What it looked like switching from WCW Nitro to Monday Night Raw at the top of the hour during the Attitude Era.

[The G.O.D II]

I wouldn’t even bother with Nitro once Raw was on. Just catch up on 411 mania afterwards

shyt, thinking about PPVs costing $30 and not being able to convince your folks to do it. But then we got that black box, channel 67

Being one of the only ones that could watch the PPV and recapping it for everyone the next day in class

I remember telling people that Owen Hart died, cats were

And if you could convince them, having to choose which one to buy.

I remember both WWF and WCW was coming to the LA area in 2000. I remember asking my mom if we could go …Guess who chose to go to WCW Thunder instead just so I can see my favorite wrestler sting get hit with a guitar by Jeff Jarrett

Yea once Raw came on it was a wrap.

Nitro was just the appetizer

Back in the days when fans didn’t bytch as much as today.

In Long Beach, right? That was a great night for me because I met a shytload of wrasslers in the parking lot. Crazy how most of them weren’t given private parking like the usual routine; dudes were just parked close to the arena with the fans.

We went through this era without the benefit of social media/YouTube & streaming, which meant that if you missed a match or segment, you truly felt you had missed out. Nothing was more annoying than going to school or work the next day while everyone was hype talking about the big moment you didn't see. Your only hope was a 10 second rerun of the climax of the segment when the show returned from commercial, or a grainy, 30 second 140p video from WCW/WWF.com.




The NWO would be in the ring and you knew Sting would end up involved somehow, while over on RAW, DX was about to have a promo when they returned from commercial and you knew The Rock or Austin were going to make their presence known during it. You had to choose between Rey vs Juvie vs Kidman for the Cruiserweight title or Jericho vs Benoit for the IC title. Watching wrestling back then was almost stressful.

What a time.

here in canada we got raw live but not nitro, had to wait for tuesday at 4pm for nitro

I remember having to read recaps on wrestlezone and ish

Yeah exactly at the Long Beach sports arena. That’s cool. Who did you meet?

Notable names were Rey, Konnan, Shane Douglas, Chris Daniels (when he was still on the indies), Sean O’Haire.

WCW never recovered...worked themselves into a gotdamn shoot

shyt WCW was known for doing shyt like that even on their b shows.,..showing past footage of then top stars in WWE when they were in WCW getting treated on some jobber/jobber to the stars type shyt...i remember a random moment watching wcw saturday night they showed footage of lex luger pinning undertaker when he was mean mark after a clothesline...petty as fukk

 

[RammerJammer]

Y’all lucky to have that

I had to settle for Raw and Impact for 8 weeks

 

[Tj Bronson]

Anyone else out on the west coast watch Nitro from 5-7 and then catch Raw from 9-11? We never missed an episode of either out here

 

[StatUS]

Bad example for WCW. I wasn't even tuning in at 8 by then
