Yeah I'm about to be 38 in a couple weeks. I remember at high school, the cool seniors came up to me and asked if I wanted to go see nitro that night. That was when they would bomb the ring with trash and warrior would do those lights out appearances. That was when I was a freshman. On the ride there, they had some Gatorade and vodka. Cool night. Won't forget it. Haha look at this shitty card lol Wrath defeated Mike Enos Dean Malenko defeated Kaz Hayashi Konnan defeated Jim Neidhart Steve McMichael defeated Scotty Riggs Scott Norton defeated Rick Fuller Lex Luger defeated Brian Adams WCW TV Champion Chris Jericho defeated Curt Hennig WCW World Champion Bill Goldberg & Kevin Nash defeated Hulk Hogan & The Giant
When I was five I watched Thursday Night Smackdown and become hooked with wrestling ever since. The Attitude era was just the icing on the cake of fans
@@rulerofall015 I started watching some time around 2006-07. I was drawn to Rey Mysterio, Jeff Hardy, and Shawn Michaels. Crazy how two thirds of these guys are still wrestling somewhat often today (Jeff kinda counts for me since he was wrestling often until the DUI thing).
The debut of the New Age Outlaws signature entrance music, as well as their first of many historic tag team title reigns began here. Rumor has it that the LOD did not want to do the job and drop the titles at the DX PPV, so they decided to job on this episode of Raw.
@@toptenguy1 USA network was part of a cable subscription... not free. Even back then, cable packages were 50-60 dollars monthly, if not more. That said, the TV ratings were always higher than the PPV buy rates, so either way you're right about that.
I look forward to "Reliving the War" in much the same way I used to look forward to watching Raw and Nitro back in the day! Unfortunately, going forward... that feeling of frustration when watching Nitro is going to come more and more often. But at least RAW keeps getting better!
It’s the proper way to do it. While watching peacock is still an option, this feels more in depth of both shows and that doing this weekly makes us feel we’re watching it live all over again
@@rulerofall015 Exactly. Not to mention the fact that Peacock heavily edits their entire wrestling catalog. Also, I don't subscribe to Peacock. I stick with Pluto TV and TH-cam... because they're free, like tv should be.
I feel the same way, in a couple of months we get to WrestleMania 14 and after that its all uphill for Raw while things begin to go downhill for Nitro.
Because Raven signed a contract with WCW, we get to see Raven every week on Reliving The War. Thanks, Raven. Dude, I owned that Alex Wright figure back in the day! And now I don't own it anymore! I never knew I would own what would end up becoming the most valuable action figure on the planet. And Rock's reaction to the pager was perfect!
I know this gets said alot but man I love this series. I was a teenager at the time of the Monday Night Wars. And these videos bring back so many memories and not just about the shows. This is almost embarrassing to remember but I recall how serious the war got in school. We had people picking sides and joining factions. At lunch you would have the NWO with a couple tables, DX at another, even the Horseman had thier own table (doing Horseman business obviously) . Lol
I wish I went to your school... I would've been a total degenerate! Well I already WAS. But it would have been cool if more of my class mates had the same love for it as I did.
This is why I love this series because I had totally forgot about this business of Neidhart being a member of DX very briefly. I must have still been recovering from the Montreal incident at the time.
Just wanted to notify everyone that I put the Chinlock on my depression and made it tap out! Thank God. And also big thanks to Wrestling Bios for helping me beat it
Especially considering how relatively short-lived the original faction (HBK, HGH, Chyna) actually was... less than a year in total, before Shawn left. Then HGH started the DX army with the Outlaws and X-Pac, which definitely was a legendary stable in their own right... but they still can't hold a candle to the original D-X!
I think I agree with Mick Foley when he said he thought Raw was the better show for about a year before Raw finally overtook Nitro in the ratings. I think I can already guess that Raw is going to win the point again next week.
WWF was absolutely catching fire from the top to the bottom of the card at this point, just as WCW started to trip all over themselves to ruin the great stuff they had going.
