One of the regular DDT Digest readers, MG, has volunteered to dig through old wrestling magazines and websites and put together a history of WCW. I felt this would be a good addition to DDT Digest, as all of our detail is from the Bischoff era forward. Other than passing references, DDT Digest really hasn't had a lot about the early history of WCW from the days of Jim Crockett, Jim Herd and Bill Watts.

MG will be putting these pieces together over time, and I will post them as they become ready.

• Part I 1988 to Late 1989
• Part II Late 1989 to Late 1990
• Part III Late 1990 to Early 1992
• Part IV Early 1992 to Early 1993
• Part V Early 1993 to Mid 1994

Note from MG: I would like to dedicate this series of articles to the memory of my friend and fellow WCW fan, Wes. I'm ending this article with the signature that he used when he posted on newsgroups.
