Plans For First Episodes Of 'Who Killed WCW?' Revealed
Three of the four episodes have been revealed.
Vice TV's new docuseries 'Who Killed WCW?' is set to debut on June 4.
Ahead of the show's premiere, descriptions for the first three episodes of the four-part series have been revealed. They are as follows:
"June 4 - Where The Big Boys Play - Through a series of unlikely events, brash young salesman Eric Bischoff lands control of WCW and aligns with star Hulk Hogan to create a '90s pop culture phenomenon.
"June 11 - The Streak is Over - Now the most popular wrestling company on television, WCW hits choppy waters as the show's main event stars put their own interests and egos ahead of what's best for the company.
"June 18 - New Blood - WWF writer Vince Russo is hired to help save WCW; the brazen New Yorker clashes with the company's top stars; WCW enters an ominous downward spiral."
Key players, including Bischoff, Russo, Kevin Nash, Bret Hart, Booker T, Diamond Dallas Page and others have been interviewed for the series. One person who was not interviewed was WCW icon Ric Flair, who labelled the decision 'embarrassing'.
Brian Gewirtz (who is helping to produce the show via Dwayne Johnson's Seven Bucks Productions) has claimed that 'Who Killed WCW?' will not be a retread of WWE's history of the promotion.
