Until this watch-a-long with Conrad, Eric Bischoff had never watched the final episode of WCW Monday Nitro. Join Conrad and Eric to go through this huge night in wrestling history, including talk about the sale to WWE, Scott Steiner, Booker T, Sting, Ric Flair, Brad Siegel, and so much more!

Poor Eric! That's a hell of a cough. Get well soon, buddy!
Did they not do a question and answer segment?
Bischoff is getting choked up about missing Nitro. Meanwhile, meet the man behind your favorite podcasts in a very special episode of Messier Mantra with guest CONRAD THOMPSON. Hey , hey! https://mikemessier.com/2018/07/04/something-to-mantra-with-conrad-thompson-on-messier-mantra/
man, Helms and Chavo job out to Omega 3 plug
Never knew that Joey Styles and Don Callis were going to be the announcers for the re-launch of WCW.
To this day, I still think the wrestling world would be in a much better place if Eric Bischoff and Fusient would have been able to pull out that deal. I think the intrigue around a new product – especially centered around a new look with new voices – would have gotten a buzz.
I disagree with Eric on one point. He acts like because he made friendships while at WWE it was all for the best. It most certainly was NOT for the best for fans or the wrestling industry, or the effort of the people who built WCW. I just shake my head. I enjoyed Nitro even in 2001. It should be noted WWF'S popularity was on a down turn at this point. My casual wrestlibg fan friends had basically tuned out of RAW. I had to turn it on at their place trying to see the WCW talent. I wish Eric and Ted Turner would take another crack at it.
I had no idea that new logo even said wCw. I thought it was a cool looking cross with World Championship Wrestling under it. Like the old Milwalkee Brewers logo but much worse :p
The night the monopoly was born, and the night sports entertainment tried to permanently kill pro wrestling
Booker T was great but he was awkwardly booked as a Rock knock off. He was fun to watch but I preferred Harlem Heat style Booker. 3 Count was hilarious and awesome btw!
The Vertebreaker was a sweet finisher.
