Same here. At some point the WWE should be like: “Maybe we ought to bring this “Wrestling Bios” guy in to produce content for us.” I mean, damn! It’d sure be a huge step forward and above from Kevin Dunn.
Jake the Snake Roberts gave Raven that advice before stumbling backwards, falling, and then taking the settings of a dining room table down with him to the floor. “DDT…” he said from the ground.
I get this feeling often. I work in Med Surg floor of a hospital and usually work Wednesday nights. Waking up on Thursday afternoon to this notification is always a buzz feeling. 🙌
I’ve been binging this series for the past couple months and today I am finally caught up and can watch an episode on release day. Thanks for all you do!
@@philminkeesickquayash8988I started in January of this year, even though I've been subbed for years, I've never watched them in order and started back then, and now I'm finally this far, can't wait until I'm fully caught up, lol... Wrestling Bios is definitely in my top three, possibly number 1 of those 3, lol.
As much as Thunder could be a hit or miss show, I always liked the entrance set that we see debuting here. The industrial look to it, with the "lightning" lighting effects, made it visually appealing.
Thunder is okay but it's a average show. WCW Saturday Night is still a thing and that got debunked for Nitro and Thunder. The Power Plant was like NXT.
Sadly Thunder would be neglected, from only a few weeks after it’s debut. It’s one of the major things which helped with the downfall of WCW, over saturation and over exposure. Being forced to have a weekly wrestling B show, no one cared about and no one wanted too book. They should have kept Nitro at 2 hours each week also, 3 hours was overkill. It wasn’t until 99 that WWF would show how a B show should be properly put together when Smackdown debuted.
I loved that entire opening for this RAW from the "State of DX" skit to the opening promo. As soon as Austin hits the ring the tone turns on a dime to 100% serious and it did a tremendous job at selling the Mania main event. The dumpster attack was interesting, but then they completely beat it into the ground showing replays over and over.
It was one of the better moments under Russo of trying to make it look like something unscripted happened. The whole look of the roster out on and around the stage, wondering if Foley and Funk were seriously hurt, and Vince even seeming to treat it like Road Dogg and Gunn went too far, made it definitely feel real and off script.
Are you sure Michael Cole didn't call in from a "local medical facility" ? Love the show... a genuine highlight of the week. Thank you for your efforts.
Great recap. I remember watching all of this live and everyone involved -- and I mean EVERYONE -- in the Outlaws/Cactus Jack & Terry Funk angle was just brilliant 👏. The wrestlers involved, the officials, the staff, the announcers, McMahon himself. You can see the live audience is hushed. This angle made the New Age Outlaws. So well done at the time.
And to think that both Billy Gunn and Jessie James were in the WWF during the New Generaton era in 94/95. It took them this to get over finally in 98...and had to team up to do so. Hard to believe that it wouldn't be the last memorable Mick Foley bump to happen in 98, either.
The favorite part of my day is forgetting it's a Thursday and then coming home and having a new Reliving The War to watch and remembering it's only one more day to the weekend.
I think on his little "OYDK" Podcast Road Dogg, thanked Mick and Terry for putting them over like that. Honestly, thank the entire Roster, everyone came out to put that over, you had the boys brawlin' near the stage, Savio ridin' in the Ambulance, and Sunny out there screamin' n holdin' Terry's hand while he's "Convulsing". All in all, an absolute Fantastic Piece of Television.
With the weather turning the living crisis we all have to endure we can always rely on Wrestling Bios to bring some joy to our lives Thanks Ryan we love ya x
I have spent the last year watching ALL of your videos and I am now watching the newest one all caught up. I love what you are doing on the channel and really enjoy your videos. It saddens me that now I gotta find something else to watch through my day. Thanks for keeping me entertained now I got the new videos to look forward to...
Smackhead Kidman lol love your work and appreciate how much effort it must take keeping this up every week., every thursday is a trip down memory lane thanks to you.
