YOU WANT A WAR? WCW Nitro was invaded by “you who who he is” on May 27th, 1996. The man formerly known as Razor Ramon from WWF would show up unannounced through the crowd. Then took the microphone and cut a promo that would change pro wrestling forever. The future Scott Hall talked about a war he was going to start and that he was gonna have more surprise people showing up to WCW! He wanted a match vs 3 of WCW's best! This would eventually lead to Kevin Nash debuting, followed by Hulk Hogan turning heel and forming the nWo! Also, Macho Man has been deemed crazy as Ms. Elizabeth left him to join Ric Flair. They were spending all of his money and even set up a VIP table at ring side with champagne. Along with that, The WCW World Heavyweight Champion The Giant defends the title against The Shark!
