Hello there,
So since I recently began the Retro TNA Review Thread, I've been thinking, and I've been watching a lot of retro weekly wrestling lately, and I think I'd like to do more retro reviews. What better way to continue than by celebrating the 30th anniversary of WCW Monday Nitro. Nitro began on September 4, 1995 and ran until March 2001. During this time, WCW Saturday Night was still a thing and I will even try to review that, as well as (and God help me) Thunder, once it debuts in 1997. This review will include every WCW pay-per-view.
Because I'm thinking about doing other weekly reviews, my plan is to stick with the weekly episodic format by watching each show once per week and following along with the actual timeline sequence. That means it will take me years to see this through. Of course, you never know what can happen or change within the next 5 1/2 years, but I'm willing to give it a shot.
I know there's a Nitro watchalong thread with a Discord chat, and I'm going to look into joining that, as well as inviting everyone involved to watch these episodes along with me and take part in fun discussion.
I was born in 1994 and my dad was a WCW fan. I vividly remember watching Nitro and Thunder in the 1998/1999 era and I'm very nostalgic about it. However, I also think most of WCW absolutely sucks. That means I will have fun talking about the ridiculousness of it. It will be opinionated, I will shit on some things, and I will boast about the things I like. But with that being said, I will start preparing for this journey by watching the first Nitro and Saturday Night, will have both posted on Monday, and we will see how it goes!
