Last Nitro...
I'm not 100% sure when Nitro went on air that night (8 or 9), so I'm wondering if the promo that aired on RAW (below) was the same one that opened Nitro? Or was there another promo that opened the final Nitro?
I can't find any video of it from the Nitro side. Only video I can find starts after the opening with the Flair promo. Here's the promo from RAW's side: Also, were there any Nitro-exclusive Vince McMahon segments on the show? ![]() |

No exclusive McMahon segments.
god, I thought I remembered, but now am having 2nd thoughts. I wanna say Vince opened Nitro with a promo from another location (Raw) I believe Nitro started at 8, but I don't remember if it was a one or two hour show. |

oh you know what, yes, Vince did appear throughout the show a couple segments. It was just him making fun of WCW from what I remember

So I just looked up the results and it seems that Vince opened Nitro from the RAW stage.
It was a two hour show for sure, and the simulcast ended Nitro, so it started at 8. |

I don't know if any of you remember, but Tony Schiavone got pretty angry on air at William Regal during the show for bashing WCW during one of the WWE cutaway segments. It was pretty funny. I think the entire last Nitro is on Youtube in parts.

Yes, it started with Vince on the screen saying he had bought the competition.

I'm kind of interested in how much information was out as well. I wasn't really one of those IWC guys at the time. I seem to remember reading somewhere, probably TPWW, the day of that Nitro about Vince buying WCW. I don't remember any info about it before that.

I can't believe how much potential the whole angle had from that Vince/Shane promo.

I was a freshman in high school, and didn't really read much internet news back then, so I actually found out that monday night on Raw. It was pretty shocking and exciting

I actually remember it going down on TPWW in the wrestling forum. Back then you had your diehard WCW fans (Outsider

must of been a hell of a party at titan towers
i bet the booking team must have went crazy with the amount of things they can do then of course, they fucked it up. I always believed wcw should of ran as another company with their own ppvs etc. Then have the ones like mania and starcade be cross promotion events. So much potential..all wasted. |
