This took place just 5 days before the PlayStation 1 launched in America.

Goodbye free time. Hello WCW!

Day 1 on the WCW YouTube Channel. After all these years, Nitro is still my favorite wrestling show of all time.

WCW was the promotion that hooked me on professional wrestling back when I was a kid. Love that this new YouTube channel exists!

The most important upload in the history of our sport, WCW Monday Nitro!

Damn... Who knows 2 years later Flyin' Brian would pass away due to a heart attack... He was already at the peak of his career...

The Pillman Liger match was ahead of its time.

12:08 "WHO IS THE GREATEST WRESTLER IN THE WORLD?"
"Macho Man!"
"Frick you Brother! Hey! Hey! Take away his side bread!"

So much potential with this channel. Hire somebody to interview legends about their time in WCW too!

@terrysnow5326 1 year ago

Hell yeah. A whole channel dedicated to just WCW. Yes please.

Don't thank WWE. Thank WCW for existing in the first place.

It's 1995 & WCW is debuting Monday Nitro in a shopping mall, it doesn't get any better then that, BTW this is where the big boyz play.

Pastamania is almost certainly one of the key reasons they did the first Nitro in the Mall of America, but I won't deny it gave the episode an ironic and unique feel.

Seeing Lex Luger in WCW just after a week he was involved in the WWF Summerslam main event between Diesel vs Mabel made your jaw drop.

Heenan and Mongo passive aggressively digging into each other throughout has me dying

WCW aired on iTV Kyeong-In Broadcasting in Incheon, South Korea from 1999 to 2001. It was a very entertaining pro wrestling show, and unfortunately there was almost no way to watch it again. Now that there is a YouTube channel, I am very grateful that it can be watched like this :) I wish there were Korean subtitles too.
