer didn't sign up to lose. So it has to be a screwjob finish, with Dr. Death jumping Bart, or something similar.
The story on Ric Flair's kid is also horrible. I think they should have pulled a Jerry Lawler and let the kid work his way up with a ring name. And all the secret videos that are shown on national t.v., but are still not known to the wrestlers, stretches the Kayfabe a bit far, IMHO.
