Biography
other uses Souled Out was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) promoted by World Championship Wrestling in the month of January from 1997 through 2000. It was originally started as an New World Order (professional wrestling)|nWo PPV but it did not generate the revenue it hoped for so it was turned into a WCW and nWo co-promoted PPV. This show, along with all of the other WCW pay-per-views that followed, stayed as a co-branded WCW/nWo show until the nWo disbanded in 1999. In 2001, it was replaced by WCW Sin . WWE have owned the rights to Souled Out since they purchased WCW in 2001. -