I would agree with Mick Foley also. It must have been frustrating knowing your company had the better product for sometime. However losing in the ratings week after week. I would say the problems started before Starrcade 97. As the product with Hogan and the NWO on top was already stale by this point. These are opinions I have formed through watching reliving the war.
@@martynodonnell8467 sure. I think the problem started with the short reign of Luger. He was so over, and a change for a couple of month would have been good. And another problem was DDP. The feud with Savage was really really good. But he was still there in the card. More over but less then the NWO
"Nitro was just really frustrating to watch this week" - The final comment of Reliving the War every week from now until the end of the series (probably).
Like D'Lo's injured chest, like Goldberg's streak, like Hogan's ego.....this channel needs to be protected. When the almighty Bookers known as WWE and TH-cam try to take the Jam out of our donut we all need to give them a huge "That doesn't work for me brother." Everyone knows when you're Wrestling Bios you're Wrestling Bios 4-Life.
This series has made me appreciate wrestlers I didn’t think much of. Disco Inferno is one of those wrestlers, though I thought there was always a good worker in him. I just think back to his match with Benoit where he had to fight for every inch.
Best series on TH-cam for me hands down. I absolutely love and respect what u do and the hard work u put into these videos. You're the truth man and you've definitely got the jam!
I was watching this when it aired and the Austin - Rock sequence was hilarious af. Just flawless. Rock and Austin in late 1997 is the feud that catapulted Austin into the stratosphere. Rock himself looked fabulous coming out of it but for The Rock, it wasn't til a year later where he *really* shotgunned, when his feud with Mankind took off after the whole Corporate angle, positioning him for the real blow-off at WMXV and Backlash, which then lead to the Night After Backlash where they just gave in and faceturned him.
Austin was already over before feuding with Rock, but this was definitely the feud that saved Rock's career. I'm a little ahead and let's just say Rock was getting more heel heat than HBK was.
Yeah, Austin had been in and out of the main event scene for a while and in the wake of reclaiming the IC Title at Survivor Series, just went to the top and didn't look back. Rock got to tag along and this feud played out perfectly for what was to come. And yeah, heel Rock throughout 98 picked up how to play the crowd like a fiddle to a degree only a few could ever manage.
Mankind, The Rock will take your ass to the English announce table, the Spanish announce table, HOCHI MENG CHOW! Chinese announce table. All languages down The Rock's rumble!
Meng was such a beast. I wish he would have been pushed as the badass he was. It would have been great seeing him involved more. He was one of my favourite dudes growing up.
Rock was defiantly turning into the Rock we love the heel turn did him wonders . His selling is fantastic.. also the Austin pager pit was hilarious coming into the rumble
I know what I am about to say is in hindsight. But, it's a shame IMO the Bret Hart and Vince McMahon weren't able to come to agreement that allowed Bret to stay in the WWE. WCW so poorly misused him. I think there could of been some good Hart Foundation vs DX stories if he had stayed with WWE.
If Bret stayed maybe HBK doesn’t face Taker in a casket match at Royal Rumble, which means he doesn’t have to retire in 98, which keeps him and Bret in the Attitude Era, which changes everything. It’s crazy how much different things would be if one or both stayed in the WWF. By March 98 both were gone.
I’m on my lunch at work currently and I wanna watch this video now but I rather go watch when I’m out of work to help me get through the Los Angeles Traffic !!!! Thanks for the consistent uploads man 💯
I honestly never knew about Jim Neidhart's post-Survivor Series appearances, so seeing him here & teased for next week was a shocker. All you ever hear about it Owen's return at the DX: IYH PPV, so it's interesting & honestly a little weird to see Jim be the actual first person from the Hart Foundation to do anything with DX after the Screwjob. As for Nitro, it really does look like WCW was just resting on their laurels by this point & felt untouchable. Little wonder why the WWF would eventually break the streak after Mania XIV now.
Hey, man! Just wanted to come by and let you know that "Wrestling Shoot Interviews" asked Alex Wright about your "Saturday Wright Fever" segment. He didn't say much about it, but I thought it was cool that your videos are being brought up to wrestlers!
