The Times They Are A-Changin'!
Manage episode 363885817 series 2970078
There is no mistaking that the WWF that kicks off 1996 is vastly different than the WWF that ended 1995. While Nitro continues to churn out dream match after dream match they also managed to wake up a sleeping giant as they finally got Vince McMahon's attention with all their antics.
This episode will focus on the key changes to WWF programming in January 1996 in response to the great product WCW has been producing since Nitro went on the air. Some key moments:
- The signing of Vader by WWF
- The introduction of The Ringmaster Steve Austin
- Goldust going into overdrive with his "androgynous" character
- The introduction of Billionaire Ted's Wrasslin' War Room
- Vince Russo's influence on the product
All while WCW continues to march out a lineup of hall of famers the 1927 New York Yankees would be in awe of! The war truly feels like it has started!
