WWE acquired WCW in March of 2001. Due to the Attitude Era in the WWE (Esp. Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock etc gaining great popularity), the ratings and viewership of WCW consistently came down in comparison to WWE. When WCW was considering acquisition, Vince McMahon was able to strike a deal and buy WCW.
