QuoteKlucsaritis was under contract with WWE from March 2001 to February 2004, and won the United States Championship from Booker T during this time, in July of 2001.

Way after I followed wrestling.

I stopped following it when it started into the Attitude Era. Which was gay. A friend of mine, however, lives the dream and runs:

You used to follow WCW, right? I read the other day that a disproportionally high number of former WCW wrestlers died before turning 50, way more than in the old school WWF of the 80s and 90s.

I followed both somewhat equally. WCW in early 90s had great talent but suffered a lot from bad booking/writing.

He was in WCW for quite a while before the listed WWE stint.  Chris "Champagne" Kanyon was pals with DDP and formed a stable with DDP and Bam Bam Bigelow for a while.

I remember viewing WCW as nothing more than a poor man's WWF.
Which to look at its place on TV it really was.
