How does Bios pump out quality content at the quantity he does?
"HE'S AN ANIMAL...AN ANIMAL...AN ANIMAL!"
😂😂😂😂
Isn’t it more than 1 guy?
@sherrix6881 pretty sure it's just him he does the videos in advance so he has a decent schedule man's a machine
Hercules! Hercules!👏👏
@@donniesdeals No, Ryan mentioned a few episodes ago that he has two other people helping him do editing.
Thanks for having me as this week's Jam up Guy Wrestling Bios! It was a pleasure sharing my experience when meeting Bret Hart and I'm glad you and everyone else liked it!
@BronzeBrawnsCool Did you get Bret to say his immortal line of "Shut up!"?
@@heisensaul5538 Sadly no, but he said he enjoyed seeing such loving fans!
how did you explain the joke to Bret man?
I was at Mississippi comic con and I asked if he had ever hear from Wrestling bios raw vs nitro and he had no clue what I was talking about…I told him to catch it every Thursday and it’s the best wrestling content on TH-cam !!
Also showed him pictures of the Smokey the cat shirt and he even did a sketch for me on my wwe elite figure
Glacier receiving a meltdown. I feel like a possible reliving the war joke was missed there 😂
Likely melting him for good
Been so long since Glacier has been in an episode that I actually missed the guy. Wrestling Bios is a psyop.
I guess we were waiting for him to defrost before returning
The return of Mr Frostyballs 🥶
The brilliant 25 year slow burn to get Glacier over 😂
Chili McBreeze
@@johnbrouillet988 ahead of his time
Vince’s line describing Mankind and his makeover : “you can’t shine caca!” Always had me in stitches 😂
"Do you smell with The Rock is cooking?"
Jim Ross: "Can you see who's butt he's kissing?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
At the end of Survivor Series after the swerve, when The Rock's music came on and it said do you smell what The Rock is cooking, Jim Ross said and I quote, "Yeah and it stinks!" 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂That was a good one.
Not gonna watch until after work, but dropping by a little early to give the most hard working team behind the best series on TH-cam their flowers. I know I'm speaking for a TON of people that I'll never meet by saying that we love this show and are really looking forward to reliving all the highs and lows and chinlocks of 1999 with you. Thanks for being one of the best parts of our week
Stop being a weirdo.
Lol what is up with this giving flowers phrase everyone in IWC is using lately
@@ZBR_ProXPit’s not exclusive to the iwc
@@theitfactorjameswheezer2852 never said it was though
You said it, friend. Last year was the worst year of my life, and as silly as it sounds, this little TH-cam series really helped keep me going.
Been waiting patiently for this classic to drop. Reliving The War. The Rock is the new WWF Champion. 1999 is coming, let's go!
The CORPORATE Champion.
1999 just cant be good for WCW. The finger poke of doom coming up soon was the death blow to them.
@@sillyrascal3382hat's a bit of a myth; Nitro was doing fine ratings wise. What REALLY starts the rapid downward spiral of WCW is when Jericho and the Radicals jump ship. Plus WWE was just unstoppable at this point.
@@jackcarraway4707 Jericho and a lot of the lower and mid card guys were so fun to watch. Wcw ran with Hogan and Piper for way too long. A lot of the big matches were trash. Cruiserweights carried wcw.
@@jackcarraway4707And Bret getting an career ending injury at the end of 1999 didn’t help.
No matter what happened afterwards, Bam Bam's return to WCW is pretty awesome. He came in, guns blazing, and wanted the top dog of the yard. Simple, yet effective.
One thing to note about Raw this week was also that they debuted a new opening to the show (the one that would be used up until the Across The Nation opening in 2002 to begin the Ruthless Aggression Era). It was by far the more popular Raw opening of the Attitude Era.
It's going to be very entertaining to see these next few months play out for the storylines and how everything is setting up to bring us some of the most well known moments, angles, and gimmicks that I personally remember fondly (like what this Mark Henry thing eventually leads to. The Rock/Mankind feud that is remembered for that Royal Rumble match, and...THAT night. Can't believe we're nearing the moment that WB finally gets to cover the night of January 4th, 1999. Can't believe we're almost there already. Good to see that he's taking his break before getting into this stretch, because...DAMN!
