    September 4 1995 a new era in wrestling began when wcw went head to head to compete with vince mcmahons WWF Raw.Erich bischoff had a part in it a big part helping ted turner to make wcw a success by poaching numerous wwf superstars.Erich bischoff had idea of getting wwf stars barging in on wcw matches shocking the fans into saying but but that wrestler is employed by wwf not knowing they have been released or contract is up etc.
    In 1996 wcw would take a straight 86 week lead against Raw.On the very first edition of Nitro, Lex Luger (who was working for the WWF without a contract) made a surprise appearance during the Ric Flair vs. Sting match and the program's main event between Hulk Hogan and Big Bubba Rogers.
    On Monday, August 9, 1999, during the main event of Nitro, Hulk Hogan did what many believed he would never do again. As Sting and Goldberg awaited Hogan, the classic American Made theme began playing. At first, many fans didn't know what to think and quietly stood up. A few seconds later, Hogan emerged in the classic red and yellow and the fans roared in approval as Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan screamed into their headsets "THE RED AND YELLOW'S BACK!" The team of Hogan, Goldberg, and Sting went on to defeat Kevin Nash, sid Vicious, and Rick Steiner when Sting made Nash tap out to the Scorpion Death Lock.

    The night of the very last nitro came march 26 2001 vince made a statement on raw of his purchase of wcw and simultaniousley shane went to wcw with vince not knowing that wcw was brought in shanes name.
    MONTHS LATER... blah blah wcw v wwf v ecw invasion storyline blah wwf wins (as you knew will any way vince always win).
    Now days erich bischoff works for vince and vince brought back ECW. End...
