World Championship Wrestling is coming to YouTube. Or, at least some of the now defunct promotions top matches and events are coming to YouTube.

WWE, which purchased WCW’s video library (along with many other assets) in 2001, announced on Thursday that a YouTube page devoted entirely to WCW, had been launched.

“Watch full WCW matches, full episodes of Monday Nitro and Thunder, complete pay-per-view events, and Clash of the Champions, featuring Sting, Ric Flair, The nWo, Goldberg and more,” the WWE said on X. “It’s Where The Big Boys Play!”

Among the full videos posted are the first two episodes of WCW Monday Nitro, which launched in September 1995 and the first two episodes of WCW Thunder, which launched in January 1998. Some of the matches featured at the main event of the 1996 Bash at the Beach pay-per-view, which culminated with Hulk Hogan’s heel turn, launching the nWo. WCW’s final pay-per-view, WCW Greed, which ran just over one week before the final episode of Nitro in March 2001, was also included among the early videos shared.
