I was there and somehow missed the leg breaking. I was so confused when he got pinned after a double axle, then terrified when I saw it on nitro the next day.
i'd love to see your own personal WCW omg top 50 moments (and WWF too for that matter) moments could make a decent little mini series - maybe just to avoid repetition you could just mention what this dvd got right and elaborate more on the moments that weren't brought up in these two vids
@@IronTitantrons I was just going to say the EXACT same thing! That he should do that when wrapping up RTW, as kind of a retrospective on the MNW years.
I cannot believe they left out Sting coming down as The Crow or even the formation of The Outsiders. Apart from those glaring omissions, I do believe Hogan turning heel is WCW’s biggest moment. That was the point where WCW staked its claim in history.
Except it wasn’t that great. Not to ride on with it that far. WCW was boring. They got rid of their best talent to WWF. And WWF made them stars. Wcw was stuck in the 80’s with 5 minute matches. Lame asf. Austin, Jericho , Good ole JR came from wcw and let go. Bc they wanted the left overs from WWFs past thinking it would do em good. Watching wcw fail is better than pornhub. Any day
In my opinion, McMahon made a huge mistake when he didn't keep ecw, wcw, and wwe as separate entities. There's endless possibilities for crossovers, invasions, and multiple title holders from the 3 companies
This, in theory, would have been really good. The issue would have been. If by “separate entities” you mean separate shows. It would require additional TV time. Another 2-4 hours per week. Had Smackdown or Raw went to WCW or ECW. One of them at least still needs a 2 hour show each week. It would have to be on the same network WWF was on at the time, due to contractual factors. It’s doubtful they would be given that time. Over exposure would be another issue, with three brands on 3 separate nights. As would PPV sales, each brand would have at least one PPV each per month. It would be very costly, just to have them cross over from time to time. There’s also the issue of the pirate episode of WCW Raw getting very poor ratings. The plan was originally to make Raw a WCW show after the buy out. However the plan failed miserably.
Wasn’t Vince’s fault. All the big time players in WCW Opted out because they still had payable contracts from Turner. The talent ruined it from being bigger than it could have been.
@@j.rivera6402 tbf if anyone has a guarantied contract, to sit at home, do nothing and get paid mega bucks for it, everyone out there would do the same too. It meant they got to be home with their families. Instead of on the road.
Technically, Vince didn't own WCW as an entity. AOL, after the merger with Turner, closed WCW down. What Vince bought was the WCW IP and catalog. He didn't buy the wrestlers' contracts. That would've costed him a lot more money. So, what Vince owned was nothing more than a name and a lot of video tapes. What Vince did after the sale was draw up new contracts with whichever WCW wrestlers he wanted to appear in WWE. And that's all that happened. Vince didn't buy the whole of WCW. AOL shut it down. So, Vince didn't kill WCW; a giant corporation headed by guys in expensive suits who didn't watch wrestling and didn't care to have wrestling in their portfolios killed WCW.
In a way they did try that when they cared so much for the brand split with Smackdown and Raw. But people didn't seem the care or put too much thought in it, since they wanted stars on both shows or one star to fight another.
Especially with the context of Jericho seemingly running Malenko out of WCW and making fun of him every week. In a bubble, it may just be too sweet though.
Just seeing how things were different back in the 90s is truly amazing. I mean no offense to the wrestlers of today but the people from this time period are just far better. Even the way everything looks is better. So much personality and atmosphere, with a mix of great stage production.
Dean Malenko was BELOVED by the WCW live crowds. They watched his family for years and had a real appreciation for the history of the business and Dean's place in that history, not to mention how gifted he was in ring. I always preferred WCW when they gave enough time to the in-ring virtuosos like Dean, Benoit and Guerrero. Dean was SO gifted and so worth watching.
I agree with this list. I can't wait to see the videos you create from the ideas this one brought. It also makes me wanna go back to the very beginning of the R.T.W. series and start it over. 🤘🏻
The nostalgia pop from Reliving The War is great fun - but I also enjoy when you cover parts of wrestling history that I don't know as much about. So a Blanchard / TA video sounds awesome and I would also love to see more about Flair / Funk in their prime. There must be a whole untapped goldmine of rivalries for the ages you could use to change things up a bit. To keep things fresh and new - go old-school.
I watch all the career/feud documentaries but Magnum vs Tully getting covered sounds like a good one. Enjoyed this overview of 50 moments with some insights and analysis.
I believe the Fingerpoke of Doom should be a top 10 WTF/OMG moment because of what it meant. This is the night where not only did Mick Foley/Mankind win the WWF title(which was spoiled by Schivone), WCW pulled the wool over everyone's eyes by having this joke of a match. And as we all know, this was the catalyst of when the Monday Night Wars started to turn in the favor of the WWF. The Fingerpoke of Doom was quite literally the first nail in the coffin of WCW.
Starrcade was the first nail in the coffin.. hogan sting match was flawed beyond belief, they have Bret Hart debut as special guest ref for Bischoff Zybysko?!?
