I've watched 106 episodes of this on my phone but to see the fallout from survivor series I've upgraded to my laptop. 15.6" screen for the absolute carnage ... I've got the JAM!!!
I couldn't help but cry of laughter with the Saturday Wright Fever "Forget Montreal Screwjob come to Alex's room for the real screwing of a lifetime." A+ on everything you do man! Cheers
You can really see how Rick Rude felt when he got that initial reaction at the start of Raw. He didn't give a standard heel reaction, but instead had what was obviously a "Come on, guys, I don't agree with what happened to Bret, either" look of disappointment to him. That said, really looking forward to next week's RtW thumbnail, because there's really no other choice than two Rick Rudes.
Yeah it’s weird how he had to praise Shawn and say Shawn “would never say I quit”. He redeemed himself the next week when absolutely buried Shawn on Nitro.
The NWO Canada segment was F hilarious!!! Henning really was trying hard to sing the best he could 😭😂 It’s also sad seeing most of these guys no longer with us in the ring!!! Thank you 🙏 @wrestlingbios for your dedication and hard work for helping us relive these epic Monday Nights brother….
I absolutely love this series. With the ability of hindsight, it's fascinating to see the long term struggles WCW was booking themselves into with the NWO. As a kid though, I was all in on both of these companies at the time. Thanks for doing this.
For sure ! Its great looking back on . I saw most of these shows as they happened , give or take . Untill WCW got so terrible i couldnt stomach it ! And as for Reliving the war , ive watched it religiously and look forward every Thursday ! I think all wrestling fans enjoy this series ! If not they are missing out !!!
I think that in years to come, this series will be heralded as some of the most important wrestling content ever created. It comprehensively covers the most popular period ever seen in the wrestling business. Companies will study this as a yardstick for their product going forward.
The consistency of your series is impressive, but even more so that I feel that you improve upon yourself by each and every new episode. Big fan of yours. Keep up the great work!
Boy, looking back now and it still feels surreal on what happened in Montreal and the entire fallout. Only WB can do the job in making this fresh as possible
Steve "Muhfugin" Blackman is definitely a new favorite running gag. I like how you can hear Bios smile when he says muhfugin. 😆 Great to see him finally show what he can do and that montage at the end shows just how great his fighting style was.
@@zacharythomason7359 I had an argument with my teenage son earlier this week about the attitude era being the greatest era of wrestling that has ever happened. It ended with me telling him to watch "reliving the war" so he could almost understand what I was saying
I know everyone has probably re-boooked The Hitman's introduction to WCW, but my feeling is he should have come in to clean everything up and formed a new Dangerous Alliance consisting of him, DDP, the Giant, and Ric Flair to combat the NWO.
This is the time Raw kicked into full gear. We about to see Mr McMahon character, the rise of the rock, the Stone cold on top, and what I recall the best interaction of DX.
The true start of the 'attitude' era in my opinion. Thanks for another great video. The Steve Blackman bit made me laugh so much I had a coughing fit and I don't have the Coof. Feel better lad.
This man got COVID but doesn't wanna miss uploading an episode.... What a legend! I've kept up with 106 episodes and can't wait for more to come. Get better my guy
Still have a soft spot for Goldust. Dustin never went above upper midcard, but I liked his bizarre character and even if not all matches were that great, he could deliver some vicious beatings.
"Keep that in mind next week." I remember flipping to Nitro during commercial breaks and when I saw Rude, and went back to Raw and saw Rude, I was like woah!!!
Midday workday hump... Cut to a reliving the war alert! 41 sublime minutes to follow... This will get me through to the final hour and a half of the business day. A perfect start to my holiday weekend! Feel better Ryan. Joey from NJ /USA
Watching RAW back then it really felt like the air was thick with tension. Backstage wrestlers like Mick Foley boycotted the show, Undertaker threatened to kick Vince's ass in a shoot, Bulldog, Jim The Anvil would leave immediately after. The ripple effect of the Montreal Screwjob was interesting and odd to witness in real time.
Just discovered your channel and this series and wow what an awesome way to relive the monday night wars. Got me binge watching these. Great work! Subbed. Also 22:33 - 23:08 broke me. 🤣😭🤣 Blackman was great.
Get well soon WB! Thank you for keeping this series going in sickness or in health. This channel is purely medicinal. You're Raven, while us Wrestling Bios fans are a flock of Kidmans, Van Hammers, and Sick Boys.
