''WCW Saturday Night'' is an American weekly Saturday night television show on TBS that was produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Launched in 1971 initially by Georgia Championship Wrestling, the program existed through various incarnations under different names before becoming ''WCW Saturday Night'' in 1992. Although initially the anchor show of the Turner Broadcasting-backed wrestling company, the September 1995 premiere of ''WCW Monday Nitro'' airing on sister station TNT usurped the show's once preeminent position in the company, as the primary source of storyline development and pay-per-view buildup. The show's place in the company was further devalued by the advent of ''WCW Thunder'' in 1998, airing on TBS and providing the secondary wrestling and storyline development that ''WCW Saturday Night'' had produced in the wake of ''Nitro'' burgeoning three-hour-long format. Once the cornerstone of the WCW wrestling empire, ''WCW Saturday Night'' ended its run in 2000 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
