5 biggest WCW mistakes that AEW needs to avoid

#4 Ridiculous gimmicks and segments

When Chucky came to WCW

With the formation of nWo, WCW ushered in an era of intriguing programming, that captured the attention of the '90s fans who were getting tired of over the top characters that had actually worked back in the day.

WCW's storied history is marred with some of the most ridiculous ideas being thrown in and actually getting approved! Back in 1990, WCW promoted the movie Robocop by naming a PPV after it. Capital Combat: Return of RoboCop saw the machine-human hybrid come to the rescue of Sting, who was being beaten up by The Four Horsemen.

Years after, the horrifying doll named 'Chucky' from the movie "Child's Play" was featured on WCW TV, a moment that is still looked down upon around 2 decades later. WCW even had a Yeti make its debut and get actual PPV time, back in 1995! Hopefully, AEW realizes that these kind of segments and gimmicks won't work in today's times (not that they did much good back in the late '90s), and steers clear of anything along these lines.