Come and find the thorn IN YOUR EYE *EXPLOSION* budududuhdehdududehduh dehduh *JR SCREAMING*
It’s no coincidence that Nitro started losing the war after taking away Glacier’s push 🧊
Dealing with Depression and heartbreak rn. Thanks for being here Wrestling Bios❤🔥🤞🏽
Peace and love cuz ✌️&❤️. Days will get better, the sun will shine a little brighter some days. And we'll all relive the Monday night wars together.
Everything will be fine bro 🤞🏻💪🏻 it takes process to continue on like everything is fine again but be safe 🙏🏻
Hang in there buddy you have TH-cam friends if you need to talk 🙏🏼
One thing that always interests me, WCW gave us Hogan, Sting, Nash and Goldberg so much that we got sick of them. WWF/E gave us a lot of Austin, Rock, Taker, and Foley but yet we wanted more.
Really shows how much you need some smart minds behind the curtains than big names in front.
Hogan was old sting was almost as old nash was in control and goldberg was a golden ticket for them Vince could've made his own goldberg especially with his love of big men but he never did
WCW had plenty of missed opportunities to stay on top. I learned that last episode Jericho and Goldberg could've happened, but the higher ups including Goldberg shot it down. What a match that would've been! Even if it was a squash match, which Jericho was okay to do.
It is an anomaly. I think it had more to do w the direction both companies took with their stars. A lot of the stuff WWF did felt fresh and relevant to the time. WCW kept rehashing the NWO storyline over and over with absolutely nothing different week in and week out. I personally believe it all boils down to the Starcade 97 main event. Sting's build to that match was perfect and we all knew how it should have ended. Of course, it didn't end that way and we all knew then that nothing would ever change. I still thinks WCW folds eventually because they just continued to hemorrhage money, but if that one spot goes the right way......I guess we'll never know
People got sick of Sting? News to me.
Wcw didn't give Hogan and Nash.. They were made by wwf.. People were tired of these two being in the main event.. Goldberg's character was one dimensional and Sting was held back by the poor booking.. On the other side, wwf produced main eventers every year in Attitude Era, Stone Cold and Rock in 98,Mankind and Triple H in 99,Kurt Angle and Rikishi in 00...
Also, I can't speak for anyone else, but after watching the Biography special on Stone Cold this past weekend I appreciate Reliving the War so much more! It reminds me how BIG it was growing up during the attitude era!
Konnan and Saturn were extremely underrated
Anyone else get hyped for the intros? All of them are bangers imo
The Juvi & Kidman opener is an absolute barn burner. One of my all time favorite matches on nitro.
always delivered
Rey joins the LWO and 25 years later Rey is in the LWO
This is the episode I have been waiting for! I was in the group on Raw in the referee shirts in camera row, 38:02 I'm blocked from view by the official in ring referee. I was always a huge LOD/Road Warriors fan and ironic my first TV taping included the Titan tron fall of Hawk
This show have given me a new respect for Kidman
My grandfather passed away this morning and I'm so glad this came on as a distraction
Sorry for your loss
Condolences 🙏🏿
Sorry to hear that, RIP to your Grandpa.🙏🙏🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That Jam-Up guy is a legend! 🎉
Always nice to get a laugh outta your favorite wrestlers
He got to live one of my childhood dreams by meeting the Hitman.
I know I’m getting ahead of myself but I can’t wait to hear about the January 4, 1999 episode of Raw when Mick Foley wins the championship
No truer words have ever been uttered in the entire history of the human language.
That bios episode won't put butts in seats 😉
That will put bums in seats
My butt will be definitely in the seat for this event
2 weeks behind, but thank you for another round of Reliving The War! I met Steamboat and Jimmy Hart over the weekend. Also snapped a pic of Brutus Beefcake, aka Zodiac, aka The Disciple aka The Bootyman aka Brother Brewtye sitting alone looking sad because nobody came to his table. Jimmy Hart is a real jam up guy, he took the time to talk to us for 15 minutes.
Catching the Godfather’s hat flip in the open makes me chuckle every time
I am always anxious seeing the Blue Blazer knowing the "Raw is Owen" Episode will be coming May 99....
I just realized The Rock started wearing those really expensive shirts when he became Corporate Rock. This would become synonymous with his character for the rest of his peak years.
He started too look like Cuban drug lord Rock.
