Watching Farooq cosplaying as Megaman, it's amazing to think he was part of one of WCW's most dominant tag teams, as well as the WCW World Champion just a few years prior.
When I was a chubby 21 year old at work, we used black spray paint to paint brackets, so, I started painting NWO on everything. I was young and stupid then, and I'm old and stupid now.
Im starting to think that maybe Farooq is a pathetic sub zero ripoff. Did he debut after glacier promos? if so might have been trying to spoil/steal their character idea. Sorry Im catching up
When my grandson told me that wrestling bios just uploaded another video, I had to run up two flights of steps to get to my phone, I'm 53 years old, I shouldn't be able to run that fast anymore lol
The Meng Manliness Meter needs to be a thing IRL. Arn Anderson eating an Arby's Beef n' Cheddar while smoking a Marlboro and drinking a pull top can of beer also needs to be on that scale right next to Meng.
Imagine, Razor Ramon talking to Meng: Hey Meng, meng. I am the meng around here, meng. Trust me chico, if you think you're Meng, you've gotta beat the real meng, meng.
Problem was they had been setting up the Glacier angle before the Outsiders fell into their lap. The two presentations were somewhat incongruent and Glacier had to be put to the side.
Bischoff's explanation for the Glacier character is hilarious. He wanted to create characters that could be licenced to be used in videogames.. by stealing famed videogame characters.
Fun fact, this whole Razor/Diesel storyline ended up leading to WCW management giving Hall and Nash a massive pay increase since they were worked into believing that they really were going to jump and Hall and Nash purposefully didn't confirm nor deny anything going on.
@@tomr3422 fun fact you are wrong. Ted did not wanna sell Wcw. When shown how much money he was burning up he said that's it I lose more on baseball. The time warner deal is what killed wcw.
@@tomr3422 you should probably watch a documentary on wcw not made by the WWE. Ted turner wanted to keep wcw running. He said if he knew the time warner deal was gonna kill wcw he would have never done it. You can bring up selling other parts of the company and keeping others. I am aware how it works but that's not what happened here
When I was watching this as a kid I didn’t realise how awesome and imperative Savio Vega was, I’m such a mark for him now. For me that point should have gone to the Mega Man vs Vega match
I've been waiting for this. Me and a friend were debating when Glacier actually debuted. He said Nitro and I thought WCW Saturday night but we are both wrong. Wrestling Bios does it once again. Thanks for the great videos.
My god. What the hell was going on with the WWF at that time? Were most of their main, star, wrestlers out with injuries, or on vacation that night? I can't help but notice that it was "Enhancement Talent" night on RAW that night.
I wasn't even alive when Crow Sting made his first appearance, so it will be interesting to see it through new eyes. However, I do already know the "conclusion" of the original Sting vs nWo storyline at Starrcade '97, and that is not something I am all too excited about.
Farooq the modern day gladiator 🤣🤣 respect to ron simons for being that legitimately tough to not be laughed out the locker room for wearing that tin foil helmet
Apart from sunny and candido.. Vincent buried everyone who came in from smokey mountain wrestling.. I didn't know that... cheers big man another cracking watch
When I consider that Jim Cornette was head of WWF creative as this was being booked, it really hurts his credibility now when he lambasts everybody's else's booking decisions.
Thank you so much for this one. This was the last Monday of wrestling I watched, before leaving for the Army. Back in 96. I wouldn't see another wrestling match till the Screw job. This is amazing.
I am Canadian, and we had a 1 hour version of Nitro the following Saturday afternoon. Believe it or not, they actually EDITED OUT the Sting "Heel turn", so in the final 30 minutes, we heard the announcers mourning and talking about it... Then during the closing credits, they actually show the replay of it! Whoever was in charge of editing should have been FIRED! LOL
Man,you gotta make Reliving The War twice a week. It's really hard waiting for the next episode. Blame my shortened attention span but I'd love me a lot more Reliving The War each week.😎😎
I love the bits ribbing Mongo McMichael for his interesting wrestling ability, but really sad to hear of his fight with ALS that sounds like it's getting rough really quickly. In a strange way, this series and the attention it's paying to him are a nice way to remember him since he's not likely got a lot of time left. Good luck, Mongo!
It's amazing the WWF had any viewers at this point. The storylines we... nonexistent and there were like 4 legit wrestlers. Also amazing, how quickly they turn it around.
The fact is, a company doesn't need a good product to have fans/viwers/enthusiasts/customers. Both WCW & WWF proved that by having millions watch at there worst times.

