WRESTLING REPRESSION

It's easy to publicly criticize World Championship Wrestling for something, the same cannot be said when publicly criticizing the WWF.

I found that out last week when my column was published about how the WWF has mishandled Chris Jericho since his debut. The negative feedback was overwhelming.

The first thing I want to establish here is my blatant biased attitude towards the WWF. I'm as much as a WWF mark as the rest of you reading, and I want you all to take that into account next time you read one of my anti WWF columns. The WWF deserves just as much criticism to their faults as WCW does, if not more due to the fact that they are the ones on top of the mountain.

Now that that is out of the way, let's move onto the column for this week.

What do Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Kevin Sullivan, Eric Bishoff, Bill Busch, and Vince Russo have in common?

At one point in time they were singly blamed for the downfall of WCW.

There's only one man that can take the majority blame for the downfall of WCW. It can't be the talent to take the blame. Management can't take much of the blame because if they aren't doing their jobs the way the jobs should be done for an extended period of time that's the fault of one man.

Ted Turner.

He's the one man at any point in time, that can come in and truly shakeup the company.

He's the one man that none of the talent would question.

If Ted Turner were to stay involved for a long period of time than it wouldn't be a good thing my any means. He would set back the wrestling business twenty years.

But if he were to come in, talk to the talent, talk to the management, and at least show some interest, it might perk everyone's spirits up and give them a feeling that somebody cares about the company.

Locker room morale is very important in the overall product.

All it would take would be one visit from the owner of the company to give the promotion some motivation to succeed.
