I'd rather them not seeing their own son shooting virtual hookers for money, and then using said money to buy virtual weed.
But that's just me being weird
Gotta keep up dat good son image, bro.

Jeff Jarret is too busy trying to make sure Karen and his kids aren't Chris Benoit'd by Kurt Angle
He was a perfect mid card guy. It was ridiculous when TNA tried to make him a top heel. Then again, TNA made Jeff Jarrett their top heel for 5 years. Double J is the ultimate mid card guy.
but..but....slap nuts.
show them the strip club.

Double J never should have EVER advanced past the midcard. His greatest work was when he did MMA against kids.
Since Stro's time with WCW is almost over I thought I'd list my favorite guys from that era in no particular order.
Meng
Disco Inferno
Scott Norton
MONDAY NIGHT Jericho
Ultimo Dragon (still quite possibly my favorite wrestler of all time)
La Parka
Raven
Dean Malenko
Saturn
Chavo
Eddie
Alex Wright (but only with Disco)
Kanyon
and an off and on again liking/hating of DDP.
I watched every single WCW Nitro I could from the one directly after Wrestlemania XIV until the end, so I basically caught almost none of the rise, a bit of the peak, and all of the fall of the show. My buddy and I used to call each other up every Monday and stay on the phone all three hours and quite a bit of joking happened during that first hour in 1999-2001.
Thunder was always terrible. The pecking order for WCW was always Nitro>PPV>tNitro House Show>Saturday Night>Thunder. What a waste of two hours. It became a total embarrassment when Smackdown started and completely blew it away in ratings. The only really memorable moment was when an actor won the World Championship in 2000.

WWE made the ultimate mid card guy one of their top 2 guys.
Double J is a good man
He put Chyna over

He didn't have to but he did.
CM Punk? Yeah I know.

I can't argue with ANY of this, your list is impeccable. You like the same dudes I did. They were trying to make caviar out of fish eggs. Polishing a turd. They did all they could with what they had.

I'll never forget when they revealed on TV that Stone Cold and Debra were married. Like...what?
Disco Inferno is king of comedy heel mid carders. He's the heel version of Santino basically. Entertaining, easy to hate, works well enough in the ring.
Disco did start to get slightly over at various points in his WCW run but they always made sure to depush him regularly. I've only heard rumors of what happened to him in TNA but I can't really see him working out as the top heel in any capacity at all.
He is a guy I could totally see on a major roster today though. Heath Slater is well on his way to being Disco 2.0 but he might need a bit more in ring polish to get on his level.

I think Alex Wright's stock shot up a ton with me during this. He was legit good and rarely got a chance to show it, but when he did, you could tell he was a real wrestler. I'll do a full fave five (or more) and least fave Konnan, plus gifs. It's easy to see that this was the beginning of the end.

Watching the Rivalries video on netlflix and they bring up the custody battle between Rey and Guererro as good? Yuck

I remember when Disco wanted WCW to have an invisible wrestler and he wanted to be the first one to job to him.

Alex Wright got a raw deal near the end with Berlyn. Was a shame. He's the bomb.
I wonder when they're going to actually reveal Brie and Bryan's relationship and then have Orton attack her. The hug on Raw was a start I guess, but they didn't really acknowledge it.
Everyone got a raw deal at the end.
They've acknowledged it and Cena/Other Bella's relationships on TV multiple times since Total Divas started.
To get ready for AJ Styles shoot promo tomorrow lets review another classic one. The Tony Schiavone shoot promo on Mike Tenay on NWA/TNA PPV 1/30/03. It also includes Vince Russo repeating the crap theat killed the WCW. It also includes whiney gum chewing Douchbag AJ Styles, David Flair, fat Road Dogg and the The Rock 'n' Roll Express in 2003.
Amazing they turned this shit around to be good by 2005.

WCW was better than WWF for a few years. Didn't really matter in the end.

It's painful seeing TNA suffer like this. I wish I had a pillow big enough to just put it out of it's misery.
Then Vince Russo came back again to write for the show and killed there momentum. Just look at Samoa Joe. He was badass closing in on being a star and Vince Russo shows up and look at him now.

Real talk Dr death should be in the hall of fame

also i had no idea that Inoki was in the HOF.

Raven looks like Jeff Hardy without facepaint in this.
What is this...face Double J? No guitar?
That drop kick is awesome. Next year might be the year for Dr. Death to be in the HOF since I assume they'll go for whatever top Mid South guys aren't already in. I think they're going to have to start doing the HOF every other year pretty soon. Pretty much all of the big 80s people besides Savage, Rude, and Warrior are in, everyone that should be in from the 90s is already in. Sting, Savage, Warrior, Rude are the big four left in my eyes.
I agree with this statement.
Making kids tap out to the ankle lock was pretty funny.
Euthanization?
It'll die, you just need something catastrophic for it to do so.

The WWE was about 10x smaller back then. Remember, even people who hate the current product are still likely giving the WWE money via DVD's such as the recent Mid-South set.
Put it this way, WCW had the worst year in wrestling and it lost $60 million dollars. WWE could lose that much in a year and still have cash left over.
