15 Exact Moments WCW Booking Stopped Making Sense

The 9 October 2000 Nitro took place in Australia, so there was a bit of vigour about the weekly show that didn't exist back home in the United States. Fans in Brisbane were excited to see WCW's product live for the first time ever, and that gave Nitro a buzz. Naturally, some of the booking dulled that buzz by simultaneously sucking the life out of the live crowd and making some workers look so stupid it almost gave viewers a headache.

Look, David Flair was supposed to be zany and unpredictable, but his segment with Stacy Keibler was ridiculous. Dave hit the ring to demand that Stacy give him a blood sample so they could take a DNA test. This was all part of the ongoing storyline involving Keibler - she was trying to find out who the father of her unborn child was. Infamously, the likes of Vince Russo and David's father Ric were in the running to be outed as daddy dearest.

WCW thankfully didn't pull the trigger on either of those.

Announcer Mark Madden interrupted David to clue him in on the silliness of his request. They already knew that Stacy was the mother, so she didn't need to give blood for any testing. "We already know she's the mother, Einstein", he said. Indeed. This and a 4 minute hardcore bout between Flair and Mike Awesome likely had fans in Australia wishing the WWF's Raw had visited their country instead of WCW.

The joke (David Flair was an idiot) didn't really land, and the story wasn't gripping people anyway.
