This series aims to cover every single match and promo during the whole Monday Night War.
It's the Nitro go home show before Spring Stampede and WCW have a few surprises in store; Sting has promised to make an appearance and we're going to learn the main event for the big pay per view.

Every week i look forward to this but the upsetting thing is we are getting closer to losing Owen a true legend RIP
Indeed. Sad. Gone too soon
Yup not looking forward to that episode
Yep 😢
I was thinking the same thing that was the saddest episode of the attitude ever
Not looking forward to that episode either. That night still haunts me to this day just hearing about Owen.
Always found it funny that one of the first things you see in the new-logo WCW is Goldberg rocking a pullover with the old logo on it.
That Rock sequence before the match is hilarious. IN two weeks, he'll be 100% heel promoing Stone Cold and the crowd will be eating it up.
He and Austin were never presented as buddies until much, much later.
It's crazy to think in 2 years Chris Jericho, a lower midcarder guy, will win the WCW title in a WWE ppv, people would look at you like you're crazy if you told them that.
Crazy he pinned Rock & Austin n 1 night
Genius of McMahon. He recognized talent. Same could be said of Steve Austin. And even more so with what he did with Nash, Calloway, Hall,etc. WCW didn't know talent.
This particular episode means a whole lot to me. My Nana took me to this Raw event for my 11th birthday. This is when I realize that Monday Night Raw was pre recorded. I remember getting to the arena. My Nana and I saw three shows that night Shotgun Saturday Night, Sunday Night Heat and Monday Night Raw. It was eye-opening and kind of weird to see but I still enjoyed myself. I also remember telling my buddies in school that Kane and X-Pac will win the tag team titles by the following week and no one believed me until it happened lol. Ahhh good times!
Reminds me of a funny sign I saw on Smackdown back in 99. It said “It’s really Tuesday”.
Quality story, mate. You walked to school with a smile on your face after those belts dropped!
Dude, the way these videos are written and presented is so damn good. WWE should be knocking down Wrestling Bios door to produce specials for the network..
That would make them more interesting. Wrestling bios should be a writer or producer for raw or smackdown
Not ironically, it would be really cool for Hunter to hire him to interview legends on the bump or narrate the best of
I mean, if that meant that I could only watch Wrestling Bios on the WWE Network and that there would be no issues with copyright use of the images...yeah, I'd finally cave in and get a WWE Network Subscription
I know I’ve written this comment before, but it can’t be overstated… thank you for making this series. The world is generally a crappy place, and things that make life better are rare. This is one of them though. Every week you bring some joy to a bunch of people. Thanks for doing it and making life just a little more tolerable. 👍🏻
Stone Cold and Big Show ripping the titantron is definitely a classic Raw moment 😂
I was there for Jericho's last WCW match in Peoria, Illinois. It's actually the reason I love Eddie Guerrero. It was Guerrero/Jericho vs Rey/Kidman. And they went HAM and still did fun stuff.
WCW didn't know talent if it bit them in the ass.
Think of how many legends they either let slip away, or completely fumbled in terms of booking.
Austin. Jericho. Eddie Guerrero. Bret. Pillman. Booker T. The Steiners.
And that Benoit guy... he was a great wrestler.
@@TheSBleeder I wouldn't say they 'fumbled' on The Steiners nor Booker T. Not 'really'. Especially with The STEINERS!! The others u mentioned? For the most part-- 'yes'. Overall.....
Reliving the War is wild. We are finally at a point where I actually started watching wrestling as a kid. I am a WCW fan from early 99... can you believe it?!
Wow. I was lucky I started in 5th grade which was fall 97. My friend from school put me on to watch.
@WesleyWilkins-qf2ky I played the WCW/NWO Revenge game in 98 and was hooked so I knew the characters from that, and watching WWF when I was like 5, so once my mom and family started watching on TV we were hooked on WCW. We had no idea WWF had completely rekt them in the ratings. Of course, watching all the podcasts and interviews with all the 90s guys and watching this does show how different the demise of WCW was from how it was presented on the Monday Night Wars stuff WWE released lol.
