The WWF had been the most popular weekly wrestling television show in America since it's debut in 1993. In 1995, World Championship Wrestling and Eric Bischoff brought a new Monday Night wrestling show to television screens that would compete directly with Vince McMahon, The WWF and Monday Night Raw. This show was named WCW Monday Nitro, and it made it's debut on September 4th 1995. On that same evening, Raw did not air on TV, so WCW and the Nitro show was able to deliver a wrestling television show completely unopposed and unchallenged.

The next week though, on September 11th 1995, both WCW Nitro and WWF Raw would air their Monday night television shows. WWF Raw was taped while WCW Nitro was live, and this would be the very first time both Raw and Nitro went head to head in the Monday Night War television ratings battle. This mini documentary from Wrestling Bios looks at both of these wrestling shows while comparing all the matches and all the promos.
