Monday Warfare: RAW vs. NITRO - Episode 06 (11/13 & 11/20/95)

Monday Warfare: RAW VS. NITRO Podcast

As we continue on in the Monday Night War saga, we're in the middle of November Sweeps! What does that mean for both promotions as they try and outdo one another while scoring those ever-important Ratings wins?

We take a look back at the go-home shows to both the 1995 Survivor Series and World War 3 PPVs. Plus, the dream match encounter of Hulk Hogan vs. Stiiiing. And in the middle of a hot match pitting Shawn Michaels vs. Owen Hart, Shawn collapses in the middle of the ring, and even the heels Owen Hart and Jerry Lawler look on concerned. Leaving everyone wondering if this was a masterful angle for its time, or if something really bad had just transpired.
