This Day In Wrestling History

Sting - historyofwrestling.comSeptember 11, 1995 - The initial battle of the Monday Night War is fought when Raw and Nitro go head-to-head for the first time ever. Despite Nitro's strong 2.9 debut rating seven days prior, it came during a week when Nitro went unopposed by Raw. Now that they would be facing off directly, many pundits predicted that the well-established World Wrestling Federation would easily defeat World Championship Wrestling. However, when the two programs aired opposite of each other for the first time on September 11, 1995, WWF Monday Night Raw managed a victory over WCW Monday Nitro by the slimmest of margins, 2.5 to 2.4.
