Image:Original-nWo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 05:45, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't this article be merged with World Championship Wrestling? Lex94 Talk Contributions Guest Book 20:09, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
After reading through the article and comparing it closely to WP:WIAGA, I have come to the conclusion that it does not meet the requirements needed for a good article. The following problems all need correction before this will be GA standard:
Otherwise, the article does appear stable, neutral (other than some of the section titles, see above), and uses images appropriately. However, the writing, organization, and referencing problems are so many that it does not appear that this article is close to GA status at this point. If the above problems can be fixed, please feel free to renominate this article. If you feel this review was handled inappropriately, please ask for remediation at WP:GA/R. If you have any other questions or need help, just ask at my talk page. -- Jayron32| talk| contribs 04:10, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Georgia Championship Wrestling could be seen as "going national" before the WWF. GCW was on cable in the 1970s. It changed its main titles (Georgia Heavyweight & Georgia Tag Team) to National Heavyweight and National Tag Team titles in 1980. It rebranded the TV show to World Championship Wrestling in 1982. It started promoting in places like Michigan and Ohio. All of this was done while the WWF remained in the northeast (and eastern Ohio), and still under Vincent James McMahon (Vince Sr.) For these reasons, I don't think its accurate to state it changed the name to compete with the WWF, GCW (or its stockholders and Ted Turner) had its own, independent desires to grow nationally.

This article is written like a retrospective from one particular viewpoint, rather than a non-bias, neutral piece explaining the history of World Championship Wrestling. Unless news articles and reviews are being quoted and cited, there's no justification for it. Let people form their own opinions. MarcoPolo250 ( talk) 14:21, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
This section needs a different name as it actually covers the years 1988-1993 post-Turner buyout, pre-Bischoff hiring. Romomusicfan ( talk) 11:35, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
As you can see by this Talk page alone, this article has a serious problem with its tone. The lack of neutrality and the flagrant bias with no cited works to back up said unwarranted opinion is obvious. Stop ignoring the issue and do something about it. Wikipedia is not your personal blog. Thecleanerand ( talk) 19:06, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
