I don't think many people really appreciate how academic this series actually is. This would be a perfect series to cite in a history paper on wrestling.
Facts and we get our own look and give our own opinions on the Monday night wars instead of what WWE decided happened and how important or unimportant it was
Young fans have no idea how big the Tyson and Austin confrontation was. It was huge! It made the Irish news and the next day in school, people who had little interest in Wrestling since the 80s were coming up to me talking about it. It really made the WWF interesting again.
@@lm4585 it was Tyson dude. The entire 90's was like this. I think that's something he should talk about more on his podcast. Maybe have Steve Austin come on for an episode around Wrestlemani s.
@@kylelongwar356 The Mania XIV event is what was about to make Stone Cold in tint. Tyson was a truly a massive star, everywhere he went and everything he did got coverage on tv, often on mainstream news programming. Steve would start getting that treatment towards the beginning of 99.
This was the moment WWF gained mainstream popularity again. The ball kept rolling from there. It’s a good job Tyson was professional all through this. Can you imagine the embarrassment to the WWF and Austin if Tyson decided to shoot on Austin.
My brother in law remembers being at Raw that week and seeing Tyson and Austin erupt. Crazy, but man, 1998 was the year of Stone Cold in a lot of ways.
@@reddhead2948 TBF I never counted The last bets with Shawn Michaels as a part of the attitude era .. I may be in the minority… But when Austin beat Michael’s for me that was the beginning!
@@marcusgray6501 for me it didn't start till stone cold steve austin got hit with a spinning piledriver from Zangief.....man that was truly the beginning!
And just like that WWF was mainstream popular again. That was one of the differences between WWFs booking and WCWs. WWF knew what they had to do to become popular in the mainstream. While WCW had tried with various celebrities but failed, especially outside of the states.
Im not so sure of that though he might have been a wrestling fan but it had nothing to do with money. He was a troubled kid with a sick mom and a dad who wasn't there. By the time he was 13 he had a rap sheet 38 crimes long. While he was in Juvi a detention officer took him under his wing and recognized his talent at fighting. He trained him a bit and introduced him to legendary boxing trainer Cus D'Amato. Cus took him in like he was his own kid and when Tysons mom died Cus outright adopted him. Cus was tough but fair with him and did his best to keep him on the straight and narrow. He had his first professional boxing match at 18 and the rest is history. He was wrapped up so quickly in the boxing world I'm not sure he ever really had time to think it through or choose a profession. His profession was chosen by the time he was 13. He was either going to make some money boxing or die poor boxing but boxing was his only outlet to the streets.
I am so linked with this series, hands down the best weekly show on TH-cam. Thank you for all you do Ryan, I've said it 1,000 times in your comment section but I respect you Bio-Man.
Nah, sorry but Bret doesn't just get to come in and take the main event spot in WCW when there were many in the queue ahead of him. His time would come - Bret is one of only nine WCW Triple Crown Champions and had an amazing run with the company - but he had to wait his turn.
Thank you so much for everything! It could be so simple to make this comment on every video you make. But I just feel like you are outstanding at everything that you do with this channel. I honestly will go back and start from episode one when this series comes to an end just to go through it all over again.
29:53 Such irony that a few years later, The Rock says he remembers Chris Jericho being down South beating up a jabroni named Juventud that led to shots being fired as Juventud started his mockery of Rock gimmick, and then in 2001 when Rock suspects Jericho on being the defector to the Alliance by claiming while he was main eventing in WWF, Jericho was in WCW having matches with Juventud Guerrera as everyone in the background laughed, but here's Rock in action at the same time as Jericho vs Juvi
Another awesome upload from the wrestling channel on the planet with the most jam. The Tyson Austin angle was one of the most important moments in the “war”. It started the swing of momentum back to WWF and where as WCW were still running with the same old NWO on top. WWF were going from strength to strength. Gaining mainstream, worldwide attention. WCW had tried to gain mainstream attention in the past, with celebrities very few people outside of the states cared about, however failed. I think from this week on WWF are going to start running away with the week to week comparison and before long will be back on top in the ratings, leaving WCW for dust. Can you imagine in an alternative play of events. Tyson not playing along. Taking offence to Austin and knocking him out? How embarrassing would that have been to Austin and the WWF and how would that have effected things moving forward? Also during 97 Shamrock called Tyson out and never got a reply. It never gets mentioned. However at this time both men were in the same company at the same time. I wonder what would have happened if it was given a green light and we got a shoot fight between Shamrock and Tyson?
"You got your lil' beedy eyes, locked on to the eyes, of THE-WORLD'S-TOUGHEST-SON-OF-A-B!TCH"..I will never forget that. Everybody was talkin' about that Tuesday morning in Highschool. That Tyson Austin stand off was EPIC!!!!!!! And the electricity in that stadium comin' through the TV's was unreal ⚡⚡⚡
I was at the Superdome for this Nitro - a fun part of this was some of the wrestlers locker rooms were on the opposite side of the Dome from where the entrance was. There used to be a large gap between the 1st deck stands and the concourse so when crossing between the two you could see below and heckle wrestlers walking back and forth. Went to the bathroom during a commercial break and Eddie was walking to the back - he was getting heckled big time! Could tell he loved it too, giving people the finger with a smile on his face.
For a kid who was only born in 97 and missed all of this going back with this series is great to relive all the historic moments from the Monday Night Wars without having to actually watch them all.
Always look at Thursday just for this. Grew up watching Jim Crockett promotions. Was a teenager when this happened. Thank you for bringing me back to a better and simpler time
