Would WCW still be around...
 

If they didn't air nitro on Monday?

No, because no matter what day of the week it was on, the poor business decisions would still have happened.

If every single guy worked for the company for free for a year, they still would have had over $80 million losses.

Apparently the reason Paul Heyman waited so late to close ECW after the ECW going to USA network deal was because he was convinced Ted Turner was going to fold WCW and he thought they would still want wrestling programming.

Would this have been from the start, or moved later on?

Because from the start I seriously doubt Nitro would have lasted past 1999 if it wasn't on Mondays.

Then again, it was Turner's own network, so...

Nitro was still in the top 3 highest rated cable shows before it finished.

No.

Could it have made it that far if it wasn't going head-to-head with RAW though?

Yeah is the changed night right before WWE started beating them in the ratings war
