The It Doesn’t Matter Podcast is back and we’re diving headfirst into one of the wildest disasters in wrestling history — WCW New Blood Rising 2000. Strap in as Notorious Dom is joined by Strap Facts, BDC, Papi Platano, and Ringside to break down the chaos, confusion, and creative collapse that defined late-stage WCW. From worked shoots to unannounced title changes and that Judy Bagwell forklift match — we cover it all.

Was there any saving WCW in 2000? Or was this show proof it was already dead in the water? Tune in as we laugh, rant, and relive the madness.

Like, comment, and tell us what YOU think. Was this WCW’s rock bottom?
