Just like any other WWE documentary, talking heads play a key role in shaping the narrative for the viewer. Much unlike many other docs put together by the promotion, there's a real contrast between what's said between each person. It's quite the interesting dichotomy, most notably between Chris Jericho and Kevin Nash.

Both huge stars in the history of pro wrestling, Jericho and Nash experienced vastly different levels of success in WCW. The first time around, Nash didn't fare too well, but he returned a bigger name in 1996. After that, his name was golden in the promotion, and he rarely dipped below main event status.

By comparison, Jericho struggled to break the proverbial glass ceiling in the company, eventually leaving for the WWF in 1999. It's clear that the Canadian still resents his time in WCW somewhat, even if he has become good friends with Eric Bischoff in the years since.

Nash has a more relaxed view, but even Steve Austin can't resist claiming that he felt WCW had no chance when they launched Nitro to oppose Raw in 1995. It just shows how real the 'Monday Night War' battle was on both sides.
