Yeah he's dumb
He would have made it back off of that PPV alone
Goldberg vs. Austin for the Title during their relative primes might have made that PPV the highest grossing of all time
Not to mention matches like Sting/Taker, Hogan/Rock, etc. etc.
And they still could have ran the Invasion angle under that

In the Heyman doc, Paul says that he was close to buying Strikeforce, or going into business with them, but then UFC bought them out.
I really wonder how he would have made the MMA business more entertaining/different after seeing how radically different ECW was. It would have been interesting because you can't just hire a team of writers to make MMA more interesting.
Hell I really would like to see what he would have done with TNA.

Why should he have? I've heard those WCW contracts were INSANE. He wasn't going to make his money back signing them all at the same time. He eventually got them all at a discounted price.

The Rock winning the belt bothered me because it seemed forced and without a true build. Punk's streak was basically thrown aside to appease Cena and Rocky. Didn't care for that. Other than that, I didn't mind too much that The Rock won. Just wish he hadn't broken Punk's streak just to drop the belt to Cena.
• When Ric Flair won the WCW title in 2000 the quarterly rating was a 3.29. This was up almost 1.0 from the previous segment and was a sign that Flair was still the man people wanted to see as champion. He lost the title a week later after having a "heart attack"
• Flair had his second fake heart attack of his WCW career. Fans didn't believe the first one so to try and make this one more convincing they tried to convince the boys backstage it was real.
• Flair later claimed this "heart attack" was a collapse caused by an inner-ear imbalance. Everyone knew though that this was another ridiculous Russo attempt to work the boys.
• They went a step further by having a funeral for Flair which, you'll not be surprised to hear, featured Kevin Nash coming out of Flair's casket and taking the WCW title which had just been handed to Jeff Jarrett. To make things worse, Nash had trouble getting out of the casket. That set up the following:
• Nash took on Jarrett to decide the vacant title. Russo ran in and Nash went to powerbomb him in the aisle. The Vampiro blood came down from the ceiling and MISSED AGAIN! Nash covered for this by moving into the blood, getting it on himself and Russo. For a reason never explained, the blood incapacitated Nash. Even more bizarre, it had no affect on Russo at all. Jarrett subsequently pinned Nash and won the title.
• As if the above wasn't bad enough, the title went to Nash on the following Thunder and then on the next edition of Nitro the title changed hands twice in one night. Within a week the title had gone from Jarrett to being vacant, to Jarrett to Nash. Then Nash gave the belt back to Flair who had never lost it and on the same night Flair lost the belt back to Jarrett. Confused? You're not the only one.

Terrible booking, yes but some of those details were a bit off. Still funny
Start around 48:00 for Funeral. 1:20:00 for the Title Match

I 100% remember the blood miscue Nash basically having to backpedal into the blood was 
And those salaries that were mentioned :x Ice Train got paid so much for so little, but Swoll's 350k or whatever for basically 6 matches is more embarrassing

That promo was hilarious. This is why I love Cheap Heat. It's the only podcast that sounds like true fans man. Feel like those dudes could be apart of the NTWT
