[@inaaronshead7331]

off topic, but have you watched A&E's 'WWEs Most Wanted Treasures' ? I know you have a lot going on, but just wanted your opinion of it. Because I really like most episodes so far.. With Foley and Andre the Giant episodes being my top fav's

[@CeeMigoLoCo]

Man if Alex Wright was in the WWF instead of WCW, there wouldn't of been a Monday Night War🕺... Just sayin 🤷 😂🤣😂

[@CeeMigoLoCo]

Btw Wrestling Bios, there was two different caskets by the ring. I had to watch it over a couple of times cause I was confused by that ending at first too lol

[@thethairishsun]

please bring back Blackmans theme!

[@AMFL3116]

That doesn't work for me, brother!

[@tz4637]

the DDP BANG! guy is an all time RTW legend. Always makes me laugh.

[@DebitAdams]

I was a huge DDP fan as kid and wore that blue ddp shirt every weekend 😆

[@unj]

wish I got excited about anything as much as Bang guy gets excited about DDP. 🥲

[@michiganpride389]

The retro game "Shut Up" has been the highlight of my Thursday all month long.. thank you for that

[@irighterotica]

Yeah, it's amazing. Love it.

[@MRedwood82]

Hell yeah. 😂😂

[@leeclegg2943]

Me too I can't wait to see what comes up next

[@innocentorphan1213]

Bart still gave us the good feels of seeing Bradshaw get humbled.

[@chardeemacdennis3852]

That Foley entrance on the stretcher was amazing 😂

[@ryankeefe2102]

Didn't they use that for his A&E biography

[@AJsBusVideos]

I laughed

The Warrior glamor shot in the thumbnail was the show before the show. 😂

I remember that photo on the front cover of wcw/nwo magazine

I can imagine Oprah Winfrey watching Nitro back in '98, seeing Warrior's jacket, and thinking "I can work with that."

LMFAO!!

Ah. I was actually referring to the "OWN" lettering. That's what her network is called.

The creativity that goes into the "Shaddup" bit always kills me.

When that music hits it's like I'm 17 again about to watch another great episode of Monday night Raw

[@miterbenisdurty3862]

I haven't watched wrestling in nearly a decade but i watch wrestling bios every week

[@Nero__Morte]

Dear Wrestling Bios. I stumbled across your page randomly about three or four months ago. I watched a few videos and liked your content. Then one day I found the Reliving the War series and I was hooked instantly. I started the series with episode one and binged every single episode since. This series is simply amazing and I highly appreciate the work you've put into this series. Reliving the War is more like reliving my childhood and I thank you for that. While I'm sad I've finally caught up on the series and almost have no more episodes to binge, I'm also extremely happy knowing that we aren't done with the war! I look forward to catching up on the last few videos and looking forward to watching the rest of the war right here on one of the best KZbin channels out there! Keep up the good work! We all appreciate it!

[@MegaBroski12]

Good grief you binged 2.5 years in 4 months? That's respect! I think I first started shortly around Wrestlemania 12.

[@Flashfm3000]

It’s like WCW just took the night off whenever Raw was a PPV go-home show.

[@dunnr5]

RTW is the best show on KZbin! Thank you Ryan, you absolute legend always guaranteed a laugh watching your shows.

[@Guardian978]

Wait. This guy's name is Ryan? That's my name too. I like him even more now

[@FourThreeEight]

Better than MSNBC?

[@toptenguy1]

31:48 : The Bronco Buster to Gangrel looked like the "Stake through the vampire's heart" lol

[@burritoboy2751]

I love the reference to Cyborg Justice. I couldn't get enough of that game back in the day.

It's Thursday night and you know what that means! Reliving The War is here again!

[@HARAMBEAKAGEORGEFLOYD]

It’s hilarious because he got EMBARRASSED 😂😂😂

It's Thursday night sitting down and watching Wrestling Bios with snacks and drink it can't get any better 🎉

[@CaptnMasm]

This is the way

[@silxix2599]

Reliving Wrestling most exciting Era ‼️ But in a way nobody ever really experience. Watching both sides at once with superb Analysis ‼️

[@JHebertSide95]

They could have easily work the Bart Gunn defeating Steve Williams into a Teacher vs. Student angel... From rewatching Bart Gunn in this tournament, he was actually super over... So why not capitalize on that momentum with the two as a duo?

[@WillsonT011]

Because JR got butthurt that his guy, Steve Williams, loss to Bart

[@jjreider8668]

I think they tested an angle like that when Bart Gunn yelled at JR. I just don’t think Bart had a future in the company either way. There’s no way Bart yelling at JR was a shoot, I think it just didn’t really have a future.

[@JHebertSide95]

@@WillsonT011 I still think they could have made something out of both of them as a Tag Team at least...

[@dirk8449]

I remember this episode very vividly. IMO one of the best written and exciting episodes of Raw ever. Perfect lead up to summerslam. And truly a night you knew wwf was going to win the war.