Can’t stop replaying the part when Salvador Sincere gets punched in the mouth you can tell undertaker wasn’t having any of that gimmick haha great work again wrestling bios

Correction - Nitro was held in Columbus, GA.
I need Tony and Larry to tell me these things :(
Dang that Larry!
This unopposed point system sucks. Raw shouldn't be rewarded for doing nothing.
@@ohkay2360 none of it matters
Glacier so good, doesn't have to wrestle.
Georgia has a Columbus as well? 😅
Watching Farooq cosplaying as Megaman, it's amazing to think he was part of one of WCW's most dominant tag teams, as well as the WCW World Champion just a few years prior.
Vince had a hard on for burying WCW guys.
Would love to hear corny in that stupid blue simmons outfit.
@@RichSmithson Simmons would eventually get some push the following year.
you’d wear the helmet though for sure
TBF I could see Vince really think that this gimmick would be a big hit.
The best part of every thursday
Indeed
Agreed fully brother
Yes!!
Friday in Oceania
Yes sirrr
When I was a chubby 21 year old at work, we used black spray paint to paint brackets, so, I started painting NWO on everything. I was young and stupid then, and I'm old and stupid now.
Two sweet
@@TruckerJenkins82 "proper dirty commie he was" 😂
I don’t think a “commie” would believe in the nwo conspiracy.
I don't see anything stupid about that
Seriously, WWE or AEW need to get this guy to do their intros, That reliving the war intro is SOOOO good, gets me pumped every time
Be honest, how many times do you listen to it before you actually watch? I think I do about 4-5 times before I get into it, its just sooo good.
The intro is so good and last week wrestling bios got Jim Cornette for the intro was just awesome last week
I cud listen to him on commentary forever 😂
Agreed! Reminds me of the intro song to TUF (The ultimate fighter). Always gets me in the mood for some face pounding action.
@@ozzv1594 oh god no definitely no
Best feeling in the world when I forget it’s Thursday and come home to Reliving the War when I get off of work...just beautiful
How many years ago?
I'll say this, Glacier's outfit is better than Faarooq's.
Sub-Zero cosplay vs. Mega Man cosplay.
35K vs. 235 Dollars
Ring work isn't though
Im starting to think that maybe Farooq is a pathetic sub zero ripoff.
Did he debut after glacier promos? if so might have been trying to spoil/steal their character idea.
Sorry Im catching up
The Red Rooster’s outfit is better than Farooq’s
When my grandson told me that wrestling bios just uploaded another video, I had to run up two flights of steps to get to my phone, I'm 53 years old, I shouldn't be able to run that fast anymore lol
53 is the new 43
The Meng Manliness Meter needs to be a thing IRL. Arn Anderson eating an Arby's Beef n' Cheddar while smoking a Marlboro and drinking a pull top can of beer also needs to be on that scale right next to Meng.
Only if Steve Williams melting calluses off of his own feet with a red hot hunting knife is like the middle of our scale.
Imagine, Razor Ramon talking to Meng: Hey Meng, meng. I am the meng around here, meng. Trust me chico, if you think you're Meng, you've gotta beat the real meng, meng.
@@pjdolont9012 he needs to be wearing a hawaiian shirt at the time, but yes.
I like how Mega Man teams up with Guts Man Bradshaw years after this.
That comment won the internet
This a low brow comment?
Always Poundin Ass, brother
I legit laughed out loud
After he defeats guts man, then it's off to cut man, brutus beefcake
Happy 1 year Anniversary Reliving the War
Nothing happens on Thursdays until this comes on!
MC! True Long Island Story Podcast bro
I think I would have turned over to raw...
I instantly regret this decision 🤣🤣
This is so true.
@@WrestlingBios we’d understand if you want to take back that unopposed hour point.
Apparently Glacier had a lot of locker room..... HEAT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
GET OUT. LMAO
Not even Vince Russo could've thought of such a swerve regarding Glacier's debut on WCW Pro.
Problem was they had been setting up the Glacier angle before the Outsiders fell into their lap. The two presentations were somewhat incongruent and Glacier had to be put to the side.
I'm ready for a "Farooq Chin Lock of Doom" soundbite.
Bischoff's explanation for the Glacier character is hilarious. He wanted to create characters that could be licenced to be used in videogames.. by stealing famed videogame characters.
Raw in 1996 is better than in the 2021 what a shame
WCW in 2000 and 2001 is better then raw in 2021
This is a real history class. Breakdown of Monday Night Wars on Thursdays with Wrestling Bios
Yes, this is actually a resource that a historian could use as research because of the meticulous detail
That RAW was painful. Feels like WWF wasn’t even trying on that episode
Undertaker vs Salvatore Sincere in the main event , seems more like a Superstars TV show
I never knew that Pat Tanaka was the first one to have Goldberg's theme music.
