Back in the day classic wrestling! Back during the WCW/WWE (WWF) wrestling wars. The two companies battled for Professional wrestling supremacy. Big bucks, and big scripts! Nitro lead the way with a new wave of wrestling! Creative scripts with the N W O, Ravens Flock, Sting and company set a new tone! Nitro always had a major turning point or revenge match. I loved the spray point body imprint on the mat for the rest of the show after each N W O match! PURE CLASSIC. Hulk turned evil, Raven wined, and Sting became a new character. Tori the evil women tried to manipulate the wrestling world along with the Outsiders. Add the innovation of Raven's hard core matches, and Raven rules with folding metal chair in the middle of the ring made me laugh. The interviews, with Bishop, and other commentators just added the perfect spice. Loved how Big Kev would jump into the commentator desk and put that huge arm around the commentators an intimidate the booth. Pure Wrestling gold. Eight out of ten stars.

WCW World Championship Wrestling and their show Monday Nitro took on the WWF World Wrestling Federation and their show Monday Night Raw.The battle that was later would become known as The Monday Night War. Where WCW Monday Nitro and WWF Monday Night Raw went head to head on Monday nights to see would reign supreme in the world of Wrestling. Without question this was the greatest era of pro wrestling when you had two companies going head to head and given you the best they could to keep you watching.While I'll be honest I was loyal to the WWF during the war but I did see WCW Nitro from time to time.Nitro feature some of the best matches in the history of pro wrestling and also feature moments that has left a impact on Wrestling fans.Nitro was the kind of wrestling show where you had to tune in to see what would happen because what Nitro did was go live every week to compete with WWF.During the war both sides would bring everything and everyone they could to try and win the night. WCW feature many great wrestlers like Diamond Dallas Page, Goldberg, Booker T, Sting, the NWO, Ric Flair, many more that help made WCW a champion in the ratings Whenever you tune into Nitro it was going to be something you'll never forget because even today fans will talk about all the matches from Nitro that WCW gave to the fans matches that are rank as some of the best in pro wrestling history. When you can find a collection of WCW Nitro footage and watch to see how well WCW did to take on the WWF .

Being a huge wrestling fan for over a decade I always loved WCW.I never missed a Nitro.I liked them even more than the WWF(WWE).I loved their special events and yes even the gimmicks some of the wrestlers had over the decade.Through out the years WCW really put on a show especially the early 90s and in 1995.When Vince Russo came along in 2000 I believe it changed but then it was back on track a while later.My favorite era was in 1995 when the Dungeon of Doom was around.I don't know I just loved WCW and I could go on and on. I am really sad that WCW is no more.I loved the WWF but over last few years its been so disappointing to Me and I am so sad that I can't watch a live WCW show any more.If you love wrestling and never got to see WCW at their best during 1985 thru 1996 and are able to watch Nitros and other wrestling matches on tapes then please do so because I think you'll like it better than today's WWE.

First I have to say that the first idiot who wrote a comment about the show, probably never watched a show in his life!!!"I watch it between Ally Mcbeal". lol. No.If you were watching Nitro chances are, you werent watching anything else.Eric Bishoff , the genius, got all the ex wrestlers that were screwed by Vince McMahon in the WWF: Hulk Hogan, Bret "Hitman" Hart, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Roddy Piper, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and breathed new life into these Legendary wrestlers.WCW in fact beat WWF in the ratings from 1999-2000, after that fiasco with Owen Hart, in which he died live on Pay Per View. Bret Hit lifted Nitro into new realms.
Eventually, McMahon gave in and bought WCW and the company in 2001, which was bad because we would never see wrestlers like Sting wrestle in the WWF, we would never rerun matches from WCW from guys like Bret Hart. Thankfully, though I myself have the last matches of these great wrestlers.Again, the first idiot probably never watched the show. It was great 10 out 10.
