BlackBalled: jeff jarret, Vince russo, and Ed Ferra have all been universally blackballed from the industry, no promotion in the world wants them. most of the wcw roster are pissed at what they did the company. and wwf aren't happy with how they left the world wrestling federation to join wcw in the first place.

 

Jeff jarret, while not fully at fault with all thats happened to wcw. He has suffered the same punishment, due to association.

 

A Franchise players future in question: Wcw Icon sting is rumored to be in talks with everyone now that wcws future is in question with the constant changes in the company and the fact that his wcw contract expires this month. Hogan and vince have been trying to sign him as hes a big time player in the industry. Its been rumored that njpw and ajpw are also interested in sting as well.
