Some promos shake the mic. Others shake the industry.
On May 27, 1996, WCW Monday Nitro opened the second hour of the program with a match in progress between Steve Doll and The Mauler, two mid-card professional wrestlers who had both previously wrestled in the World Wrestling Federation (under different names) with the surprise outsider that was about to walk through the crowd and drop a promo that forever chang professional wrestling. The Outsider was Scott Hall, looking and sounding just like Razor Ramon from the WWF.
“You want a war? You're gonna get one.”
This wasn't just a promo—it was a major strike in the Monday Night Wars that would end up nearly ending the World Wrestling Federation, but in retrospect somehow had something to do in ending the WCW five years later.
In just two appearances during the Nitro program that day, Hall made his presence known.
Below is a tribute to that iconic moment and the storm it unleashed.

💥 Legacy of May 27, 1996
Scott Hall didn’t just walk into WCW—he kicked the door open. This promo blurred the line between fiction and reality, ushered in the nWo, and made Nitro must-see TV. This was the "mic drop" that set the tone for the Monday Night Wars.
