Dust off your NWO shirts and fire up your dial-up modems, because WCW is back, brother! Well, kinda. WWE has officially launched a WCW-dedicated YouTube channel, bringing classic matches, full episodes of Monday Nitro and Thunder, and even full pay-per-views to the digital masses.
That’s right, folks—no need to dig through your uncle’s VHS tapes from 1997, because WWE is making the glory (and absolute chaos) of WCW free and easily bingeable.
WCW on YouTube: “Where the Big Boys (Still) Play”
WWE took to social media on Thursday to break the news, saying:
“WCW ON YOUTUBE! Watch full WCW matches, full episodes of Monday Nitro and Thunder, complete pay-per-view events, and Clash of the Champions, featuring Sting, Ric Flair, The nWo, Goldberg, and more. It’s Where The Big Boys Play!”
A WCW revival without a hostile WWE takeover? What a concept.
What’s Available?
So far, the channel already features:
✅ Hollywood Hogan vs. Sting (Starrcade 1997)
✅ The Outsiders vs. Luger, Sting & Savage (Bash at the Beach 1996)
✅ Four full WCW pay-per-views (including Starrcade 1993 and Greed 2001)
✅ Episodes of Nitro and Thunder, with more coming soon
If WWE keeps this up, we might actually get to see all of WCW’s history without Peacock’s weird, missing episodes.
WWE’s “Vault” Strategy: Give the Fans What They Want (for Free)
This move comes after the success of “WWE Vault,” another YouTube channel that launched last year, dropping over 1,000 classic matches and shows while gaining 1.43 million subscribers in under a year. With WWE realizing that “free classic content” = massive engagement, it only makes sense that they’d bring back WCW in the same way.
So, whether you want to relive the glory days of the Monday Night Wars, or just watch the train wreck that was WCW in the year 2000, this channel is your new one-stop shop for nostalgia and questionable booking decisions.
