Raw vs Nitro "Reliving The War": Episode 135 - May 25th 1998

[@sickofitall8486]

Not even a minute in and we get two Bret Hart "Shut Ups!" This series is definitely the best part of Thursdays.

[@arcticfox04]

This comment definitely has the Jam.

When I saw the DX doing their schtick at Raw XXX I couldn't help but think of the WrestlingBios clip of Brett Hart's "Shuddup" response to it

[@money345atherley2]

"Shut up"

[@justinwalker5742]

The recurring jokes and callbacks might be the most rewarding part of this whole series. Amazing.

[@benespinosa6725]

Chris Jericho's Conspiracy Victim Gimmick was awesome and absolutely hilarious and Stone Cold Steve Austin pouring beer on Vince McMahon while he was handcuffed was great this is an amazing episode of Reliving the war.

[@benespinosa6725]

[@zepherscotty]

Just realized the incredible title situation WWF had at this time. Austin was world champion. Rock was Intercontinental champion. TRI was European champion. New Age Outlaws were tag team champions. TAKA was Light-Heavyweight champion. This was truly like looking at an all star cast of champions. Kinda insane.

[@lexkanyima2195]

The all rounded champions of year

[@paradox42x]

I was in Evanville for that show - I've been waiting for you to get to this one. For those in attendance, we will remember Sting DID in fact join the wolfpac. He put the shirt on and the crowd went crazy but due to the fact WCW didn't time everything right - the show went off to early. When I watched the next Nitro - it broke the illusion a bit as they acted like it never happened.

[@WrestlingBios]

That's pretty awesome! I've often wondered what happened after a lot of Nitros went off the air, and most of the time it's always concerning Sting in some way.

[@alexhardesty1269]

I was there too!!! I remember Sting on the turnbuckle in the glorious Black & Red doing the Stinger Scream! A great night.

[@Vladraac]

I've been to Robert Stadium a few times for Pantera, White Zombie, Megadeth, and Metallica shows. Great memories there!

Yah it definitely brightens the day up. I listen to WB and Wrestling With Wregret literally all day at work. I put my phone in my pocket, ear bud in ear and just relax and laugh. Also the comments section is great, its always positive and funny. Real good community WB has.

[@irishpanic]

Another Thursday complete. I can't believe we are in year #3 of relieving the wars. This was one of my favorite nitros of all time. The stuff with the cruiser weights was excellent

[@jimbo_1312]

If not for the wcw cruiserweight division I probably wouldn't have bothered with Nitro at all tbh.

26:20 Dean was just showing how honorable he was by punishing Lenny for not returning Chris Jericho's Loverboy tape. Dean might hate Jericho, but he's an upstanding citizen and won't sit back and tolerate Lenny's thievery, even if he doesn't care for Chris Jericho. That's how much integrity he has.

I still don't get why the Giant is in the NWO again. It was one of those surprise things, like fair enough, but have they really not explained the sudden switch after the past year or fighting against them at all? Now it just feels like they can do anything and I'm expected to go along with it.

1:14 That's just a hilarious expression on Lex's face right there.

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

That was probably the same expression he had when he was informed by Vince McMahon on what the outcome of his Summer Slam 1993 main event match with Yokozuna was going to be... 😏

[@silvereloking6149]

There was ZERO logic and reason to bring back Giant to black and white nWo, zero logic to turn Scott Hall against Kevin Nash, zero logic Lex Luger joining Wolfpack and zero logic trying to do same with Sting. In last few months WCW showing that they are losing all strings in logic and creative storylines.

[@JamesR1986]

One of my favorite things about this series is how it recontextualized my memories of the era. Take Raven, I distinctly remember some skits where Raven gives Kanyon a tour of his upper class home and thinking it ruined his character. But as this series has demonstrated, that part of Raven's character was always there. Raven was always a stuck up child of privilege, he was always Johnny Polo/Scotty Flamingo, he was always a poser. That part of his character was explicitedly always there, even going back to ECW.

[@QuackMamba34]

Stone Cold having Vince arrested was hilarious.

[@Richterdgf]

The Steve MUHFUGGIN' Blackman joke never fails to get a pop from me. In fact, Brian Zane over at Wrestling with Wregret even referred to our savior as such in his recent Royal Rumble '99 review! I think it's because I brought it up in the comments of his Survivor Series '99 review.
