"WorldWide" was cancelled along with "Monday Nitro" and "Thunder" the day before the World Wrestling Federation purchased WCW's tape library and intellectual property. At the time of its cancellation, "WorldWide" was the longest-running, uninterrupted weekly syndicated show of any kind on the air in the United States. The final episode of "WorldWide" aired on March 31, 2001, making it the last WCW television show aired. Some syndicated stations would air "WorldWide" very early in the morning on Sunday (12:00 to 1:00 AM, 1:00 to 2:00 AM, etc.), so there are people who consider the last episode's date to be April 1, 2001, the day of WrestleMania X-Seven.
