Reliving The War takes a look at the entire Monday Night War between WWF and WCW. With Raw is War airing on the USA Network and WCW Nitro airing on TNT fans had to choose which show to watch, resulting in both organizations getting caught up in a weekly ratings war. Reliving The War compares Raw and Nitro matches and promos weekly to see which show was the best.
This week's Nitro takes place 2 days after Souled Out '98 and Macho Man Randy Savage isn't happy with his nWo teammates. Lex Luger battles Scott Hall in the Nitro main event, and Davey Boy Smith makes his WCW return with a match against Steve "Mongo" McMichael.
The WWF are enjoying a ton of media attention thanks to the actions of Stone Cold Steve Austin and Mike Tyson last week. Steve Austin addresses Tyson on this week's episode of Raw. Owen Hart gets a shot at the European Title but he doesn't wrestle Triple H, and the New Age Outlaws take on Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie.

You know this is something special when 95% of comments are just thanking you for doing what you do. I can’t even think of another comment section on TH-cam like this.
Well put.
Magnum pot pie gets the comments too
Not me!!!! Im not leaving a comment like that!!! Wrestling bios sucks! Im not thankful at alllll!!!!! But these people in new york need something to cheer for.... because the NY JETS suck!!!!! And the NY Rangers do too!!!!
Absolutely Thank you for this series it gets me through the work week
Today is going to be a great day when you forget it's "reliving the war day" and you get the notification.
It always comes by so quickly like i blink and its the next week
Lol bro that just happened to me and I'm like yes!
I just had a similar thought. This guy's the man. Best wrestling channel on TH-cam imo
Same here !
So true
I'm a simple Jam Up Guy. I see a new Reliving the War, I immediately start it up!
Amen brother!
HE'S AN ANIMAL
Man that Vader vs Vader match shattered my reality. How could they clone Vader so effectively like that?
The WCW/NWO Revenge music in the background of these videos always hit me with crazy nostalgia
What an unbelievable grind! I haven't watched wrestling in over 20 years, but every Thursday around 2:00 PM, I'm ready! Thank you for that!
Realest comment I've read on here💚
You a real jam up guy!
This series is so much fun to watch it's been awesome seeing how far this series has come since the first episode.
Goldberg managed to overcome the odds to defeat Brad Armstrong. He is now 116 and -1.
In span of 4 months
I was at this Nitro. It's the only WCW event I ever attended. 24 years, 8 months later and this is the first recorded footage of this night that I've ever seen. I've been waiting a long time for this episode. Nicely done, as always.
This reminded me that I went to a Nitro in 1998 looked up the date and remembered it was the Nitro before Road Wild. I had a sign that said "Hogan whoop Leno's ass" and the guy checking signs made me get rid of the word ass so it ended up saying "Hogan whoop Leno" and was so glad I phrased it in a way that it still made sense when I tore off that part of it 🤣
I was at this Nitro too. I was still in high school back then.
Can't watch the whole thing on peacock??
😂 that Pantera bit killed me every time
I was disappointed. I thought Brian Christopher was gonna take on all four members of pantera
"Not now, boss. Reliving the War is on."
Bret going to wcw broke my heart as a kid, and it never really felt like he fit in there
Bischoff hired him although he had no idea what to do with him.
What a "genius".
@@henrygvidonas9573 neither did vince but he brought in tyson get the hell outta here with that bs
In the immortal words of Ice Cube everytime Wrestling Bios uploads another video. "It was a good day."
For some reason I vividly remember the Kane/Vader fight more than any other Kane squash. Kane was so unstoppable at this point and I thought Vader was one of the last remaining forces that could stop him because of his size and how he actually put up a fight against Kane. To me, this solidified Kane as being absolutely invincible and genuinely terrifying.
Vader was winding down dramatically.
@@lexkanyima2195 and then he went back to kicking ass in AJPW again
@@dweebyllo8615 true
He and Bam Bam were booked better in Japan.
@@lexkanyima2195 Oh no doubt. For young me though, this was the first time I remembered seeing Kane come out and just destroy someone just as big as he was.
