Even tho wrestling is just as popular today as it's ever been there's no doubt that it was at it's height in popularity in the nineties. With the WWE then the WWF not really doing all that well as they were still stuck in the eighties and sticking with what worked however there was one company that did dare to try and do something different and even tho they never ended beating the WWF on a fully time basis they did beat them two almost two years straight but really all good things must come to an end with the company in question really going downhill interms really quickly and outright going out on business by 2001 and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE of the show that dares to answer the question of who killed wcw with the show in question being called simply just "Who Killed WCW?" enjoy.
The plot of show is over twenty years after it;s closed it;s doors for good there is one question that many people want answered and that question is who killed wcw?. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually feature / resented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I im all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad as it is something that alot of people who like professional wrestling have not only asked for decades at this point but also want to know the answer to as there are so many people that could be blamed for it going out of business but at the very least only one person who could possibly be blamed for outright killing the company as a whole and that is something that is going to get alot of attention from the wrestling world and from those that really do love professional wrestling as a whole with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this show is Guy Evans , Eric Bischoff , Brad Siegel , Kevin Nash , Kevin Sullivan and Dallas Page. Also starring in this show is Bret Hart , Dick Cheatham , Booker Huffman / Booker T , Janie Engle , Charles Ashenoff / Konnan , Neal Pruitt , Debra Ann Miceli / Medusa , Loree Bischoff , Bill Goldberg , Vince Russo , Sharmell Sullivan-Huffman , Stuart Snyder , Scream star David Arquette and one of this shows executive producers Black Adam and Fast And Furious star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual interviews that are actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I im all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual interviews that are actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. As alot of the people that are being interviewed were not only involved with WCW in someway shape r form but also don't repeat themselves alot of the time and while yes we do get some people repeating answers from other people those are very few and far between and while the show does have a great verity of interviewees it's clear that they couldn't get alot of other people who were involved with WCW which makes you wonder why they didn't get people like Paul Weight or Perry Saturn or Dean Malenko all of whom spent alot of time in WCW and all of whom would have added something to the show but instead what we got was a relatively small amount of cast that actually had a hand in WCW.
For some strange reason this show features alot of interviews with one of this shows executive producers Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. As it's something that really doesn't make sense for him to be in this show as he never wrestled nor did he ever work for WCW while it does make sense for him to be in this show from marketing aspect as he is the biggest name in the cast but from any other point of view it doesn't really make sense heck in would make more sense for somebody like Aj Styles to be involved with this show as he did wrestle for WCW and yet by bringing in Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson it takes away a spot from somebody who would have known what was going on at the company at that point in time and not have someone who never had anything to do with the company while it would have been just fine for him to remain as an executive producer as it's his production company making the show having him be in the actual show itself just came across as being really weird.
As is to be expected from a documentary like this one the show does give us alot of people who might be responsible for killing of WCW. With them ranging from the obvious like Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo to the less obvious like Kevin Nash as he did temporally take over as head booker for WCW when Eric wasn't feeling to good to even alot of the people that worked at Turner Broadcasting getting alot of the blame as well and while the show does indeed give us alot of reasons to blame every one of the people listed as they all at some point did pay a part in the downfall of WCW to say that it's any one of them is just looking at this at a base level and not really digging deeper and while alot of these people indeed deserve some f the blame of killing of WCW alot more of the blame has to go to the company as a whole and how badly it was run and managed by not only the producers who there on day to day basis but also those at Turner Broadcasting who openly admitted to not even getting why the company was liked in the first place.
The show does spend the first three episodes of giving us a new person to blame in each episode with Eric being blamed in episode 1 of the show Kevin Nash and the wrestlers get the blame in episode and Vince Russo gets the blame in episode 3 and those at Turner Broadcasting get the blame in episode 4. While it does make sense for each of them to get the blame as Vince was the head writer for WCW during it's final and dreadful years and Eric did run out of ideas quickly with him often reverting back to what worked instead of trying something and different which wasn't helped with the legends big ego's with them often changing things to fit what a certain wrestler wants to do and not do something that's best for the companies and Turner Broadcasting was frequently doing whatever they could do to get rid of WCW because those in charge don't like wrestling and didn't want a wrestling company airing on there network and on there company books and so they would often give over things like CNN for example a better budget this is despite the fact that CNN wasn't making them money where as WCW was making them money and while WCW for it's first few years didn't make them money when it was a hit with Monday Nitro it was making them loads of money and yet they were still treated horribly by Turner Broadcasting.
For some reason this show is missing alot of contributions from a lot of key people that were involved with WCW. As there are no interviews with Sting , Jeff Jarret , Scott Steiner or even Ric Flair all of whom helped to make the company as good as it was and heck there's not even an appearance from Hulk Hogan who helped to make the company as big as it was as well and while yes the wrestlers chosen are also important to the legacy of WCW when you think of this company and you see a company abut this company you want to see interviews from people who worked for them at the time and are known more for working for them and yet for some reason there not in this show and while Christ Jericho was offered a chance to appear in this show but turned it down due to the fact that he's also the narrator of Dark Side Of The Ring and is close with the shows producers there wasn't a reason given as to why the other WCW wrestlers who are all still alive weren't even asked to be on the show when they should have been asked as WCW is apart of there legacy and it's something that would have brought more eyes to the show as fans of those people really would have watched this show due to the fact that there appearing on it.
Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty four minuets and ten seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for this show with all of the episodes of this show having roughly the exact grand total running time as well and to be fair this is is show that really did need to be this long as there's no way that you can tell a story like in shorter episodes but where the show does fail isn't with it's running time it's with it's episode count as there only four episodes of this show when a story that when you really get down to it is alot more complex then what the show makes it out to be really did need a longer episode count in order to do the story alot more justice and by only doing this as a four episode show it really doesn't do the story any kind of justice and it means that that none of the episodes can't really go into that much detail either about what it was that caused WCW to become popular in the first place or what caused it do get cancelled but I will admit that this show does have some really good pacing to it tho.
So now then as this is drama that means that I have to actually talk about the actual drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. As alot of the drama in this show does come from a place of love either for the company or for the wrestling busisness as a whole and it was interesting to see that both Bret Hart and Bill Goldberg still don't like each other with Bret himself still blaming Goldberg for basically forcing him into retirement and blaming Eric for what he thinks is lying to him when he came to WCW and there's alot of solid drama like that all of other the show but at the same time tho there are some dramatic moments that with hindsight could have been fixed with them just sitting down and talking like the fact that Eric and Vince Russo still don't like each other due to a reason that's so complicated that it would take an entire documentary series to really do it justice and yet it's something that could have been fixed if the two of them just sat together and talked things out in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this is a solid documentary but at the same time it's one that could have been alot longer by having a longer episode count as four episodes isn't long enough to do a story like this one justice and as a result of that is the fact that the series itself really does feel like a shorter version of what really went down in real life in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad thing that are in this very show in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very show and are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
