Luckily he has a good run in Japan after he leaves the fed. WWF really didn’t understand that changing dudes names did nothing but hurt their recognition.
I agree with you on that...also so was Leif Cassidy a.k.a. Al Snow. Also his teaming with Marty Jannetty as the New Rockers was promoted so poorly--they were definitely more skilled in the ring but the geek image was totally wrong for them.
Vader was supposed to of won the title at Survivor Series. Which is why the PPV is named after his catchphrase. Guess it was too late to change the name.
When it comes to 2 Cold Scorpio/Flash Funk, I was always impressed a guy who wasn't a naturally skinny dude could do the high flying stuff really well. And he could make it fit into his gimmick as well
Hell yeah getting in on the ground floor on this video. I think you should give these videos their own subtitles like "Reliving The War: Major Battles" or something on those lines. Keep up the great content as always.
Prelude to the 1997 work/shoot feud between Hart and Michaels that we are about to witness real soon. 97 was my favorite year as a wrestling fan. Btw, Sid doesn't get enough credit for his run. I actually enjoyed his title run.
I've gotta say, this particular In Your House show has always been a bit of a hard watch for me. It's just a very messy and awkward ppv, but you simply covering it and offering some fresh perspective made it a helluva lot better and entertaining!😆
I’m glad to see each PPV is going to be reviewed for Reliving The War going forward. You do a great job covering RAW and Nitro and this just makes the whole series better in my opinion. Great work as usual!
@@Brhoward31 Bryan was half Hawaiian and he's from Hawaii his crush gimmick was based on who he really was there's a few good shoots on Brian speaking on it I'm just saying this for the fans who think Brian was a "culture vulture" Owen is half creek Indian on his mom's side , even the Rock and deelo are both half black It was a pro minority heel group for the most part
I am from Eastern Canada, and my region FINALLY got access to PPVs near mid-1996. There were 2 that we didn't bother with. the July In Your House, and the December In Your House. Even as full marks, we knew the concept of a throwaway B PPV. LOL :)
Man, I wish there was a way to buy the "set" of the whole Monday Night Wars and associated PPV reviews on DVD when it's done / Halfway done / Made in Volume sets. I'd shell out so much for that.
@n/a Are you stupid? Lmao. They can't CALL themselves those names but they can say what I said. Saying "We're double champions, we won belts in another company too" is vague enough to not get into trouble, but people know what they mean.
love your videos, please keep up the good work. I grew up in the middle of the war so its good to watch it back from both sides (was more of a WWF guy)
19:00 - "It looks like we're gonna see a Goldust/Triple H feud play out on Reliving the War from next week onward." We're now 4 months ahead in the timeline and this still holds true.
Sid's theme music was So good at this point in time.👍 Also Too Cold Scorpio (Flash Funk) was way more talented than he ever seemed to get credit for.... Atleast he got to perform at that HUGE event in North Korea with WCW?😅
I'll always remember this show for coming on free in my hometown. I was waiting for the cable company to scramble the feed, but it never happened. Also got In Your House: Buried Alive for free that year.
Before I clicked to watch this video I was hoping you would use the Sycho Sid intro and you didn’t disappoint. That intro is a banger and so are your videos.
This was meant originally to be Vaders first pvv title defense against Bret. But Shawn wouldn't work with Vader after Summerslam. That's why the title is called its time.
Kinda wonder why they didn't change the name of the show when it became clear that Vader wasn't going to be a focal point of the show in any capacity. Why not rename the IYH to be themed after Sid or something?
“You don’t have to watch Reliving the War” to follow what’s going on here…” You got that right. I’ve been watching Reliving… and pitting two charisma black holes against each other wasn’t the best idea. Brett “I have one good line and that’s all I’ll ever say because it’s the best line there is, ever was, and ever will be!” [Unfortunately Sid had a softball game so couldn’t be reached for a post-match interview.] “Davey tends to save [chin locks] for his singles matches.” Obviously. No need to rest on the floor after two minutes of work when you can just tag someone else in. “Save me Owen! The buzz is wearing off!” “Sid says Sean shouldn’t have stuck his nose in Sid’s business.” So Sid’s going to stick his nose into Sean’s business. And become completely animated as a result! “It looks like ‘Taker’s given up on the leather.” He was working in West Palm Beach! He’d have been an ungrippable sweaty mess had he tried to wear it!
Yeah, I was wondering how long Taker would last in all leather. I was looking at him in the last RTW episode and thought how comfortable can leather pants be when they're that tight? Clearly not very much since it lasted three matches.
YUR GN DWN YUR GN DWN! Ah... Ahmed... could barely talk, but he looked pretty cool for a little while. This chant was used again and again in place of actual promos.
Nice vindaloo just arrived time to watch this, watched this era back then was 12 & rewatched '96-'02 since then & 96-97 Bret is just insufferable. I liked he was face in Canada that was cool but it reminds me of Cm Punks entire 2013 just crying the whole time.
Flash Funk a.k.a Too Cold Scorpio = One of the Most Underrated Wrestlers/Preformers of All Time!
Luckily he has a good run in Japan after he leaves the fed. WWF really didn’t understand that changing dudes names did nothing but hurt their recognition.
I agree with you on that...also so was Leif Cassidy a.k.a. Al Snow. Also his teaming with Marty Jannetty as the New Rockers was promoted so poorly--they were definitely more skilled in the ring but the geek image was totally wrong for them.
He is still wrestling. Just saw him in Minnesota two months ago. Kurt Angle, Tatanka and King Lawler were there as well.
@@musc1esman hell yeah! That's awesome
@@Thor-Orion 00000
If you keep this up until Vince buys WCW, this will still be going in 2025.
That's fine by me.
Agreed
That’s a lot of work. However it would be awesome and why start an awesome series like this if your not going to finish it.
I mean we're this far in. We should at least get through 1998.
Till then he will have 2 to 5 million subscribers
Don't do that. 🥺
Don't get my hopes up.🥺
Man, seeing your logo in my notifications makes my day.
Sid's intro music remains excellent.
Give me hell yeah
Crazy that it'll be time to review the year 1997 soon. Time flies by fast when your having fun.
The best year for wrestling IMO ever.
Can't freaking wait
My boy wrestling bios at it again pumping out that quality content. Many many thanks to you brother!
You know who won the Karate Fighters Tournament? The World did. All hail Cyber Fists!
Sycho sids entrance music is super underrated…Jim Johnson had a way to make music that fit the character better than anything else could…
His Sid Justice theme was awesome too
Vince pushing Shawn at this time was nauseating! Great vid again.. keep up the good work.
Really was embarrassing to listen to
Maybe so, but Shawn Michaels was the best pro lwrestler on the planet in 1996. I can understand Vince wanting to promote his most prized asset.
@@mikeabel7577 Definitely. Bias aside, that's the fact.
With having the biggest crush ever on HBK before even knowing what that was because I was so young, I felt like the entire show could be Shawn lol
I like how the best Goddamn PPV recaps on TH-cam are just companion pieces to the Reliving The War series. Really shows the level you're operating at.
Funny how this PPV was called “It’s Time” and Vader didn’t appear on the show. I thought WWE named this show after one of his catchphrases.
Vader was supposed to of won the title at Survivor Series. Which is why the PPV is named after his catchphrase. Guess it was too late to change the name.
Vader would have been better.
Vader was injured at Survivor Series.
@@therealDJG I thought it was because Shaun was being a diva
@@TheKizly he was not injured
Bret Hart was gold late 96 to 97. Promo, wrestling and attitude everything was fablous.
🐐🐐🐐