And here we all are again, Wrestling Bios: Reliving the War! What a delight. Everybody - I hope you're having a great Thursday, and let's enjoy some good old rasslin!
Love the content man. I first discovered your channel last year when I came down with covid. I stayed in my room away from everyone for a week just watching HOURS of your content. Thanks for all you do!
Its cool that Luger could start to turn the crowd, and his selling the knee was great. I used to really dislike Luger but this series has made me really appreciate seeing him in his prime.
Been waiting for you to cover this episode because this is the time I started watching and became a wrestling fan. Post-Montreal Screwjob. What a time to start watching lol! Amazing video!
@@zacharythomason7359 Yeah, but not to the same extent I used to. I don't watch full shows anymore. I just keep up with my faves' matches and storylines and that's it. I don't have time to watch all of the shows lol!
@@cyrus2546 I was only 5 in 1997 so I wasn't allowed to watch WWF. I only knew minor bits of info that my older brother, who was already a fan, would mention. Then on the night covered in the video, my brother sneakily let me watch the show with him and I became hooked because I loved Shawn and Chyna and the action in general. My parents eventually eased up and I watched it every week with my brother. We also played the video games and had the action figures. :)
@@xLitaFan4Everx I was 7 in 1997, I didn't know anything about the screw job because I didn't get to see wrestling regularly as I only had cable when I stayed at my father's house. I was a huge Bret fan as a younger kid, but I wouldn't come to appreciate the true extent of his greatness until I was able to access the Network several years ago and watch his full career. His matches with Diesel are some of the most underrated in-ring storytelling in the history of the industry. All because people like to pretend that Nash was all size and no talent, which is entirely untrue. He was just far too green for the title push he was given, but working with Bret brought up the ability of just about everyone he ever worked with.
The segment with Goldust and Vader isn't on Peacock and i didn't notice it missing til I watched this RTW episode... fortunately I was able to find it elsewhere... Thank you for all the time and work you put into these videos.. I appreciate it. take care!
This episode was so sad as it was confirmation that Bret Hart really was gone from WWF and wouldn't be coming back. I knew that no good would ever come of that.
I was a kid and thought it was part of the storyline even after Vince’s “Bret screwed Bret” interview. What made me realize that he’s really gone was when HBK and HHH bring out the midget dressed as Bret. That made me so angry that I stopped watching Raw until Tyson showed up in January.
I was in attendance at this Raw show and other than feeling we didn't get any clarity on what happened to Bret at Survivor Series the only thing I remember was The Rock calling himself The Rock for the first time. Looking forward to reliving the Austin/Rock rivalry!!
Watching Bischoff be so smug about Bret coming over to WCW makes how badly they drop the ball with him sting that much more. He was handed an actual golden apple at the height of the Monday Night Wars and tossed it in the trash.
Thanks for making this, hope you feel better soon. Wrestling was so amazing during this time period, and watching this series takes me back to my childhood.
This channel just popped up in my feed last week and this was my 1st video I watched. Now I'm gonna go back to episode 1. This is a great series. I subbed a couple of days ago in anticipation of this particular episide I was there at Raw. No idea of what happened the night before, until I got to the arena and heard what happened. Watching this brings back so many my memories. Lots sticks out about that night. I was 3rd row, camera side and 1 thing that sticks out was Kane's Pyro going off in the ring. It gave off tremendous heat. Never forget it.
To put it very lightly. WCW had a built in audience of fans from the NWA territories who appreciated in-ring action over cartoon characters and Bischoff just didn't understand that.
I was at this Nitro. All I remember was there were a lot of empty seats at the top, and before the show went live, they told us to move down to make the arena look more full on tv. During the opening segment I was confused because I didn’t know Bret Hart was leaving the WWF.
Good luck with the COVID, man. I had it after a convention a couple weeks back, and it lasted nearly 2 weeks. It was pretty mild, but it was just a constant annoyance.
I've watched 106 episodes of this on my phone but to see the fallout from survivor series I've upgraded to my laptop. 15.6" screen for the absolute carnage ... I've got the JAM!!!
Smart man. I just realized I could’ve been watching this on my tv the whole time.
that cannot be good for your back and neck
Sounds like you've been handling your Horsemen business

