WCW Legend Leon White (Vader) never appeared on a single episode of WCW Monday Nitro, although he did appear in archive footage used for the opening title sequence.
Went out live for many years, and as a tactic to draw viewers in Eric Bischoff would give away results from their competition WWE Monday Night RAW (1993) at the start of the show.
On 19 March 2001 Eric Bischoff announced that he would be appearing the following week with a major announcement. Originally, Bischoff was going to announce that he and his company Fusient Media were going to be purchasing WCW. However, the deal fell through when the Turner networks announced they no longer would be carrying wrestling. That left the door wide open for Vince McMahon to buy the company as well as the WCW video library.
Towards the end both Nitro and Thunder were taped on the same day as they couldn't get enough fans for two separate television tapings.
Besides broadcasting from various arenas across the country, the show also did special broadcasts from Disney/MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida.