Among the bajillion absurd things with how WCW was booked at this point:
Mongo, a man who had been wrestling for all of two years at this point, being the representation of all that was good and pure, with Davey boy smith being the upstart usurper.
Completely forgot about the NWA retirement tour part of Raw in the early 1998 (sorry Jim cornette)
Jim hated the storyline and felt that it was out of place and anachronistic because the NWA had become practically close to meaningless by 1998. I believe, in Jim's view, this was just Vince McMahon making fun of a defeated broken former competitor, just like he did later (but worse) with the WWE-WCW brand or ECW after he had bought it. If I'm not mistaken, being written into this storyline was yet another point of contention added to his conflict with Russo, too. Then they made him manage a WWF version of The Midnight Express, with no actual Midnight Express members. That must have really felt insulting to him - and he never managed anyone at ringside in the WWF again.
The main reason why WWE-WCW never worked, was that Vince just couldn't stop "winning the war" over and over. He just had to compulsively humiliate and demean WCW again and again, instead of using the brand and it's former stars intelligently. The WCW audience largely just went away, instead of joining and growing the WWE audience.
That Mongo and Bulldog promo. Perfection.
I was about to quit watching after Bulldog showed up because, you’re right, it won’t get any better. Then that Mufugger promo came out of no where and I decided to give it a chance, and then was totally enthralled by that Vader vs Vader match.
Seriously, your commentary on these videos, your humor and presentation is freakin spot on. My favorite channel and series ever. Thanks man.
Macho Man is such a ridiculous over the top persona, when he's flustered by ordinary things like opening an unfamiliar car door its super hilarious 😄 Hell's goin on here?🤣🤣
this series re-sparked my love for wrestling and i've started watching live shows each week for the first time in 20 years
Agreed!
Take a shot everytime “Vader” is said 😂.
Love this series btw
Bedtime on a Thursday and you remember there's a fresh "Reliving the War" to fall asleep to is the best unexpected treat
The King of Chin Locks has returned
Just recommended this series to two friends over the weekend. One of then is already up to episode 48. Thank you so much for this series!
I started it a little over a month ago.. just got caught up
A couple of jam up guys!
@@mafiaz187 It's kick or be kickin' out here, so I"m just trying to help as many people as I can lol
@@InfectiousGroovePodcast yo is this Steve muffuggin Blackman or something? You’re killing the game dawg
@@InfectiousGroovePodcast I friggin miss psycho Sid man! Lmao
Love the opening video. Undertaker, Alex Wright and Bret Hart. The three pillars of the Monday Night War.
My favorite series on TH-cam. Thanks as always, Wrestling Bios.
Bulldog's going to give Mongo a lesson in Chinlockin'!
The commentary on that Vader vs. Vader matches one of the best moments of this series. I had the biggest smile on my face for the whole damn thing.
The Owen victory against "HHH" was a very good idea.
I am missing the bratwurst on these recent episodes. You're intros for Alex Wright were amazing! 🕺🏼
1998 one of the great years in wrestling history...WWF with the Austin/McMahon saga, DX becoming more popular also battles with the nation, Taker doing Taker things, etc....WCW still had some good stuff going on with Goldberg becoming the man, Nwo vs Nwo even though it was a set up to a reunion, etc....Not to forget ECW was good at this time too..
Best overall year for wrestling. WCW and ECW hadn’t gone to hell in a hand basket yet.
@@dukes1993724 and in general
I like how the bear walked by during the "Mark Henry Big Grizzly Bear Hug." Would've been even better if the bear's mouth was moving to say those words.
I'm finally caught up with these. It's going to be weird watching these weekly and not instantly, but I'm excited.
How far back do they go
@@seanlamar29 since August 2020. I started watching in June.
Oh, but the feeling of getting a notification of a new Reliving the War is a great one.
Imagine never having been able to binge these because I've been watching him since before he launched this series. Haha. I'm so glad this series has brought in so many viewers for him, he does great work.
I thoroughly enjoy this more than actually watching modern wrestling shows.
Just in time!! Best series out there!
