question about wcw?

WCW was it's biggest competitor, in order of rivalries it would only make sense to make Smackdown WCW which would make the most sense and it was sorta built that way but in the long run putting on the development shows such as Velocity or any other C shows when WCW already had major stars who were recognizable and ready makes absolutely no sense to me.

One thing though. The big contracts. Hogan, Hall, Nash, Sting, Savage, Ric Flair, and Goldberg were being paid millions to stay home. Money that Vince was not going to match. So even if it was created as a separate brand, how could it have survived without its biggest stars?

The answer is since Heat and Velocity were syndicated shows he could have turned them into WCW shows with no complaint but I doubt the idea was there at the time.
