I can understand you being over your limit with the hours you put into this series for us. Let me be another one to say how much we enjoy it. Your work does not go unappreciated.
This should GO to show you how big of a wrestling audience there is out there.. I think we get lost because of media today, not everything is the same as 20 years ago.. Today it's not about being seen the second the video is released but more about the fandom that watches on their own time, we're still here, we just have more options of watching when we need to watch on our demand and I think the same could be said for Raw & Smackdown. I know Alot of people who watch the shows, the following day during work.
Across the Nation baby! These guys (The Union Underground) had a really solid debut album and then got lost in the shuffle when their label got bought by another label. You probably know their big hit "Turn Me On Mr. Deadman."
@@artmaggeddon WCW weren't interested in long story arcs -- they just wanted the ratings brought up immediately, and they did go up every week after Russo/Ferrara arrived. It wasn't my cup of tea, but more people did watch the few months he was there.
The year I started watching. I can still recall how blown away I was as a 7 year old kid watching Triple H vs The Rock in a ladder match at SummerSlam that year...loved HHH's purple pants. Can't wait to relive this year!
I started watching in 1999. Got into it because all the boys in my new Jr. High kept talking about The Rock and Stone Cold. I had no clue what or who they were talking about and felt left out, so I started watching and became obsessed with wrestling. Eventually I wanted more and more, so I started watching ECW as well. No regrets at all.
We are now in 1998. Probably THE year for pro wrestling across the board. All 3 companies were ON FIRE in this year: WWF, WCW, ECW. 1997 is ALSO a fire year but it took time for WWF to transform into a better state throughout the year. 1998 was the year where you couldn't go wrong on any wrestling show that aired on TV. 1999 is when WCW started falling apart & WWF pulled too far ahead which is why I'm so nostalgic for 1998.
@@12345Yeah You’re absolutely right. For the past few months I’ve been rewatching this era in order. I started with January 1997 and am now into August of 1998. As much as I still like WWF in 1998, 1997 was far better. I literally just watched the Choppy choppy your pee pee episode of Raw. Ugh.
What's interesting is that in 1985 , We had 2 Barbarians, One in Mid South(John Nord) and another one in Mid Atlantic under the management of Paul Jones. Over 12 years later on Nitro, they have a match.
My wife's grandma passed away early this afternoon, so this upload is a much-needed ray of light on a very dark day. Thank you for doing what you do and be sure to hug your loved ones!
Sick with COVID and this was the only thing I had to look forward to today. WrestlingBios probably doesn’t truly know the huge impact he has on us fans of his channel. I hope he really does.
I got arrested in 2012 in Pennsylvania and Steve Blackman was my bail bondsman man. Gave me a lift to my house from the jail too!! Epic memory!! He ran a MMA gym back then.
You know what I love about this channel, it's the impression that you really have fun with watching wrestling but your deadpan delivery of your lines just make me laugh, it's just so blunt. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Stay strong and take your time. 1998 is a big year for your fans and wrestling fans alike and we are here to relive it all with each other and we respect your craft and your ability to bring us together. 🤟 you make the jam , you hold the chin-locks 🤟
Wrestling BIos : "And this one is special, because tonight we see a Goldberg chinlock." Me : "Does this make it the Goldielock??" I'll see myself out now.
Seeing Owen in the thumbnail reminded me that there's going to be a very special episode of Raw in a year and a half from this point that was still technically part of the Monday Night Wars... 💔
The drawing of Cripple H on that sign looks like that Owen Hart impersonator in the DX promo when they were impersonating the Nation of Domination. I loved the story behind Paul Bearer's state of being
I remember the beginning of this RAW so well! It was the first raw I ever watched after spending 1997 watching WCW. The Sting Hogan stuff had gotten stupid and a friend told me about a guy named Stone Cold Steve Austin I might want to see on WWF. Such great memories!
