While things were on the steep decline in 1998 for WCW, Vince McMahon and the WWE continued to grow. Then on April 13, 1998 something happened that shook the Monday Night Wars: Raw beat Nitro in the ratings for the first time in 83 weeks. Things were never the same, again.
The main reason was the angle between Stone Cold Steve Austin and McMahon. But this edition of Raw had plenty of other moments and Superstars such as DX, the Rock, The Undertaker, Kane, the New Midnight Express, Sable and plenty more.
We once again revisit an historic moment in professional wrestling. You can watch along with us by going to Monday Night Raw, Season Six, Episode 15 on Peacock.

Episode 383: WWF Primetime Wrestling 05.15.89

On this episode of What Happened When, Tony and Conrad hand the reigns over to our WHWMonday Patreon members for two wild watch along. We will take you back almost 20 years ago to IWA Mid-South Wrestling with an eight-man tag that is just a lot of fun. The idea comes from LKBH Doug Ritter of LaVergne, Tennessee who wrote: “…It was a match from IWA Mid-South from 2004 featuring several wrestlers that have appeared in AEW. I was at this show and this match is so much fun…” This one is a blast on many levels with wrestlers (and a referee) that you have been seeing on AEW for quite a while. Let’s enjoy, Chris Candido, Steve Stone, Nigel McGuiness and Claudio Castagnoli against Danny Daniels, Ace Steel, CM Punk and Matt Sydalfrom October of 2004. NOTE: To watch along go to this link on YouTube: youtu.be/7yKS-piFgqE
In 2011 in Illinois, JCW brought back an incredible number of stars for a night to honor legends. And although the wrestling was not good, it was a pretty entertaining night. Our buddy, DJ Turn-up from the Atlanta area told us he wanted us to watch it, because he likes when Tony and Conrad shit on the bad stuff. Well, it's really hard to shit on this. So join us as we watch, Terry Funk, Roddy Piper, Hall and Nash, X-Pac, Ken Patera, Mick Foley, Bob Backlund, Bob Orton, Dutch Mantel and others in action.
