The mid to late 90's-professional wrestling,
nu metal, rap rock, and pop culture t-shirts ruled the roost.
Hot Topic was a new store, rave music was just catching on and
every Monday in America, someone, somewhere was having a Nitro
Party! With stars like Bill Goldberg, Hollywood Hogan, Randy
Savage, Sting, and the Cruiserweights, World Championship
Wrestling set the world on fire with their prime time answer to
Vince McMahon's Monday Night Raw. Featuring Cutting Edge
Graphics, Hot Music, even Hotter Nitro Girls, the high flyers
and bruising brawlers of Ted Turner and Co.'s WCW overtook the
World Wrestling Federation and became the top dog of wrestling.
But all good things must come to an end. After the merger of
AOL/Time Warner and a combination of mismanagement of funds and
talent, WCW began to slip in the ratings. With a director of
programming that may or may not have had previous ties with the
McMahon Empire, Brad Seigel, TNT cancelled WCW Nitro and with
that cancellation the hope that Nitro could turn things around.
Here it is though fans, in it's entirety, the final and complete
WCW Monday Nitro. Featuring the stars you know and love, and the
infamous VKM Speech. What could have been the greatest angle in
wrestling history was squandered due to ego, but at least we
have our memories. |