Same here man! I actually started watching wrestling in 2000 with some weird pole match between Booker T and Jeff Jarrett and Goldberg feuding with Vince Russo. Loved it haha.
Luckily in 2001 they started reairing all the Nitro episodes from 96 to 98 so I was able to catch up on the nWo time.
Then I was able to follow a little bit about the Invasion via a wrestling magazine and I absolutely hated WWF.
We’ve reached that unfortunate point in WCW history where they were swimming further into the deep end before desperately gasping for air (2000) and eventually dying (2001) 😢
Bro be COOKING with these Reliving the War intros! Hard to believe we are almost a quarter through 1999 and we are close to losing a legend in Owen Hart. Great upload as always!
I think we all dread when it gets to May and he has to address the legend Owen Hart
@@WesleyWilkins-qf2ky I'm sure that the Bios Brother will do Owen proud with a nice tribute.
The Rock carrying around Austin's stolen belt like he did with the IC belt
That new set/logo was one step closer to them dying
Big Boss Man back like nothing happened 😆
Only chinlocks can harm him.
So dumb. They should’ve saved that hanging angle for when his contract was about to end.
Honestly, this is the greatest wrestling series in TH-cam history ❤
Meng is a big dude. And Steiner just held him in that back breaker position like no big deal
Ric Flair yelling at the kid is perfection
Agree with the Stevie Ray hat comment. I remember when Shawn turned up to mania v Austin with no beard. Lost before he'd gotten in the ring 😔
The “Mr. McMahon” promos never fail to pop me good! I made Hulkamania, pal!
This guy's over here popping for Vince like hes a paralegal.
Ai is getting uncanny
It’s a small touch but Flair having a “President of WCW” plaque in his office is hilarious.
Also notice that they moved the Nitro commentators to ringside whereas in the old set they were up by the entrance. It made me think at the time that WCW was trying in someway to copy the WWF, but maybe they didn't have room for the commentators at the entrance with the new set. I remember the four way match. Also seeing the end of this Raw too.
Hacksaw, a true Hall of famer .
You’re damn right. Even back in wwf. I think a woman must have broke his heart cuz he was always saying “HOOOOOO!”
@@WesleyWilkins-qf2ky 😂😂😂
@@WesleyWilkins-qf2kylol I knew hacksaw has a reason for saying hoooooo! Now it makes sense🤣
He was great before the WWF. Before he was made such a cartoon character. I still loved his character in the WWF though.
@@carlpeterson8182 I never saw hacksaw before the WWF. I didn't have access to whatever wrestling organization he was in before WWF.
I always liked X-Pac and Kane as a tag team. They had good chemistry together, and even the 12 year old mark in me was upset down the road when Pac would turn on Kane.😂
They were getting huge pops as a team. They're perhaps the most odd pairing I've ever seen in wrestling but it worked.
Love Goldberg coming out with a shirt with the old WCW logo. Shambles.
Ahh Trips at least had an explanation for him still wearing a DX shirt, but what a lame reasoning.
Heel DDP completely forgot this run
We need a t shirt saying "raw wins this week because....reasons " 😂😂😂
I don't remember the DR. DEATH matches. Great to re-discover!
If ya love me, or ya hate me, you'll never forget me 💥
Was that a Owen Hart line? As I have seen a few comments relating to Owen
@@ChrisMack056 No, DDPs heel phrase around this time.
@@benziescha5438 Thanks
It was strange seeing Triple H and The Rock teaming up
They are members of the Corporation
The new season of Reliving the War!
Also Buff Daddy 4 Life!
My favorite Thursday show, thank you wrestling bio.
Good one this week. And it was nice seeing the return of Jim Duggan.
I already miss the old nitro set 😢
Likewise, Good Times indeed 😢
Thank you as always WrestlingBios, we are not worthy!
Controversial opinion: I quite like this 1999 WCW stage. Logo on the other hand can be a bit better and a bit can reads WCW
"You want a war, you're gonna get one" . Go hand in hand now...