Another great episode. It kicked some fanny. Thanks, Raven. When I watched these shows in real time 25 years ago, I was all ate up with Sunny and Sable (with good reason), but watching this series now…my goodness, Miss Elizabeth was just so damn gorgeous. Such a shame how things ended for her. I totally forgot about DX playing Anvil like a chump. Poor guy.
@@cyrus2546 I don’t remember. I remember just thinking it was so strange. I wasn’t even aware of the screw job or Bret leaving at the time. So I was very confused.
Welcome to Thursday Afternoon Reliving the War. The best wrestling show on the TH-cams. Thanks once again for another trip down Memory Lane...and near Thanksgiving. A great holiday.
Props to Ken Shamrock. If you've heard any of his interviews you'd know he was trying to do the right thing and pay his dues in his transition to wrestling but obviously management had bigger plans too soon.
Imagine Hall winning the WCW world title … (I think tht would’ve been a great pop) and they split the nWo like that. Wolfpac vs Hollywood… would’ve been better than dragging it on forever …
Finally got free time to watch the episode. Cannot believe that we're so close the infamous Sting vs Hogan match. This series has come a long way and i have enjoyed every second of it 🔥💯
HEY I GOTTA SAY THAT YOU ARE DOING AN AWSOME JOB WITH THIS SERIRS AND I AM LOVING THESE VIDEOS KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK WITH THIS CANT WAIT FOR THE FULL PLAYLIST WHEN EVERYTHING HAS BEEN DONE
To think in a couple of months we get to relieve the last Shawn Michaels vs Stone Cold rivalry and WM 14, and then it really gets interesting as the Attitude Era really picks up and the downfall of WCW begins.
How did they get Jim Neidhart to go along with this? Was he not pissed about the Montreal Screwjob. It’s one thing to continue working there like Owen did because he didn’t think he could get out of his contract, but if Anvil was upset about Survivor Series, why did he agree to this storyline? He should have said “that doesn’t work for me, brother!”
I freaking love these videos. Keep up the good work. I was 14 at this time during the war, the perfect age to be a wrestling fan. I had an nWo shirt while everyone at my school would have DX shirts. I wasn't watching Raw at this time because TSN (in Canada) just picked up Nitro the day after Survivor Series. It's cool to see what Raw was actually doing, and that they were putting out a superior product vs Nitro.
i remember watching WcW Saturday Night mainly for Goldberg. His entrance from the opening door and running to the ring and end it in 10 seconds was amazing. Reliving the war is a monument to Alex Wright.
Looool the final fantasy reference. You'd definitely be one of my best friends if we were locals 😂. You are killing it. I watch your old videos all the time. You're gonna make it. Great job !
I absolutely love that you play Disco Inferno’s entrance music the entire time you review his matches. It’s become my favourite part of these reviews. I only wish WCW had done this for real during Disco’s matches, it would have been so much better than New Jack wrestling with Natural Born Killers playing the entire time, lol
Oh Big Bratwurst! Just discovered this channel recently and you've reignited my late 90s obsession haha. Alex Wright and Disco Inferno. 2 very underrated talents. I know nostalgia plays a role in my opinion, but today's wrestling isn't as entertaining. Keep up the good work. Your videos are great!
When Sting drop through the ring 😆 That part was funny. I liked your reaction to it wrestling bios it's the best part about BTW love your videos keep up the excellent work bro.
Man, the Brad Armstrong bit (on the same night the New Age Outlaws debuted their iconic entrance theme, no less) reminded me that ahead of us in this series, there will be... **sigh** Roadkill.
If you seen the wrestling with shadows documentary there’s a scene we’re Bret was at home watching the mini Brett segment on tv and you could see by Bret’s face he didn’t find it very amusing at all
Disco's dancing montage was so amazing. Been listening to his podcast for a few years now. It's the only wrestling podcast I listen to these days aside from a few random clips of JR here and there.
