there's also a racial component to this...all the black kids at my school were into Raw. You had Ahmed Johnson, the nation of domination, The Rock (even when he was rocky maivia)
Even tho wcw had the luchadors, nitro was so whitewashed and southern. Next to no black stars or featured black performers. Once the NWO started to slip, it was hard to identify with a product that was always co-promoting with some nascar hicks, and country music stars. Thats what made that no limit sht so awful in '99.
I was a huge wrestling fan, so I was into both shows, but for a lot of my boys, Nitro was honky wrestling.
