18. Monday Night War - The Rise Of NWO (August 26th, 2014)
The most recent documentary series rehashing the story that's been told from every possible angle, The Monday Night War took viewers back to the biggest boom period the business ever enjoyed to give them a "new" perspective from those within WWE and WCW during the hotly contested rivalry. The series was one of the most heavily hyped additions to the network, yet was widely regarded as a disappointment due to the fact that it provided very little new insight. This particular episode focused on the hottest faction to ever descend upon sports entertainment, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and The New World Order. It wasn't anything we haven't seen in The Rise and Fall of WCW, The Monday Night War DVD, the multiple nWo releases or a thousand different shoot interviews, podcasts and books, but viewers tuned in because nostalgia is a powerful drug. The time period when the nWo was wreaking havoc in WCW is one of the most fondly remembered eras for any fan who was watching during the late 1990s and it never hurts to revisit happier times.
