After tossing around a few ideas, I thought I would give my own spin on the well worn topic that is WCW's fall from grace. I'm sure most of you will know what will lie ahead, but I have a few personal items that I rarely see mentioned, and hopefully I'll give it enough of my own spin to make it seem fresh.
You could choose 1,000 moments, but let's just make it the Top 10

With that in mind, let's start the countdown with one of WCW's worst attempts at a bait and switch.

Star-divide

It's May 1998 (damn I feel old just typing that) and the Monday Night War is at its peak. In April 1998, Monday Night Raw finally bested Nitro in the ratings for the first time in over a year and a half. However, the ratings would go back and forth throughout the summer and fall until Raw would take the lead spot for good in Nov. 1998.

Both sides came out swinging during this time in an effort to get people watching. One of the more infamous moments was when the DX Army (HHH, Chyna, X-Pac, and The New Age Outlaws) "invaded" Nitro on April 27 1998.

Following that, DX do a similar "invasion" outside of WCW's headquarters in Atlanta and another Nitro.

All of this prompted Eric Bischoff to issue a challenge for Vince McMahon, which was for the two of them to have a match at Slamboree 1998 to settle the score.

Now, anyone with half a brain knew there was no way Vinny Mac was going to show up on a WCW pay-per-view (PPV) to help out their buyrate, but WCW kept promoting it like there was a legitimate chance of it happening. Instead, what paying fans got was Michael Buffer saying "Vincent K. McMahon" a few times before Bischoff ordered a 10 count and to be declared the winner.It would be the last real success WCW had

All of this would become the hallmark of WCW's dying days. Promising the world while before delivering cheap stunts to the increasingly smaller paying crowds. In addition, you only have to take a look at the rest of the Slamboree '98 card to realize what will be another common thread in this series: WCW treating its PPVs as secondary to the Monday Night ratings battle.

On a side note, when this "match" was on WWE Classics, it featured one of the more eyebrow raising and unnecessary of WWE's white washings. In the original broadcast, there was no music when McMahon was announced. However, in the WWE version, McMahon's "No Chance in Hell" is inserted.

Indeed

It doesn't surprise me then that this guy was a total toolbag to you. As much as I love the business, its fanbase, especially on the internet, can be real douchey at times.

[MrBogosity]

Yeah, as much as I'd love to be outraged at the despicable behavior, "A wrestling fan acted like a total douchebag" pretty much gets a "ho hum" from me.

Oh god. All of today's episode of ABC's This Week could be submitted for this thread. Today's episode is a debate on whether or not government is too big. So much state apologizing. If the episode ever gets uploaded to the internet, I'll post it. It has the usual tripe like how government saved us from the Great Depression and even plays a massive strawman argument saying that everyone who claims to be small government or no government is goes back to government whenever they need anything.

Anyway, they also played this clip too.

Oh lordy. They actually uploaded this entire failure of a piece.

Warning: What you are about to read is absolutely stupid at best and completely immoral at worst.

Your natural birth right is to survive however you please. Your government, your society, and your fellow man shall forever impose on that birthright because they share that the exact same birthright to kill you or use you or get in your way. We all have the right to impose on each other's liberties. Survival is not nice, and compromise is merely a method of control and ambiguous coexistence, if anything, a rational choice among irrational answers that color themselves right or wrong, red or blue, and conservative or liberal. I am entitled to do whatever I please and because you are entitled to do whatever you please, you can try and stop me. It's your birthright.

This comes from Twitter

marriage as a gov't institution was designed to foster procreation to keep the national birth rate healthy.   Last time I checked homosexuals can't help out with the birth rate.

Yeah...That guy needs professional help.
And by that I mean, locked up in a padded room with a strait jacket kind of help...

[MrBogosity]

There is a definite "potential danger to himself and others" undertone there.

Everything made by Etzel33 in here.  So owning land is inherrently an act of aggression and believing in the Non Initiation of Force principle requires faith.

Why is this in Fav and not Fail quotes? Because that's as massive fail as I've seen in a long time!

You're right, it should be in Fail Quotes, whoops!

[MrBogosity]

It is now (after some Admin magic!).

[FSBlueApocalypse]

Yeah, I'm not sure which one is the biggest fail. I'm leaning towards saving the American auto industry.
