This Day In Wrestling History

September 4, 1995 - Emanating from Minneapolis' Mall of America, the debut episode of WCW Monday Nitro airs live on TNT. The rapid-fire, one-hour program featured a blistering show opener between Brian Pillman and New Japan's Jushin Liger, Sting defending his U.S. title against "Nature Boy" Ric Flair and a main event pitting WCW World champion Hulk Hogan against "Big" Bubba Rogers. The program also featured several unexpected appearances, including New Japan's Scott Norton, a vignette for the soon-to-be-debuting Sabu and, of course, the shocking return to WCW of Lex Luger. With the WWF's Monday Night Raw preempted over on the USA network, WCW went unopposed and had Nitro's first night all to themselves, scoring a very impressive 2.9 rating.
