~ Wrestlemania comes on the air with an intro video about how tonight is the “Showcase of the Immortals”. Jim Ross then welcomes us to the show along with Paul Heyman who talks about being at his first Wrestlemania. As it turns out this would be the only Wrestlemania Heyman would do commentary on, and I don’t think he appeared at any of the other Mania’s during his WWF tenure.

So on this day, while WCW’s Nitro aired for the final time on TNT, here’s what happened on TNN.
