Supposedly Jamie Kellner just passed away a few days ago aka The guy that canceled WCW on Turner.

Siegel is very typical of upper management in any Fortune 500 company. It's the classic Peter Principle - if you perform well in your job, you will likely be promoted to the next level of your organization's hierarchy. As you continue to rise up the ladder until you reach the point where you can no longer perform well. He was assigned to job that he knew nothing about but he was so high up in the Turner org that it was beneath him to learn WHY pro-wrestling was VERY profitable under Bischoff. He had a hands off approach and let it self destruct and then move onto the next division or go to another company based on his seniority.

"This is expensive to produce, and no one is watching."

When I hit that powerbomb, I’m over as fuck

I got to say Kev, He made the best point when he showed the tablet and said who killed WCW. Without question. The mark arguments about booking was irrelevant. The company did not want wrestling. These corporate shills killed it. Even if things started to turn around it still would have been sold. Sooner or later. Everything was irrelevant because the last shills in charge wanted it gone not a single clue about the business.

Born in 1981, grew up watching both NWA/WCW and WWF. Never really saw one as inferior to the other, I just generally liked the one where my favorite wrestlers were in at the given time. Brian Pillman, Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior.

I heard the reason wcw went down was because of the executives wanted nothing to do with wrestling on the TV station TBS forcing turner to sell quickly and that's when Vince McMahon jumped on it , if Eric bishoff was able to buy wcw it probably would be still up and running today

Dustin Rhodes even said the Seven character was his idea and shot the videos but standards and practices killed it and thats why he came out and did the promo saying it sucked.

I remember Flair beat Jeff for the title then Russo stripped Flair because they said he had a heart attack so Jeff got the belt back and Kevin won it from Jeff and handed back to Flair so thats how Flair won his 16th championship.

Love Nash, but this Dude had the book for some of WCW's worst stuff and has been quoted MANY times saying sht like " Didnt care, My check was the same" Or " Still got paid, what do i care", but he cant just say what Konan said which is the Boys didnt do themselves any favors. Top of that list being Hulk and Nash

I had heard about the whole corporate espionage conspiracy angle before, but my god. I'm pretty convinced that's what happened. Siegel found the way out: set up a deal with my buddy, companies gone, and it's off our TV.

That finger poke sure didn’t help.

What nobody followed up on was, the mid card guys weren't being used in WCW because they weren't seen as top guys. They leave, go up north, and what happens? Vinny Mac sees what Vinny Ru-Ru saw and made them top guys! And Diesel gets butt hurt because they're great workers and they only thing Diesel is good at is being 6'10'', so he's no longer special. Therefore, wrestling is dead, because guys who can actually WORK and WRESTLE in the WRESTLING BUSINESS are doing something he can't, so that makes it unbelievable, unrelatable, and dead.

The press release announcing the sale of WCW to WWF was released the Friday before the last Nitro on both of their websites.

Excellent video

What’s with the editing of this clip?

“You say that like it’s a bad thing”

Not sure if anyone was aware that Jamie Kellner passed away last Friday.

I mean by the last months of WCW it was unfathomable to NOT want to drive a dagger through the bloated lifeless corpse that wcw became. When WCW was hot it was second to none, but when it sucked it made the 3 stooges look like the Vietnam war

I could of swore Nash did not have a problem with the Turner executives

Guy Evan's Nitro does not place the blame on Nash at all. That honor goes to Time Warner and AOL/TW.

does Sean still have heat with Konnan about no-showing and keeping the deposit years ago?

8:11 A little Kayfabe Commentaries lore reference for the long time fans, lol.

Sean sprinkling in some casual racism 🫥

We all know by now that when Kev and Scott showed up and started draining the coffers in WCW, it caused a floodgate for the other performers to make demands. Sorry, Kev.. YOU and Scott were why WCW went down. You let Hogan jump in, the worst leech in the industry, and he even took over the New world Organization so much, HE uses their own music as his personal theme now. You can say whatever you like these days, but actions speak louder than words and we ALL can see who did what and how it turned out afterwards.

Kevin dont take this the wrong way but I think there needed to be an ultimate end to the NWO. I look back at the first appearance of Scott Hall on WCW and you two really had a draw id say and did but im talking from someone who may have watched it the first time. The team gimmicks were kinda dull or just not good...the wolf pac, the outsiders...and the attires wernt all that though maybe it seemed cool it should have just been Hall and Nash for awhile and though NWO was an interesting idea it had nothing to do with the storyline of WWF vs WCW wrestlers...I think that alternate reality would have been more interesting I think but what im getting at is this NWO thing though it was cool it really stalled. You guys wernt even thinking about an end or whether it would be ended. You guys were gonna go over at WrestleMania x8 like what? You lost me there but you guys became real marks no offense. And what Eric should have done with Bret is have him, Goldberg, Sting and some others actually end the NWO...also the gangster entrances and the drinking you guys did also had nothing to do with the " invasion angel " which I really think the concept of what you guys started was lost in the confusion. Financially WCWs downfall was due to the Merger but the spirit of WCW was ultimately ended by the NWO, you guys, nobody wants to get the blame but you guys were running and booking the show, cant really blame the suits for that. But its the past now, its done, its over with, just live your life and know you had a heck of a run.

Wcw was gonna die either way. I mean they talk about ratings. Most of us just watched it as a pre-show for the real show which was wwf raw is war.

Not 1 thing killed wcw. Kevin is a part of the many reasons wcw died.

I love listening to Nash talking about giving people raises when he doesn't have the power to do that. So delusional.

Turner was the reason WCW failed, bad hires not knowing anything about the wrestling business was a formula for disaster. Your going to head to head with Vince McMahon in the wrestling business? Good luck with that one.

At this point. Who cares. What’s done is done. It’s nice to watch for nostalgia. The finger pointing is hilarious

This fucking editor killed WCW🤣

Hate to say this but Sean has turned into Nash's yes man echo chamber co host who comes off like he's on auto pilot all the time. Amazing interviewer but not a great co Host.

Before the Nwo, WcW sucked.. After Nwo went away, WcW sucked again.

Democrats killed WCW. That and Hulk Rogan

04:53 He is just.... sooooooo... homophobic 😄😅🏳️‍🌈LOL.

Are they both gonna just ignore the fact that Nash never gaf about being a Pro wrestler? You dont give a man with ZERO passion for the product the book or the strap. It was always a joke to him.