A Thursday tradition like no other
I try to say this as often as I can. You have no idea how many of us look forward to these. Thank you so much
It’s always a good day when you get to see that Reliving the War intro that always gets me so pumped for the episode I’m about to watch just like the intros to Raw and Nitro did as I watched them growing up.
DX “State of the Union” is next week? Chalk up another W for Vince and Co.!
Your Reliving the War uploads always line up perfectly for my lunch hour every Thursday
I lived through this era and have rewatched a ton of these Nitros, but I'm somehow astonished that Ray Traylor is still in WCW. I exclusively think of him as being on the WWE side of the war.
6 months away from your current upload and I wanted to share a quick opinion
This RTW series will go down as one of the best TH-cam series in the history of professional wrestling. It's not an exaggeration, it's not a prediction, I just feel it to be true based on the hard work you've put in as well as the amazingly positive responses you get
Thank you Wrestling Bios 💙
I think the Owen Hart/Goldust match was a really cool idea. I din‘t watch wrestling at all back then. Seeing this today, I think it was a cool move. I also think Dusty Rhodes was always a great performer. Hecwas one of the few guys I liked back in the early 90s when seeing WCW for the first time and later in the WWF, though I really learned very late that he was Goldust.
Again, I really appreciate ‚Reliving the war‘. Thanks for that show.
Golddust is Dusty's son Dustin.
@@Thor-Orion my fault. Autocorrect struck again. Of course I meant Dustin Rhodes.
@@klausschneider9963 all good, I just wanted to double check since Dusty was still working in WCW in the early 90's.
Luna's Chyna cosplay is a rare look at how she's actually pretty under all the fright makeup. This isn't taking away that her aesthetic was so iconic, and maybe some of you found that attractive too. But yeah she rarely did this, so if you never saw this or her pre WWF years you would not have known
the Terry Funk moonsault was epic
I started this series earlier this month and watch it everyday. So much history and so much jam. Thanks for the best content on wrestling
This TH-cam channel is better than anything that's going on in wrestling right now.
Almost at my favorite WCW PPV as a kid, Uncensored 98!
Vader vs Vader commentary was amazing, laughed a lot
32:46 Your use of a sonic soundbite has increased your channels enjoyment for me.
Absolutely loved the vader part.
Seeing this notification makes every Thursday a great day! Fills me with such childlike joy.
"Hey Wrestling Bios, how often can you say 'Vader'?"
Wrestling Bios: "Yes"
Time to take another awesome trip down memory Lane Reliving The War is here
Anyone else have Reliving the War is part of their weekly routine TV intake? RTW is on the top of my priority list of what i watch every week. Thursday's are great for me. Paycheck hits my bank at 2am so i have it to start the day Notifications on RTW uploads and I relax n unwind after work and watch.
Can't believe my alma mater hosted an episode of Raw in 1998. For anyone who doesn't know, Davis is a agricultural college town of about 50,000 people. It's kind of amazing that within a few months Raw goes from running small stadiums in college towns to being one of the hottest shows on television.
Did not know that 🤔🤔🤔
And running medium venues turned out to be awesome for WWF, because the crowd in WWF shows was so much hot from summer 97
"Finally, our Lord and Savior can have matches against some of WCW's finest and show 'em _what lockin' chins is all about"_ lmao. That is the best way to phrase that
*PLEASE* make "Show 'em what lockin' chins is all about" a T-Shirt😄
Time for another episode of Reliving the War! Davey Boy is back!
goldust pulling double duty. can't imagine how banged up he was after that night. thanks for the new video!
Thanks for putting so much work into these videos!!
19:53 dude I didn't think I could love this channel anymore.....that brief clip of awesome proved me wrong. 🤘🏻👿🤘🏻 the mighty CFH. Forever stronger than all!!!
Another Thursday and another trip down the memory hole. This is reminding me that not everything in the Attitude Era was golden.
Kevin is a lowkey comedic genius for yelling Attica during that bit after hitting the powerbomb 😭
new subscriber appreciate you taking the time to do this, brings back so many good memories being a kid with no worries
Saw this pop up before work and decided to wait. Just got home and now my day is complete. Awesome job! Keep it up!
Just got home, been waiting all day to watch this! You guys are beasts!