Having not watched wrestling during this time period, it's fascinating to see the beginnings of historic moments, as well as little things that I never knew happened. I had no idea until now that Jim Neidhart joined DX for one night
With how rocky my week has been with having to redo my registration for my car which is bs and other things. But I can always rely on reliving my childhood with this episode of reliving the war.
38 years old now. Was there at age 14-17 during this incredible era of pro wrestling. This show brings me back every single week. WB 4 Life!
Same here brother. What a ride.
We were lucky. We didn't grow up with WWF. The WWF grew up with US!
Right? I'm 46...Reliving the War is an amazing series. Takes you right back to those late 90s Monday nights!!
🍺⚡🍺
I'm 41, so a couple years older... but I was there too, man.... I was *THERE* !
*WE* were there!
Yeah I'm about to be 38 in a couple weeks. I remember at high school, the cool seniors came up to me and asked if I wanted to go see nitro that night. That was when they would bomb the ring with trash and warrior would do those lights out appearances. That was when I was a freshman. On the ride there, they had some Gatorade and vodka. Cool night. Won't forget it. Haha look at this shitty card lol
Wrath defeated Mike Enos
Dean Malenko defeated Kaz Hayashi
Konnan defeated Jim Neidhart
Steve McMichael defeated Scotty Riggs
Scott Norton defeated Rick Fuller
Lex Luger defeated Brian Adams
WCW TV Champion Chris Jericho defeated Curt Hennig
WCW World Champion Bill Goldberg & Kevin Nash defeated Hulk Hogan & The Giant
ahh yes.. here we are gathered together again to watch another GLORIOUS episode of the greatest series in TH-cam history.. "RELIVING THE WAR" 🙌
It really is I've been watching since episode 1 and I can honestly say this is just like waiting for dragon ball z to come on back in the toonami days
The highlight of my week at the moment
Love this series. Wasn't born until 2002, so this series is definitely a cool way to go through the history of the attitude era.
When I was five I watched Thursday Night Smackdown and become hooked with wrestling ever since. The Attitude era was just the icing on the cake of fans
2002?! Way to make everyone feel old haha!
@@rulerofall015 I started watching some time around 2006-07. I was drawn to Rey Mysterio, Jeff Hardy, and Shawn Michaels. Crazy how two thirds of these guys are still wrestling somewhat often today (Jeff kinda counts for me since he was wrestling often until the DUI thing).
Damn i was born in 87 and watched all this growing up. And now i feel old.
2002 is my favorite year in WWE so you were born in a great year
The debut of the New Age Outlaws signature entrance music, as well as their first of many historic tag team title reigns began here. Rumor has it that the LOD did not want to do the job and drop the titles at the DX PPV, so they decided to job on this episode of Raw.
That's kind of weird, as there would be more people seeing the title loss on free TV. lol
If hawk wasnt so messed up they prpn woulf habe pushed them more

If you want something you gotta pay for it somehow
Because Raven signed a contract with WCW, we get to see Raven every week on Reliving The War. Thanks, Raven.

@@robertfeldman2417 it was the nwo wolfpac for me good times🤣😭
We did da smae thing at my highschool during this time😂😁
We had that too in my Highschool in 1998. We had nWo, Wolfpack, DX, NOD, and Horsemen. I was part of the DX table
After quite a shitty day, this has put me in a better mood. Thank you as always for the entertainment and stress relief.
Hope it's better
This is why I love this series because I had totally forgot about this business of Neidhart being a member of DX very briefly. I must have still been recovering from the Montreal incident at the time.
Just wanted to notify everyone that I put the Chinlock on my depression and made it tap out!
Thank God.
And also big thanks to Wrestling Bios for helping me beat it
Job that jamless depression out!
nice dude
That's great to hear
“Uuuuuuhhhhhh yeeeeeaaaahhh!!”💪
Respect
That DX run in the late 90's was legendary
They werent even together for a year tbh But they had a big impact for being such short lived.
Especially considering how relatively short-lived the original faction (HBK, HGH, Chyna) actually was... less than a year in total, before Shawn left. Then HGH started the DX army with the Outlaws and X-Pac, which definitely was a legendary stable in their own right... but they still can't hold a candle to the original D-X!

