In 1995, WCW Executive Vice President Eric Bischoff thought of ways to grow the promotion. Former WWF star Hulk Hogan arrived in the summer of 1994 and quickly won the world title. It gave WCW some much needed publicity and increased pay-per-view buys but these gains were offset by budgetary woes. To remedy the problem, Bischoff would go into cost-cutting mode, releasing veteran talent, eliminating house shows, and increasing the number of pay-per-view offerings before pitching the idea of a Monday night wrestling program to Ted Turner. This book offers a historical glance at WCW in 1995 prior to the debut of Monday Nitro, reviewing its television program, chronicling angles, compiling win/loss data for superstars, charting major feuds and angles, ranking matches, and providing a timeline for major WCW events from January to September 1995.