Dude your episodes are getting better and better I love the little things you're adding to the show
Darnn right when I was about to click on another video before I get back to work the video pops at the right time on the right day every week. Looking forward to this episode
You make Friday Eve a day I look forward to every week ......thank you for everything you do
I’m going to cry when this series ends
Dude thanks a ton for making these good job
Here I am visiting Belfast wandering about with Wrestling Bios on my earphones shamelessly thinking "I wonder of Wrestling Bios guy is near here..." lol
Hey Wrestling Bios, today was a tough day for me, but your content always makes me smile. Thanks for another excellent upload.
Love your channel, been a fan for years, but it's really come into its own with the Monday Night War is at its peak and it's great reliving the episodes each week
Literally the only channel I'm subscribed to that I instantly watch when I see the upload. Reliving my childhood while reliving the war!
Good stuff as ever, always look forward to each episode that comes out.
This channel is far better than what WWE/AEW are doing today. Period.
Love your diligent work my man!! Look forward to your shows everyday!!
His is real muthafuckin life
That New Age Outlaws vs Cactus/Chainsaw match was fun stuff. Only way to make it better is if Terry Funk was certifiably drunk
Starrcade was WCW's highest rated PPV ever. Which means this is the high point for WCW.
Alex Wright was last seen at said Starrcade where Sting beat Hogan. He was in the audience watching with other wrestlers.
So it's all downhill from here.............and still no Das Wunderkind.
Coincidence? I think not.
The Vader vs. Vader commentary really got me right. Nearly choked laughing :D
I love this series
Thanks Ryan for all u do! These videos are incredible
15:01 "Vader gets power bombed by Vader,Vader kicks out from Vader"... brilliant 🤣🤣👏🏿👏🏿
It's thursday, And i was definitely waiting for this!
I loved the ‘hunter dust’ moment and the move by Sgt slaughter. Brilliant idea, very entertaining
Mark Henry's "big fuhkn grizzly bear hug" and Pantera "ohhhh c'mon!!" had me laugh out loud literally
Been watching since Wrestling Lists!
Fuggin hell man
Best Lunch Breaks of my life!
Youre a great job with these weekly shows
I knew a Steve Blackman shirt was comin 😂😂😂 you're awesome bro!
Concerning this week, The Outlaws v Cactus/Funk match was one of my favorite moments during this time, when they went bananas at the end.
It's also interesting how time compresses in my memory, the Sting/Hogan feud and The Giant's neck injury against Nash I remember in a different timeline than the build up towards Mania 13, but here they are happening simultaneously.
Yet, watching this whole series, really solidifies how poorly WWF used Vader over these 3 year. He'd have a 4-5 week program or angle that was amazing, then 4-5 months of absolutely nothing, and that cycle would repeat over and over. Vader/Yoko/Monsoon, then nothing. The Fatal-4-Way, then nothing. Camp Cornette vs HBK & Babyfaces, then nothing. Shamrock, then nothing. Now Kane, soon nothing again. How could they not figure out how to use him consistently.
Great to watch "Reliving The War" once I finish my university week and kick off my weekend.
As a kid I always wanted a La Parka/Psychosis/Mortis stable. Now I realize why it'd never work, but hey, they all appealed to me as a little kid.
Loved the short sharp Pantera inclusions everytime the wrestler Pantera gets a mention. Excellently Executed.👏👏
I was never into WCW, I was always WWF Attitude. Wrestling bios has opened up so much more wrestling than I ever knew existed. You Sir are more than worth your weight in gold.
This for me is a treat always look forward to this unlike to days wrestling brings back great memories every Monday night sitting by the fire with my brother's good times
ive been binge watching, absolute top tier content
The doubleganger commentary was pure gold! I love it!
It's been a long time since we last saw Alex Wright
We’re gonna be in serious withdrawal once the series is done with. The production quality here is off the charts!
Hell yeah man. Love your work!!
This Channel, Shadiversity, Console Wars, Internet Today, and Cinnemassacre I think are the only channels I actually have notifications turned on for. I like to download the episodes for later, and I don't like unimportant notifications.
