I started watching in 98 as a kid and I remember seeing trading cards, stickers and arcade machines from 95-97 with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall as Diesel and Razor and to me the artwork and presentation looked campy like it was still stuck in the 80's, I could not tell the difference between 80's and early to mid 90's WWF. I wasn't that interested in anything up to 96, but 97 was and still is a mythical and fascinating year where the landscape was morphing into the WWF I knew. I remember seeing a tape at my friends house from 97 with Vader, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels thinking "who are they!?" really wanting to see more of them in Attitude era WWF. I live in New Zealand so content, information and coverage was sparce so yeah 97 was this mythical year I always wanted to see more of but couldn't.
@@kylemcgill2966 Same!! I think the wrestling gods woke most of us up and told us to start watching wrestling(WWE) again. I came back right before the Mike Tyson angle.😁
1997 is upon us, Glacier haunts WB's thoughts, the Nation is making its presence known, and Jushin Liger has become a mainstay on RTW?! What a time to be alive!
An unannounced appearance by the phoney double J allows the first person who calls it out to pass a double shot to the player of their choice. Addendum: No party shall watch either episode in it's entirety prior to the official start of play.
But yeah seriously you're right Is 1997 is going to be great We're gonna say some of the best WCW stuff.... We're going to see wwe're going to see wwe're going to see wwf raw get better and better and by 98 will start to dominate.. wcw will come in as the hotest promotion in history and will start to crack by the end of 97
@@jamesrich3426 modern day..... doubtful.... 1997 definitely.... We're going to have the emergence of Stone Cold Steve Austin.... The rock is going to start to carve out his legacy..... 97 and 98 definitely one of the hottest times in wrestling
Frantic strategic channel changing! Imagine, at he time we all thought that we could actually miss out on something and never have an opportunity to see it again.
Scorpio/Flash Funk is one of the most underrated wrestlers of all time. His moveset was absolutely marvelous! Why doesn't he get more love and recognition!? I never understood that. Another amazing video, WB. 💜
@@sionlow69 plenty of people can love wrestling without knowing who every wrestler is, much less when we're specifically talking about underrated, under appreciated, and under utilized wrestlers, who haven't been on TV the past two decades.
Wow this is the last night of 1996. I can’t wait to see how much better 1997 for the series is gonna be since it’s one of the best years in wrestling history!
I'm trying to watch this like it's the first time I've ever watched these shows... So I'm rooting for a big Glacier push and that by Starcade 1997, he'll karate kick the nwo out of WCW. Also, I'm counting on a big Marc Mero push in 1997!!
"Vega's Chin has nearly fallen off at this point, but he perseveres" dude I can't stop laughing I ran that line back four times already and laugh harder every time I hear it 😭😭
Never in my life did I ever think that every Thursday I would be excited to see a TH-cam video being posted. But this series is something I always look forward too. Ryan thank you for making these videos! When I’m in a better financial situation, I will without a doubt become a Pateron Backer!
Your humor in this 1 is brilliant man! I was belly laughing from bell to bell haha Also, am I the only one that sees the uncanny resemblance in Charlotte Flair and a young Triple H????

@@eberechieze9030 Actually I own a restaurant and catering business and I'm always busy. While I'm smoking brisket and ribs I'm listening to the best wrestling channel on TH-cam, Wrestling Bios
I turned 20 on that day. By then, I had stopped watching wrestling though I vaguely knew what was happening. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for this series so I can catch up on what I missed back in those days.
So glad 1997 is finally upon us. I literally started watching around Jan-Feb 1997 when i went back to school after Xmas holidays. Everyone at school was talking about WCW and WWF. In Your House 13 Final Four was my first WWF PPV
You couldn't pay me to watch Raw around this time. There was far too much intrigue on Nitro and performances that I had never seen in professional wrestling before IE Malenko and Mysterio.
It's still bewildering how quickly WCW dropped the ball and went completely downhill in 99 it'll be interesting to see wrestling bios commentary when we get to WCWs death march
Me and my friend used to tape both shows, flip between on Mondays and rewatch both shows later in the week. Lol back when cheater boxes still existed so we got to see all the ppvs
Last week we had "Eric's little executive producer" and this week we have "Bret's little Calgary hitmen." These both are funny as hell! But I'm going to have to give the point to little executive producer. That one was just comedy gold lol. This series has been a true joy to watch!
I just recently came across your channel and I doubt you'll see this comment, but keep up the great work. It's been awesome reliving my childhood watching these shows battle it out the same way my friends and I would argue over which brand was better. The Glacier pressed UP+HK line had me laughing like crazy. 👍
Thanks for this series. I found this a while ago and binge watched as many as I could and it made me want to go back and watch Nitro as I mainly watched Raw growing up. Keep it up man.
I’d love a year end review. Like who you felt was best/worst wrestler, best/worst promo, best/worst champion, what was the best episode you saw, best PPV. Love to hear your perspective on the whole year.
1997 and 98 were my two favorite years for pro wrestling!! I can't wait to see and relive every match from both of those incredible years!! Love this channel🔥😍😁🤘🤘🏿🤘🏽⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What's wwe's peoblem? Wanted to watch the bulldog vs hitman on summerslam video and they striked it before I found time to watch it! If you do a re upload I would appreciate it! Thanks anyway for your content! If I wanna know something about wrestling history, you are my first source I use!👍👏😉
Thank you for another brilliant video I look forward to Thursday's. Watching these videos is the highlight of my week. Looking forward to next week's video.
We are almost close to 1997 where everything really starts getting interesting on both shows.
I'm so excited. I started watching in 96 but 97 and 98 are untouchable for both companies.
Glacier vs Mortis and Mil Mascaras in the Royal Rumble.
Shame about the other stuff, though.

