Disclaimer: this is yet more 'Monday Night War' stuff on a service that's gone heavy on that since launch, and there will be those that aren't interested in the slightest. That's fine, but to anyone who lived through it this feature would be bloody tremendous.

Imagine sitting down to watch a specific episode of Raw Is War from back in 1998. Then, imagine getting to put WCW's Nitro from the same night on the same screen and having the choice of flipping back-and-forth between them like fans did between USA Network and TNT back then. The technology is there.

Sky Sports subscribers in the UK will know that they can pull up two different channels at the same time in split screen. The highlighted one plays sound, the other one doesn't until you switch over to it. That means viewers can keep tabs on two football matches (or other event) at the same time without losing track of what's happening elsewhere.

This would be a thrill for Raw and Nitro, and it'd make the ratings war between both more poignant to look back on. We'd be able to see precisely what each show was battling the other with at all times.
