The same old story has been told a million times before, World Championship Wrestling was a miserable failure. Listening to WWE talk about their old rivals, it'd be easy for younger fans to imagine that the promotion existed as a blip on the wrestling radar. As anyone of age to remember the organisation will testify, it wasn't all bad down in Atlanta. WCW were responsible for some of the greatest moments in North American grappling history. Traditionally, the NWA/WCW was regarded as a company which focused more on in-ring content than the WWF. Certainly when Vince McMahon decided on national (and eventually global) expansion, his group relied less on actual wrestling. Instead, the WWF was a more glitzy, glamourous affair. Over in WCW, the likes of 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair and Harley Race were waiting for those who preferred their authentic wrestling. As time marched on, things changed a little, but nobody should be under the impression that WCW didn't present some winning storylines. Those angles are put under the microscope here, and it's reasoned that McMahon himself wishes he could have been the one to run with these ideas initially. From invading forces and sterling comebacks, to true wrestling firsts and unbelievable rivalries, WCW did a lot of good that goes unnoticed. It's time to give that credit.
