Published 2020-08-10
In the year 2000, WCW copied everything the WWF was doing.
The only thing they just couldn't seem to copy was their success.

Booker T was just too good. The many attempts of burying him only made him more legendary in both WCW and WWE.
-
Im convinced the WWE had already purchased the WCW at this point and was doing this to bury the company.
-
Road Dogg was basically Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle album.
-
Booking that the bookers couldn't keep up with. Shows Booker. Well done.
-
13:10 "People that smoke are usually happy. These dudes were PISSED!" 😂🤣😂🤣
-
Chris kanyon was hilarious with the diamond cutter rampage gimmick R.I.P
-
WCW from late 1999 to 2001 was like a diet, caffeine free, zero calorie, generic store brand soda thats been sitting in a hot car for awhile. At the time it was like a car crash that you couldn't look away from.
-
I think WCW was already going out of business and these "copycats" were them being personal with WWE because they were losing the ratings war and they were desperate.
-
When the rock dissed juventud 😂😂
-
I LOVED WCW, but 2000-2001 was saddening. Was like being a Knicks fan, hoping for a resurrection!!!
-
Who else remembers Booker T's old slogans, "Save the drama for yo mama!" & "Don't hate the player, hate the game."
-
Kanyon, hitting RKOs outta nowhere before it was cool
-
I think one you missed was Norman Smiley´s "hardcore survivor" gimmick, that was basically a rip-off of what WWF were doing with Crash Holly at the time.
-
Kanyon was great I like how he would Diamond cutter anybody he saw lol
-
The one impersonation missing was Mark Maddon trying to be like Jerry Lawler on commentary.
-
Buzzkill's attire looks like Dude Love's
-
I'll give Booker T credit for his catchphrase "Don't hate the playa, hate the game." love that.

I was 12 years old then and I recall getting WCW Mayhem JUST for the CAW feature. I created a bunch of Copycat Wrestlers from WWF. I had already switch from WCW to WWF after the David Arquette controversy, but I still checked into Nitro at 7pm, before RAW was on the air at 8pm. I wasnt the brightest 12 year old then, but I also wasnt Blind neither- I clearly saw how much WCW was ripping off WWF; so I began watching only WWF and never checked on WCW until McMahon announced he bought the company.

Juventud Guerrera was a great wrestler too man, pure wasted potential, and it was sad when he had to be unmasked. Such a shame.
-
Disco Inferno got into hip-hop and renamed himself Disqo. I'm not sure that counts, since he didn't act like Sisqo and DI's comedy gimmick didn't change. There WAS a plastic duck he called Disqo Duck, though. Scott Steiner hated it. Also, Hulk Hogan had that FUNB run where he wore a black vest, had a speak-the-truth attitude and called himself Terry Bollea so the audience knew how REAL he now was.