WWE would never have added this to the list but referee Mark Curtis stopping a fan from interfering in a match and choking him out is definitely one of those OMG moments. You would have never known from his size and demeanor that Mark trained and performed as a wrestler himself and was not somebody to mess with. It was just so unexpected and awesome that the commentary team had to acknowledge it
Being a 90’s kid, I was a hardcore wwf fan and never cared for wcw. Now in my mid 30s I’m discovering wcw and I have to say I’m getting that same feeling of excitement watching this stuff.
YES ! I cant wait for you to do a vid on Tully and Magnum ! Id LOVE to see yu do more oldschool stuff on occasion ! How about Eddie Gilbert and Lawler ? Or Horseman vs Dusty stuff ?
Entertaining DVD release, liked the matches and segments, as you didn't see many of them on other releases, would have thought that the Uncensored 1996 Cage Match would have been mentioned
Of course, everyone sees these differently but when they happened live, a lot of these were definitely OMG moments. My friends and I were all yelling this during these moments. Years later they may seem “sweet” but we all yelled OH MY GOD when it happened live
I was so convinced they'd have number 2 as number 1. Also I feel like Malenko and Arquet where OMG moments for me, the second as in OMG I can't believe they've done that.
More like the WCW can't believe how badly this was booked moments. On a side note you should definitely review other top moments or best of certain match type series dvds or blu-rays.
I'm sure that if WCW fans created the ultimate Top 50 OMG moments in WCW history, it would look way more different than this list that the people from WWE have put out here.
Did anyone else get a chill when he said that the final episode of WCW will be the last episode of Reliving the War? Like we know it's gonna happen, but it's crazy to think this weekly series we watch that's bringing us back into the past, that we're reliving again or for the first time will come to an end just like it did back then. Enjoy this era we're in because we're in the best right now.
Reliving the War won't end for another 3 years, so it's fine. lol At least I know well in advance, this time, that it's going to end. Back when Nitro ended, there really wasn't much warning.
We always here the bit about how Bischoff wanted Nitro to be "more realistic" to compete against the WWF. But then they have the dungeon of doom, yeti, etc at the same time.
Not for nothing but that Tully Blanchard/Magnum TA I Quit match IMO is the greatest match in professional wrestling history. Shame Magnum had the car accident because he was on his way to be a Rick Flair type superstar. His matches with Nikita Koloff were legendary as well. He needs to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
If you take into consideration the storyline that built up for Jericho and milenko.... With Jericho talking as much crappy as he did about the death of Malika's father and how he trained Jericho, and all of the other buildup of the storyline to that moment... in my opinion that's an OMG moment that crowd pop is what made it all worth it
Rick Rude was an amazing heel. His feud with Sting back when he was in the Dangerous Alliance was must watch for me as a kid. I was a huge Sting fan as a kid(had the surfer haircut and all.) That era with him against the likes of the Dangerous Alliance, Cactus Jack, Adullah the Butcher, Lex Luger and at some points Ric Flair...must watch stuff for me...I still re-watch a lot of it. Awesome video as always. The Yeti was one of the most ridiculous things I had ever seen. The Shockmaster....I would have fired the person who thought that would be a good idea instantly.
6:00 gotta thank the ladies on this one, Nancy's reaction alone showed that she was dedicated to her craft & believed in the direction they were going with the beginning of all The Bruthuring nwo stuff. The ladies really sold it.
17:40 The next morning on the bus ride to school and once we got to school, this was like all me and my friends were talking about that day lol! Like we legit were so hyped that we got to see such a match on Nitro and we basically saw one of the biggest matches in wcw history at the time and maybe ever not on a PPV, but on Monday Nitro!
Nobody should care about Ron Simmons title win in 1992. In 1991, the Rodney King incident happened when some Asian guy filmed it and is now in the Witness Protection Agency. Then, Los Angeles was burning to the ground in 1992 after the trial to clear the officers of any wrong doing. It was also the same year that Los Angeles would be divided into ghettos or whatever somebody else wants to call it. This move to give the title to Ron Simmons was to bring down tensions in the arena should Ron Simmons NOT win. The WWE was NOT taking any changes. Only those of you that did NOT experience the early '90's first hand would NOT understand or believe this at ALL!
I personally feel the streak breaking is an OMG moment. I mean it didn't help the ratings or lead to anything special but as a moment when it happened... It gave the feeling of OMG for sure.
RIP Rick Rude and Scott Hall, two great workers, who could also cut spectacular promos, alas neither truely reached the top and both careers were cut short.
Everything WrestlingBios drops is gold
Oh Hell Yeah!
Seconded
He's got the Jam.
You better God damn belive it
It’s true
Sid breaking his leg at sin then jarrett, steiner and road warrior animal continuing to beat on him after he did, was definitely an omg moment for me.
I was there and somehow missed the leg breaking. I was so confused when he got pinned after a double axle, then terrified when I saw it on nitro the next day.

