On March 23rd, 2001, WWE acquired rival WCW, ending a near 20-year rivalry between the two companies. Three days later, the final Monday Nitro would air.
From the WCW buyout’s inner workings to what it felt like to be behind the curtain on that final Monday Nitro, those who were there speak.
"WCW was the worst organized company I had ever worked for. What everybody needs to understand is that Ted Turner stuck with wrestling because wrestling helped his company survive in the early days of cable television."
"What happened was that the superstars we created got bought off by Ted Turner. Ted buys things. He’s always been like that. He tried to buy the WWF on many occasions."
