It seems if you were living/raised in the south you typically watched more WCW and if you were elsewhere (in the north or another country) you tend to lean more towards WWF haha

The best was when TNT started airing Nitro replays the same night, which made it easy.
Watch (or record) Raw as it aired, and then watch (or record) the Nitro replay later that night.
Otherwise, I was a WWF guy with a solid interest in WCW too, so I followed both regularly. If I were forced to only watch one, I probably would have stuck with the WWF. But I was born & raised in New York, so the WWF sort of *was* pro wrestling to my family and friends.

just looking at the posts here make me realise how important Austin was in switching viewership.

I was really young around these times, of WWF and WCW, but if I was like about 10 - 12, I would of rather watched WWF.

Both, though more WCW at first and then WWE towards the end.

Dumbass me watched WCW but then switched over in 1999. My fondest memories of WWF during the Monday Night Wars were the Raw is Owen show, (first WWF event I ever saw was Over the Edge 1999) Jericho's historic debut and This is Your Life.
Also remember stuff like the Big Show, Smackdown, Bossman, Snow, Hardcore division, X-Pac & Kane, etc.

I grew up on WWF so I was always a WWF guy. I would watch hour 1 of Nitro and then switch to Raw and try to catch or tape the Nitro Replay. I think the best year of the Monday Night Wars was 98. Both companies were on fire at the time. Nitro started the year winning, then in the spring and summer it was back and forth until WWF took over in the fall and never looked back. I was a big DDP and Jericho fan of WCW and liked the cruiserweights, but no doubt I think 98 was the best year of Wresting overall.

Both, I watched Raw live and taped Nitro. This was my routine throughout the entire Monday Night War.

I wasnt too fussed about wcw i was WWF crazy and watched raw every week but wasnt wcw on bravo in uk? is this a reply to my post? if so it was on TNT in Ireland-I would have no idea what channel it was on in the UK...... Originally, in England, Cartoon Network and TNT shared the same channel, so when Cartoon Network would close down for the evening at 8pm, TNT would go on with Nitro. When that finished, the first showing of Raw would come on Sky Sports 1 at 10pm, usually with a repeat at 1am. Then on Saturday mornings we had Shotgun Saturday Night on Sky 1. I so miss the '90s  |

I started watching wrestling during this period which I think I was very fortunate to do because of the choice of these two massive companies battling it out to be number 1. WWF edged my support but I was a fan of both.
