Something wwe buries them for but have probably outdone them as the years went by.I think they wanted to give him a big face turn/push but couldn't quite figure out how.
FtfyBut in honesty, Raven aside and the other things people have mentioned here, Halloween Havoc with Warrior and Hogan was the straw that broke the camel's back imo.
Seriously?? A botched fireball attempt and then Horace fucking "Hogan" with a chair shot after one of the worst matches and angles of all time? That's the payoff after years and years since the amazing Wrestlemania 6 glory? That was brutal.

Austin wasn't going to be SCSA in WCW anyhow. Had he stayed, he would've just been another midcarder. Looking back, even Austin himself realizes this. He needed WCW firing him while he was recovering from an injury to kick him in the rear and get going.Firing Steve Austin. not only did it get rid of an actual popular upper mid-carder but they handed other companies one of the top three wrestlers of all time

Biggest fuck up was Starrcade '97. They F up Hogan/Sting and they bring in Bret Hart the worst way possible.
Yep. Just like Mean Mark wouldn't have been Taker in WCW or Terror Rising HHH.Austin wasn't going to be SCSA in WCW anyhow. Had he stayed, he would've just been another midcarder.

Correct. Hogan already there and Nash and Hall incoming, Austin would have been doomed to a life on the undercard. He went to the WWE at the right time. Alot of timing helped. The Kliq was on their way out within a year and HBK injures his back and reluctantly retires.Yep. Just like Mean Mark wouldn't have been Taker in WCW or Terror Rising HHH.
HHH was already doing the blue blood gimmick dubya-c-dubya.Yep. Just like Mean Mark wouldn't have been Taker in WCW or Terror Rising HHH.
That occurring on the same night as the fingerpoke of doom had a compounding effect IMO. WCW basically told viewers to change the channel to watch a fan favorite win the belt, and simeltaneously shit on their own fan base with another worn-out NWO power play angle.Not the biggest but having Tony give away the Mankind title win was a huge mistake.

I didn't have access to spoilers at the time and thought there was no way Mankind would actually win. I had no plans to watch RAW that night until Tony put my butt in the seat.
