Seldom does one person affect an entire industry the way Eric Bischoff has. When Ted Turner owned World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in the early ‘90s he had a few different old-school bookers in charge like Ole Anderson and Bill Watts. But when Turner changed things up and tapped a third-string announcer with a sales background as the new executive in charge of WCW, everything changed for the Atlanta-based promotion. Bischoff's first major move was asking for a primetime spot to go head-to-head with the World Wrestling Federation (today's WWE). That was unheard of in the industry and quickly Monday Night Nitro was started on TNT. And the “Monday Night Wars” were underway.

Guerrero, Wright, Regal, Arn, and Flair are great. Hogan is back though.... and Si & Danny are not amused by his actions! FOLLOW US! @SJPWORLDMEDIA @NITRO_NIGHTS @ScottishJuggalo @SJPWORDS
HAPPY NEW YEAR! or happy 1996? or something..... We have a new World Champion, but also Hogan is back. But the show also features Lex, Sting, Flair, Arn, and Randy! plus The Super Assassins. So, there's that we guess?? FOLLOW US! @NITRO_NIGHTS @ScottishDanny @SJPWORDS
Merry (1995) Christmas! Starrcade is 2 days away, the New Japan/WCW World Cup is nearly upon us, plus we have a Wrestlemania Main event rematch!!!! God Bless us, Everyone! FOLLOW US! @NITRO_NIGHTS @SJPWORDS @ScottishJuggalo
Flair V Guerrero, Giant V Savage, and a rare Bobby Eaton sighting! Si and Danny are looking forward to Starrcade 1995 totally forgetting there is an additional cheeky Nitro next week! Could be worse. The dark match on this show was The Zodiak V Disco Inferno. Yuck. Follow Us! @NITRO_NIGHTS @SJPWORDS @ScottishJuggalo
Mean Gene is a teleporter! Plus a show with Disco Inferno, a dated Orndorff, Jim Duggan, and some Hogan nonsense is maybe the best Nitro yet??? Surely not? FOLLOW US! @NITRO_NIGHTS @SJPWORDS @ScottishJuggalo
A World Title match main event, apparently the Sherri/Parker stuff is still a thing? Sting is awesome and the lads get hyped for Starrcade!
Si and Scottish Danny survey the fall out from World War 3. A new World Champion! But it doesn't feel like it. Hogan is a dick, Sullivan is small, and what the hell is going on with Luger & Sting???