This stone cold promo is hands down one of my favorites the way Austin walks down and says he’s going to kick Shawn’s ass and take his title is amazing also when Shawn’s rips his muscle shirt and stone cold looks at him like really then in the end stone cold rips his whole tshirt off like a badass💯 🥶
I always look forward to these videos, I’m reliving my childhood all over again. A lot of it I forgot, but it’s magical when you see it again and remember that time in my life. Thank you for making these videos, they are really well done.
I've been enjoying your videos for almost a year now, although I was casually watching in the early 90's, 97-98 is where my wrestling obsession truly took off. I was graduating middle school around this time and we were all talking about wrestling. Good times!
I've been dreading this day. While I watch your other content regularly I only started watching reliving the war a couple of months ago and I've finally caught up. It's an awesome series and now I'll be eagerly waiting for the new episode each week!
Two things: The Texas nWo shirt that Vincent was wearing was pretty sweet. And secondly, Cactus Jack suplexing that ladder onto Terry Funk stands out so much more now after hearing Mick’s latest podcast today.
Best day of the week it is Thursday again ! Reliving the war lets me enjoy the greatest Times for Wrestling All over again :) Fantastic Job like always on this Chanel✌️
One of the moments I remember really well from the Monday night wars is the Terry Funk and Mick Foley matches/ team ups. By that time I was watching Raw every Monday in large part because I had become a big fan of Mick Foley. One of the best things WWE did for Foley is having him do that interview with Jim Ross as Mankind. Getting to know a little bit more about the person Mick Foley through that interview, really made him a lot more likeable and helped to humanize Mankind.
Watching those makes me go " WOW " The wrestlers , the crowds , the story lines , the signs , everything feels so real and fun compare to whats going on now , not just in wrestling but all around ....
Holy cow it took me awhile to realize this was the first wrestling event I ever went to. The only WCW event I saw in San Antonio. Amazing it didn't click until the main event I remember seeing Sting and Savage.
16:12 We sure are. I mean we had The Acclaimed doing it to The Ass Boys several weeks ago, the closest we got to a concerned reaction was Taz stating 'That's horrible' while JR was mostly fired up in excitement.
Yea, that kind of humor is frowned upon and would cause the twitter retards to explode, and demand them two to be fired and taken to trial for being so toxic and problematic..
the dumpster thing worked really well with how the other wrestlers were pissed. Hated to see Owen get beat up again, but it happened to Austin too. Classic promo at the beginning.
The Outlaws and Cactus/Funk dumpster spot was great, and how it merged them with DX afterwards was huge. All of it setting up the 8-Man Tag and bigger things in the future, RAW was starting to run on all cylinders at this time as it built towards Mania.
Who would have thought they would have been that successful right after losing Bret hart and having very little undertaker during this time period? These guys really started to take off with some meaningful wrestlers and story lines.
Fresh off of taking a super stressful calculus exam, and i know Reliving The War will make me feel a hell of a lot better! Play that f**kin music, indeed!
Sitting here under the weather with COVID: Doc -“ You need some sleep!” Me- “That’s not gonna work for me brother, a new Reliving the War just dropped!”
Would've killed to see during Raven's monologue that they pull out and it's been clear Disco has been Disco Dancing the whole time in the corner waiting for him to finish talking.
Found it a little funny how dirty the Raw arena was on this episode. Between the DX celebration and the hardcore match, I’m surprised that nobody slipped and fell.
One day we are going to look at these videos on Thursdays and reminisce these times like we do for late 90’s wrestling. Let’s all enjoy this wonderful ride!
The WWE Network needs to hire you to do vids like this! They really are worthy and type quality they have on Peacock!! Great video like the rest of them👊💥👍🏻
I genuinely think that this is the longest series on TH-cam that I've followed for this long because of the sheer fun it is
This and ww2 week by week are the longest for me
Me too. The comedy is a good bonus. It's the only series I get notifications for
Same here. At some point the WWE should be like: “Maybe we ought to bring this “Wrestling Bios” guy in to produce content for us.”
