Reliving The War is a weekly show that covers the entire WWF vs WCW Monday Night War. Every match and promo that aired on WWF Raw and WCW Nitro around this time period gets covered in order to find out who had the best show on a week by week basis.
We are 6 days away from WWF Break Down: In Your House where Stone Cold Steve Austin defends the WWF Championship against Kane and The Undertaker in a triple threat match. Mr. McMahon books Austin in a tag match against the Brothers of Destruction and he tells Mankind, Rock and Ken Shamrock NOT to help Austin. Instead, these three men will compete in a triple threat match tonight on Raw to determine the number 1 contender for the WWF Title.
On Nitro The Warrior continues playing mind games with Hollywood Hogan. While the Hulkster is eager to fight on Nitro, Warrior would prefer to take everything away from Hogan including The Disciple. Disco Inferno takes on Cruiserweight Champion Billy Kidman, and Scott Hall's issues continue to get worse in the nWo Hollywood vs nWo Wolfpac main event.

Road Dogg holding cue cards for Billy will never stop being funny.

[@Eric-wu7bp]

And Bret was like, “WTF, I wanted to say Shut up to the horses head, not the Horses ass!” 😂

[@brian_b_music]

Came for the war, stayed for the Bret Hart “Shut up”!😂😂😂

[@rmcdudmk212]

Same 👍

[@DeaDGoD_XIV]

Clearly this guy has the jam

[@CreationsVibration]

Shut up

[@thenofilterchannel8247]

Shut up!

[@michaelkeller5927]

Denied!

[@cliffjosephs]

It's me! I'm the Jam-Up Guy! This series is the best part of my week man. You've made a lot of fans here.

[@EmptyZach]

Having more than one member in the One Warrior Nation is like having a band called The Lone Rangers. “There’s three of you. You’re not exactly lone, are you?”

[@Dr-Alexander-The-Great]

You can’t pluralize Lone Rangers

[@jbanks979]

I don’t know if Ed Leslie counts as more than one

[@BOG0690]

Lol airheads!!!!

[@S13rraSam]

It's one "warrior" nation. Not one person nation. I think it really shows what the Ultimate Warrior thinks of Ed Leslie.

[@frankshackles5567]

Best reference to the movie airheads ever lol

[@borobinson7005]

I like how Raven broke character to make sure his dance partner was ok that shows that he's a really good person

[@michaelaburns734]

Scott is a great man.

[@christopherfoley8322]

@@michaelaburns734 I briefly met him and Stevie Richards at two separate times. Stevie i met two different times, once in a Strawbridges across the street from my house, he was shopping, had just signed with WCW, the other time was at the local game store, Stevie was a gamer, there was also a rumor that Stevie sent child porn images to ex girlfriends, but was never proven and i highly doubted it.

[@christopherfoley8322]

Scott i met at the same game store, but i'm not sure how heavily he played since he was traveling often, but he might have taken his game system with him

[@Godzilla1982]

​@@christopherfoley8322I HIGHLY doubt that. I know Stevie and he's a GREAT dude.

[@PaulieD1984]

​@@Godzilla1982 no hes not he's on the register for being an s.o

[@carlcouture1023]

I think Raven deserves to go off the charts of the Meng manliness meter for stopping the show to make sure Villano IV was getting help.

[@peterashworth8376]

“He has the charisma of vanilla ice cream without the vanilla.” That’s one of the best burns I’ve ever heard.

[@sherrix6881]

You haven’t heard much then

[@Insomniaaron]

No Saturday Wright Fever from Alex Wright is the ultimate heel move.

[@themagnificentmasterx4452]

Nothing like a weekly dose of that Warrior Kush

[@IowaContact]

That whole bit had me dying

[@themexicankitchen]

The amount of terms you had for the "Warrior Smoke Cloud"w as amazing As well as everyone's other favourite The running gags Looking forward to next week's episode

[@paulcastle4748]

Only 2nd to how many times this dude had names for Tennessee Lee

[@zlinedavid]

I legit laughed out loud at "Hash Bandicoot". Well done lad, well done.

