Vince Russo's 10 Biggest “What If” Moments In WWE History

4. What If Lex Luger Would Have Never Showed Up On The First Nitro?

What if that first shot was never fired with Lex Luger living the WWE a week prior, and then showing up on that very first episode of NITRO. Would there ever have even been a Monday Night War? All the credit here has to go to Easy E. Eric Bischoff. He NO DOUBT set the tone for the biggest match in the history of the wrestling business WCW vs. WWE. With that first Luger missile fired, as they would say---the !@#$% WAS ON!!! But...what would have happened if Eric hadn€™t taken that first course of action? What if he would have just conducted WCW on his watch as business as usual? The answer is real simple---there never would have been a Monday Night War, the NOW, the Attitude Era and the BEST DAMN TIME that the sports-entertainment business had ever seen. Thank you, Eric!