I mean, damn! It’d sure be a huge step forward and above from Kevin Dunn.
only thing i can think of that MIGHT be longer is dragon ball x abridged
For real it has become a weekly routine 🔥🔥
Jake the Snake Roberts gave Raven that advice before stumbling backwards, falling, and then taking the settings of a dining room table down with him to the floor. “DDT…” he said from the ground.
The Shockmaster sheds a tear.
Was going to say Jake but couldn't think of a funny way to write it (maybe something about playing 21s or 22s) so well played.
Hi i
JR's call of "There's people in there!" during the Foley-Funk-New Age Outlaws segment is classic.
"WHAT THE HELL IS SO GREAT ABOUT THAT?!? THEIRS PEOPLE IN THERE!!!"
What in the Tout??? there are WWE Superstars in that garbage receptacle!!
That's the call that sticks out when I remember it. There's people in there !!
"You want a war? You're gonna get one" -The best thing I hear every Thursday!
It's just the best feeling to forget it's Thursday and get this notification. Hell yes it's going to be a great day
Lol. Same.
Even better when its a day off work. Good excuse to be awake at 6am
Mufuggin yeah dude!!
I get this feeling often. I work in Med Surg floor of a hospital and usually work Wednesday nights. Waking up on Thursday afternoon to this notification is always a buzz feeling. 🙌
I normally think Wednesday is Thursday and get upset then have this same experience the next day
I hope to God WrestlingBio never gives up on Steve Blackman's remixed theme. It's SO badass everytime that plays in this series
That's not his theme remix theme. I already try looking it up and never came
@@cs77smith67 You're obviously not Veer then. He eventually came. Everywhere.
@@IowaContact really 😂 well show me the link then that it his song.
@@cs77smith67 whaddyatalkinabeet?
It's a remix of Foreigner "Cold As Ice"
I’ve been binging this series for the past couple months and today I am finally caught up and can watch an episode on release day. Thanks for all you do!
Welcome to the best day of the week!
I started back in January, I binge watch from episode 1... Brings back memories...
@@philminkeesickquayash8988I started in January of this year, even though I've been subbed for years, I've never watched them in order and started back then, and now I'm finally this far, can't wait until I'm fully caught up, lol...
Wrestling Bios is definitely in my top three, possibly number 1 of those 3, lol.
I try to watch an episode during breakfast and lunch.
I'm in tears everytime "you're as cold as ice" hits hahaha
Feels like it’s been forever since we’ve had a Saturday Wright Fever appearance.
His schedule is so consistent. Always love watching these every week.
You accidentally said 'Vincent goes for the moonsault' and it made me laugh imagining Vincent actually performing a moonsault.

The only set that looked as good or better than this version of the Thunder set was the OG Smackdown set with the giant fist.
@@bdenneysr85 the OG smackdown entrance is better, imo
The notification came dropping like a diamond cutter. Time for reliving the war with Wrestling Bios, excited for this one
I NEED that Blackman/cold as ice mash up. That's actually pretty dope.
I loved that entire opening for this RAW from the "State of DX" skit to the opening promo. As soon as Austin hits the ring the tone turns on a dime to 100% serious and it did a tremendous job at selling the Mania main event. The dumpster attack was interesting, but then they completely beat it into the ground showing replays over and over.
I legit remember being at this Raw show as a 6 year old. In the aftermath of the dumpster spot, I legit thought Cactus and Terry were dead.

The whole look of the roster out on and around the stage, wondering if Foley and Funk were seriously hurt, and Vince even seeming to treat it like Road Dogg and Gunn went too far, made it definitely feel real and off script.
@@coryshannon3815 agreed and looking back on it, the whole them running the ring later in the show in gowns with the IV poles kinda ruined it lol
@@rcharles317
Austin got thrown in a river and people loved it, the ratings and crowd reaction matters!
Are you sure Michael Cole didn't call in from a "local medical facility" ?
Love the show... a genuine highlight of the week. Thank you for your efforts.

Billy Gunn was over with the Smoking Guns but by 96 it was played out!

Thank you to Wrestling Bios for turning our Thursday into the new Friday.
