ur Horsemen Network: ARN & Straight Talk With The Boss ARN #259: The Nitro Era Begins (September 1995)
WCW shook up wrestling when Ted Turner gave Eric Bischoff the green light to go head-to-head with WWF. Monday Nitro debuted on Sept 4, 1995, unopposed, launching the Monday Night Wars.
📍 Key Moments:
✔ WCW Goes Live – No more studio tapings.
✔ Mall of America Debut – Unique venue, bold start.
✔ Brian Pillman vs. Jushin Liger – A fast-paced opener.
✔ Lex Luger Shocks the World – Jumps from WWF overnight!
✔ Hogan vs. Big Bubba & Luger’s Challenge – Huge Week 2 cliffhanger.
🎙️ Arn’s Take:
Was Bischoff the right guy for Nitro?
How did live TV change WCW?
Nitro vs. WCW Saturday Night – Which was better?
Did Nitro’s shocks & surprises give it an edge over WWF?
🔥 Building to Fall Brawl 1995:
• Hogan’s Team vs. Dungeon of Doom – Did fans buy it?
• Luger’s Loyalty – With Hogan or against him?
• First Nitro Title Change – American Males beat Harlem Heat!
💥 The Four Horsemen Reunite
