passage: History of WWE Raw
At the start of the ratings war in 1995 through to mid-1996, "Raw" and "Nitro" exchanged victories over each other in a closely contested rivalry. Beginning in mid-1996, however, thanks primarily to the nWo angle, "Nitro" started a ratings win-streak that lasted for 84 consecutive weeks, ending on April 13, 1998.
