Real talk Judy was a true G..

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

Haa! 4:40 Hearing it in reverse made me laugh and almost choke on a cookie i was eating. 😄👍

[@kamenanew9867]

This mufugg said the wolfpack is back causing mass destruction and I nearly marked out lmao. Friggin genius.

[@devious187]

It's truly amazing just how spoiled we wrestling fans were at the height of the war... This was such a memorable week for both shows

[@spangly_J]

I had no idea Mr Socko and the LWO are from the same night

[@ois9]

Did you forget the loss? The money?

[@TheDustinbowman003]

We're more spoiled now having this series. I didn't have a DVR back then and your sure to miss something flipping back and forth on Mondays. With this we get it all and a lot better humor than the king was saying back then

[@bobby.m136]

My brother is 6 yrs older than me, was always like WCW sucks, and they did in his era.... By the attitude era though the war coulda went either way

[@unstablejumo8098]

That "Judy Bagwell future WCW World Champion" line is far too close to something that could have happened in the dying days of WCW. I legitimately laughed then thought "wait did they do that?"

[@rachelwilliams6929]

She could have convincingly beat Russo for sure

[@sickofitall8486]

Scott Steiner telling Judy Bagwell that she’s not his mother and to stay in her lane lest she catch a beating is exactly the kind of promo material that defined this era of wrestling.

[@exeortegarubio]

Reminds when Brian Pillman threatened to piss on the ring during his ECW debut.

[@Vantoris]

You help so many people with this series, thank you

[@chrismeyer5156]

Wrestling Bios has the jam

[@licentiousdreams]

I find it to be more of a jelly with a hint of leg drop at the end.

[@JamesLawson-v4h]

Pro Wrestling seemed so much more personal back when I was younger and it was because of the Monday Night War! Thank you Wrestling Bios!

[@Ty-douken]

Well this is it, I've finally caught up with Reliving the War after starting a few months ago when I was told about the series by a friend. Every video liked, watched & can't stop telling others about the channel. Also just place an order for some t-shirts in celebration of finally catching up. Easily the best channel on KZbin right now & a huge inspiration to make anything I work on great. Thanks for Reliving the War, here's hoping once we get to the end that it's only a new beginning.

[@HunterPhenomMakoy]

Oh hell just watching Judy Bagwell speak without audio it’s obvious she can cut a better promo then a lot of the boys. 😂

[@binks2413]

Monday nights were so much fun at this time. Love these recap videos, takes me right back to being 14yrs old. 👍

[@motherwar_87]

29:05 Al Snow's springboard side kick is an absolute work of art!! Too freaking good!!

[@royrobinson6038]

Hogan v Warrior at Halloween Havoc is gonna be EXPLOSIVE!

[@Mr.Suavehouse]

My favorite match of all time literally my favorite match of all time that fireball was epic leopard

[@aegaeon117]

Judy Bagwell is legend. Comedy was great this week.

[@Kain2k7]

Great work, as always! You had me rolling when you called the guy handing a note to Chyna "that no good son of a bitch" for no reason. It was so random haha. Also, A+ stuff to the Shenmue "shut up" segment.

[@3820MD]

So the Attitude Era women's title is actually a copy and paste version of the smoking skull belt? Very fascinating 💯

[@brianstiles1701]

Iconic Raw that went against a Nitro that was iconic for not good reasons

[@greenkoopa]

It ain't Thursday if it ain't Reliving the War 🐢

[@KxNG_RxME]

This aired around my birthday 10/8 that year. Vince had an eventful October

[@augustuswayne9676]

Ah the high light of my week , reliving the wars !

[@heisensaul5538]

I honestly forgot about Hogan trying to get the nickname of Wood over for himself. I have to say that was one of the most off the rails Hollywood Hogan promos I've ever seen lol

[@RobClooney]

The Bulldog Grip 🤣🤣🤣

[@eastsidereviews727]

I'm gonna be sad when certain characters leave Reliving the War...Vader will not be one of them. Him, along with the Road Warriors, are just sad to see being used in this manner.

[@rstebbing1709]

Getting down on his knees and begging for wood? I'm sure there's a place on the internet for that video...

[@wesleymcneese8554]

I've been waiting for this episode just for that ONE segment. "I'll take it from here nurse!". 😂😂

[@MyPisceanNature]

I'm pretty sure my mother had no clue who DDP was, even then, when I was watching every single wrestling show on air every week, but if she wants to bang DDP that's her business.

[@motherwar_87]

14:32 Warrior is just like Dave Batista.. HAAAA! Hahahahah 😂😂😂

[@zlinedavid]

I totally forgot about Judy Bagwell cutting that promo until now. If Buff wasn’t such a pilled up twatwaffle back then, it would have been hilarious to see Judy in WWF in a kind of Vickie Guerrero role.

[@danielainger]

34:18 that haircut is shocking 😂😂

[@jnmrgr]

28:39 Shellac gig poster on the bar wall! Wonder if they actually played at that bar 😂

[@Creampie_lake_zaddy]

Smoking steaks, drinking angry orchard, and reliving the war.

[@JDDK28]

That’s it. Raw wins this week. 😂😂😂 The hospital scene is one of the highlights of the entire Monday night war.

[@ShaunInce123]

The debut of Mr Socko

[@TiVo67]

I never understood the Warrior in the mirror thing. I get they wanted him to mess with Woodman and make him look crazy but if Hogan, the audience & commentators see Warrior and the only person who doesn’t is Eric, then Bischoff is the one who looks crazy.

