“The time period covered in NITRO - 1995 to 2001 - represents a number of themes that transcend its subject matter; notably, the rise of early Internet culture, the still-active notion of 'mainstream', the limits of creative expression, ‘edgy’ entertainment that pushed the envelope, television and its cultural power (including, as a corollary, the decline of the televised communal experience), and the relative tranquility of America’s cultural, economic and political affairs.

...it was in this context that the explosion in wrestling’s popularity occurred.”
Guy Evans, NITRO: Expanded Edition - The Incredible Rise and Inevitable Collapse of Ted Turner's WCW