Fun fact, this whole Razor/Diesel storyline ended up leading to WCW management giving Hall and Nash a massive pay increase since they were worked into believing that they really were going to jump and Hall and Nash purposefully didn't confirm nor deny anything going on.
Pretty smart on their part
@@tomr3422 fun fact you are wrong. Ted did not wanna sell Wcw. When shown how much money he was burning up he said that's it I lose more on baseball. The time warner deal is what killed wcw.

I am aware how it works but that's not what happened here
I already know in my mind that I'll be watching all these again one day.
We are close to Sting declaring that he is a free agent and the first time we see Sting in his Crow gear on October 22, get ready for that.
And Bischoff joining the NWO on November 18th
@ Brendon Sprinkle
YES!!! This is when he stopped speaking, what a time 2 be alive!!! I Was only 6 and remember how REAL it ALL seemed!!!
I wish Nitro had ended with Stink attaking Luger.
I was here. I witnessed the start of the Mega Man Faarooq Chinlock.
When I was watching this as a kid I didn’t realise how awesome and imperative Savio Vega was, I’m such a mark for him now. For me that point should have gone to the Mega Man vs Vega match
i agree . Savio was good . I was a fan of his in Puerto Rico as TNT before hand so i already liked him . But yeah he was always solid af
Pulled out the thesaurus for this one, I see 😅
Mega Man vs Vega Man
@@Sougamwthmana YES YES YES!! 👆☝️
@@gst013 whats a dinosaur got to do with my comment ! LOL . i kid . you got me . heh heh
I've been waiting for this. Me and a friend were debating when Glacier actually debuted. He said Nitro and I thought WCW Saturday night but we are both wrong. Wrestling Bios does it once again. Thanks for the great videos.
damn it’s gonna hurt when this series inevitably finishes 😔
But then we can get the real Monday night War, tna impact vs raw. Now that one was too close to call, it could've went either way
@@rickisgrate 😂😂
Still isn't done
@@CCking.9021O yeah idiot it’s not gonna be done till wcw goes out of business in 2001
Those two Metallica fans in the front row (9:48) are probably gonna be pretty disappointed when they get ahold of that new Load album.
Free Parking, and they still have Hell --- I mean, St. Anger --- to look forward to!
@@UdoShan By the time they get to “Invisible Kid” on that album they’re gonna be questioning their life decisions
Load came out in June of 1996 they were already disappointed.
@@marmcd2003
Well they can be even more disappointed with St Anger
This is such a great job from wrestling bios. I love being turned back into a kid being 15 again watching this
I actually laughed out loud every single time you said "Mega Man"
Salvatore Sincere had the all-time greatest tombstone sell.
Thursday’s used to be one of my favorite days of the week for Smackdown, and now it’s for Reliving the War. Such a wonderful feeling.
I nearly pissed my pants when you told Glacier to buy a heater. Bravo.
Did he just call him Mega-Man? *DAMN!* 🤣
That’s no ordinary chin lock.... that’s the ol gladiator chin strap!!!!!! Mega man’s biggest power up!!!!!!!
That was a helluva table bump by barbarian. Ouch
I remember Okerlund actually calling Vincent "Virgil" once before he corrected himself.
My god. What the hell was going on with the WWF at that time? Were most of their main, star, wrestlers out with injuries, or on vacation that night? I can't help but notice that it was "Enhancement Talent" night on RAW that night.
Its brutal but funny at the same time how the King was always ripping into Jack back in the day lol.
Jack the Snack
Welcome to Thursday Afternoon Reliving the War. Thank you once again for this trip down memory lane!
Meng’s Manly Meter! 🤣 I love it! Needs to a weekly addition to the show!
Every Friday morn I wake up and this is top of my recommended videos 😊 and I watch with a brew. Cheers mate.
Every week I somehow forget that it's Thursday until I get this notification. And I get genuinely excited when I see it.
Same with Tuesdays and Fridays with me for That Chapter videos haha
That RAW IS WAR intro is always gonna get me hype! 🔥😤🔥
Can’t wait for Crow Sting to arrive, we’re on the road to it soon!
I wasn't even alive when Crow Sting made his first appearance, so it will be interesting to see it through new eyes. However, I do already know the "conclusion" of the original Sting vs nWo storyline at Starrcade '97, and that is not something I am all too excited about.
