Apocalypse Nowadays 49: On Nitro — The Rise, Reign, and Ruin of WCW
Aaron sits down with journalist and author Guy Evans to explore his book Nitro and the story of World Championship Wrestling’s explosive rise in the late 1990s and its eventual collapse. Drawing on 120+ interviews, the conversation covers Nitro vs. Raw, the NWO era, Eric Bischoff’s audacious leadership, Turner Broadcasting’s role, and the cultural and technological forces that shaped wrestling’s boom. The episode looks beyond wrestling to examine ambition, innovation, corporate politics, creative burnout, and how a perfect cultural moment made WCW both a global juggernaut and, ultimately, vulnerable to its own excesses.

Apocalypse Nowadays 47: Halloween Fun, World Series Drama, and SNAP Shutdown