Or a meaty bratwurst?
It’s like Christmas every Thursday with this show…

Awesome show.

Thanks you every Thursday
I couldn't help but cry of laughter with the Saturday Wright Fever "Forget Montreal Screwjob come to Alex's room for the real screwing of a lifetime." A+ on everything you do man! Cheers
Wrestling Bios got Alex Wright over.
Hilarious, I could barely breath for a good 2 minutes.

Lex Kanyima Oh you’re in for a surprise.
Yeah it’s weird how he had to praise Shawn and say Shawn “would never say I quit”. He redeemed himself the next week when absolutely buried Shawn on Nitro.
"How can he be in two places at the same time?" 😂🤣
@@lenwennerberg1631 that's the secret of a successful horseman business
This just shows how wrestling was this best at the era of year. Its why everyone says the best times was from 97-01
Everyone? Hardly
The Alex Wright intro this week had me dying and rewinding a few times.
The NWO Canada segment was F hilarious!!! Henning really was trying hard to sing the best he could 😭😂
It’s also sad seeing most of these guys no longer with us in the ring!!!
Thank you 🙏 @wrestlingbios for your dedication and hard work for helping us relive these epic Monday Nights brother….
This was THE night I went to WWF. The Rock and Austin just hooked me mate, nothing I could do. What a time to be a wrestling fan
What an event to have gone to! I have the unfortunate honor of having attended the invasion ppv.
@@z216ghost I believe he's saying this was the show that made him a WWF guy, not that he was physically there
@@lexkanyima2195 missing the entire Bret and Austin rivalry is rough
Yes it was a great time to be a fan. Anyone at a high school age like me in these years def had memorable monday nights
@@cyrus2546 I know man. I went back and watched it all afterwards. Bret was the man!

And as for Reliving the war , ive watched it religiously and look forward every Thursday ! I think all wrestling fans enjoy this series ! If not they are missing out !!!
Yeah, it's painfully obvious there was never plan. They were just riding the nWo wave as long as they could.
I think that in years to come, this series will be heralded as some of the most important wrestling content ever created. It comprehensively covers the most popular period ever seen in the wrestling business. Companies will study this as a yardstick for their product going forward.
And rightfully so. The amount of work which goes into this channel is incredible
I just cannot stop laughing at Alex Wright and that silly dance. 🤣
It's hilarious.
The birth of the Stone Cold and Rock rivalry. Wrestling Bios on Thursdays is the gift 🎁 that keeps on giving
The consistency of your series is impressive, but even more so that I feel that you improve upon yourself by each and every new episode. Big fan of yours. Keep up the great work!
Love how he's grown and shown more of his personality as this series has gone on

