Now that the WWE Network features every episode of WCW Monday Nitro from their debut to the end of 1996, a new generation of fans are looking to see what the big deal about the WWF's main competition was. They've heard so much about WCW, and have probably seen many of the company's matches on DVD compilations, YouTube, and many other places. This is their chance to watch things unfold as they happened, and to get a new take on things. If you're looking at WCW, you have to look at the nWo. They go hand-in-hand, and the time frame of Nitro on the Network means you get to watch the group from their very first formation, all the way through their first few white hot months. It's a great education on what could have, and damn well should have, been the game-changing story in wrestling history. The nWo should have been what helped carry WCW to victory in the Monday Night War. Of course, we all know how that ended up, but for the time being, this is still some all-time great wrestling television, flashing back to a time when fans absolutely had to tune in and watch every week. This article will be looking at the top ten nWo moments that happened on Nitro in 1996. Nothing here happened on pay-per-view or anywhere else, but it all happened on Monday nights, which made Nitro the go-to wrestling show to watch for so long.
