- World_Championship_Wrestling abstract "World Championship Wrestling, Inc. (WCW) was an American professional wrestling promotion company based in Atlanta, Georgia. It began as a regional (mid-Atlantic U.S.), National Wrestling Alliance (NWA)-affiliated "territory" promotion -- Jim Crockett Promotions -- until November 1988, when Ted Turner (through his Turner Broadcasting System business) bought the promotion, whose struggle to compete with Vince McMahon's WWE (then called the World Wrestling Federation [WWF]) had left it near bankruptcy. Immediately after the buyout, the promotion was renamed the Universal Wrestling Corporation (UWC) and consisted of Crockett's business assets; however, it was soon renamed again: World Championship Wrestling (the title of the promotion's weekly TV series, which had aired on TBS for many years prior). In the mid-1990s, WCW dramatically improved its economic performance, largely due to: the promotion of Eric Bischoff to Executive Producer (to guide the overall direction of the on-screen product); the strategy of quickly hiring former WWF main eventers who often brought large, loyal, TV-watching fanbases with them; the introduction of the Monday Nitro series on cable TV, and, the resultant Monday Night Wars with the WWF's Monday Night Raw; the phenomenally successful creative and marketing execution of the New World Order (nWo) brand/stable of wrestlers; creating "cruiserweight" wrestling (an acrobatic, faster-paced, lucha libre-inspired style of wrestling that most U.S. wrestling fans had never seen before); and, other innovative concepts. WCW eclipsed the WWF in popularity throughout the United States for much of the latter-1990s. However, numerous financial and creative missteps led to the company losing its meteoric lead over the WWF almost as quickly as it had gained it. Turner (and later, Time Warner) owned WCW until 2001, when selected assets were purchased by the WWF. Since 2001, WCW images and video footage have been widely distributed in WWE-owned media.Two separate subsidiary companies exist as successors to WCW. WCW, Inc. is the WWE subsidiary established in Delaware in late-2000, initially as W. Acquisition Company, which holds the rights to the WCW video library and other intellectual property. The former WCW entity, which retained certain liabilities (e.g., certain past performers' substantial guaranteed contracts) not acquired by WWE, was renamed the Universal Wrestling Corporation; as of 2014, it was still registered as an active Georgia-domiciled subsidiary of Time Warner.".