By far this is what I look forward to on Thursdays. Thanks for making the day 40 minutes better. Great content as always.
I almost forgot I was at this event when it happened.. RAW that is...it was a huge pop..... well for little people
Man, Shawn Michaels and Raw giving everybody a master lesson in how to take advantage of an opportunity and generate some serious serious heat!
For real theres no real heat anymore ...I think heel HBK was my favorite
Great work!!! Longest running weekly episodic show on TH-cam. Thanks for all you do.
Another Thursday complete. Almost at the nitro event that I attended. I can't wait for that episode
I've really been enjoying the Reliving the War series - and your recap is spot on - awesomely done!
Meng was such a beast. I wish he would have been pushed as the badass he was. It would have been great seeing him involved more. He was one of my favourite dudes growing up.
Best part of my week, thank you Bio-Man.
Very nice!

Was the crowd as dead silent as it appeared on TV when DX brought put the midget?

Welcome to Thursday Afternoon Reliving the War. The best wrestling show on the TH-cams. Thanks once again for another trip down Memory Lane...and near Thanksgiving. A great holiday.
I love this series!! Sad so many wrestlers are gone ...
109 episodes in and many years of playing WCW/nWo Revenge, and the Starrcade Theme is still as badass as ever
Props to Ken Shamrock. If you've heard any of his interviews you'd know he was trying to do the right thing and pay his dues in his transition to wrestling but obviously management had bigger plans too soon.
Nothing to do with the video but shout out to the fan at AEW last night with the "JR is a jam up guy" sign
Addicted to Your Weekly Videos!!!!
Man I Miss The Late 90s So Much🥺🥺🥺
Somebody Needs To Build a Time Machine!!!!
Thank YOU for The Nostalgia Weekly
Imagine Hall winning the WCW world title … (I think tht would’ve been a great pop) and they split the nWo like that. Wolfpac vs Hollywood… would’ve been better than dragging it on forever …
I forget every week that this show drops on thursday, and every week i get gitty with excitement when i see a new episode. Thatnk you soo much 👍
That awesome moment you load up TH-cam and see the latest Reliving the War has been uploaded.
Thank you so much for this series
The opening to your videos are top notch... some would say too sweet 🤘
Loving the series so far.
Finally got free time to watch the episode. Cannot believe that we're so close the infamous Sting vs Hogan match. This series has come a long way and i have enjoyed every second of it 🔥💯
Saving this as my reward for cleaning the house later on. Wish me luck
Sgt Slaughter and Larry Zbyszko two former rivals in the AWA doing promos on Raw and Nitro at the same time
I was a WCW guy until 99. That's when the WWF started getting good.
HEY I GOTTA SAY THAT YOU ARE DOING AN AWSOME JOB WITH THIS SERIRS AND I AM LOVING THESE VIDEOS KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK WITH THIS CANT WAIT FOR THE FULL PLAYLIST WHEN EVERYTHING HAS BEEN DONE
Rewatching again from the beginning. Great series bud 👍🏼.
Finish work on Friday; off to the pub. Few beers with my mates. Back home, night-cap, Reliving The War! BOOM! Cracking channel :) .
Awesome, always the best notification to pop up, thank you!!
To think in a couple of months we get to relieve the last Shawn Michaels vs Stone Cold rivalry and WM 14, and then it really gets interesting as the Attitude Era really picks up and the downfall of WCW begins.
"That's right, a broken bone spread throughout his body"
Gold
Not just gold. Gold...dust. You will never forget the name of 'em.
I was only 8 -9 and 10 in this era but it's all we spoke about in school.
How did they get Jim Neidhart to go along with this? Was he not pissed about the Montreal Screwjob. It’s one thing to continue working there like Owen did because he didn’t think he could get out of his contract, but if Anvil was upset about Survivor Series, why did he agree to this storyline? He should have said “that doesn’t work for me, brother!”
