No way man!

Were you in Vegas back when they had the WCW Nitro Grill at Excalibur? They had old PPV's on the big screens and a big wrestling ring set up in the middle of the place... It was neat, but cheesy as all hell!

BTW... THIS was the hallmark nWo moment:

Beating the Macho Man... again

I think I remember it, but not live

There was a Justin.Tv WCW channel that played intros 24/7 and I watched it at work all the time

Single biggest heart stopping moment was Stings entrance at Starcade '97

2nd biggest was Goldberg beating Hogan IN Atlanta for the heavyweight title

I wasn't living in Vegas at the time, but I remember coming on a trip for Spring Break and we went to it. Place was huge and it was pretty cheesy haha. I actually think it closed that same year.

My sundays consisted of church, eating maw-maw's sunday lunch and watching mid-South Wrestling. Times were simple back then.

Mid South came on at 10 AM on Sunday morning in Cenla. The church had a TV in the fellowship hall. I would skip Sunday School and sneak in there and watch wrestling.

No doubt... I still get goosebumps when I hear "Another One Bites the Dust." I'll always associate that song with JYD!

Every now and then, I'll pull out the Nintendo 64 and play wcw-nwo revenge. That game was so fricking epic. It completely captured the greatness that was late -90s WCW

I was in 4th grade when the WWF came to Baton Rouge. I got one of those programs full of girls in underwear and brought it to school. Had detention for two weeks straight.
