Whilst the final Nitro was an emotional moment for many WCW wrestlers, most would find their way into the WWF down the line.

Stars such as DDP, Booker T, Goldberg, Sting, Ric Flair, Jeff Jarrett, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Rey Mysterio and more, would all eventually join the WWE, to varying degrees of success.

One wrestler who sadly didn't make the cut was Stevie Ray, who for years had teamed with Booker T.

During the final Nitro, it was clear to both men who would become a huge star, and who would not, and had an emotional moment.

Realizing that this was their last night living their dream together, the pair embraced, before Booker would go out and capture the WCW World Championship in the opening match of the final show.
