Back in ye olde halcyon days of ye olde 'Monday Night Wars', Madusa famously dropped the WWF Women's belt into a trash can on WCW Nitro. For July's Raw Reunion, WWE wanted to relive that incident by having her do the same with their 24/7 Title at the announce desk. This was something that worried the trailblazing female.

She wasn't convinced fans would remember her big moment.

Madusa told Wrestling Inc how Vince McMahon put her mind at ease before the show by telling her fans young and old would take something from her appearance. Vinnie Mac's logic was that older viewers would recall Nitro firsthand and younger ones would fire up YouTube to see what the announcers were referencing from 1995.

That'd not only give WWE another comedy segment for the Reunion, but it'd also cause a sudden surge in views on the promotion's YouTube channel. That's... pretty damn smart, and shows how important the video site is to McMahon.