@@InsomniacRocker 11 for me but yea I get your drift!!!
Can't wait I was 8 that year
We need a reliving the war drinking game and "No, not the Quebecers" should definitely be a square haha
A drink for every chin lock
every nwo and dx appearance too
It needs a chin lock counter as while
An unannounced appearance by the phoney double J allows the first person who calls it out to pass a double shot to the player of their choice.

Season 2 of the game every time he says nwo or dx... prepare for liver failure
"Riot in a daycare centre" Bobby Heenan was pure gold
Really enjoy the narrators comedic angle throughout this reliving the war series. Great stuff.
Lol better than some of the episodes that happened.
He's definitely getting more fun and less monotone. He must be getting tips from markyd123
His for fucks sake! Lol
Yeah when he called jeff jarrett a swine the other week i nearly choked 😂
*siiiiiggghhhhh*... The Bootyman
I like to think that Bios edits his videos while wearing a leather jacket without a shirt, just like Brett.
You're just jealous that you cant pull it off
naw naw that chain outfit HBK be wearing either way definitely jealous lol
Listen to him, the man is clearly dressed as Friar Ferguson.
Sure but is he wearing those shades?
@@underpressure07140 Where's the pink shades?!
Ahmed Johnson channelling Ned Flanders' uncomfortablly revealing Ski outfit
Glorious
Can't wait to see coverage of 1997's feud of the year. That being Glacier vs Mortis of course :D
Haa!
😄👍

The "Oh,.. fuck's sake" when you have to mention Glacier gets an immediate thumbs up for the video 🤣🤣
This series is about to get really good once 1997 gets rolling. Best years of tv I ever watched.
Frantic strategic channel changing!
Imagine, at he time we all thought that we could actually miss out on something and never have an opportunity to see it again.
Video topic suggestion: A career retrospective on 2 Cold Scorpio.
I always love how, despite being a fairly big guy, dude moved like a cruiserweight.
Also, a very long career from someone that nobody really knows all that well.
The video would take too long to document the amount of times he whooped Hawk's arse
Collision in Korea would need a video to itself
Dude seems to just float through the air
“A riot at a daycare center” Bobby Heenan had no filter 😂 I’m so excited for 1997!
Scorpio/Flash Funk is one of the most underrated wrestlers of all time. His moveset was absolutely marvelous! Why doesn't he get more love and recognition!? I never understood that. Another amazing video, WB. 💜
He's still out there on the Indies putting on very solid matches.
Agreed, but anyone who loves wrestling knows how good he is, only casual fans won't appreciate Scorpio
Good worker. But eh didn't have that good personality that could make a him a super star
@@sionlow69 I'll appreciate him.
@@sionlow69 plenty of people can love wrestling without knowing who every wrestler is, much less when we're specifically talking about underrated, under appreciated, and under utilized wrestlers, who haven't been on TV the past two decades.
"Chub-Zero."
Also, 18:49: "Sincere Rules!" Imagine your favorite wrestler being... Salvatore Sincere.
Spectacular “Bret’s Rope” reference my dude. So quick and effortless 🥰
HBK carrying the title with the same pride and class as the Hitman was an April fool's joke.
FINAL FANTASY VII BATTLE VICTORY SONG WHEN BRET GETS TAGGED IN!!!! You’re a man of culture 🙏
Absolutely Brilliant
😄👍
Made the whole video for me!
I always laugh at the "The amazing French Canadians, no not the Quebecers" part. Thanks again for sharing.
"Shawn uses Bret's own rope against him."
Can of coke to you sir.
A Winner is You
WHAAAAAT BAAAAARRRRR?
This just shows you how often the giant been doing the heel and face turns in his career and still going smh
I really don't know, what I will do when this series ends, in four years time, I'm already dreading it. Love reliving the wars.
He will do Remakes
There's always TNA VS WWE Monday night wars episodes! 😂
Yep.....i think they will push Glacier into a ridiculous winning streak too. Like 157-0 or aomething like that before El Dandy beats him.
,,,,,,,,,,
He can just do Raw vs SD which will be good stuff for a good while.
"The ref gets distracted by Jon Jones" had me cracking up
Another Reliving The War? To quote Sid, "THANK YOU MY MAN!"
The final reliving the war episode of 1996. Felt like an eternity.
Sid gets the Mic and starts channelling his inner Bobcat Goldthwaite...😆
Gotta love Sid, he always seems to have the most unintentionally funny moment
“Chilly McFreeze v John Travolta” genius 😂😂😂
Wow this is the last night of 1996. I can’t wait to see how much better 1997 for the series is gonna be since it’s one of the best years in wrestling history!
It's very significant to end the year of 1996.
I can't wait to see the year 1997: The birth of DX, the debut of Goldberg and Kane, and of course our favorite, the infamous Montreal Screwjob.
I'm trying to watch this like it's the first time I've ever watched these shows...
So I'm rooting for a big Glacier push and that by Starcade 1997, he'll karate kick the nwo out of WCW.
Also, I'm counting on a big Marc Mero push in 1997!!
Same here.
and raw going to 2 hrs in feb 1997 will make things better and can really judge which was the better show
@Vincent Verona and the Nation of dommination
“Main event time, Goldust vs Jerry Lawler on RAW. *Whispers* fucks sake”
🤣🤣🤣
I just hope at some point, Glacier does an uppercut just so we get a "Toasty!"
"Vega's Chin has nearly fallen off at this point, but he perseveres" dude I can't stop laughing I ran that line back four times already and laugh harder every time I hear it 😭😭
“Chilly McFreeze v John Travolta” - lol!