When it comes to 2 Cold Scorpio/Flash Funk, I was always impressed a guy who wasn't a naturally skinny dude could do the high flying stuff really well. And he could make it fit into his gimmick as well
"Completely cabbaged" ... god, I haven't heard that phrase In years, made me LOL.
Bret's rope, the most dangerous rope.
Karate Fighters Championship needs "You think you're special" line from My Way
There's ".....just one...more fight....."
@@Atroz7 I c wut u did thar
Gordy’s knee was shot for nearly a decade at this point. It’s expected he’d be a poor reflection of himself.
Gordy was beat up at this point 5 or 6 years earlier he would of been main eventing alot of these cards
Hell yeah getting in on the ground floor on this video. I think you should give these videos their own subtitles like "Reliving The War: Major Battles" or something on those lines. Keep up the great content as always.
But why would you subtitle something in that way if it isn’t a compilation?
@@Thor-Orion This is a good point, maybe something more akin to "Behind the lines"?

Over half an hour of wrestling bios entertainment? Yes pls ❤️
Feels like over night the wrestling bios channel has become the ultimate wrestling channel!
I love how the Bret’s rope thing keeps going
The connect the dots of Sid was hilarious!!
Sid did Steiner maths before it was a thing
Any time it's a chin lock I hear Davey Boy Smith Chin lock now
😂😂😂 me too
Everytime a chin lock is applied, a british bulldog gets it's wings
I always thought flash funk was dope. Sad he never got a push. From I remember
He is still great! Too Cold Scorpio! Smoking joints in the ring! It’s great!
Just when I needed something new to watch! Thanks!
I've gotta say, this particular In Your House show has always been a bit of a hard watch for me. It's just a very messy and awkward ppv, but you simply covering it and offering some fresh perspective made it a helluva lot better and entertaining!😆

