LAWSUITS: In 1996, Titan Sports, the parent company of the World Wrestling Federation, sued World Championship Wrestling (WCW) over WCW implying that Scott Hall and Kevin Nash (Razor Ramon and Diesel) were invading WCW on the WWF's behalf.
This led to a series of lawsuits filed by both companies as the Monday Night War heated up.
The lawsuit went on for years, ending with a settlement in 2000.
One of the terms gave then WWF the right to bid on WCW's assets if the company were liquidated.
AOL Time Warner, the then-parent company of WCW, cancelled WCW's television shows in March 2001 and sold the company assets to the WWF.