Owen would have gone "down south," if Vince wasn't obsessed with killing him to really "stick it" to Bret since Bret wouldn't let him stick it to him the way Shawn let Vince stick it to him.
Marty was brought in to be a high profile, high ability (especially at selling), well liked jobber. Yes WCW had a stacked roster, but they really didn't have a lot of guys who they could use as Jobbers that would actually mean something when he put them over. They probably should have given him a couple of wins against local talent types so that he wouldn't be a strict jobber and not lose every match.
It's okay, the Quebecers might not be French-Canadians anymore, but they are still amazing. That's a really weird outcome. Mick Foley was a huge ascending star.
The Steiners break up kind of soon, but I'm pretty sure it's after The Outsiders split, which kind of overshadows it. I would have booked it to happen in the opposite order, because the Outsiders split leads directly to the Wolfpack versus Hollywood feud.
23:18 Fantastic take here. Great example of why the common "Starrcade 97 was the beginning of the end" narrative is just flat-out wrong. WCW was still getting tremendous heat all up and down the card in the early months of 1998. Their death was more of a slow one. People prefer quick and simple hot takes over nuance, but the truth is that they made a series of mistakes in late 1998 and early 1999 that led to the company's downfall. In fact, if there was any one thing that hurt the company tremendously in late 97/early 98, it was probably the creation of Thunder. The company was too much of a mess to pull off 5 hours of primetime programming on a weekly basis. Thunder hurt the product way more than the outcome of Sting/Hogan at Starrcade. Edit: wow, apparently great minds think alike because you covered that right after the Sting save. Nice!
Well, a lot of those booking mistakes in late 1998 and early 1999 mirrored the failure of Starrcade. Squandering long term booking decisions, backstage politics, etc.
Fun Fact: This was the year I started watching Wrestling....My first show was a WCW Nitro episode from this year. My first match I saw......Disco Inferno.
Dude... let Me tell you how much I appreciate your work. It takes so much time, effort, and dedication to make these masterpieces and here you are dishing em out like hot cakes. Great work My man just wanted to show My gratitude and appreciation. 💯🙌
Man, I don't know your name or what you look like. But you're my brother, brother! I love reliving the war. Been watching every episode since EP.01. I haven't missed a single episode. 98 was my favorite year too.
Man that "he's an animal" bit ROFL!! And trying that link you did by adding Saturday Wright Fever, Classic! Loved this ep and the confrontation between Tyson and Austin.
you're still improving and getting more confident video by video, it's been awesome to be a part of your growth and this is by far the best series I've watched probably about anything, not just wrestling.
I personally wonder if Eric was beginning to get nervous at this point. The ratings gap was shrinking and Tyson's arrival was a big cue for mainstream attention. WWF felt like they were just getting more and more momentum.
A Relieving the War episode on my Birthday, awesome stuff as always, love the series and it's ongoing little gags, I hope "He must be good at it" becomes a recurring joke for when You Suck chants happen :D
I'm excited to see your review of Souled Out. It was the only PPV I have ever been to. I was lucky enough to be 4th row on the floor. Macho and Lex spilled into the crowd about 10 feet from me. Plus seeing the Giant dumped on his head from a botched Nash powerbomb. The ref did the injury signal right away. Plus, Miss Elizabeth is gorgeous in person.
With everything going on in WWE and AEW right now the timing of your Reliving The War series and what's going on in WCW and WWF at this point is oddly fitting to what's going on right now.
People think it was Tyson on RAW that shifted the Monday Night Wars to WWF taking the lead. It's possible. But in actuality it was WCW not booking Alex Wright on Nitro for like 8 weeks straight.
Always really liked Martel. Really happy to see he got a great reaction here. I will never forget being a kid and watching WWF Saturday Morning Wrestling. Always just squash matches but on this particular episode Strike Force beat the Hart Foundation for the belts. A belt change on that show was unheard of. Anvil submitted to Martel's Boston Crab. Also remember when the Hart's cut their first promo after losing and the Anvil saying that the ref just asked him if it hurt. He never asked if he wanted to submit....just if it hurt. And it did hirt so the Anvil was just telling the truth. Great stuff!
I was at this Raw and can remember that on the local Fresno news later that night, they interviewed Vince in character immediately after this and it was amazing. I wish I could find it somewhere online.
Looking at Scott Steiner then compared to now, there are STILL people out there saying he doesn't use steroids. There's growth, then there's GROWTH. He isn't superhuman, and you don't get to look like he does without chemical help.
I don't think many people really appreciate how academic this series actually is. This would be a perfect series to cite in a history paper on wrestling.
It's more than just a daft wrestling show , it's THE best way to "relive" or just experience this truly iconic legendary period in wrestling
And his little touches are what do it... like Alex Wright's big bratwurst or constant ripping on Glacier.

Fun Fact: Mike Tyson actually wanted to be a Wrestler but once he saw the traveling schedule of pro wrestlers, he decided to become a boxer.
Plus he probably looked at what they get money wise and he could make so much more 🤑
Wrestling money is pocket change compared to money made from doing a few big fights in boxing.
He made hbk s career in like 3 fights maybe less in his prime
Im not so sure of that though he might have been a wrestling fan but it had nothing to do with money. He was a troubled kid with a sick mom and a dad who wasn't there. By the time he was 13 he had a rap sheet 38 crimes long. While he was in Juvi a detention officer took him under his wing and recognized his talent at fighting.

The ending of Starcade should've been the genesis of a Hogan vs Hart ppv match. The storyline was there, flair vs hart was random.

“Which does give me hope that the Nitro main event may have a clean finish.”
Nitro clean finish is an oxymoron
I've never been so happy for a match to not end in a DQ. Not sure what I would do with my Thursday evenings without reliving the war.