Flash funk was supremely underrated. He did things in the ring that no one else in the wwf could do at the time.
I just wish they left I’m as Scorpio. He was soo good and had a legit career. Could have been a good contender for the IC title
@@johnepants his impact in the ring is still influencing wrestling
Question for the Nation of Domination: “Who thought Crush was a good fit for the group? And how quickly were they fired?”
lmao I always wondered that. When I was younger, I thought he might have been Puerto Rican lmao
I think it was just because Crush was already managed by Clarence Mason.
@@Brhoward31 Bryan was half Hawaiian and he's from Hawaii his crush gimmick was based on who he really was there's a few good shoots on Brian speaking on it
I'm just saying this for the fans who think Brian was a "culture vulture"
Owen is half creek Indian on his mom's side , even the Rock and deelo are both half black
It was a pro minority heel group for the most part
cuz, you know, god forbid we make the nation of domination into a non-racist faction. cant have that.
At least WWF did nothing with 'Diesel' after they dumped that stupid gimmick.
Seriously. That guy had no future.
@@jmalb42 I wonder if he burned his gear.
Your number 1 brother! You got me through some difficult and hard times last couple years. Thank you 🙏
I remember watching this ppv with my friends and family it was fun
That Sid remix gave me more goosebumps than the original theme ever could.
My favourite wrestling channel on TH-cam.. thanks for putting in so much hard work, legend... we all apreciate it..
Oh man, I just knew you were gonna say Ahmed lost his smile. 😂😂 I was on baited breath, man.
Sid sandbagged Bret the way he tripped and dropped prematurely
“Completely cabbaged” is such a great expression.
Couldn't ask for a better end to the week. What an event and what a channel to cover it. Wrestling Bios 😎
Of all the people, that big goof Sid was the one guy Bret never beat during this era.
sid never won clean against bret or shawn micheals
7:09 “flash does a little show boating and this was a mistake.” - the seriousness you delivered this line cracked me up
I am from Eastern Canada, and my region FINALLY got access to PPVs near mid-1996. There were 2 that we didn't bother with. the July In Your House, and the December In Your House. Even as full marks, we knew the concept of a throwaway B PPV. LOL :)
Love these classic ppv reviews
Man, I wish there was a way to buy the "set" of the whole Monday Night Wars and associated PPV reviews on DVD when it's done / Halfway done / Made in Volume sets. I'd shell out so much for that.
In honour of 90s wrestling tape trading, I'm dubbing them on to VHS tapes.
Now there's an idea. I would love to then burn them back to DVD so they really get that old world feel.
This is an awesome thread for real
I think "Diesel" and "Razor Ramon" got the title match as a shot at Hall and Nash being WcW tag champs.
It would have been funny if they won 😆
@@DebitAdams Vince wouldn't allow that just because I'd give Hall and Nash material. "We're so great, we have titles in both companies.", Etc, etc.
@n/a Are you stupid? Lmao. They can't CALL themselves those names but they can say what I said. Saying "We're double champions, we won belts in another company too" is vague enough to not get into trouble, but people know what they mean.

@@GeekExtremist Definitely would say that
Your music edits are spot on my friend I say this as a musician myself fantastic mixes and content as always!
15:12
"Helmsley and Mero go noes to noes, and Jim Ross says, this gives Hunter an advantage! Great One Jim!" I laughed hard at this, xD
I swear been checking all day couldnt wait
love your videos, please keep up the good work. I grew up in the middle of the war so its good to watch it back from both sides (was more of a WWF guy)
Thank you for recognizing "Brets rope"
Oh boy I was excited for this upload
2 Cold has such an incredible moonsault. it's one of those things like Okada's dropkick where you can't even measure why but it just looks so amazing
Thanks for another great vid dude
Great stuff love seeing a notification from wrestlingbios
Wow, I never realized how good Flash Funk actually was
19:00 - "It looks like we're gonna see a Goldust/Triple H feud play out on Reliving the War from next week onward."

I went, I was 9, it was a great time.
Bret Hart showing some heel tendencies at this point, lol.

This is the best channel on all of the TH-cams
Been watching for awhile now. Thanks so much for making these videos man.
Was this one of the earliest occasions thst a ppv entrance was used as a weapon in the wwe
Wrestling was good back in this era💪
Vince McMahon dancing with 2 cold Scorpio is classic
Wrestling Bios with another banger love seeing the notifications for The Channel
Dude! You were on botchamania! That's awesome, your videos are perfection

8:00 the kick...dive to the outside and that moonsault...beautiful. **chef kiss**
2 Cold Scorpio was ahead of his time. What an absolute entertainer. One of my favorites when I was 12.
Hey at least they sold the EXECUTIONER rolling in the River by him coming to the ring with wet boots
I live right down the road from the West Palm Auditorium. Had no idea there was an in your house ppv there. That’s awesome. Great review.
Flash flunk was great
First ppv I ever attended live
As always best wrestling time machine on TH-cam
Can you please do a career bio coverage of 2 Cold Scorpio/Flash Funk as man had such a fantastic career

There are attitude era events in the back catalogue though I think... not associated with Reliving the War, but on their own terms.
Undertaker was awesome and extraordinary back in the day
The Nation was obviously asked to translate what Ahmed Johnson had said because ol' mushmouth Ahmed was tough to understand.
