They're doing a great job on this, as well they have loving better.

Man, I loving hope they add a feature where you can queue up a Nitro and the opposing Raw and watch them at the same time with a timer ticking telling you what happened when.

This show is a slam dunk and I hope it gets a boatload of subs so they keep making things in this depth

Vince probably hated that drat dog show with a huge passion. Tennis is at least sport.

No kidding. I was just a Sting mark and enjoyed watching both shows. Bischoff giving results didn't even register with me then. It would have been so cool to really know what was really going on at the time.

I'm not sure when they started doing it, but I remember Nitro would replay later at night, so I'd get to watch Raw, and then Nitro a few hours later.