I was there live for Nitro. The ring announcer hyped during commercial breaks that a former WWF tag team champion would be debuting.....I guessed either Bulldog or Neidhart which was obviously wrong but they both showed up not too long after. After the show went off the air there was a Megapowers vs Sting/Luger dark match. Great stuff.
I have many fond memories of 1998. It's the year I became a major wrestling fan. I'm especially looking forward to all the coverage for 1998 and beyond on the reliving the war series.
Ah, happy childhood memories to this serires in general. My father was a fan of sports, soccer, boxing and also wrestling! Was a family thing we did in the evenings~
@@michaeloraghailligh4785 Nash says that the guys would do Nitro, then go to a bar to watch the replay and put themselves over. Sounds like that would've been fun to see. Maybe even better than the live broadcast.
I became a wrestling fan a little after wrestlemania 14, I just turned 6 at the time and I had no idea this existed before. Also I had a bedtime of 9:30 at that time and thank god my taped it each week for me to watch the rest on Tuesday and thank god for Smackdown the following year. But being able to see how storylines came into play from 95 onward, I just have to say thank you because I didn’t have the patience to watch every Raw episode from 95 to WM14 plus the PPVs, so your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed man
Anyone else get Jay and Silent bob Vibes from DX this week, maybe I’m just thinking to much but great episode as always, definitely the best series on TH-cam
I live in North Haven, CT like 15 mins from the New Haven Coliseum where this show was & I went with 5 friends from HS. Fun to look back. I got to see a ton of WWF/WWE shows at the New Haven Coiliseum before it was demolished in 2006 or 2007. Saw my first ever show there in 1985. Amazing memories to have
More great content to end my work day with. Love it. I only hope that when Vince is revealed as the higher power that bios reveals himself. Even in cartoon form
He has in a previous video, his names Ryan, he done a video months ago talking about himself, like an introduction and how the channel works. You’ll be able to find it if you look at his previous videos, it may have been about a year ago.
1998 was a year which saw… -Everyone get into wrestling for the first time… -People play N64 titles like Yoshi’s Story, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA, Kobe Bryant in NBA Courtside and WCW/nWo Revenge (still considered by many to be the best WCW video game to this day) and PS1 titles like Resident Evil 2 (still considered by many to be the best title in the Resident Evil franchise to this day), Spyro the Dragon, MediEvil, Crash Bandicoot: Warped and Metal Gear Solid… -Five of the world’s greatest divas (Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Aretha Franklin and Shania Twain) share the stage together LIVE on VH1 (scoring the network its highest ratings ever, just one day after RAW ended Nitro’s 84-week ratings win streak)… -“Stone Cold” Steve Austin become WWE Champion for the first time in his career… -NASCAR celebrate its golden anniversary (culminating with Jeff Gordon winning his third NASCAR Cup)… -Films like Mulan, A Bug’s Life, Godzilla, Lethal Weapon 4 and Armageddon rule the box office… -Michael Jordan play his final game with the Chicago Bulls (who won their sixth NBA championship that year), the Denver Broncos finally win their first Super Bowl in franchise history (ending the NFC’s 13-year Super Bowl dominance), the Detroit Red Wings win their second consecutive Stanley Cup and the New York Yankees win their 24th World Series… -Seinfeld say goodbye after 9 years… …and… -New TV shows like Teletubbies, ESPN Friday Night Fights, The King of Queens (which starred Kevin James, Leah Remini and the late Jerry Stiller), Dawson’s Creek and The Powerpuff Girls hit the airwaves.
I remember John Nord had quite a run on WCW worldwide before being fed to Goldberg. The way they presented worldwide in the Netherlands was crazy. With some women in a leather outfit giving the intro and outro.
Recently found this amazing channel thanks for everything you guys do. I have every WCW/WWE ppv (or premium live event I guess) up to date. Watching these in between has been a joy, it's like going back in time watching the weekly shows leading up to the ppvs.
Interestingly enough Vince Russo wanted the NWA stuff on raw to prove to Jim cornette that it wasn't 1985 anymore I'm a big cornette fan but Russo had a point here