The greatest time in professional wrestling is starting to unfold before my eyes 🍿
I've been waiting for this episode to drop as I was at this week's RAW back on Nov 16, 1998. The crowd was super electric for everything going on in the ring.
Funniest thing was I was seated where I could see Hawk climb up AND down the Titantron so I was taken immediately out of any concern for him. It was also awesome to see Steve MuFuggin Blackman team with Goldust. It was totally deflating to see Ken Shamrock join the corporation though. I remember using the Sable promo as a bathroom break (still do on rewatches cause she was about as appealing as moldy bread). But after RAW went off air Stone Cold basically stunned everyone to send the crowd home happy. Was an awesome experience and glad RAW won this week.
Watching Mongo wrestle is like when you give your little brother a controller
It’s like watching me wrestle…
EW!
Reliving the War always makes my day better 🤩
Kidman was quite the worker....never realized it until watching a few of these videos
Kidman had a pretty solid match against Tajiri at Backlash 02. Check it out if you haven't seen it. Much like Malenko, a lot of guys like he and BK never had the charisma to get themselves forward as bigger stars, despite the fact that they could wrestle their arse off.
@@calvinfolan1736I noticed the same with guys like Bobby Eaton and Brad Armstrong. Work horses, but they could never translate the charisma or had the charisma once the cameras were rolling (in Bobby's case, he had managers who did like Cornette and Heyman). Malenko had a dry sense of humor backstage, but was all business and stoic in the ring, so small wonder ECW kept him silent, and WCW gave him the Iceman name. Not a career to be ashamed of though, he held a lot of championship belts and he was a horseman.
I'm from Lexington, and as a kid, I always felt that all we ever got was house shows. I remember watching the ppv and the next night of Raw with all the Rock and Hawk stuff, but I can't believe that Raw was in Lexington, and I don't remember that. I can't believe I wasn't there.
I hope you have a nice vacation. its well deserved. you are by far my favourite wrestling channel. i look forward to every video you upload. great guy!
Perfectly timed! It's been a long day! Now Shut up Jabronis The Coporate Champion is here! 😂❤
This was on my 13th birthday! Wow, that's mad. I love watching these vids every week and spending Thursday evenings going back in time.
I popped for Mills Lane, especially since he was still an ongoing character on Celebrity Death Match, during this time! 😂
Great form on Kidman's chinlock, btw.
STILL the best series on TH-cam!!!
And Austin was about to be an ongoing character on Celebrity Deathmatch.
4:54 When they announce your name at Graduation and you get one person clapping and you have 2 parents there.
Dude, I think your get more done on a break than I do at the office.
Such a classic raw thank you so much for your hard work with these awesome
Thank you as always providing us with the best wrestling content on TH-cam you truly are a friend of the wrestling fan
My brother and I were at this week's Raw! Can't wait to watch the episode!
1999 is coming and that’s when WWF ran away with the war 🎉 that rock turn was perfect
The Minute i Seen Wood in the Thumbnail i knew it was time for Reliving the War Brother!!🤘
The Raw After Survivor Series 1998 was awesome Rey Mysterio Jr vs Eddie guerrero on nitro was great these episodes of Reliving the War are amazing to watch every Thursday the Attitude Era was an awesome time period great video.
Best thing on Thursdays!!! Thank you again for all the work!
I bet Steiner thought rhyming man with Superman was genius 🤣
That intro hits every single time 🔥🔥
That taunt before delivering the corporate elbow was great
The PPV review later in the week marks the first episode of RTW where I was alive when the event happened, the series has finally caught up :)
Austin vs undertaker rivalry renewed 😂😮
To me, the Austin vs Rock main event is a 5 star match. Awesome personalities, storyline progression, fast paced action bell to bell
I've been waiting on this episode all week, just like that 7 year old kid who waited on Monday nights back in 1998.
Still so much epicness to come. Can’t wait for when Raw just flat out runs away with this in 99-00.
I give Nitro an over under of 10 victories after the finger poke. Man I can’t wait for that episode…
I can….
Spoiler: The Finger Poke Nitro (4th Jan 99) received a rating of 5.0. The next Nitro on the 11th received a rating of... 5.0. Yes, exactly the same. The idea that huge numbers of people suddenly stopped watching WCW after it is just not supported by the facts.
I saved this all day for after work , and lo and behold we get a new mufuggin' intro! If i dont make it through the video its because the jam was just too much! Thanks wrestling bios!