[@PedroBenolielBonito]

There are a bunch of good puns on this episode.

[@kennethgreggs5903]

I did as well at "Donkey Bong Country"

[@KingKong-kj6hg]

I propose a mandatory 2 Cold Scorpio entrance theme every week whether he appears or not. It's the purest 5 seconds of the 90's.

[@UCUSmusic]

Thats a cold idea... maybe ... 2 cold!

[@ZiaTheGeek]

I’ve been waiting for this episode! I remember being at the WWF show, and it was one of the best days of my childhood.

[@binks2413]

June 29, 1998 for me. Such cool thing to rewatch

[@christopherfoley8322]

You bringing up this was the best days of your childhood makes me feel old lol, i was 18 at the time this event happened.

[@haroldchute8247]

I was there as well Zia! I was 11! Bruh…best night of my pubescent life.

[@ZiaTheGeek]

@@haroldchute8247 I was 11 as well! I was seventh row, with the titans Ron to my right. I have pics from that night.

[@1CloudChain]

BEING THERE LIVE MUST HAVE CREATED AN ENRGY WE CAN STILL ALL FEEEL

[@louisvelez40]

Shoutout to Raven to check on that wrestler to make sure he is ok. Bro i love the inclusion of Bret everytime it involves the Outlaws 😂

[@Insomniaaron]

It's Thursday night and you know what that means! Reliving the War is back once more.

[@borobinson7005]

It's my favorite part of Thursday 😸

[@daasbuffy]

We need a Pepe memorial episode. He was so integral to the early episodes of Reliving The War.

[@jackenyoff7820]

The Warrior Weed segments have been the highlights of these shows for me recently. Every time that stoner music starts playing in the background, I instantly laugh. Top tier content as always

[@americanmeowth3336]

Reliving the War! Excellent work as always. Raven's attention to Villano was tremendous. Like you point out, it was throwing character and such right out the window just to check on your fellow. Also, the 4 Horsemen being the ones to finally end the nWo would have been a much better way to wrap up a 3-year tale; traditional 'rassling winning out against the flashy sports entertainment would have been cool to see.

[@bigpoppajersh]

Warriors magic mountain of smoke from Shawn's fanny pack makes me think Shawn upgraded to a backpack

[@Dr_1212]

RIP WCW Gone but never forgotten

[@spartikuzTV]

The saddest thing about this show is that it ends at the greatest wrestlemania ever at X7

[@jackcarraway4707]

It will end at the final Nitro.

[@spartikuzTV]

@Jack Carraway I'm sure he'll treat us with an end of era ppv as ppvs are not counted a reliving the war episode numbers.

[@heeleyez1260]

Takers whole demeanor during this time was awesome

[@jxw457]

Of everything I remember of WCW, Raven kneeling while checking out dude hurt is the thing I remember most.

[@TravJam317]

This is where "You can't powerbomb Kidman" started.

[@axelfoley2061]

What an amazing time to be a wrestling fan. Every Monday night was a big deal to gather with friends and watch

[@donnelltaylor701]

Definitely.. missing Monday night was like missing the cool kid's B Day Party and you got invited 😅😂. Great Times man

[@joe0512]

The Bret Hart clip was perfection.

[@ricstormwolf]

Much respect to Raven for stopping everything to check on Villiano 4 👍

[@ryananthony3104]

Disco cuts weight without sweating. Truly a legend.

[@ajaxben4603]

My life is very difficult right now with some serious health issues so this is the nourishment my soul needs. Thank you brother

[@Suchega_Uber]

I just had the weirdest thought. You showed that clip of Dustin wearing that hand your life over to him shirt, and it made me think of The Ministry. Imagine if Dustin had kept that gimmick up and he just kept getting more and more fanatic until it is revealed that Him is actually referring to Undertaker and this had been going on in the background for years. I think it could have worked.