💰
He embarrassed himself. Bret was disgusted with him, he wrote about in the Calgary Sun in December 1997.
Literally been waiting for this.
I freaking love these videos. Keep up the good work. I was 14 at this time during the war, the perfect age to be a wrestling fan. I had an nWo shirt while everyone at my school would have DX shirts.
I wasn't watching Raw at this time because TSN (in Canada) just picked up Nitro the day after Survivor Series. It's cool to see what Raw was actually doing, and that they were putting out a superior product vs Nitro.
That Rock stone cold segment with Rock reaction looking at his pager and ambushed by Austin was gold 😂
At some point during this whole series I realized I began watching purely for Alex Wright.
i remember watching WcW Saturday Night mainly for Goldberg. His entrance from the opening door and running to the ring and end it in 10 seconds was amazing. Reliving the war is a monument to Alex Wright.
Another awesome upload from the greatest wrestling channel on the planet!
Looool the final fantasy reference. You'd definitely be one of my best friends if we were locals 😂.
You are killing it. I watch your old videos all the time. You're gonna make it. Great job !
Might be the best intro music to any yt show ever. Immediately gets you hype
I absolutely love that you play Disco Inferno’s entrance music the entire time you review his matches. It’s become my favourite part of these reviews.
I only wish WCW had done this for real during Disco’s matches, it would have been so much better than New Jack wrestling with Natural Born Killers playing the entire time, lol
The weekly Thursday night reminiscing 🤙🏻
Favorite channel on TH-cam by far.
A winner is you, brother 🍻
Oh Big Bratwurst! Just discovered this channel recently and you've reignited my late 90s obsession haha.
Alex Wright and Disco Inferno. 2 very underrated talents.
I know nostalgia plays a role in my opinion, but today's wrestling isn't as entertaining.
Keep up the good work. Your videos are great!
That joke about Alex Wright broke me 😂well done sir!
When Sting drop through the ring 😆
That part was funny.
I liked your reaction to it wrestling bios it's the best part about BTW love your videos keep up the excellent work bro.
The show doesnt begin until Big Bratwurst begins playing
I know it's been said over and over but I look forward to this every week. Sitting down with my dinner right now.
Man, the Brad Armstrong bit (on the same night the New Age Outlaws debuted their iconic entrance theme, no less) reminded me that ahead of us in this series, there will be... **sigh** Roadkill.
If you seen the wrestling with shadows documentary there’s a scene we’re Bret was at home watching the mini Brett segment on tv and you could see by Bret’s face he didn’t find it very amusing at all
I remember. And the look he gave to his then wife Julie and the fact that it was in complete silence. 😕
Bret still the top spot in the company after leaving
Ah yes, it's Thursday and we get another episode of Reliving the War. Thanks, Raven
Haven't even finished the video yet, but I wanted to applaud that Green Hill Zone reference.
Disco's dancing montage was so amazing. Been listening to his podcast for a few years now. It's the only wrestling podcast I listen to these days aside from a few random clips of JR here and there.
Having not watched wrestling during this time period, it's fascinating to see the beginnings of historic moments, as well as little things that I never knew happened. I had no idea until now that Jim Neidhart joined DX for one night
With how rocky my week has been with having to redo my registration for my car which is bs and other things. But I can always rely on reliving my childhood with this episode of reliving the war.
i was always amazed that Neidhart came back for a couple more shows and did that
Me too
Thank you again WB for being a Jam Up Guy! You never fail to send me into the weekend on a good note.
8:13 ".. a broken bone spread throughout his body" HAAHAAAA 😂
I love that you often put The Rock in the title even though he was a lower card guy at the time. Respect.
Sweet back of the head music 🤣 🤣 🤣 you're commentary never fails to crack me up WB
Loved the @wrestlingbios sign at AEW last night! Jim Ross is a jam up guy!
24:07 I hope this becomes a running gag everytime Shamrock goes into the zone and it's another Sonic zone
It is once again time to say that reliving the war is the best show in all of wrestling right now.
Henning hit the gum after it bounced off his head though 😂🤣
