We continue through the history of one of the biggest wrestling companies of all time with the second half of Monday Nitro and Thunder from 1998. It’s a bad time for WCW as the Monday Night Wars are starting to swing in the other direction. Monday Night Raw started winning again in April 1998 and WCW has been scrambling for a way to get back on top. However, their strategy seems to be a combination of quick fixes and going back to ideas that worked before. These methods don’t have the most successful track records in wrestling history but maybe they’ll work here.

In this book, I’ll be looking at every Monday Nitro and Thunder from July 1998 through December 1998, breaking down each show match by match and segment by segment. This is a very important time in WCW’s history and it should be interesting looking back and seeing what was working, what wasn’t working, but most importantly why it wasn’t working. As usual I’ll be providing play by play, context and analysis of every show.

The books is my longest ever at over 400 pages on a Kindle and only costs $3.99, or the equivalent in other currencies. If you don’t have a Kindle or e-book reader, there are several FREE apps you can use to read it on pretty much any electronic device. You can find those from Amazon here.

You can pick up the book from Amazon here.

From the UK Amazon here.

Or if you’re in another country with its own Amazon page, just search “KB Nitro Volume 4” and my book will be the first thing that pop up.

Also you can still get any of my previous books on the WWE Championship, Monday Night Raw from 1997, 1998 and 2001, Monday Nitro from 1995-June 1998, In Your House, Summerslam, Starrcade, ECW Pay Per Views, Royal Rumble, Saturday Night’s Main Event, the WWF and WCW pay per views from 1998, Wrestlemania and Clash of the Champions at my author’s page here.

Wrestling video games are great for your imagination, to take your favorite wrestler on the champions path just like on TV, so here are the top 5 wrestling games.

There are many wrestling games that offer hours of fun with some of the greatest wrestlers in the world like Hulk Hogan, Brock Lesnar, The Rock, Stone Cold, the Undertaker and all the other legends. I remember my favorite from the 1990s that I played on my Sega Genesis. It was called WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game, and featured Yokozuna, The Undertaker, Bret Hart, Doink the Clown, Bam Bam Bigelow etc. It was an awesome game for that time, and a timeless classic now if you are into old school gaming consoles. So, in respect to that, here are the top 5 wrestling games.

Hulkamania

Let’s start the list with a legendary casino game featuring Hulk Hogan. You can find this slot today at online casinos, even though now the majority have 3D online slots. You can play it at gaming sites where Endemol games can be found where usually there are games from NetEnt too, which is great because promotions at NetEnt casinos are the best.

You will love this slot game if you want to play casino games. With each spin you get the excitement and fun that only Hulk Hogan is able to convey. The soundtrack is awesome and you get to see Hogan do his displays for which he is known. You got to try this unique game even if you don’t like slots.

WWE ‘13

Let’s get on to the PC games. WWE ’13 has an awesome gameplay. Even though it’s from 2013, it will remain as a classic for future generations of gamers. The wrestlers used are some of the best wrestlers from the attitude era like British Bulldog, The Road Warriors, Ken Shamrock and The New Age Outlaws just to name a few. The game play is incredible and with each move you will be left saying ‘OMG, OMG’. You can even break the ring just like Big Show and Brock Lesnar did in real life.

Fire Pro Wrestling Returns

If you want a wrestling game that is not based on normal tactics or button mashing, this one is the right one. It has a different system that is based on strategic and strict timing game play. Some find this painfully difficult to learn, but once you figure it out you’ll play it all day long. Sadly, this game doesn’t have the big WWE names, but it has a great customization mode with which you can make hundreds of different wrestlers. It also has great death match modes.

WWF No Mercy

Here is a true old school gem that many wrestling fans consider the best of the best. It had one of the best rosters that no other WWF game has ever had. All of the wrestlers are from the mid 2000 period with some of the best attitude era guys. It had some of the most amazing options to create wrestlers and you could even create female ones. Truly an amazing game, with very cheesy music and long entrances, which some consider the biggest cons of this game.

WWE Smackdown Here Comes The Pain

There is no wrestling game as Here Comes the Pain. It literally stands out in every aspect. The roster includes Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, The Rock, Stone Cold and other major legends and there is an insane story mode to go through. You could start one story mode and it always branched out to hundred different ones. You could play this game for months and still have a unique experience. There is no way in which this game can be conveyed with words. You simply have to try it. You can have different feuds between different wrestlers, you can talk backstage etc. It’s amazing.

NorCal, Shocky and I talk about one of the biggest news weeks in a long time.
