Mr. McMahon buys WCW: Nitro, March 26, 2001

Mr. McMahon announces on WCW television he has purchased his rival.

Say what you want but Vince was a terrific actor, not surprised they gave him a star in the Hollywood walk of fame

[Le_ZAPpeur]

"I bought my competition" HARD! Classic

[fuegococoa]

Probably the most important moment in all of wrestling.

[DanSurgeYT]

This isn't Vince McMahon, the character talking. This is Vince McMahon the person talking

[nipulkradmsinatagras]

I could only imagine if Facebook & Twitter existed back then.

[fsd]

Gotta respect Vince’s hard work over the past 40 something years.

[evospain]

Man I just love that last part “The very fate of WCW is in.. MY HANDS! 😂

[-who]

That folks, that is how TNA was born.

2035 = 90 year old Vince McMahon purchases AEW

[bubbagiznits]

Imagine sitting in that crowd lol EPIC

[LuckiSir]

This is some video-game ending right here, Vince and the other superstars did an amazing job

[GlobalWarmingSkeptic]

I remember watching the final Nitro and seeing this, such a shock after the week earlier, Bischoff gave hope. After Vince appeared, it was all over. I had to watch to see what would happen but it was a total feeling of defeat me, someone who really didn't like Raw and was a WCW fan even through their garbage days where I would go weeks without watching Nitro, but always hoped it would get better in time.

WCW was a falling ship at that point, wwf buying the company was the best for then
I just wished that WCW guys were treated better back in the day

[jbmmm]

The Monday night wars gave us the that wrestling could and and ever will produce!

[MrAitraining]

I don't think any drug or any amount of money gave Vince the high this moment gave him. I hated it, but it must have felt pretty sweet.

[keksterbojester]

After seeing Dark Side of the Ring's segment on black Saturday, this was Vince's ultimate victory speech on successfully claiming all territories from the 80s

[damienalicea]

I love that part simulcast of WCW/WWE television, WWE wins of ratings of Monday Night War and announced of the end of Monday Nitro. WCW is BURIED.

[ShubhamMishrabro]

The day when wrestling started to fall down

[cprchandler]

Ill never forget watching live, it was the most shocking thing I'd ever seen on TV. I was flipping between Raw and Nitro, it was a simulcast in realtime. I was telling my mom, she's like "whats the big deal" and the best analogy I could use was, imagine if "Days of our lives" and "Passion" had a crossover episode! She watched soaps, lol. I was a massive fan of WCW, I would tune in every Monday for Nitro, knowing it was the last episode really sucked.

The End Of Monday Night Wars Era, but not the Attitude Era until June 2002.