The best thing about Thursdays; watching the 'Reliving the War' series!
i really wish it would be on mondays instead so we could have something to look forward to at the beginning of the week again
Facts
The best thing is reliving the bible new TH-cam show bios is making
Reminds me of waiting for smacking n thunder Thursdays💚
A quarter of a century later and I'm still banging my head every time the Raw is War riff starts.
Coincidentally, that was the last time Raw was watchable.

My after work drive home
I work evening shift at a hospital and this usually hits as I'm eating my breakfast/lunch. I'm lucky lol
I concur!
Micheal Keller, oh hell yeah! This is how every Thursday starts for me!!
Can’t wait for DDP vs Henig tonight!
This channel has INCREASED my love of Steve Blackman and Alex Wright and I’m so for it 🥰
The year I started watching. I can still recall how blown away I was as a 7 year old kid watching Triple H vs The Rock in a ladder match at SummerSlam that year...loved HHH's purple pants. Can't wait to relive this year!
my 1st wrestling memory is Austin throwing the IC title off a bridge.

Hey Reliving the War, my first child, a baby boy, was born this morning on a Reliving the War Thursday. Thursdays are real special days!
Name him Alex, after Alex Wright!
(Or Glacier. But, nah, go with Alex.)

Still the Undertaker dragging Shawn into the casket is still a classic for RAW
We're finally in 1998, the biggest year arguably in the wrestling business.
Bout damn time
It was the first year Russo was Head Writer by himself. Got a lot of peoples wages up that year with the increase in casual viewership.

That's quite a transformation for John Nord. I would've never known he was the Berserker, even with the boots 😁.
HUSS
When I saw austin do the strut back in 98 I was laughing my ass off🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Thank you so much for watching". No sir, thank you so much for putting together & putting out this top tier series. Superb.
One of my favourites years. Really looking forward to this year look back.
Stone Cold Steve Austin stunning Jeff Jarrett and mocking the strut was priceless 😂😂😂😂😂 lmao
Sick with COVID and this was the only thing I had to look forward to today. WrestlingBios probably doesn’t truly know the huge impact he has on us fans of his channel. I hope he really does.

You keep up with today's wrestling?
@@zacharythomason7359 yes I do.
I always felt Rick Martel was very underrated, solid Midcard guy. Loved the model gimmick
Should have feuded with Tito for the IC belt after StrikeForce broke up. For sure deserved an IC run.

Keep up the great work.
1998 the only year where both companies were truly going back n forth & not onesided like 1997/1999/2000 ratings wise
When Eminem said "then just study a tape of NWA", the 1998 invasion wasn't the one he was talking about
Lol...
Plot twist, eminem really wanted us hit a suplex on our enemies and not a drive by
Finally…:. The Bios has come back to Thursdays. And finally we get can relive the war.
Yeah, you 1000000% botched that comment, starting with using the Rock's catchphrase.
Booker was really good around this time. I like how he made a simple missile dropkick into a credible finisher.
When the NWA arrived, I was so excited!! Can't wait to see the Rock and Roll Express with Tommy Young working as offical.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Stay strong and take your time. 1998 is a big year for your fans and wrestling fans alike and we are here to relive it all with each other and we respect your craft and your ability to bring us together. 🤟 you make the jam , you hold the chin-locks 🤟
The big bang is on the road
1998 begins and this year is where tides begin to turn for both companies
My favorite year!!! This is the year I started watching wrestling 1998
This was the time I got back into wrestling after not watching for 5 years what an exciting time to be a young fan .
It says a lot about the quality of these videos that “Shawn Michaels’ fanny pack” has gotten over lol. Love it.
Oh. The start of what could have been a comeback for Rick Martel.
Just sparked my blunt waiting for this show to come on
Things are really starting to heat up. We're getting into the best months of wrestling history. Man the Steve Blackman content is gonna be amazing.
I miss this era. 1998 is when I was introduced to wrestling and boy do I miss it
I know a lot of people loved 1997 but 1998-99 WWF will always be my favorite.
Did you start watching in 1998?
1998 is one of the best years in history of professional wrestling. Let’s start this journey!
Haven't missed an episode in months. Thanks for the nostalgia, your efforts are greatly appreciated ✌👍
I abide.
Smack head Kidman lookin like he’s waiting to score 🤣 💉 💨 🩸
Just wanna comment
Savio was released from the
Hospital a couple of days ago,
Good Luck to the Legend in the future🙌
I love the whole Steve Mufuggin Blackman thing.
I have university classes from Monday to Thursday, and "Reliving The War" is always the perfect way to start my weekends.
Wrestling BIos : "And this one is special, because tonight we see a Goldberg chinlock."
Me : "Does this make it the Goldielock??"
I'll see myself out now.
I have to agree with Josh Knels, this is the best thing about Thursdays on TH-cam. This has been a fun and great series to watch. Thanks for the video
Been driving for over 14 hours today just waiting to watch this. The highlight of my day
Nothing will ever top the WWF in 1998
Seeing Owen in the thumbnail reminded me that there's going to be a very special episode of Raw in a year and a half from this point that was still technically part of the Monday Night Wars... 💔
That's going to be heartbreaking to relive that one again.
1998 and 1999 were timeless years. I truly enjoyed the movies, shows, music, games, toys, and the wrestling
99 was a horrible year for wrestling
Wow, you enjoyed a whole lotta trash. Respect 😂

