It's 5.20.1996 and it's time to watch WCW Nitro and WWF Raw to see which show was really the best. This week's episode of Reliving The War marks the end of an era for World Championship Wrestling; not only is this the last Nitro broadcast to run under 2 hours, but this is also the calm before the storm... the final Nitro before Scott Hall's WCW return (leading to the eventual formation of the nWo). The whole Monday Night War was about to drastically change.

Raw is showing taped matches from Sioux City Iowa while Nitro is live from Monroe, Louisiana. The Steiner Brothers, Ric Flair, Eddie Guerrero and The Giant all work matches on TNT while The British Bulldog, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Savio Vega and Jake "The Snake" Roberts compete on the USA Network. The 1996 Slamboree results are also covered in this episode.