Feel like that'd be something good to do at the end of the Reliving the War series when it comes in about 4 years or so.
@@IronTitantrons I was just going to say the EXACT same thing! That he should do that when wrapping up RTW, as kind of a retrospective on the MNW years.
Shockmaster never fails to bring a smile to my face.
he fell on his arse
Forever ruined.
Loved that Dean Malenko part, that looked INTENSE!
I cannot believe they left out Sting coming down as The Crow or even the formation of The Outsiders. Apart from those glaring omissions, I do believe Hogan turning heel is WCW’s biggest moment. That was the point where WCW staked its claim in history.
I can maybe see your point with Sting but I think Scott Hall's war declaration basically encapsulates the Outsiders by proxy anyway.

Didn’t part 1 have Sting rappel down from a helicopter as his crow gimmick?
The list was made by WWE.
@@mrdude88 That's a good point. I don't know if that was the first appearance, but it was in part one. I still think that should rank higher.
Bro! I want to take the time out to say thank you! You're wrestling content has brought up so many fun memories of my childhood. Thanks man 🙏
Feeling like hell today but wrestling bios makes it better and puts a smile on my face everytime.
Hope you feel better man.

Especially with the context of Jericho seemingly running Malenko out of WCW and making fun of him every week. In a bubble, it may just be too sweet though.
I loved Dean Malenko. He was ice cold.
Just seeing how things were different back in the 90s is truly amazing. I mean no offense to the wrestlers of today but the people from this time period are just far better. Even the way everything looks is better. So much personality and atmosphere, with a mix of great stage production.

The man of 1000 holds
Another great taste of my childhood, delivered! Great job, as always!
Bios is batting 1.000 with his vids, literally everything is really fuccing good and gives me something to look forward to every week
Nash doing the Arn and Sid Vicious impersonations makes me laugh every single time.
I agree with this list. I can't wait to see the videos you create from the ideas this one brought. It also makes me wanna go back to the very beginning of the R.T.W. series and start it over. 🤘🏻

Ron Simmons winning the WCW title is still one of my favorite moments as a longtime wrestling fan.
Definatly one of the most emotional wins in history.