Instant like for RTW from me, loving this program since the start

I need that Steve Blackman background theme in my life, hopefully in a future music remixes video

Editing alone has just gotten so solid over all this time now. One of these days, I'd like to shake this man's hand.
this is by far my favorite build to a royal rumble with Austin
Thanks for doing these videos
The Steve Blackman intro gets me every time.

1998 was a year which saw…
-Everyone get into wrestling for the first time…
-People play N64 titles like Yoshi’s Story, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA, Kobe Bryant in NBA Courtside and WCW/nWo Revenge (still considered by many to be the best WCW video game to this day) and PS1 titles like Resident Evil 2 (still considered by many to be the best title in the Resident Evil franchise to this day), Spyro the Dragon, MediEvil, Crash Bandicoot: Warped and Metal Gear Solid…
-Five of the world’s greatest divas (Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Aretha Franklin and Shania Twain) share the stage together LIVE on VH1 (scoring the network its highest ratings ever, just one day after RAW ended Nitro’s 84-week ratings win streak)…
-“Stone Cold” Steve Austin become WWE Champion for the first time in his career…
-NASCAR celebrate its golden anniversary (culminating with Jeff Gordon winning his third NASCAR Cup)…
-Films like Mulan, A Bug’s Life, Godzilla, Lethal Weapon 4 and Armageddon rule the box office…
-Michael Jordan play his final game with the Chicago Bulls (who won their sixth NBA championship that year), the Denver Broncos finally win their first Super Bowl in franchise history (ending the NFC’s 13-year Super Bowl dominance), the Detroit Red Wings win their second consecutive Stanley Cup and the New York Yankees win their 24th World Series…
-Seinfeld say goodbye after 9 years…
…and…
-New TV shows like Teletubbies, ESPN Friday Night Fights, The King of Queens (which starred Kevin James, Leah Remini and the late Jerry Stiller), Dawson’s Creek and The Powerpuff Girls hit the airwaves.
😂😂😂
Wow we finally made it to 1998 and both shows have already got off to a hot start 98 would be a big year for both companies ..I'm hyped
I about pissed myself when you started talking about Paul Bearer. 😂 William Moody RIP
I request you to compilation create a video with the segment where you declare final scores from episode 1-50 50-100 and so on
That hammerlock reversal by Rick was the best thing on WCW this episode
I could watch this opening a million times and it would get continuously better every damn time love this so much.
@WrestlingBios love your approach towards Thunder (and presumably Smackdown)
This whole series is about the MONDAY Night Wars, after all!!
The peak year of the War begins.
The best wrestling history on you tube thank you from. All wrestling fans
Thursday nights are finally about wrestling again.
The Bret and Flair feud was really good imho. Unfortunately the Hitman's run in WCW drops off pretty quickly afterwards... :-(
I remember John Nord had quite a run on WCW worldwide before being fed to Goldberg. The way they presented worldwide in the Netherlands was crazy. With some women in a leather outfit giving the intro and outro.

Welcome my friend. Wrestling Bios is the best channel on. TH-cam. Not just the best wrestling channel, but the best channel period.
The Austin segments in this RAW were some of my favorite. This RAW is a classic that I'll always remember.
something about stunners on shamrock always sold me
The NWA invasion in the WWF would've been very interesting and it's great seeing how far reliving the war has become ever since the first episode.
17 DUIs? Jeff hardy hears that as a challenge lol
Fingers crossed for Thunder vs Smackdown when this series is over in like 2 or 3 years 😁
Interestingly enough Vince Russo wanted the NWA stuff on raw to prove to Jim cornette that it wasn't 1985 anymore I'm a big cornette fan but Russo had a point here
Cornette is still waiting for his beloved traditional wrestling to return lol
Bret's little grin at 30:51 is great. That is a man with jam to spare
Been waiting for 1998 best yr ever
And that's my Thursday made! Great video once again!
