This was probably the moment that WWE won the Monday Night Wars. WCW were ahead of WWE in the ratings fro quite some time. On one of their episodes in 1999, WCW commentator Tony Schiavone announced to fans the taped results of Monday Night Raw in advance, thus spoiling Raw's main event.
The results were so shocking that many fans switched channels to watch Raw. The main event was a title match between Mankind and The Rock. Vince McMahon did everything he could to prevent Mankind from winning the match.

When Austin’s music hit, he was greeted with one of the loudest pops in history. The Texas Rattlesnake hit The Rock with a steel chair gifting a memorable win to Mankind.
Monday Night Raw went on to defeat WCW Nitro in the ratings war, and this was the beginning of the end for WCW.

Sunil is a pro wrestling journalist, covering AEW and WWE news stories at Sportskeeda. He holds an MBA degree in Marketing, and has nearly 7 years of experience. A wrestling aficionado since childhood, Sunil used to imitate his favorite wrestlers as a young kid, and started writing professionally about the sport via Sportskeeda’s revenue-sharing opportunity.
Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.
If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
Always focused on making his work accurate and reliable, Sunil thoroughly checks his facts before writing his articles. When not writing for pro wrestling, he spends his time watching cricket.
