5 Things you didn't know about the final WCW Monday Nitro

#4 The WWF were worried for their safety

Sting and Ric Flair wrestled the final match in the history of World Championship Wrestling

Shane McMahon may have been the most prominent WWF employee at the final Nitro, even appearing during the show, but he wasn't the only one there.

The WWF reportedly sent several backstage officials to help with the final show, and break the news to the WCW stars.

This led many WWF officials to be worried for their safety, as not only were they coming in from the opposing company, but they would shortly be delivering the worst possible news to the WCW locker-room.

Fortunately, no attacks occurred, and many WCW stars said it was a relief to see the WWF officials there, as it meant someone knew what they were doing, a rare sight in WCW after months, if not years, of backstage politicking and pure chaos.
