The Rajah Debates Round 1 - #5 Rip vs. #12 Nash Diesel - CLOSED!
VS.
Welcome to the Rajahdome, where these brave competitors will now begin their debate. But before we begin, please take a second to review the rules. If you disobey them, then I will edit or even delete your post, requiring you to start over from scratch. Be warned.
- All debates will be comprised of 3 posts by each competitor, each with a word cap of 250 words.
- You have only 72 hours to complete all three posts. If you don't finish then that is on you.
- Those 6 posts must be staggered. You can't make your next post until the other debator has had their turn.
- Pictures, gifs and videos can be used in literally unlimited amounts to support your point.
- No editing of posts is allowed, and if you go second, your first post must NOT be a rebuttal of the other person's first post as that would grant an unfair advantage.
- Order will be determined by a coin flip just before the debate begins.
- The winner will be chosen equally from 4 sources. 2 judges, a reader write in vote, and a poll which will be posted on the main page along with your debates which will allow the greater Rajah audience to vote on your words.
And now it's time for our next debate topic!
The Monday Night Wars were an electric time in wrestling history. Never before, and almost certainly never again, did so many people jump ship from company to company, seeking more money and better opportunities. Each company, WWF, WCW and ECW, fought with the others with every scrap of influence that they could to stockpile the most talent possible in this wild free agent arms race. Some of these defectors made enormous impacts that still reverberate through the years, and some came and went with all the significance of a mildly scented fart. But today, we're looking at those who made the biggest impact, as I ask you to answer the question...
WHAT FREE AGENT SIGNING MADE THE BIGGEST IMPACT DURING THE MONDAY NIGHT WARS?
Note: Hulk Hogan is not an option, as we're establishing the Monday Night Wars as beginning with the debut of WCW Monday Nitro and ending with the sale of WCW to WWE.
The Coin Flip Indicates That Nash Diesel Will Go First!

Arguably the greatest period of time for pro wrestling. WCW lead by Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair were trying to find their place once again in North America, trying to get out of the shadows of a giant in the industry during a time where pro wrestling wasn't exactly on the top of everyone's must see list. They had arguably the better wrestling, but Nitro was still trailing behind the established WWF Raw. Uncle Eric had Daddy's checkbook ready to rock and with the lure of less dates with guaranteed money, it made perfect sense for this man to move on and see if he could help turn around another company during a time where pro wrestling was struggling.
The Nitro where the wrestling world basically changed overnight was spearheaded by this man in one of the greatest "returns" of all time.
From this point on, WCW's momentum kept growing, averaging over a million more viewers each week and counting compared to their rival Monday Night Raw. As the nWo's popularity grew, so did the overall appeal of pro wrestling, again, spearheaded by Scott Hall's signing to WCW. Hey yo....This was when the war truly started.