[@scottaznavourian3720]

31:06 infamous....only one who cant see him is the guy who most likely wrote this script 😂

[@WhoCaresAnymoreTho]

Meros shootin star is the best in wrestling!!

[@woobgamer5210]

I can't wait for the day Relieving the War starts totally reeking of awesomeness

[@charlesorlando794]

As soon as I saw McMahon in the hospital, I knew it was going there. The bedpan and the debut of socko vs. the mystic warrior nonsense and the debut of the LWO. It wasn’t even close. Raw isn’t winning because of the in-ring stuff it’s winning because it’s much more entertaining and nights like this one show 1) why WWE won and 2) despite a relatively short time on top, why Austin is on that Mount Rushmore of wrestling according to everyone.

[@blackcountrysmoggie]

I like this channel. This channel good.

RIP Sheiky Baby.

[@tomascarrasco9892]

Loved the shenmue part LOL

[@tripleh327]

People speaks about the chairshots heard around the world But that metal bedpan bonk is one of the highest entertaining moment In wrestling history Truly magnificent

[@williamsmith666]

It was beautiful.

[@DudeMcGuybro]

Nothing like the BONK of a bed pan over Vince's head when Steve Austin finally gets him. The Mankind segment is an all time great moment. edit: The Feel the BAAAAAANG gets funnier every week. Never stop.

[@ajk]

So does the "Shut Up" bit.....loved this week's especially, that was awesome lol.

[@ThatOneVideoGamer]

I never tire of hearing about the chinlock from our Davey.

[@thebossthusiast1960]

Jirard the Completionist is also a fan of Davey Boy Chinlocks? Hell yeah!

[@sidneygraham]

Hell yeah!

[@mikeharless4596]

That series of Vinny Mack hospital scenes are absolutely iconic! Those live in my head, rent free, until I'm done on this earth 😂

[@PhenomsServant4]

Say what you will about Vince but he amazing at being the straight man.

[@paulghignon4092]

@@PhenomsServant4 yeah dude is able to stay in character no matter what. Dude tore his quad and straight faced showed no sign of being in pain, then walked his ass to a limo while refusing help. Contrast that with his son (who vince has regarded as a disappointment on the pat mcafee podcast) who cried and curled up into a ball in the middle of the ring. Dude could keep a straight face through anything.

That hospital sequence has to be one of the highlights of the McMahon-Austin rivalry.

[@SakAttack87]

One of the highlights of the entire Attitude Era in my opinion.

[@girldaddividendinvestor]

"I'll take it from here nurse."

[@Pensfan5919]

"Austin-McMahon', I'd say maybe pro wrestling in the color TV age. Truly hilarious and awesome at the same time.

[@irighterotica]

I remembered it so well. Once Mankind came in with the clown, I immediately knew what was coming.

[@loboneiner1034]

Judy Bagwell got a bigger pop than Glacier without the year worth of promos before her debut.

[@zlinedavid]

Damn, that’s the one match VinnieRu should have booked in WCW2000: Glacier vs Judy

[@deandredukes95]

That bedpan sound will always get me to bust out laughing 😂

[@peterashworth8376]

Having watched every episode of RTW, I’m hard pressed to think of a more random feud than Slaughter and Snow.

[@jamesspokesman653]

Alot of regular TV shows struggle to make 100 episodes, the fact that this gem is at 154 and going strong means the world to many of us. Thanks for all your hard work, passion and integrity to help us RTW. You're the true Jam Up Guy WB.

[@IronTitantrons]

I love the culture we've made with the various jokes through this awesome thursday series. If you get the Bret "Shut Up" clip from this vid and watch it with absolutely no context of Hogans proverbs, or the outlaws promo's, then it would be insane. Keep it up 👍

[@jonaskane4363]

That bedpan 'clang' is still one of the most perfect things to have ever occurred on television.

[@fitey15]

her presence has been made into a joke by the WWF revisionist history (and on some level rightfully so) but Judy cut some tremendous promos for just being a wrestler's mom. I audibly said "THANK YOU" when you started praising her lol

[@MTG_Scribe]

According to Mick Foley's first book, none of the stuff between him and Vince was discussed before it happened. They thought it would come off better if Mick just did whatever he wanted and Vince was forced to react to it, and I think they were right.

[@AllieRX]

"That's it. Raw wins Reliving The War this week." **credits roll** 🤣

“Damnit, leave!” And “Oh I’ll take it from here nurse.” Are two of the funniest moments in the history of wrestling. I laugh just thinking about them

WCW had so much missed potential in their undercard

[@zlinedavid]

Imagine if you took WCW’s cruiserweights and just tacked them on to WWFs roster.

[@ryankeefe2102]

So apparently the LWO originally was supposed to be Konnans faction but they liked him in the Wolfpack so they gave it to Eddie in retrospect it would've made more sense for K Dogg to have the lwo

[@BrianRobinson-pg7sh]

Especially since Konann was the leader for the luchadores in WCW. I know he listened to what Eddie said but bischoff wasn't giving anyone a chance

Both shows were good, but the McMahon segments in the hospital were iconic in the era. Once again, a WCW main event that sounded amazing on paper, but ended up as a bait-&-switch to build to a Pay-per-View instead.
