I remember there was a wrestling hotline that you had to call to get dirtsheet info.
What it looked like switching from WCW Nitro to Monday Night Raw at the top of the hour during the Attitude Era.

Probably wouldn't have been that interesting and I seriously doubt wrestling would have had that explosion unless both companies were forced to innovate the way they were. Back then tv shows actually completed.We praise the Monday Night Wars but in retrospect, it was stupid as fukk for Raw and Nitro to be on at the same exact time
Nitro should have been on Tuesday or Wednesday night

It used to be better.
We had it good in Alaska, TNT aired nitro live at 4pm our time but Raw was on tape delay so it started at 7, so we were able to watch all of both shows, most weeks with 10+ friends and tons of weed being smoked the entire time. I was born in 82 so was the perfect age for the attitude era, good shyt that will never be replicated.

Nitro used to replay back to back so if you missed the 2nd hour, you could go back and watch after Raw was over

Y’all lucky to have that
I had to settle for Raw and Impact for 8 weeks
Switching from Raw to Impact to see Orlando Jordan commit acts that would put him on Harlem’s do not allow entry list was a strange time

Tuning in at 8:00 to see Booker T walk out for the first time as WCW champion
That shyt was CLUTCH for a young breh in the summer. Catch the first hour of Nitro, flip back and forth for the last two, and then hit up the replay of Nitro to see what all was missed.
That also speaks to how insane ratings were back then. The fact that at a time when TNT was probably at its peak, the best late night option for them was to replay a show that had just ended at most an hour or so earlier (if they aired some shyt like the Mortal Kombat show, or Robin Hood), not even edited for time. That's crazy.

I didn't start watching until 1999 and WCW had already fallen off by then. Only WCW programming I ever remember watching was an episode of Thunder when Ernest Miller was the GM or whatever, and then whatever Nitro in 2000 had the Tower of Doom cage match.
