Nah... Sting, Dangerous Alliance, Vader, Steamboat, Dustin & Windham, Gordy & Dr. Death, Cactus, Jushin Liger, Pillman, etc. were puttin' in that work and turning out good TV... but like most of the time, whomever was runnin' WCW weren't on their shyt and managed to screw it all up by the end of '92. And yeah, they were givin' away super discounted and sometimes free tickets. My local channel that aired WCW was 54, and they were giving tickets for kids at 54 cents sometimes. Other times they'd be 1 or 2 dollars... shyt was wild. At the time, I didnt mind of course, but lookin back, they were definitely doin' bad business-wise.
