More details behind "Who Killed WCW?"
"Who Killed WCW?" is a four-part documentary that is currently airing on VICE TV detailing the downfall of WCW with the likes of Eric Bischoff, Goldberg, Booker T, Vince Russo, Bret Hart, Kevin Nash, Turner Executives, and more giving their perspective on the promotion.
Two names who are notably absent are Sting and Ric Flair, the two men were involved in the rise and fall of WCW.
"Sting, unfortunately, I didn't hear back from. When we visited [Jericho] at AEW, that was my mission. I don't think he likes being on camera in these types of interviews. That's my gut read. I don't know if that's true or not. Unfortunately, didn't hear back from Sting. He would have been amazing. Hogan would have been amazing. Obviously, he feels like a big absence as well. There were days when I woke up and I felt like we had him and he was going to do it, but ultimately he decided not to. Ric Flair, it was tough, because when you think of WCW, Ric Flair is WCW. For us, it was mapping out the money that we had, wink wink, and when we did our research in terms of guys booked and going into it, Ric wasn't necessarily a name that had a part of the end days of WCW. He was there, but in trying to maximize the number of people we wanted in the show and people to speak directly about a piece, a part, or some blame...I don't think of Ric as being synonymous with the death of WCW," producer Evan Husney said on Talk is Jericho with Chris Jericho.
Ric Flair vs. Sting was the final match in WCW history.
