10 Years ago today......... Has it been that long..

10 years ago today , the impossible happened. A moment that happened that has literally changed the landscape of pro wrestling. 10 short years ago, Vince McMahon purchased his competition. 10 years ago on this very day, Vince McMahon cemented his legacy in the wrestling business by buying his sole competition and creating a monopoly in the wrestling business. Shortly there after wrestling fans salivated at the possibility of a WCW vs. WWF storyline. All of the elements were there in one company: The video library, The superstars, The larger than life personas. There was one element missing: The booking team.
10 years ago today started the ball rolling on what can be considered one of the worst booked wrestling angles in wrestling history. WWE could have made millions on a WWF vs. WCW storyline that could have lasted well over a year. They could of had their own brand if Vince wanted. What happened instead? We got a WCW/ECW merger vs. WWF and that feud would last approximately 6 months with the focus of the feud being the McMahons and their egos.
As I write this, I have mixed emotions. None of them are happy. A feud, a storyline was created the day Vince McMahon bought WCW. He had the greatest wrestling feud in the palm of his hand and he turned around, dropped it and walked away. I can't even comprehend what the powers that be in WWF were thinking while booking this feud. Legends such as Sting, Goldberg, Hogan , Nash, weren't even thought about being brought in. However they brought in guys like Palumbo, O'Haire, Stasiak, and Hugh Morris. They thought it would be a great idea to have those guy be the WCW invaders.  The more I write the more I get angry because it's like having an antique that you know will be worth money, and everyone else knows it will be worth money and EVERYONE wants you to make money off of it, but you throw it away.  All the wrestlers KNEW what could have been. EVERYONE knew what Vince had , and he spit on something that could have been so amazing.
Well.... All Is not lost, we still have TNA!
Oh Shit.
