Actually that was funny, but honestly, the days of loyalty are long gone, everyone on here knows if another company offers them a better deal:  more money, better benefits or longer vacation, they are gone, the business'es have cultivated this attitude, cause you know, if the company can hire someone for less to do the same or more work, you ass is out the door and have to agree with the comments, not really sure if making millions counts as getting screwed.

That's why WCW went belly-up. The wrestlers were getting paid, whether they performed well in the ring or not. In essence, they were coasting on name-recognition. That caused the mass exodus of guys like Benoit, Jericho, Mysterio, and others.

The only guy that WCW had worth watching was Goldberg, but his matches lasted all of60 seconds. So, you could watch his match on Nitro and switch right back to RAW, because WCW main-eventers were performing as anything but that.

RAW wasn't always broadcast live. And, WCW was quick to let the fans know about it, by revealing the results of the taped episodes of RAW on Nitro. In fact, yet another embarrassing moment for the WWF, "Ravishing" Rick Rude appeared on both Nitro and RAW on the same night. Rude left the WWF shortly after a Tuesday RAW taping and went to WCW, which debuted Rude on Nitro on the same night that the WWF aired the taped RAW with him on it.

However, that tactic of announcing the outcome of the taped RAW's matched backfired on WCW big-time in 1998. When Mick Foley (as Mankind) first won the WWF title, it was on a RAW taping. WCW announced that Foley, known as Cactus Jack in WCW, would win the championship. The following that Foley had (combined with Nitro, being rather lame that night) had fans actually turning to RAW to watch him win the title.
