I watched Nitro then the Raw rerun at 1am usually, only because Nitro/Thunder were only shown the once.

I watched Nitro from 7-9 then turned to WWF for Raw is War? or Warzone?? Final hour was always the best... Now it seems like the first segment is great, then u have to wait til the final event.

Damn I miss the Attitude Era.

I used to tape RAW and watch Nitro until probably the beginning of 1999 then I started watching RAW exclusively and switched channels to Nitro every now and then. I became largely uninterested in WCW after the finger poke of doom and the shit storm of bad angles that followed it.

I watched the first hour of Nitro, then I stayed on Raw the whole time. Maybe if I wasn't dead tired, I'd catch some of the Nitro replay.

Normally I watched Nitro and flipped to Raw during the commercial breaks then flipped back unless something interesting was going on.

I did the same for Impact the 2 or 3 weeks it was on Monday nights.

Other: Depends. I would switch between the two with friends over because my friends into wrestling had serious ADHD, I would tape one and watch the other, or if there was a program I wanted to watch later I'd watch Raw then catch the replay.

That wasn't universally true, was it? I know some Canucks who were watching it realtime.

And this was hardly the says of Justin.TV and streaming as a household name.

I flipped back and forth. In 95-96 i watched mostly Nitro but from 97 and on I would watch mostly RAW and hardly any Nitro. I have all the Monday night shows from the 90s on DVD now though so life is good...

I too flipped back and forth between the two, since I didn't really have a personal preference back then.

If memory serves me correctly, I recall one time watching Raw in which an opponent was hit with a lariat, then rebounded and countered with a power slam. I then switched it to Nitro and saw the exact same sequence. I don't recall who the wrestlers were, but I do remember thinking "What the Hell did I just see?"

It wasn't really that big of a deal, but since I was young at the time it became one of my fondest memories of the Monday Night Wars.

I never did watch WCW that much, I always tuned in to WWF RAW, I rarely missed an episode of it. I did however catch WCW Thunder from time to time. I was a huge WWF fan and just couldnt get enough of it really.
