5 Things you didn't know about the final WCW Monday Nitro

#1 Jeff Jarrett's firing scared employees

Jarrett was one of WCW's biggest stars when the company collapsed.

If there's one thing the final Nitro can be remembered for, it's Jeff Jarrett.

Whilst Double-J did not appear in person on the show, he certainly had an impact (pardon the pun), as Vince McMahon, seen watching both WCW and WWF simultaneously, publicly fired Jarrett, arguably because of Jarrett leaving the WWF in 1999.

This firing was very real, and whilst Jarrett knew Vince didn't like him, the cold callous manner in which McMahon publicly got rid himself of one of WCW's biggest stars sent shockwaves for the remaining WCW stars.

After all, if McMahon was fine with firing a huge star during a quick promo, how were any of them safe?

Jarrett would go on and founded TNA Wrestling the next year, before returning to the WWE 17 years later to enter their Hall of Fame.