Seeing Hawk and Animal and Droz in that promo knowing they're all gone really gets me
Rip to all them
When did Paul die?
Precious Paul is alive and well
Paul Ellering is still alive dude. He's 69 years old lol
i started this series in may, fully expecting that i could binge through it and by the time i caught up we’d at least be in the 2000s. hear i am 2 months later and im waiting for the next week like everyone else, i hate it.
What I do is sometimes I don’t watch it for two three weeks and then binge it sometimes what I do is also I re watch the ppvs
Damn I forgot about that Bam Bam intro segment! That was awesome… really solid way to respond to that great Survivor Series momentum, WCW, holy cow.
This is definitely a jam up episode of reliving the war
That bagwell steiner segment. Jesus christ, that was comedy gold
Love watching these! Great nostalgia and look forward to every Thursday night. I will be gutted when they finish.
It's Thursday night and you know what that means! Reliving the War on TH-cam again!
Probably one of my favorite episodes of Raw because of what it leads to down the line.
A top 10 episode from reliving the war. Great work
The steve blackman segments have become my favorite part of these videos😂
I though this week's and next week was not being uploaded but so happy that you uploaded this week's, this is my weekly fix haha love RTW
Best show on TH-cam! Thank you for all the amazing videos!
Getting close to 1999 what a year that was for WWF and WCW
Vinny Mac makes the best faces, ever! 😂😂
The Corporation stable was so underrated!
Hated what happened to them near the end
Brett's "My cat!" is absolutely hilarious.
Its My 38th Birthday 🎂 and Yes im doing it Right with Wrestling Bios and Reliving The War . Kick or be Kickin!!
Happy birthday, Brother
Happy Birthday to you🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍧🍧🍧🍧🍧🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨👑👑👑👑👑👑
@@zacharythomason7359 Thank you so much brother!!🙂👍
@@BlakOwlEntertainment Thank you so much 🙂🥳
OH !!! NICE !!!! I was at that Lexington KY RAW !!! This should bring back some memories .
AN ANIMAL! THIS GUY'S AN ANIMAL! Love the new intro and graphic dude
Got myself confused about the update and wasn't expecting to relive the war this week, what a nice surprise
About 2 months away from one of the loudest pops ever in wrestling.
That'll put butts in the seats...
LOVE THE SERIES AND HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER BUDDY ❤🎉
You should have end of year awards for reliving the war. Maybe have a list of your favorite matches, shows, moments from the year. Best debuts, most underrated or most under utilized wrestler
This might be more work for you but all the work you put into RTW is very much appreciated! It’s just cool hearing your take from all the wrestling content you give us on Thursdays and the throughout the week
That Buff and Steiner promo was great 😄
Great work man , thank you
i watched that Corporation opening segement the other day . Great autograph from Bret ! Smokey brings the Jam.
Ok i didn't realize they started planting the seeds for the finger poke of doom this early
WCW had all this time to backtrack on that idea, but were committed to it anyway. This is why they lost the war.
I was at a Nitro sometime in 98 and I swear to God, I fell asleep in the stands.
16:44 It says Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio again 😂
Much love and aloha for all the magnificent wrestling content WrestlingBios 🤙🏽
It is better than the original view
Thanks man
Another great victory for Steve Blackman.
Fantastic episode this week WB!
“Stevie takes the stroke from double J” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
We were using a ladder to hang cables in the back. Silva came up and was gingerly hanging the cables for us barely extending his arm. Kurgan came through and called him a "f*cking giant" and we all had a laugh.
Watching this episode from my balcony in tenerife life is good sometimes
I like the the old Wrestling Bios logo better than the new one. Not there's anything particularly wrong with the new one, but the other one was perfect.
37:30 a fan jumped out of the barricade 😂
I had my 16th birthday when this set of episodes happened.
Besides the new logo lol love this show thank u buddy u got me back into wrestling I'm actually doing my own Monday night war lol I'm in late 1999 I also watch ecw
The past few years reliving the war has been my weekly fix
Perfect way to start my vacation! 😁
Reliving the War! As always, thanks for making my day a little better!
Always interested to see what clip plays during the "Let's get it On" vocal part in the intro.. They're always PERFECT.
Damn... remember Mills Lane? I just as hell didn't until this episode of RTW
love that corop promo and raw back then. great job on these videos.
