History

Historical Context

In 1988 Ted Turner bought Jim Crockett Promotions and launched World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Under Eric Bischoff’s 1995 creation of Monday Nitro, WCW won the ratings battle for 83 consecutive weeks, sparking the Monday Night War with the WWF. On March 23 2001 Vince McMahon’s WWF purchased WCW’s assets for $2.5 million, ending the decade-long rivalry and shaping today’s cross-promotional landscape.
