Raw vs Nitro "Reliving The War": Episode 15 - Dec 18th 1995

[@christianholbrook2686]

And so we've reached the first true milestone in the Monday Night Wars aside from the debut of Nitro. Gotta admit the Alundra Blaze belt segment was a spot of genius.

This series gives the feeling that I’m actually reliving the war, nothing like the Monday night Wars has ever happened since

[@phibaoptix]

The current wednesday night war is interesting

[@VERDICTInsanity]

Phiba Optix yeah, between nxt and AEW? I really hope AEW makes it to the big time so we can have some competition for the wwe. My friend seems to think AEW don’t want to become as big as the wwe, my answer was “why are they in the business then?” Surely if u don’t wanna be the biggest there’s no point in trying. Wwe NEEDS competition, that’s why it’s gone stale

@@VERDICTInsanity more chance of drowning in the deep end of the pool

[@phibaoptix]

UnPlugged Gaming AEW already has a better product. It will never be as big as WWE though sadly.

[@VERDICTInsanity]

Phiba Optix how can it better when the WWE has twice the viewership tho? I agree that the wrestling has way more of a spotlight in AEW whereas WWE is more about acting, TNA had better wrestling for a time tho man and they do twitch now. Until WWE is scared of AEW they’ll stay stale I think

The flair vs Eddie match is pretty much Al snow's setup for how to get a wrestler over without destroying your own finisher. Thus getting both wrestlers over. Good fundamental match.

Yeah like he said last week, Eddie is truly the mvp of all this. Just a workhorse!

I'm curious how much longer until the storyline starts becoming more closer to the stories of the war I remember from choldhood.

I grew up watching wrestling in the 90's and I was Team WCW all the way til the end, even though the last year i was a wcw fan i was supporting them out of pride to not let people say "I TOLD YOU SO" lol so when they got bought i was able to stand up and say i was Team WCW through thick and thin! now i just look foolish not loyal :) thanks for another great episode!

Madusa really changed everything i mean she was furious because she was fired as a champion but thabks to that spot Bret was screwed Vince didnt wanted to see that segment again with bret

[@JM1993951]

Bret wouldn’t have done it, he was voluntarily leaving to make more money. Bischoff, however...

[@herpderp7264]

The thing is Vince was the one who started the whole thing by having Flair show up in 1992 with the NWA/WCW title. But yeah Bischoff would have begged Bret to bring the WWF title to WCW, I don’t think Bret would have done it tho.

[@younghotboy109]

Herp Derp but when vince did it he didnt disrespect the belt medusa did bret wouldnt have done bischoff couldnt do it it would lead to a massive lawsuit he already stated this

[@attiepollard7847]

Guys hold on. The jury is still out on that part about did Vince believe that bret was going to take the belt with him to WCW and I still have a hard time believing that the screwjob was not a work.
