The WCW versus WWF Monday Night Wars were an amazing time to be a wrestling fan. Both Eric Bischoff and Vince McMahon were constantly trying to get the upper hand on each other. The winner was usually the viewer, benefiting from WCW and WWF trying to put on the best product possible. The wrestlers also benefited.
