well, with wrestlemania approaching, i have a few questions concerning the wrestling continuity since i havent followed it regularly in a while.

1. wasnt wwf and wcw arch enemies, meaning vince mccmann and ted turner hated each other and vince hated them more once they successfully convinced wwf's biggest stars to come over to wcw? so why are they now having cross-over matches and stuff?

2. What exactly is New World order and is there a wcw anymore?

3. Does wwf own nwo now?? if not, has vince and ted resolved their differences? and, who is the team that usually comes out on top, wwf or nwo?? im guessing wwf is always the top dog, but like i said, i havent watched too often lately.

4. i know there was a whole business story line in wwf involving ownership of both wwf and wcw, so what was that all about?

and who is looking forward to Hulk Hogan vs The Rock?? i cant wait. the main reason is Hulk Hogan defined a generation of wrestling fans (my generation that is, all of us who grew up in the 80s) and the Rock also is the main man of his generation, the generation following wwf's comeback and all the media hype of the late 90s. ofcourse i want hogan to win, but that may just be a generational bias on my part. peace.

The old Ted Turner owned WCW went out of business last March. Vince McMahon then bought the name and video library because it was so cheap, and around June/July the new "WCW" invaded the WWF, with crossover matches/angles. Alot of people (myself included) were unimpressed with this invasion, seeing as most of the prominant WCW superstars were missing in action- the WWF hadn't bought out their over-expensive contracts.

WCW is gone- at Survivor Series the WWF beat them in a winner-take-all match, so to speak. (Which is so lame, cuz half the "WCW" superstars are in the WWF now anyway!)

When WWF bought WCW, they also bought the rights to NWO.

It was a poorly done storyline. It could have been so much better. And dont get me started on what they have done with te nWo.

WWF supposedly owns ECW also. ECW was way better then WWF and WCW combined. ECW had so many legends..... Rob Van Dam, Cactus Jack, Mikey Shipwreck, Tommy Dreamer, and New Jack. Just to name a few.
