The conversation then takes a sharp turn as Eric breaks down his Top 5 WCW Fails, revisiting the awful moments, terrible decisions, and embarrassing gimmicks that still make fans cringe. And finally, Eric lays out his Top 5 reasons why WCW Nitro simply looked better than WWE Raw during the height of the Monday Night War.
