Sting openly didn’t come over because he didn’t trust Vince, especially because of how dirty Booker got done in his feud with the Rock. Think about how many guys from 2001-18 Vince buried as punishment for getting over without his permission and had no other place to work.

Coli brehs could have likely pooled and bought it. Of course then comes paying salaries etc
I read Turner had to keep some random entity alive to keep paying Hulk hogan and a few others life time payments or some wild shyt for the crazy deals they were giving dudes back then
Wrestling despite its viewership back then, wasn’t seen as valuable TV content due to advertisers seeing wrestling fans as low brow entertainment. Without a TV network to go to, WCW wasn’t worth nearly as much.
Sure. Why couldn't Bischoff come up with the money though. The IP is probably worth is.
He only wanted to continue running it as a TV show promotion much like early TNA was. His plan was to set up a studio in Vegas for the meantime and once they settled financially, run some events. No point in buying IP if there no TV to promote content.