[@NicTubeVids]

Cool idea.

[@UCUSmusic]

Good stuff

[@robycas4575]

I know that many people say this in the comments but I'm gonna say it too: This series is one of the very few things that keeps me going in these days. I'm suffering from severe depression and it's getting really tough to not think about ending it all. I'm not going to explain every detail, that would take forever but I'm glad that you are making this awesome series! I'm not trying to give you pressure I'm just appreciating your work! 😂

[@SlaytanicSuperstarr]

Hope you feel better soon sir.

[@tylongkicks8821]

Stay strong man it will get better

[@martynodonnell]

Thoughts are with you brother. I too battle with mental health issues.

[@kylereece1979]

Reaching out like this here mate, and letting it out is a win for you. You are online here with people that love this programme and channel justas much, and some can even get back to ya and relate to you via their own stuggles within. Take care good sir, tell friends how you are, keep the chinlock on the depression. You can do it, and are doing it. 👍👍

[@Nomed38]

Since you obviously like professional wrestling there is a lot of matches online if you look up specific matched by the competitors, the day a show happened, and/or aired. There is a lot of books available for free to download legally online and some others most likely from your local library for download. I found that watching documentaries, most being ones called istaphobic by the powers that be, worked wonders for me in getting dealing with depression and motivating me to bigger and better things. It's very easy these days to be demoralized, which is all by design btw, so it's up to each of us to help one another out whenever we can.

[@irighterotica]

Hitman tells Dogg to shut up and says he'll be there for Billy, lol. Love it.

[@Insomniaaron]

3:24 Nick Dinsmore? The technician who was granted the role of Eugene? My goodness.

[@zero_ghzgaming6382]

Changing up the intro to reflect what is happening, that's dedication and fan service. You capture the anticipation and excitement that we all felt every Monday night during that era, this is why never miss an episode of this series. Keep up the good work.

[@owenharris2233]

This is by far the best series on KZbin. Thank you wrestling bios for helping me remember the glory days of wrestling in such an entertaining way

[@legslarrysmith_]

Raven was one of my favourite wrestler's, it was a tie up between Raven and Scott Hall (Rest in peace brother). As a kid watching the war I wouldn't have noticed, nor understood what was going on here, I'd still just be hyped up to see one of my favourites wrestle. So going back and seeing this now as a adult really makes me smile know that someone I looked up to as a fictional character would without a doubt throw kayfabe out the window to ensure the safety of a fellow performer. This was a nice little moment, thanks :)

[@zlinedavid]

29:56 Makes you remember just how good Owen was. It's a basic move, but that power slam he did was so crisp, so smooth and he made it look impactful.

[@Rob_Thorsman]

Dude botched a pile-driver and nearly crippled a guy.

[@angelmunoz34]

​@@Rob_Thorsman found ya 👉

[@-BuddyGuy]

Val sold it pretty nicely too

[@deandredukes95]

Nwo angle is the perfect example of more than you bargained for.

[@PeterHowe228]

Here's a weird fact, Billy Gunn vs Jeff Jarrett could soon happen 25 years later in AEW.

[@tylongkicks8821]

That's crazy how both guys are still in great shape years later

[@Insomniaaron]

And most likely will at some point.

[@jackcarraway4707]

Has anyone noticed the Booty Barber Zodiac Warrior Disciple has not wrestled a single match or even uttered a single word during this phase in his career? What exactly is WCW paying Ed Leslie for?

[@ericw48]

I love the new intro. Syncing the video to the beat goes a long way with me.

[@AguilaDeOnix85]

This series gets better every week with the running jokes. What's funny about the Warrior smoke lines is that they shouldn't be topped but probably will be haha. This channel's great!

[@Mike-kd2vs]

Finally WrestlingBios has come back! Best Wrestling show out there❤

[@michaelaburns734]

Raven is a man who I gave a ton of respect that night.

