Reliving The War takes an in-depth, week by week look at the "Monday Night War" era of pro-wrestling. With WWF Raw is War and WCW Monday Nitro going head to head on Monday nights, fans had to make a decision on which show to watch. Reliving The War aims to look at every WWF vs WCW battle from the mid 90s to early 2000s.
The WWF hold a one night tournament to crown a new Intercontinental Champion on Raw this week. Competitors in this tournament include Mankind, X-Pac, Val Venis and Ken Shamrock. Mr. McMahon beings his corvette to Raw while Stone Cold Steve Austin brings his cement truck, and Vince decides to put The Rattlesnake in a tag team match; Austin & The Rock vs The Brothers of Destruction.
On Monday Nitro the Stinger gets an offer from The Warrior and The Blade Runners end up reuniting to take on Hollywood Hogan and Bret Hart. Ric Flair and The Horsemen enter the arena thanks to their relationship with the venue owner, but Eric Bichoff still wants to make Flair leave before Nitro comes to an end.

[@thetroyb0t]

I don't know what it is about Owen Heart screaming it like that makes me think he was on the cusp of a huge push amongst fans. The whole "I am not a Nugget" was like Kurt Angle's "You Suck" but it is what it is. What a shame

[@thattecmoguy3027]

yeah, crazy. I started in Nov. 2020 when I had covid. Caught up in no time. I think he was still in 1995 around Halloween havoc/WWW3 time. Such a great series. I still go back and watch that Hulk in the graveyard promo, growling holding a broadsword. Unbeatable

Think about how spoiled we were getting Rock/Austin/Kane/Undertaker in a Raw main event. The best times.

[@KingPK]

The lighting in that Austin/Vince segment made Vince look like the Devil. I don't know if it was intentional but it worked like a charm.

[@Butt--Head]

No that's just how he looks 24/7

[@J.P.G.78]

He ain't exactly the Devil, but he'll do until the real one gets here

WWF should have kept Owen as himself would have been a good main event wrestler that could work

[@dereksather5921]

Ken Shamrock definitely deserved to win the Intercontinental tournament. Bravo to him and X Pac for working three matches each on one episode of Raw.

[@willjohnboy]

Big bossman returns for the best run of his career.

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

His first WWF run was his best

[@MrBeardsley]

“You bring your raggedy rear end DOWN HERE, you got somethin’ to say to me!” is one of those random promo lines that’s permanently stuck in my head.

[@dylanthomas9907]

That mashup of across the nation and nitro theme never gets old. Always a great sound

[@namikstudios]

This first Nitro theme is called "Mean Streets" although usually just known as the Nitro Theme. The second from 99-01 is called "Adrenaline V.1".

[@Scobbble]

Love the Blackman extended vignette! It’s a shame he has to defend the planet from inter dimensional threats so much, it deprives us of more cold as ice action!

[@hrlgold]

This is the greatest thing on KZbin if you are a wrestling fan. I’ve put all my wrestling friends on it. The comedy is gold. I would love to see you and Brian Zane team up for a review.

[@Wondering1995]

The Bret Hart “Shut up!” gets me every time. The Donkey Kong one was the best one.

[@ryankeefe2102]

The moment I saw that my heart sank knowing what's less than a year away

[@gumdeo]

If Owen hadn't been such a company guy, he should have left at this point.

[@thor1829]

​@@gumdeo iirc, Owen had to finish up his contract, then he would've retired to become a firefighter in his hometown to be with his family. Unfortunately, he never got to retire 😢

[@FilmdudeJC94]

Yeah, this one part of reliving the war we can all agree we don’t want to relive

[@Obscusion2]

​@@thor1829 The wild thing is that, had he lived, Owen's contract would have finished up in the middle (or at least early part) of the Invasion storyline, I believe. Part of me almost wonders if Owen could have been made into a big name for the Alliance in that situation (maybe with him agreeing to a short-term extension to the end of 2001), maybe even keep Stone Cold on the WWF side of things. Would have been a perfect way for Owen to go out, wanting revenge against both Vince & Austin by "leaving" WWF & trying to kill it himself, alongside the Alliance.

[@Ceej_MM]

The deep lore with Blackman and Shamrock is amazing

[@num1Jaysta]

I can't wait for him to cover their feud in summer of 99.

[@TheJaguar1983]

This was the best era of Big Boss Man. Honestly, he was one of the most dastardly heels of the mid-card.

Road Dog vs Bret Hart vignettes get better and better each week.

[@aegaeon117]

That people's elbow was gold.

[@Obscusion2]

Shamrock was arguably booked the way he should have always been booked with this tournament: Truly wild & unforgiving during matches, befitting his penchant for going into "The Zone". Definitely a great way to portray him winning his first title in WWF. Also, it's the start of Big Boss Man's most iconic run in his career! Looking forward to 1999, when he just goes full-blown unrepentant.

[@lexkanyima2195]

Then why he turn heel like a week prior

[@Obscusion2]

@@lexkanyima2195 Because that kind of portrayal would work either as a face or a heel. As a face he'd come off kind of like Goldberg to an extent (i.e. intensity personified), but as a heel he can come off as unhinged & uncontrollable.

[@lexkanyima2195]

@@Obscusion2 it felt like a insult but Shamrock should have won the IC title Wrestlemania and it's been 7 months too late.

Shows you the differences with the 2 companies at this time. When Ray Traylor went to WCW, they did nothing with him. When he returned to WWF, he was quickly established as a threat.

[@gregoryjohnson9733]

Loved JJ's face when he held head lol.

[@WarriorKiyo]

I think Warrior was still hurt from Fall Brawl at this time. He had his arm wrapped up which is why he kept the jacket on during the match.

[@SBandy]

Loved that People's elbow 😂

[@freakshowfilmfestival3591]

Billy Gunn was in the arena at the last show. There was a group of people around a tv, Stone Cold was watching himself driving the Zamboni to the ring, and Billy Gunn was laughing at it while Stone Cold looked like he was studying it. So it was weird to me to find out he wasn't wrestling that night. He was there, he seemed fine. Triple H wasn't. Chyna was pushing him around in a wheelchair, and when he was on his own he was on crutches then back to the wheelchair. They had a screen set up to take pictures of his head for his Halloween mask. He wasn't in a good mood. I don't blame him.

Vince is the greatest heel in wrestling history, hands-down.

Dude. thank you so much for putting these videos out week after week. I love this nostalgia rewind, going back ever week to watch this. When all this reliving the War stuff is over, I hope this becomes a chronological playlist, so that I can just set this up like a podcast. I know you've been having some issues from YT about the supposed "copyright infringement", but despite that you're doing an awesome job, mate. I could go on a good 30 minutes about the production quality, the cut scenes, and the ongoing meta-humor like Steve Blackman that just makes this a absolute joy to watch. However, I gotta give props even more to whomever is making these remixed music bits! This ending credits clip is just straight fire! If nothing else, I wish you could have a "Revivling the War" Playlist on Spotify, itunes or whatever. I'd certainly support that with pay if it was possible, ANyway, keep doing the awesome work, don't overwork yourself, I can see how keeping to a schedule would be stressful. Take care of yourself, Laters'.
