The original "It's the greatest night in the history of our sport Brain!" It would then be that every week lol. Fun memories.

If you only watched the first episode and the last episode, you would never guess how much they changed pop culture in the late 90s.

I watched Nitro religiously ever day for almost a year, in the NWO era. Was a good run for sure.

I remember how it turned random Monday nights into a thing. Was great.

The Monday Night Wars (WCW vs WWF) was so popular it was beating Monday Night Football in ratings for a while.

This guy's return was a shocker. Nobody knew Lex was going to be there. I believe he wrestled with WWF the night before.

Flipping between Raw and Nitro as a kid in the 90's was beyond epic

Our whole suite watched it. We'd have RAW on in one room and Nitro on in the other. Then we'd flip for the replays. Great memories.

I went to the third show ever in Johnson City, TN.

Flair and Brian Pillman in the main event. The dark match was Eddie Guerrero versus Dean Malenko. Great times.

Let's not forget about that adjective "play".

Ran in to Kevin Nash awhile back in a Gold’s Gym in Orlando. Rather large human.

A lot of people don't realize just how close Bischoff/WCW came to putting Vince out of business. If Vince hadn't come up with DX to counter the NWO and thus, the Attitude Era, it likely would have happened