@@dawsonbosco8217
Even worse when Sting joinz the wusspack. 😂
I really hope you actually get to finish this series all the way to the end of the war it's always something to enjoy on a Thursday
Does anyone else think Split Screen actually does sounds like a tag team name from the 90s? 😂
@@tomr3422 i can see Vince saying “it’s split screen appearing on the split screen”
Farooq the modern day gladiator 🤣🤣 respect to ron simons for being that legitimately tough to not be laughed out the locker room for wearing that tin foil helmet
I always lose track of what day it is, but I ALWAYS know when it's Thursday. I love this series.
Apart from sunny and candido.. Vincent buried everyone who came in from smokey mountain wrestling.. I didn't know that... cheers big man another cracking watch
I love how Raw's only "point" came when they weren't even on the air. LOL
its Thursday, you know what that means 😎 reliving the war, the best series on all of youtube
The funny part is I get paid every Thursday but reliving the war is the highlight of every Thursday since I found this channel
No Davey Boy Smith this week, so thanks to Farooq for picking up the slack with those chinlocks!
These episodes are fuckin awesome. Brings back the golden era.
Idk if you get enough credit for the mashups and reworked themes, but you should. Fantastic 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Sincere actully sold Takers moves GREAT. Also, Taker got hella air on that clothes line and choke slam
Love the Megaman reference. 😅
Good lord. your disbelief over Konan being in the Dungeon of Doom followed by a swift "whatever" - fantastic. Love you, mate.
You have Ron Simmons, Barry Windham, Tony Anthony, and Tracy Smothers...all that talent...and WWF gave them stupid gimmicks and just wasted them.
Raw's ratings were in the toilet as a result of that.
The Only Reason Why Undertaker Was Successful Was Because Of Mark Calaway's Willingness To Bring Undertaker To Life
When I consider that Jim Cornette was head of WWF creative as this was being booked, it really hurts his credibility now when he lambasts everybody's else's booking decisions.
Thank you so much for this one. This was the last Monday of wrestling I watched, before leaving for the Army. Back in 96. I wouldn't see another wrestling match till the Screw job. This is amazing.
Salvatore Sincere's Russian Leg Sweep/Float over pin combo was slick.
Reliving the war is the 2021 equivalent of NBC’s Must See TV Thursday night lineup.
Yay Thursday is finally complete
Best wrestling channel on youtube hands down. Right beside wrestling with regret with Brian zane
This series has really grown on me 🤙🏼
I am Canadian, and we had a 1 hour version of Nitro the following Saturday afternoon.

Most epic chokeslam I've ever seen. Looked personal
John Tenta would later move to New Jersey to live next door to a group of talking fast food items.
Man,you gotta make Reliving The War twice a week. It's really hard waiting for the next episode. Blame my shortened attention span but I'd love me a lot more Reliving The War each week.😎😎
this has been great to listen to while I work, I can't believe I caught up!
Favorite thing to watch on Thursday
I am genuinely looking forward to next weeks reliving the war, more than I normally look forward to the show.
What I always loved about Meng’s matches is when he just mauls his opponents with his clubbing blows and kicks definitely a real badass 👍🏽🤘🏽
After Bulldog, the decision to ultimately have to include a Megaman Chinlock soundbyte too won me over. You win. Subscribed.
This is by far far the best show on TH-cam
I love the bits ribbing Mongo McMichael for his interesting wrestling ability, but really sad to hear of his fight with ALS that sounds like it's getting rough really quickly. In a strange way, this series and the attention it's paying to him are a nice way to remember him since he's not likely got a lot of time left. Good luck, Mongo!

love the Glacier content
BEST PRO WRESTLING SERIES ON YT
I love how more of your personality and sense of humor comes through with each episode.
I don't care what anyone thinks but those WCW cameras were amazing for the time. Back then that was like movie quality.

The Mega Man Faarooq Chinlock! Love it! 😂
I did not think you could top the Jim Cornette opening from last week, but the "Meng Meter of Manliness" had me literally LOL.
This show has been helping me through my boring ass work days
I 💘 Reliving the war it takes me back to the good old days when wrestling was still Awesome thank u Wrestling Bios
The best part of my lunchbreak at work on Thursdays
I appreciate the time you put into these vids. They are just great strolls down memory lane for the best time in wrestling.
This intro is hard af. Series continues to refine
Man the amount of work and time you put into these is incredible.
Bios truly makes our Thursday AWESOME
The Meng Manliness Meter is the greatest invention of the 21st century. Dare someone tell Meng differently...