This is the only channel I watch religiously every week!!!
I think on his little "OYDK" Podcast Road Dogg, thanked Mick and Terry for putting them over like that.
Honestly, thank the entire Roster, everyone came out to put that over, you had the boys brawlin' near the stage, Savio ridin' in the Ambulance, and Sunny out there screamin' n holdin' Terry's hand while he's "Convulsing".

Is that a SWWEEEEETTTT new intro to my favorite youtube series!?! Keep dealing out all the JAM sir!
I look forward to every Thursday just like I did Mondays as a kid. When this series is over I will go back and binge them all!
With the weather turning the living crisis we all have to endure we can always rely on Wrestling Bios to bring some joy to our lives Thanks Ryan we love ya x
Phew! I was getting worried for a minute that there wasn’t a new video 😂. Right on time, damn it! Thanks!
Best video series on the whole freakin internet right here. Thank you for making these
Best way to spend my day off. Let’s see which show has the JAM this week
I have spent the last year watching ALL of your videos and I am now watching the newest one all caught up. I love what you are doing on the channel and really enjoy your videos. It saddens me that now I gotta find something else to watch through my day. Thanks for keeping me entertained now I got the new videos to look forward to...
I just got caught up myself!
This show gets better and better. Thanks Bio dude!!!
Smackhead Kidman lol love your work and appreciate how much effort it must take keeping this up every week., every thursday is a trip down memory lane thanks to you.
This series is awesome to watch every Thursday.
My favorite part of the dumpster elbow drop was all the styrofoam peanuts flying out.
Your commentary and structure keep improving. Thank you for another trip down memory lane, this episode made me love Mick Foley
It’s Thursday! These videos always get my competitive juices flowing.
Love your show just started following you on Twitter thank for bringing back my early to last teens and early twenties you are the man
These videos always make me want to listen to the 90s RAW theme
I think Raven took his life advice from Johnny Polo. He clearly represents everything Johnny Polo stands for right?
Looking for this 100% correct answer. Glad it wasn't far down chat
The outlaw segments were absolutely brilliant
This stone cold promo is hands down one of my favorites the way Austin walks down and says he’s going to kick Shawn’s ass and take his title is amazing also when Shawn’s rips his muscle shirt and stone cold looks at him like really then in the end stone cold rips his whole tshirt off like a badass💯 🥶
I have to imagine that the man who gave Raven that advice has to be John Cleese when Raven competed in the Rat Race.
It's gotta be Thursday, I see a Wrestling Bios notification. Thanks for the show!
I always look forward to these videos, I’m reliving my childhood all over again. A lot of it I forgot, but it’s magical when you see it again and remember that time in my life. Thank you for making these videos, they are really well done.
First episode I am on time for. Oh Hell Ya!
Plus foreshadowing New Age Outlaws vs Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie at Wrestlemania XIV.
I watch a lot of wrestling channels and you, sir, are my favorite.
I've been enjoying your videos for almost a year now, although I was casually watching in the early 90's, 97-98 is where my wrestling obsession truly took off. I was graduating middle school around this time and we were all talking about wrestling. Good times!
A drunken (at that time) Jake Roberts laid such words of wisdom to Raven.
I've been dreading this day. While I watch your other content regularly I only started watching reliving the war a couple of months ago and I've finally caught up. It's an awesome series and now I'll be eagerly waiting for the new episode each week!
I love how this series has given Ryan (WrestlingBios) the recognition he's deserved for a long time. Best wrestling channel on TH-cam alongside OSW.
This might be blasphemy but I think WrestlingBios is much better.
@@WarlockX4 that's more of a taste thing. I prefer WB as well. But I acknowledge that OSW is very entertaining.
Considering Jake Roberts perfected the DDT, he's the wise man Raven was talking about.
Saw this uploaded and started singing the theme. I'm at work.
Thank GOD for Reliving the War on Thursdays because work kicked my ass today!!!
