16. Vince McMahon Announces He's Bought WCW And Simulcasts Raw And Nitro
In what had been unimaginable just a year earlier, Vince McMahon was hosting both WWF Raw and WCW Nitro on the night of March 26th 2001. The Raw and Nitro broadcasts opened with McMahon talking about how he'd bought his competition. In full heel mode, he talked about how he now owned WCW and had the fate of the company in his hands. The shocking conclusion later that night was Shane McMahon coming out to the ring at Nitro, telling Vince that the name on the WCW contract was McMahon... Shane McMahon! Whether you were a WWF fan or WCW fan, the entire thing was sensationally surreal.
