We all know that there was more than one thing that killed WCW. The experts & pundits like to act like they’re dropping some type of big revelation when they say that, but everybody knows it. What we’re here to do today is get some clicks off of the recent WCW discussion by writing some silly nonsense talk about some of the less-hearalded reasons for WCW’s dismissal from the wrestling scene.