Two things: The Texas nWo shirt that Vincent was wearing was pretty sweet. And secondly, Cactus Jack suplexing that ladder onto Terry Funk stands out so much more now after hearing Mick’s latest podcast today.
I saw that DX promo years ago and it was awesome.
The fallout from the Funk/Foley dumpster bump was pure wrestling brilliance
This is Austin's first match on Raw since July 28, 1997.
Sting had that post-Starrcade match with Hogan on the December 29th Nitro.
@@didymus3348 Oh, that's right.
I always look forward to another episode of Reliving the War. I loved DX firing up the Outlaws and I can't wait for Scott Steiner's heel turn 👍
The plume of packing peanuts when cactus drops the elbow in the dumpster 🤣
Best day of the week it is Thursday again ! Reliving the war lets me enjoy the greatest Times for Wrestling All over again :)

Happy to see Disco Inferno again. Well done on the new intro graphic!
Holy cow it took me awhile to realize this was the first wrestling event I ever went to. The only WCW event I saw in San Antonio. Amazing it didn't click until the main event I remember seeing Sting and Savage.
"The show always goes on, no matter what happens." That gave me Owen Hart vibes.
I thought the same exact thing.
First thing I thought of
Oh God, I'm running out of episodes to binge! I'm not looking forward to having to wait a week for these... Might rewatch it from ep 1
Raven got the quote from his grandfather, Edgar Allen Poor Homeless Man
You gotta remember that Nash only knew 4 moves, so it's okay for him not to know what a powerbomb is.
Me: 😐
Me after the Reliving The War notification drops: 😁
Love Thursdays so much thanks to this series. The best thing on TH-cam! ❤
Great video 👍 ! Love when Thursday rolls around and I get this notification !
16:12 We sure are. I mean we had The Acclaimed doing it to The Ass Boys several weeks ago, the closest we got to a concerned reaction was Taz stating 'That's horrible' while JR was mostly fired up in excitement.
Mick Foley and Terry Funk being thrown off the stage in a dumpster is what I remember the most from this edition of RAW.
Back then people wasn't sure if it was real or part of the script
@@theshakter 2100 2036 next week
Loved that step-up hurricarana, very fancy move!
Newage outlaws bout to became one of the greatest tag teams of this era! They really find there spark
Raven was obviously quoting Optimus Prime from the movie Masters of the Universe directed by George Michael.
God i miss how fun and juvenile DX was during that period. You could never have that edge again in modern wrestling sadly.
Yea, that kind of humor is frowned upon and would cause the twitter retards to explode, and demand them two to be fired and taken to trial for being so toxic and problematic..
I was thinking: when we enter Wolfpac era of Nitro, does the Disco Fever segments get the Wolfpac edit?
the dumpster thing worked really well with how the other wrestlers were pissed. Hated to see Owen get beat up again, but it happened to Austin too. Classic promo at the beginning.
I really wish Disco and Alex Wright got pushed more. Their gimmicks were great and they both played it so well with great charisma.
That Steve Blackman remix theme song is lit I always hear that song in my head everytime I go to work
The Outlaws and Cactus/Funk dumpster spot was great, and how it merged them with DX afterwards was huge. All of it setting up the 8-Man Tag and bigger things in the future, RAW was starting to run on all cylinders at this time as it built towards Mania.

the mario mongo hops fuckin killed me … you pointing out mongos trash bumps throughout this series is really a hidden gem 😂
That DX state of the union reminds that one of the first TH-cam videos I ever saw was a TH-cam poop cut of that video
I respect you Bios Man! ❤❤🙌🙌🔥🔥
The best part of these outside of the amazing content we are treated to. But the jokes inside or regular jokes are phenomenal.
The part where you said Dave boy smith thought that sign meant! 🤣🤣 That’s pure Gold 😂
I am so stoked to be in 1998 with this series

Yes The Favorite Part Of My Week RTW Thursday
Damn!! The Funk/Foley spot was so serious, even when I was 23. They had EVERYONE convinced.
Raven got that advice from Heenan during a Prime Time spot as Johnny Polo.....
Thank you for all you do
