Craig Leathers was a longtime producer of World Championship Wrestling telecasts. He worked directly under Eric Bischoff for many years before Bill Busch put him in charge of TV when Bischoff was removed. Busch, who didn't have Bischoff's production experience, felt Leathers was the most qualified replacement.

Leathers became Executive Producer For Turner's WCW Monday Nitro. Nitro brought with it an intense rivalry between WCW's Monday night program and the WWF's Monday Night RAW program. This rivalry is known to wrestling fans as the "Monday Night Wars." Throughout the Monday Night Wars between Eric Bischoff and Vince McMahon, Nitro was gaining on its WWF counterpart popularity-wise. Soon Nitro would surpass RAW in the TV ratings. Leathers lead Monday Nitro into the ratings war and held the highest ratings in cable for 82 consecutive weeks...beating WWF's RAW.
