In todays world you pretty much cant hide anything, because everything gets filmed and photographed. Your phone has a camera on it that would put top of the line digital cameras from a decade ago to shame, and you can now fit what would have been a whole movie studio thirty years ago, into your back pocket. So even if WWE would like to try and be in control of everything that they produce they cant be. As long as there are people watching, there will be people filming and capturing the WWE product themselves. And because of this the internet is starting to acquire a pretty decent alternative collection of footage that hasnt gone through the McMahon filter. But what of WCW? WCW might have only gone out of business in fourteen years ago, but in technology terms 2001 is light years in the past. We dont have this archive of amateur camera footage flooding the internet so we can get a sneak behind the curtain. In the late 90s and early 00s the technology and flexibility simply wasnt there. Luckily for us, WCW was a pretty shambolic company at times, particularly at the end. Because of this they have let some off air moments sneak into their product, revealing a lot about what was going on, and how WCW was produced than they might have wanted people to see. We have tried to collect some good examples here so hopefully you can get a taste of what was happening in WCW that might not get shown on the WWE network.
