Arn Anderson signed with AEW last year, and is currently a personal advisor to Cody and the head coach of the Nightmare Family.
In a recent episode of his podcast, Arn Anderson spoke about the last days of WCW before the promotion’s eventual downfall. Anderson compared the promotion to a fire that would not be put out in time.
He also spoke about his personal feelings around that time, revealing that it was a depressing time when he saw the effect the death of WCW had on the wrestling industry.
The downfall of WCW in 2001
Fusion Media Ventures, who were working with Eric Bischoff, made a bid to buy WCW in January 2001, but the bid fell through after the AOL/Time Warner merger because of the lack of a TV deal.
WCW ended up being bought by WWE in March 2001. Following the purchase of WCW, we saw the Invasion angle, which also included ECW, who had also been bought by WWE and Vince McMahon.