[@Insomniaaron]

2:16 Hash Bandicoot. That will also make you go 'Woah!' 😆

[@bobbyunavailable]

The pop for the outlaws intro is wild. What an era.

[@mikem10481]

Who else rewinded for Stephanie McMahon 😂🐶

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

That 2 Cold Scorpio theme is a bop!

[@theoldhermit2601]

Your vids have been there a lot of times when I needed a distraction, so thank you for that, from the bottom of my heart. ❤

[@izzydangerous6990]

Reliving the war dream match would be Al Snow and Head vs Chavo and Pepe

[@Hyde_Hill]

I actually like for once that you kept the outlaws promo. As I always liked when they did it.

[@jrp107]

I agree. I absolutely love the "shut up" gag, but it's cool to hear the promo too.

[@Sean-os3fo]

Best part of the week. It’s honestly like watching the MMW all over again

[@crazeyheart]

Finally. The best part of my week

[@whisperienced]

One of these days this channel is going to have to do a reliving the war wrestling tier list.

[@toptenguy1]

My 2 all time favorite Wrestling women were Jacqueline and Terri Runnels. So needless to say, I am looking forward to a certain faction coming up soon! LOL

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

You can't powerbomb Kidman, Disco! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Bsmith806]

Thursday night entertainment right on time

[@ifgwelf]

Let's gooooo, love this series. Didn't see myself getting back into wrasslin this year but I'm here for it

[@AzraelDarkness64Gaming]

Raven was the reason why I am Wrestling along with the ECW guy and Hayabusa From FMW is another reason aswell

[@jbanks979]

They really should have just let DDP break the streak. You could easily book it in such a way to leave Goldberg protected. Make it a complete upset, but still reward a man who built a fan base largely through hard work. Love Brett Hart’s deep “if you see something say something” concern with his nemesis passing the buck on his saying

[@smitchy657]

The charisma of Vanilla Ice-cream, without the Vanilla and thats being generous 🤣😂

[@colmr84]

Taking a break on our Florida Honeymoon to give this a watch. Not stopping my weekly RTW viewing 😂

[@Judasofeastanglia]

Imagine being Disco Inferno - you've got this chance to become the Cruiserweight Champion, and just as it's in reach, you remember that your entire persona is built around disco dancing and you just can't resist that urge.

[@SlaytanicSuperstarr]

The Brett hart...."if you need me" 😂😂 fugin dieing

[@michaeljackson6613]

There's like a million comments and this has been posted under 30 minutes I'm reliving the comments LoL 😂

[@Polybius83]

Watching these every week really reminds me of how deeply involved Ken Shamrock was in things back then. It's absurd how WWE tries to act like he wasn't even there now.

[@frickaaron]

Love these so much. I will say that I’m curious/worried about what you will do when the war is over. We do appreciate this so much!

[@martynodonnell]

The war is passing so quickly too. Got under 3 years to go.

[@TheBlackScatPack]

When the Reliving the War series is over can we get a video on the running jokes? Better yet let us vote for the best running jokes of RtW

[@Hilversumborn]

My favorite so far were the names for Tennessee Lee

[@TheBlackScatPack]

@@Hilversumborn my favorites have been the ones about Glacier 😂😂

[@FerraristDX]

Steve Mufuggin Blackman is it for me.

[@bletty]

Wheres the love for the Chinlocks?

[@WrestlingBios]

Yeah. I plan on doing a kind of epilogue video after the final episode that'll cover a lot of stuff, running gags will get included for sure.

[@DavidBarton777]

I went to this one It's crazy seeing this over 20 years later But it's still great to relive the war Thank you for this series

[@TheCrimsonCretin]

I love the Brett Hart DX rivalry cracks me up every time

[@J0nny_Ch1mp0]

The heat between flair & bitchoff is fascinating. Especially after learning about the chaos of what was really going on behind the scenes... i remember wondering why flair just randomly disappeared for so long.

[@ChampagneS4366]

Raven was the hero this week. Unironically Thanks Raven!