We're getting closer to the period I started watching more regularly as a kid for the first time. I can't wait!
What do you think about today's product do you still keep up with it🤔🤔🤔
This is exactly when I started watching every week, precisely right after taker vs Michaels hell in a call
@@zacharythomason7359 I had an argument with my teenage son earlier this week about the attitude era being the greatest era of wrestling that has ever happened.
It ended with me telling him to watch "reliving the war" so he could almost understand what I was saying
@@mattk3654 Has he been watching it so far?
ahh yes, it's that time of the week.. yet another GLORIOUS episode of "Reliving the War" 🔥🔥🔥
I know everyone has probably re-boooked The Hitman's introduction to WCW, but my feeling is he should have come in to clean everything up and formed a new Dangerous Alliance consisting of him, DDP, the Giant, and Ric Flair to combat the NWO.
Well anything would have been better then the way it got handled.
He wouldn't have coexisted well with Ric.
Maybe Luger instead of Flair
“Hopefully we see Renegade and Roadblock join the Flock”
😂 That had me dying. But it would make sense, Raven did say the “unwanted” of society lol
The entire Taker v Kane saga for the next 3 years is some of my favorite bits of RAW at the time. Look forward to seeing it evolve further.
This is the time Raw kicked into full gear. We about to see Mr McMahon character, the rise of the rock, the Stone cold on top, and what I recall the best interaction of DX.
We only see hints of it from November to February. March (after WM14) is when he really goes into full heel mode.
The true start of the 'attitude' era in my opinion. Thanks for another great video. The Steve Blackman bit made me laugh so much I had a coughing fit and I don't have the Coof. Feel better lad.
This man got COVID but doesn't wanna miss uploading an episode.... What a legend! I've kept up with 106 episodes and can't wait for more to come. Get better my guy
Still have a soft spot for Goldust. Dustin never went above upper midcard, but I liked his bizarre character and even if not all matches were that great, he could deliver some vicious beatings.
The fact he’s still going and is one of the best technical workers in the business is remarkable.
Best day of the week! I actually feel like I'm watching wrestling again, waiting for these to drop!
Yeah I know what you mean , this is best wrestling show on YT.
@@Roger-Bacon true on that my dude
Facts
Just a suggestion, the thumbnail of your next video should be two pics of Rick Rude, one on Nitro and other on Raw
SPOILERS!!!
Someone pin this comment
I was thinking the same thing earlier in the week.
He saw this or great minds think alike lol
Power of hindsight, the madman did it 😂
That Steve blackman thing has made my day I hope that's a new thing in the series
the night after one great rivalry ended & the seeds of another great rivalry was being planted in wwf
Oh yes who can ever forget the great rivalry of mero and armed 🤪😂😂
I’m not gonna lie I love watching reliving the war this is my childhood so thank you for all the work that you do
"Keep that in mind next week." I remember flipping to Nitro during commercial breaks and when I saw Rude, and went back to Raw and saw Rude, I was like woah!!!
I never experienced the 90s wrestling but this series has been golden your a legend for all this hard work 👏. Your a jammin guy I must say.
The day we no longer get Saturday Wright Fever will be the saddest day of Reliving the War.
Though we have to get through the Berlyn period, the Big Bratwurst will likely stay until close to the end of the series.
I just finished reading The Death of WCW, and we're in for a rough ride come 1999! 😳😔
By 98 it was over
@@ITGShaddyMaCC exactly, by November of 1998 it was over. Survivor Series ended it.

Get well Soon man, love these reliving the war videos. Hope you feel better for the next one ♥
Butter bean rockin that bill Cosby sweater! 😂
ive always found this as the real cementing of the attitude era...... well that and that vice speech thats coming
The beginning of the Attitude Era is much more gradual than the WWE tries to make it seem.
This was the beginning of the greatest in-ring rivalry of all time.
Watching RAW back then it really felt like the air was thick with tension. Backstage wrestlers like Mick Foley boycotted the show, Undertaker threatened to kick Vince's ass in a shoot, Bulldog, Jim The Anvil would leave immediately after. The ripple effect of the Montreal Screwjob was interesting and odd to witness in real time.
Also perhaps ironically it led into the biggest boom period in wrestling history.
Welcome to Thursday Afternoon Reliving the War. The best wrestling show on the TH-cams. Thanks again for a great show and trip down memory lane
We need a Sting movie review.

Did you realize that night that the screwjob was not a work?
That Steve Blackman bit popped me 😂
I love listening to these as I cook dinner.
Funny! I'm pretty sure Butterbean is wearing the same sweater Biggie had on in the Source magazine.

Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels rivalry ended on November 9, 1997.
Steve Austin vs The Rock rivalry began on November 10, 1997.
Taka Michoku still wrestling to this day in NJPW its amazing how he still going
Thanks for making this, hope you feel better soon. Wrestling was so amazing during this time period, and watching this series takes me back to my childhood.
The imdb rating for the movie tells me it must have been great. 7/10
I never cared for Alex Wright back in the day. This channel has made me a fan and given me Saturday Wright fever!
