10 Reasons WCW Spring Stampede 2000 Was Wrestling’s Most Over-Booked PPV Ever
10. The New Blood Vs. The Millionaire's Club Idea Dominated
The beauty of the nWo story was in the simplicity of the idea. Somewhere along the way, that's a style of writing WCW forgot about, everything started to become convoluted and messy. In the lead up to Spring Stampede, messy would be the ideal word to describe things.
Ironically, the whole purpose of booking the build was to eliminate confusion. Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo joined forces to form The New Blood, a renegade group of hungry wrestlers who were tired of being held down by the more established stars. Those veteran names were collectively dubbed The Millionaire's Club, and were originally supposed to be heels.
The problem was, there was still affection for guys like DDP, Sting and Kevin Nash. This made New Blood the villains of the piece, and the whole situation just started to look tired from the get go. There was more than an air of the nWo Hollywood vs. nWo Wolfpac feud from years prior, and WCW fans had grown jaded on major stables warring.
