Tim and Rich are back, this time getting into a favorite topic of every longtime wrestling fan, the fall of WCW. We've heard the stories a million times. Tim and Rich approach it from what the WCW product looked like at the time of death, WCW Greed, March 18, 2001 from a 50% capacity Jacksonville Coliseum. It's just a mere 8 days before the final Monday Nitro where Vince McMahon shocks the world with his bargain basement purchase of WCW. There's big time absences, like Hulk Hogan, Sting, Hall and Nash. Scott Steiner, the world champion, is the standard bearer with his brother Rick! It's unrecognizable and plagued with bad attitudes, bad booking, and a low-budget appearance. Is it even still WCW? Do we see any resemblance to the legacy of the NWA, Jim Crockett Promotions, Mid-Atlantic Wrestling? I guess at least Tony Schiavone is still hanging in there. Plus, hear what Tim and Rich think so far of the new Vice miniseries, "Who Killed WCW?" (How can you not love Bret Hart???)