[@dukes1993724]

Yup. WCW only has a few more rating wins left from this point on.

[@carloshill]

Always look forward to reliving the war as it's the thing that makes a slow stressful work day alittle bit better

[@corkscrewfoley]

A Dean-O Machine-O shirt would be cool.

[@Mrryn]

Even though that's a ways off, styling the O's into a 007 James Bond motif to shout out his Double Ho 7 gimmick from WWF would be pretty sweet, I think

[@eabcool]

HBK to the rescue ! that was a seriously memorable segment, hate seeing Owen as Rock's lackey

[@chuckersthenut2097]

This was the craziest episode of Raw I can remember.

[@pdill900]

“That’s right. He rescued a woman from being assaulted then he dances on a table.” HBK the GOAT☠️

[@StealthMarmot_]

Chaotic Good?

[@toptenguy1]

I have major memories of Bryan & Vinny DESTROYING this episode, due to the insane shots to the head all throughout the show (both worked and shoot).

[@heartgenerator4967]

Please tell me I'm not the only one that played back the Bradshaw knockout more than once. Satisfying, after what we've heard about him

[@dukes1993724]

I think this is the first episode where we see Rock dressed in his fancy buttoned-up shirt w/ his shades on. Shades of what is to come soon!

[@SteelyBud]

RIP Jerry Springer. The Attitude Era's most influential figure.

[@tylongkicks8821]

Yep

[@zacharythomason7359]

He will be surely missed, I grew up watching Jerry Springer btw.

J.R. saying WWF don't condone what The Rock did to Chyna cracked me up. Your guys wrote this to happen! Hahaha.

The Bret/Road Dogg donkey kong was hilarious. The extra effort you put into these bits is why I love your channel so much.

[@nickbanks7954]

The Summerslam ppv review is right around the corner. Man how time flies by.

[@CrunchetySmack]

Man... RAW through this whole period is when I rediscovered wrestling after about 8 years and it still feels like yesterday while watching through the RLW Series. AMAZING Work Sir and we can't praise you enough.

[@baparsanko]

"Severn vs Shamrock could have been a featured match, but there's no clear winner tonight." Just like their match at UFC 9.

[@k.d.kelley2830]

Best content on KZbin, hands down!

[@WickedFireBird69]

I am so excited to see the pre-show for Summer Slam! I almost didn't buy the PPV back in the day but the hype behind that pre-show was too legit!

[@gavinhinchcliffe8457]

When I hear that Raw Is War riff at the beginning of these RTW videos it takes me back in time to being a young adult when wrestling was the best thing on the planet.

[@JustGoofinRound]

Great video as always. Loved the Bret Hart telling RD to shut up segment. That’s getting funnier and funnier.

[@jojobeware4873]

it was a great moment to see Goldberg and Warrior in the same building!

[@mikeharless4596]

So many of the segments on Raw literally made me laugh loudly 😂 great freakin episode, man! Also, the saga of the Mufugg is one of the funniest wrestling bits I've seen in forever! For the gagilianth time, BEST SERIES ON KZbin!

[@HarmonySword]

As always, a great way to end the 4 day work week. Thanks again fam.

[@charlesr951]

Summer slam 98 is the PPV I've been most excited for that I didn't get to see. Those ACDC trailers were incredible at the time and I couldn't wait to find out what was gonna happen.

I realized the likes of Nash was getting boat loads of money for just showing up on Monday nights lol. The dude barely wrestled

[@That_Guy-]

it's a sweet deal, we would all take it if it was offered us

[@jonmacintyre9905]

That time frame of DDP’s career was fire. He was my favorite WCW guy at that time. Hard to say that because I was always a huge Bret Hart fan, but DDP just had the crowd in the palm of his hand.

[@dukes1993724]

This episode highlighted Stone Cold’s strengths well and exposed Bill Goldberg’s weaknesses ala his lack of true mic skills. Part of the reason Austin would make WWF a lot of $ for years to come while the Goldberg fade began to wear off after ‘98.

[@ollieduracell]

Thursday means the war is being relived once again

[@vernonharley]

Bro ! You are without a doubt going down in history for creating this series.

[@WarriorSmurf]

The "front suplex" move that Dan Severn did is called a gourdbuster.

[@pjdolont9012]

Warrior is totaly rocking that Zoolander model face in the thumbnail.

[@TheMypanther1234]

To keep such an audacious effort going despite everything that’s happening in the world is a remarkable effort. I wish I am as consistent as you !

At this point you need to do a video compiling all of the meme's you've created on this channel. The Davey Boy Chinlock, Feel the Bang, Jam up Guy, Saturday Wright fever etc. and put them in their own brawl for all to find out which is the one meme to rule them all.

With all due respect to the man, especially considering what he's going through now, it's crazy how much time WCW invested in Mongo. Week after week, win after win.... the dude should have been in line for a title shot against Goldberg with the run he was on. Bischoff must have been paying him a tonne of Uncle Ted's money.
