Shannon Moore On Drinking While Underage After WCW Monday Nitro

Shannon Moore was too young to drink following the first episode of WCW Monday Nitro he appeared on, but that didn’t stop the young star.

Nitro launched in 1995 as WCW’s answer to WWF RAW, kicking off the Monday Night Wars that would last until March 2001.

Sitting down with “Developmentally Speaking,” Moore recalled the post-show celebration after the first episode of Nitro he was on in 1999. He said,

“That first Nitro, I drank a lot. Kevin Nash and Curt Hennig and Scott Hall … business happens at the bar. That’s the way I was brought up.

“So I walk in the bar that night after ‘Nitro’ and Kevin, Scott, and Curt, they’re at the bar, having a few beers. They just started to order — Jack Daniels, Jack Daniels, Jack Daniels, and I wasn’t much of a drinker yet. I start pounding Jack Daniels, and I got really sick, had to go to the bathroom and throw up, and I kept drinking.” Moore said that going home from that night made him realize that he needed to learn how to drink.

“I couldn’t even buy alcohol at the time so I had a buddy that’s 21 and I was like ‘Man, you gotta go buy me some beer and liquor because I gotta go drink this week so I can get the hang of it.”

Moore was with WCW from 1999 until the company’s demise in 2001 and would join the WWF shortly after.
