The wcw that started the wrestling boom is really starting to take shape now. Great cruiserweights good tag teams, packed arenas and of course the nwo invasion really starting to heat up. All these elements blended together so well and it made wcw the best

[@charlesbaker7505]

The wrestling boom happened with hulk hogan in the 80s with hulkamania , WCW simply bought the boom and made it fresh

[@jjbjjb273]

@@charlesbaker7505 hulkamania ended in the late 80s early 90s what followed was a decline in popularity for wrestling. The nwo along with the attitude era and ecw started in my opinion the greatest period of wrestling ever. More people talk about the monday night wars than hulkamania

Fun fact: It would take WCW over a year to realise that "Ultimate Dragon" was a translation error.

[@Highly3666]

That's just ridiculous haha then again i wonder if Ultimo Dragon ever said anything 😂

When I used to have most of the Nitros from 1996 on VHS, I watched the Sting/Luger Outsiders main event probably over 100 times. I recorded over most of those Nitros later on (I have since recovered them all thankfully), but I made sure to keep the tape with this Nitro on it. This match is a HUGE part of my childhood.