[@Cycopace]

Saturn was so underrated IMO, the Death Valley driver is a cool finisher

[@Godzilla1982]

Thumbs up for Good Guy Raven!

[@KenneysCook]

Kidman's shooting star press was the coolest finisher to me as a kid

[@horncrownedproductions9675]

Just FYI: Villano IV wasn't out for two years. He wrestled the rest of the year and then took six months off at the beginning of 1999 to heal. But he wrestled four days after this at a house show.

[@CJeyBlaughwithme]

Just wanna say THANK YOU for doing this series, along with all the other great videos you put together weekly. It really helps me deal with life, kick back and have a nice reminder of my childhood. This is my daughter's favorite show now. When that "you wanna war" hits, she starts smiling and dancing. Oh, and "EVERYBODY HERE COMES 2 COLD SCORPIO!!"🤘

[@LongLiveRockAnRoll]

😂😂 At last we get a full New Age Outlaws intro promo on Reliving The War. I didn't think it would be like that...

[@mr_radder959]

Reliving the war before work is my favorite thing

[@posterboylegacy6214]

Next Review!?? YOU know what's up! Reliving The War Reviews the first ever WWE event I went to live at 11 years old! WWE Breakdown in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada! :D I was up in the nose bleed seats (Three rows down from the top). If you look closely you can see me.. kinda... Even if I was on the hard cam LOL XD Keep up the awesome work bro! THE highlight of my Thursdays, 100 %

[@memyself3510]

“Hash bandicoot” and “donkey bong country” are legit the greatest things I’ve ever heard. I’m using those from now on😂

[@r.j.stanford7435]

The weed puns in this video are so funny! Sounds like Wrestling Bios had fun writing this one.

[@zlinedavid]

Ryan was sampling a little bit of Iron Sheik's "green medicine" when writing this one. 🤣

[@BlueMageWithSoulEdge]

According to Eric from "83 Weeks", the plan was to always bring back Flair at some point; they just needed him to be cleared from injury. Eric brought him back to put him on T.V. because he didn't want people to forget him or the Horsemen.

[@timmins316]

Raven really cares about people.

[@stephenmcilwraith9639]

respect to raven

[@aaronglover5448]

“Taking the big valbowski”😂😂 i miss this era

[@BigK0003]

i may be in the minority.. but i absolutely loved the Road Dogg's (Conan's too for that matter) intro every week. It was amplified tenfold in person. I never forgot a single word of it. The shut up joke is great. But it was nice to (almost) hear the whole thing this time.. Even if it was from the wrong person this week lol

[@BlueMarkEntertainment]

I came for the memories and great work. I came again for Jackie

[@SLURM187]

One does not simply skip the RTW intro

[@Boo-yaa86]

The first segment a whole week warrior chilled with disciple

[@ExploreandExperience1]

Thank you for doing this series. It's fantastic 👏🏾

[@mrmoose6619]

Welcome to Thursday Afternoon Jericho (aka Reliving the War)! Thanks again for the best show out there.

[@brianlarsen9952]

Jerichoholics approved

[@AMFL3116]

It's Thursday night! Time for Reliving The War! BANG!!!!🎉

[@Not_Brandino]

Just like anime OPs, I never skip the banger OP for RtW

[@ThereandBackFilms]

Kick or be kicking. Kicking myself for not watching this until today (Saturday.) Your ability to stay on top of the grind and pump these videos out is commendable. Well done, brother. Well done.

[@tlplante1]

Did anyone catch the shout out to Alex Wright last night on AEW Dynamite?

[@press.80]

Yo that powerdriver to Kidman was insane!!!!!

[@chyler1397]

1:41 Awesome seeing Scott Hall wearing a WBCN 104.1 shirt! RIP Scott Hall and RIP WBCN

[@path-to5nj]

I never miss a episode!! Thanks for the walk down memory lane

[@solthereject4501]

i always forget it’s thursday until i hear our boy scott hall askin me if i want a war
