The late 90s were the most competitive era in professional wrestling history.
Every Monday night, fans had to choose between two shows airing at the exact same time: WCW Monday Nitro and WWE Raw.
This battle became known as The Monday Night War, and it completely changed the wrestling industry.
In this episode of the Cheap Pop Society Podcast, we break down the full story behind the war between WCW and WWE.
We dive into:
• How WCW shocked the wrestling world with the debut of the New World Order
• Why the heel turn of Hulk Hogan changed wrestling forever
• The rise of Attitude Era megastars like Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock
• The moment Mick Foley winning the WWF Championship shifted the entire war
• And the shocking end when WWE ultimately bought WCW
We also ask the controversial question:
Did WWE really win the Monday Night War… or did wrestling fans lose when WCW disappeared?
If you grew up watching wrestling in the 90s, this episode is a deep dive into one of the greatest eras the business has ever seen.
