With WrestleMania XII all wrapped up, the WWF went into San Barnardino for Monday Night Raw and not only did we get the in-ring debut of Marc Mero (WCW's Johnny B. Badd), but Mankind also worked his very first TV match on this show. Mick Foley's Mankind character would become a huge part of the Monday Night War, and right from the get-go, Mankind made an impact. Over on the WCW side, Eric Bischoff and company were getting ready for a rough month. Not only were there no PPVs scheduled for April 1996, but Nitro was getting ready for another pre-empted week on the 8th of April. 2 pre-empted shows in the space of a month meant storyline progession would slow down and the creative team would need to focus on building a PPV which was over 1 month away. Slamboree 1996 would also feature the "Lethal Lottery" tag matches that didn't do much in terms of storylines, so things are looking a bit shaky on Nitro over the next few weeks. This video looks at the Monday Night ratings battle between WCW and the WWF on 4.1.96. Superstars who appeared on Raw and Nitro this week include the new WWF Champion Shawn Michaels, WCW Champion Ric Flair, The Road Warriors, The Undertaker, Sting, The Bodydonnas and many more. 00:00 - WrestleMania XII results 05:00 - Sting vs The Giant 07:07 - The WWF debut of Mankind 08:47 - Marc Mero's debut and the WCW Triangle Tag match 13:49 - WWF and WCW put on Tag Team matches 17:51 - Hogan, Bootyman & Shawn Michaels Promos 20:37 - The Main Events - Loads more! #WWE #WCWNitro #Wrestling
