Souled Out was a professional wrestling pay-per-view ( PPV ) event promoted Cause_change_of_position_on_a_scale by World Championship Wrestling ( WCW ) in January from 1997 through 2000 .

The 1997 and 1998 WCW Souled Out PPV events were held Hold on Saturdays due to the Super Bowl played the next day , and the 1999 and 2000 shows were held Hold on Sundays .

Despite the initial poor review , WCW elected Change_of_leadership to keep the event on its calendar ( as prior to 1997 it did not have a regular January PPV event ) and Souled Out became Becoming a co-branded WCW/nWo event during the 1998 edition .

The co-branding continued Being_in_operation until the following Souled Out , when interim WCW President Ric Flair declared Expressing_publicly that WCW pay-per-views would no longer carry nWo branding .

The final Souled Out event was held Hold in 2000 , and WCW renamed Name_conferral its January PPV WCW Sin for 2001 .
