The Bryan & Vinny Show is back today with tons to talk about in our look back at Raw and Nitro from 19 years ago this week. Nitro was actually the better wrestling show, but it didn’t matter one damn bit as Raw destroyed them in the ratings. Raw was not a good show — but it was not boring. A fun show as always so check it out~!
Today’s two shows took place on April 12, 1999.
WCW Nitro had fallout from Spring Stampede, the return of the Macho Man, the Master Blasters, Surge, Rey Mysterio and Billy Kidman in action, Goldberg, Ric Flair vs. Sting and a main event of Scott Steiner taking on new WCW champion Diamond Dallas Page and more. Bryan also has his thoughts on WrestleMania weekend.
WWF Raw had Shane McMahon turning on Vince McMahon, The Undertaker’s TV persona taking over, Rodney and his hair, Ken Shamrock dealing with the Undertaker, the Undertaker’s symbols and The Rock throwing Steve Austin off a bridge.
