About Monday Night Wars and WCW

“The Monday Night Wars was a significant period in mainstream American professional wrestling, spanning from September 4, 1995, to March 26, 2001. During this time, the World Wrestling Federation's (WWF; now WWE) Monday Night Raw (later Raw Is War) and World Championship Wrestling's Monday Nitro were broadcast simultaneously, competing for Nielsen ratings each week. This era largely overlapped with the Attitude Era, which the WWF described as "WWF Attitude" for its programming from November 9, 1997, to May 6, 2002.”
