I did a combination of the two. Initially, I could only watch RAW with very few exceptions (like the first Nitro that they held in that mall). Honestly, for a long time, I forgot it was on, and when I did remember Nitro (or when WWF went on Dog Show hiatus or something similar) WCW would be airing angles such as that shit about Hogan and Woman's shoe or whatever the fuck. Didnt hold my interest. So, color me suprised when I found out not that much later Hogan turned heel, an "announcer" was behind it, and watched a vignette of "Easy E" issuing that 30 day "with us or against us" nWo ultimatum.

It wasn't until much later I even learned there was a replay, and that was because of a job I had.

I began to tape RAW, as I was usually at work, and watch the Nitro replay which started about 30 min after I got home (in spite of my choice above, out of neccessity). On any night where I actually didn't have to work monday night, I watched RAW and the Nitro replay.

Then, I had the bright idea to just tape them both and watch them at my leisure, even if I worked or not. This usually meant I started watching RAW until about the main event portion of the show, then drifted off to sleep secure in the knowledge I could see what happened tomorrow.

I just wish I had known exactly when Hardcore TV aired. It seemed to jump timeslots. Yeah, it wasn't part of the question, but I would have had an extensive (yet poorly recorded, as I used SLP to make sure I caught show entirities of RAW and Nitro, including possible overruns) video collection of ECW. I always caught it by accident, and it never seemed to be on the same time every week.