Yeah a video of that has tons of Comments referencing it.
Cannot wait for the epic Sting vs DDP match on 4/26/1999
'Where to Stephanie!' 😈👹 My favorite Taker is here! On with the show! 😂
This aired on my mom's 45th birthday! She's 69 now ❤️😊
WCW took a gamble with Sandman....makes me wonder if that's why Raven didn't get the Bret feud or longer with the U.S belt. Rvd, Awesome and Rhino aside, no one in ecw was worthy of the big 2. Mind you al snow was even worse still 😂
Raven only won the US title so DDP wouldnt have to job out to Goldberg.
Perfect timing I’m bored and lonely and this gives me a little bit of an escape from my doom and gloom life.. p.s hope everyone has a brilliant Christmas with your family’s and you too wrestling bios ❤️❤️
Much love and respect coming your way.
the fam is here man....feel free to chat and keep the mind busy
@@Richie-Stefon-King "the fam" 😂
@@SteveAustin-zv1nnoh shut up stone cold
I just remembered watching these live with my grandpa and flipping from channel to channel. TNT and USA channels if I remember correctly. ☺️
God, I forgot about Tony's new hair...it really does match the new set perfectly, doesn't it?
Thanks bio’s ! I’m currently at work with nothing to do. Now I have the new episode or RTW. Cheers mate 🍻
man rewatching Jericho’s WCW run how in the world did they drop the ball so much?
My favorite show every Thursday always makes my slow Thursdays so much better at work
Time for my favorite part of the week. RTW!
You know another favorite part of the week is? THURSDAY NIGHT 🏈 ON PRIME VIDEO!!!!!
I remember watching both this Raw and Nitro on a cruise I was on for my senior class trip…That’s how addicted I was to wrestling back then 😂😂😂😂
So many people here waiting for this to drop each week. It's a highlight
The absolute irony of Hogan needing to kick out of an uber-protected finisher because someone was late with their run-in is so amazing, since the same thing happened to him at WrestleMania VIII a few years back.
Also, WEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLL... RIP Monday Night Jericho. Long Live Raw is Jericho!!!!!
It's interesting to look back at this and see the first signs of the Union, as well as the Corperate Ministry. Even so, it's still surprising how well they kept the "Higher Power" thing pretty locked down until the reveal
The HP reveal is terrible
So this episode from April 5, 1999 was when the newer WCW logo made it's debut, noted.
En Era that I want to forget
The then, new logo really did signify the sharp downfall the company would be going through for the next two years before being acquired by the Mcmahons.
Yes, another reliving war episode! Been watching since the first episode man. Happy holidays everyone!
Why is triple h wearing the dx shirt when he is part of the corporation lol
This was my 1st raw live and in person , I guess that’s why I always thought the titantron destruction was such an iconic moment. Also a guy was walking around the outside of the event after it ended claiming he took a picture at just the right moment when ivory ripped Terri’s shirt off to get a nip slip .
A curious fact here, Horace was very famous in Japan in a group on FMW that also had Mr Pogo, Mike Awesome and the fake Razor Ramon, it's very random
What an incredibly late '90s look from Lex with that ESPN baseball uni.
WCW may have lost Jericho, but they got Lenny Lane, who looks just like him.
I like the new opening to show. Previewing what's to come very nicely done!
With all due respect, 4:07 is a "white" russian leg sweep when its with the cane, gotta get his drinking gimmick over brother
I remember this battle royale for the nWo black and white very well, and I remember not caring at all who won lol
Been watching since episode 1 and just realized that with this episode, it's been 3.2 years of reliving the war. Found this channel during the pandemic and been watching all content since. Fine job you do here sir, fine job indeed!
RTW is why I love Thursday!
only a few mins in and already cracking up about the Tony Schiavone Hair to go with the new nitro set comment lol "Both look absolutely ...."
