My pick is the 9/14/98 edition. Ric Flair's return, Sting vs Goldberg, Kidman winning the cruiserweight title. A fun show.

the last episode. "greatest" is a synonym of "best", and since every Nitro was the "greatest night in the history of this business", thus surpassing the previous greatest which was last week's episode, then by simple logic the greatest, or best, episode of Nitro was the final episode. it also makes the first episode of Nitro the worst by default.

July 8th, 1996, is one of the first ones that really stick out in my mind. It was the night after Bash at the Beach. In the days before widespread internet and newz ahead of time, finding out what happened at the hostile takeover match, this show became an absolute must-watch.
There was a fantastic Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Dean Malenko match where Rey won the Cruiserweight title for the first time. The main event was perfectly acceptable Sting/Arn Anderson match that fit the NWO/WCW storyline very well.
Plus, Nitro was set at Disney's MGM Studios (now called Disney's Hollywood Studios), which was one of my favorite Nitro settings of all time. I used to love seeing Nitro in different settings other than typical arenas.

I don't remember what else happened on it, but the Nitro where Luger beat Hogan was amazing. Perfect ending to a show and a glimpse into the largely untapped potential Nitro had if it had been booked more competently instead of the parade of never-ending screwy finishes and heel run-ins.

Just not the one where the NWO spent an hour tearing down the set/arena to put up their own. That thing took forever.

I would probably agree with the Luger-Hogan episode, or maybe Goldberg-Hogan. Goldberg-Hogan was pretty special, actually. I always hated Hogan, especially as a kid, so seeing him get his comeuppance was great, and they actually built to it all night long, unlike most Nitros, where the main event just kinda happened. Nitro didn't really feel like a cohesive show in the way Raw did until early or maybe even mid 98, by which point they were starting to suck, so there aren't many all-around great episodes.

June 30, 1997 where Hennig and Raven both debuted or July 6, 1998 where Goldberg beat Hogan.

September 14th, 1998 is a really memorable show. That's the first one that jumped to mind.

My pick is the 9/14/98 edition. Ric Flair's return, Sting vs Goldberg, Kidman winning the cruiserweight title. A fun show. Definitely. The whole Horsemen reunion had such a great feel to it. The lights being down, the crowd being white hot, the suits. It offered a true alternative to what WWF was offering at the time. And Sting/Goldberg wasn't a crapfest main event like they usually were. |