I actually started rewatching episodes along with him. I got ahead of him a bit and once i hit 97 i couldn't stop. I blew through them all.
I turned 20 on that day. By then, I had stopped watching wrestling though I vaguely knew what was happening. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for this series so I can catch up on what I missed back in those days.
Let’s go 97 here we come! Can’t wait for the Hart Foundation
Ric Flair in casual clothes is always so funny. The grampa energy just goes through the roof.
Giant should've been like, "Motherfucker, my name is still on the goddamn belt!"
So glad 1997 is finally upon us. I literally started watching around Jan-Feb 1997 when i went back to school after Xmas holidays. Everyone at school was talking about WCW and WWF.

A great time to start watching!
The CHIN LOCKS were savage this week. Philosophically, what do you do when life has you in a CHIN LOCK?
@Razgriz the Mandalorian I am more likely to put my foot on the lower rope
Welcome to Thursday Afternoon Reliving the War!!! Thanks again for making Thursday a great day in TH-cam.
Crazy to think I've been watching this for a year now. Awesome series man, and keep up the good work.
As an eight year old at this time me and my friends used to run around the school playground shouting “WE ARE THE NATION OF DOMINATION.” Good times.

It's still bewildering how quickly WCW dropped the ball and went completely downhill in 99 it'll be interesting to see wrestling bios commentary when we get to WCWs death march

Me and my friend used to tape both shows, flip between on Mondays and rewatch both shows later in the week. Lol back when cheater boxes still existed so we got to see all the ppvs
I have a friend that’s same age as me 35 and has never heard of WcW can you believe that ???
@@tx_outlaw7951 how’s this possible?! Lol
"No not the Quebecers, The Amazing French Canadians." Probably my favorite line every week at the moment.
The Hitman needs sunglasses to watch along ..lol the little things like that is why i love this channel
I look forward to these every Thursday. I truly appreciate your work man.
Savio Vega sure loved his heel kicks 🤣🤣
"Glacier v Disco Inferno - dancing on ice." Superb.
I died laughing 😂 "chub zero"
This is an amazing series. Look forward to it every time. Some of the best wrestling content

this series is worth the last bit of my internet data till it renews
Expertly edited, extremely funny and also very informative. Love your content 👍😎
The Nation Of Domination has finally made a tv match.
‘Bitter cold bastard!’ in tears! 😂😂😂
I love how the Glacier match review has some type of MK music in the background 😂
The Rey Mysterio/Malenko match actually looked crazy!
If that wasn't against such a big promo that'd be taking an easy point everyday
Bro really played the final fantasy music on the Bret tag 🤣🤣🤣
Every time I get wrestling Bios notification, I think to myself..... Whaaaaaaat a Russshhh.💪
BEST PRO WRESTLING CHANNEL ON YT
WWF vs WCW '96-'01 best era EVER
Thanks again for the awesome show Wrestling Bios! I can't freaking wait to relive 1997 all over again.
97, here we come in multiple ways
I love the intro the old Ruthless aggression raw song.
This is why I love Thursdays!!

That was legit one of the best super kicks I’ve ever seen.