The AI Vince Hogan Chinese Proverb t-shirt segment broke me
The song at the end yes yes yes 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wooooooooooo
A sad day for Jerichoholics indeed, but brighter days await for fans of the Ocho as we'll soon see the birth of Y2J!
Jesus I remember flipping back n fourth from wcw nitro to wwf raw is war😊
I’ve spent the last few months watching these and honestly, time well spent. You do such an excellent job of recapping the events of these shows with the perfect amount of storytelling and humor. You make it so relatable to old school fans that each single episode of RTW isn’t as predictable as the actual product of the time in WWE/WCW. I was on Team WCW until August of 1999 and looking back, I wonder why I was so invested after 1998.
LOVE the the new format with the mini trailers a he beginning. Enticing
I was never a WCW fan, but they did make Raw better.
HEY YO!
Not gonna lie... I kinda like the new WCW set.
I do like rewatching the ministry vs Mr McMahon thing knowing Vince is the Higher Power and trying to see if I can make it make sense this time around.
Never made sense. It should’ve been Ted Dibiase,
Nash, the booker, appearing on screen every 5 minutes…naturally
He probably worked like no house shows around this time. Only worth showing up if he can be on TV 24/7 🙄
The beginning of a new era
What a way to celebrate the Fourth of July with the Raw/Nitro: Reliving the War!!!
I was a this Nitro! Thank you for the recap, flood of 8 y/o memories
I was sick with the stomach flu all week and feeling miserable. So seeing this felt like a light in a dark tunnel.
gosh damn them intros are fire everytime you mix it up!! gets ya pumped for the episode!
Poor Owen. His gear post-Hart Foundation really leaves something to be desired. I wonder if it was a McMahon thing "Get rid of those colours!" or an Owen idea. Either way, he really missed the pink and black aesthetic.
Better than any wwe or aew stuff today
Thank you for making this series it has shown me some matches that I thought never happened
Bro this intro tape is DOPE. I absolutely love it
Reliving my teens through your hard work
I was absolutely bananas for the late era WCW logo at least. I think I spent my part time job money on a new Nitro ring/set playset this year
I love how this channel continues to evolve and this series evolves right along with it.
We really don’t deserve your hard work and dedication, but thank you so much for everything you do for us.
I was watching wwe raw last week thank god for my media.😮😮😮😮😢
Always pleased to see Elizabeth, she really had something of that Dawn Wells-charisma, and I have no doubt that if things had gone a different way she would have aged beautifully.
It’s always a little bittersweet to see Elizabeth on RTW because of how things turned out for her. Addiction really takes no prisoners :( may her memory be a blessing 🕊️🤍
@@kiereanm3254 indeed. Well said.
Love the new intro. Also, props to the guy doing the Vince impression
I was trying to remember if Jericho's last Nitro was the same night as the new set being introduced. So many mistakes in a single night. Next time we'll see him he gets one of my favorite pops during the war.
Let the countdown begin. 18 weeks until Raw is Jericho.
Still remember that pop
@@strifenineteen WWE production did that intro right IMO. They just let Jericho take over and own that moment with the fans.
I saw the Jericho signs but had no idea he was debuting until the word JERICHO appeared on the Titantron and I popped right along with everyone else
I definitely remember this episode of Raw, not so much for Nitro! Another great video, WB!😁👍
Why was Triple H still wearing a DX shirt?
It’s probably really comfy.
Love the new intro, and recap footage at the start of the video.
I remember this night verry well. I was on spring brake. I was watching both Raw and Nitro. Ric Flair was slowly turning into a lunatic as president, the Undertaker was doing the cult deal, and Rock and Austin were killing it. Love what you do. Fantastic stuff as always. Keep rockin'!
Welp I guess I'm watching Santa with Muscles tonight
Brilliant work all year, can't miss a show
I watched the PPV live on TV, and RAW the next day was tough 💔
What a BANGIN intro!!! Hellz Yeah Wrestling Bios!
RIP to Ryan Shamrock. Hopefully she recovers in time before showing up on Nitro in 6 months or so.