He wiped out numerous fans… he had an amazing knee lift.
Absolutely agree! Loved Curtis.
Being a 90’s kid, I was a hardcore wwf fan and never cared for wcw. Now in my mid 30s I’m discovering wcw and I have to say I’m getting that same feeling of excitement watching this stuff.
I followed WWF until Montreal.. but I was a fan of both when Savage went over to WCW.
I laughed my ass off when Nash said " I have average carpentry skills"....
I can hear you smiling during The Shockmaster segment. Love it.
I LOVE the addition of WCW/NWO Revenge menu background music.
Maybe my favorite YT caption gaffe ever:
Wrestling Bios - “Ted DiBiase”
Captions - “Teddy Beyoncé”
#4 got me into wrestling full-time. I just watched in passing when my dad had it on before Starrcade '85. But Magnum v Tully made me a fan 4 Life!
Medusa's moment for sure, the declaration of War against the WWF.
And Scott Hall's entrance was truly historic.
Yes the Shockmaster made the list 😂!!
YES ! I cant wait for you to do a vid on Tully and Magnum ! Id LOVE to see yu do more oldschool stuff on occasion ! How about Eddie Gilbert and Lawler ? Or Horseman vs Dusty stuff ?
I was super looking forward to this! Great vid as always bro
I would definitely rate Goldberg defeating Hogan clean as an OMG moment.
I can listen to the original Nitro theme all day long without getting annoyed
Every Bios release is a OMG moment
Great I get to watch before I head to work
Keep up the great work, brother. You've got the jam
Hell yea been waiting on this
Das Wanderkin and Disco Inferno are my top 20 WCW moment’s
Mensch Junge das heißt Wunderkind.
Been waiting for this. Thanks as always for great content. See you Thursday.
Lol you have a "Michaels Stash Bag" as merch, absolute genius.
Been a stressful day. But all is good because Wrestling Bios has uploaded!
Scott Hall coming out that first time was huge. Since that was before the Internet the average fan didn't really know what the heck was going on.
I just got finished watching the last video yesterday. Nice.
Great video after great video. Keep up the good work man
Easily my favorite wrestling channel
We have the JAM!! Great way to end my night just got off a long night of work and get home to find this on my feed 🤘👍🏻🙏
This is an amazing Series
I would say Scott Steiner turning on his brother and becoming Big Poppa Pump, the rampage he went on after winning the title was just insane
Entertaining DVD release, liked the matches and segments, as you didn't see many of them on other releases, would have thought that the Uncensored 1996 Cage Match would have been mentioned
Of course, everyone sees these differently but when they happened live, a lot of these were definitely OMG moments. My friends and I were all yelling this during these moments. Years later they may seem “sweet” but we all yelled OH MY GOD when it happened live
Wrestling bios vids are always " 2 sweet " 🔥 🔥 🔥 😎🤟
I was so convinced they'd have number 2 as number 1.
Also I feel like Malenko and Arquet where OMG moments for me, the second as in OMG I can't believe they've done that.
Every time WrestlingBios uploads a video, it's a instant OMG! moment. Props to my fellow countrymen.
The integrity of Rick Rude bailing on the WWE after the Montreal Screw job isn't talked about nearly enough.
People talk about The Shockmaster so much that it's no longer funny. I mean, it was a simple accident 🤷
Shane McMahon deserves an OMG moment for wearing a turtle neck by a pool 😂😂 that image has stayed with me since I was 10 years old
Ron Simmons winning wcw title was one of the biggest pops ever then whole arena blew up
7:00 Medusa tarnished the Woman's title. Well I think the WWF did a good job of doing that themselves before Medusa left.
My good friend Heidi Lee Morgan deserved a title run.
You make the best videos my guy
More like the WCW can't believe how badly this was booked moments. On a side note you should definitely review other top moments or best of certain match type series dvds or blu-rays.
Awesome woke up from my nap to this notification, awesome.
Do not speak of the ending of Reliving the War. It will be like a death of a family member.
I'm sure that if WCW fans created the ultimate Top 50 OMG moments in WCW history, it would look way more different than this list that the people from WWE have put out here.

Rodman in WCW doesn’t get enough credit. He put in decent work.

The Shockmaster debut you can even hear Ole Anderson trying to catch his breath after laughing when he got back on the mic lol 😂
You can also hear Davey Boy in the background saying "he fell on his arse. He fell on his f*ckin arse".
Your next episode of WCW Blunder should actually be about The Powers That Be! I never saw it and only heard about it, should be an interesting view.

He literally tossed Mysterio like a lawn dart. LOL

Amazing video

😅 I sorta skipped through part 1 and laughed out loud when you started this one by saying "50 OMG moments or NOTABLE INCIDENTS" 😂
Well played sir
I'm glad The Shock'ster made OMG 👌🏽
I personally feel the streak breaking is an OMG moment. I mean it didn't help the ratings or lead to anything special but as a moment when it happened... It gave the feeling of OMG for sure.
Ur a sneaky enthusiast, never dreamed u'd cover starcade matches!!😁
omg i can’t believe this is all gonna finish with omg moment number 2 😭😭
you should collab! maybe wrestling with wregret or partsfunknown. you and jim cornette’s podcast have brought back the wrestling fan in me!
Now we need the top 50 wwe omg moments!!!
So buzzing for this man
@Stephen Greenhorn Bring in on WHAT
Time for another Wrestling Bios video!
