Raw vs Nitro "Reliving The War": Episode 184 - May 3rd 1999

[@DeaDGoD_XIV]

That you're going to donate the income from two of your videos that'll cover the tragedy coming up to the Owen Hart Foundation is awesome. Much respect.

[@TheDorkKnight5419]

I was going to post this also. Hearing that made me so happy because I knew that unfortunately this day was going to be relived and it's nice to know there's a silver lining. Will definitely be donating

[@DeaDGoD_XIV]

@@TheDorkKnight5419 yeah, wasn't looking forward to this part of the timeline, but at least some good will come from it

[@seanjones7339]

Ya definitely awesome for your jammness

[@ElGarnelo]

@@DeaDGoD_XIVI was on the fence to watch those videos. This is still a death in the business that hurts so much. It’s a great decision to donate the money.

[@DeaDGoD_XIV]

@@ElGarnelo I'm going to watch, I can't afford to donate at the moment so the best I can do is give via the KZbin revenue my view will generate

[@furyianz]

That David flair vs meng match had me dying 😆.

[@drdeans_the2nd]

If the meng manly meter was still a thing, David would somehow fall two-three tiers below booty man! 😂

[@kathleenpreuss]

I couldn't stop laughing......so funny

[@19seandel78]

I've never laughed so hard in my life

[@alexandermacdougall7873]

My favorite segment of this entire series😂

[@AquamentusLives]

I’m crying, I’m laughing so hard 😂

[@ImInevitable1987]

The whole Meng vs David Flair segment had me in tears 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@tripleh327]

3 years 3 years of reliving the war And finally one match broke wrestling bios professional attitude and made him laugh A moment that will live forever in history

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

There was another time before this when it happened a little, but nothing like this. It's one of my favorite segments of anything on KZbin. 😆👍

[@mikebuglione32]

The David Flair match was one of the funniest things in the whole RTW series. I needed that today lol

[@kawimason361]

😂😂😂

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

Same! I’ve legit not slept in 3 days and my work commute is 2 hours one way. I’m finally done and I can’t wait until I get home so I can have a proper laugh and stop fighting to hold it in on this train. 😅

[@DrDoomBloom]

This Mean Street Posse mix 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂…one of the all-time classic moments on this channel

[@JohnnyBoombatz1119]

Might be the longest I've seen you break during that David Flair match 😂😂😂 Also props to donating to Owen's foundation. That's very thoughtful.

[@lucasmackey2808]

27:05 Even Meng couldn’t contain his laughter to David’s selling

[@JoeyMartz]

True that. Class act on Ryan's part.

[@eltornadoAfm]

Shane has it all. The looks, the money, the terrible working punches

[@jimbo_1312]

You forgot Quads made from dried spaghetti.

[@flandersnatch2285]

And sounding like a dying walrus.

[@dualshock3462]

It’s funny and ironic how Shane learned to fall from all the dangerous heights yet in his 25 years he has still not learned how to throw a proper punch.

[@knottheory79220]

Seriously I thought for a long time the terrible punches were a deliberate character trait he did on purpose to get heat.

[@wcokeley85]

​@@dualshock3462 Shane is what Mick Foley would be like if he couldn't wrestle

[@klausschneider9963]

David Flair vs. Meng: best commentary ever 😂

[@InsomniacRocker]

I'm not even surprised to hear you are donating the money from over the edge and the tribute show for Owen. Class act as always!

[@JohnHillEU]

A jam up guy to be sure

[@brand_oni]

You laughing during the David/Ming match might be my favorite part of the entire series so far 😂😂😂. Thanks for leaving your legit reaction in 😂😂😂

[@iamdb1990]

there needs to be a "brass knucks, that don't look like brass knucks, but we'll call them brass knucks anyway" shirt or something

[@JHardenFilms]

Your Mean Street Posse intro had me laughing the first time, the second time, and now the hat trick of a third time 🤣

[@LeaderOfTheFlock]

David Flair broke this man. I can't stop laughing looking at that match. Even Meng was smiling

[@TalesOfBrandino]

hearing WB break character during the Meng and David Flair match is the WB content I live for

[@victoryusmc]

Literally had the best laugh watching David Flair vs Ming 😂. Thank you!

[@TheChrisHype]

That laughing fit was one of the greatest things ive ever heard on this channel. So infectious.

[@jameglittlejohn8585]

The whole Meng and David match took me legit 10 minutes to get through 💀🤣 and it was your reaction that made it even harder for me! Amazing video as always 🐐

[@plasticdiverguy1723]

That Flair vs. Meng match was so hilarious that Danhausen himself travelled back in time to watch it in person (left side with the sign).

[@christosanagn.9041]

[@melasnexperience]

God, my heart dropped when I saw that Blue Blazer clip. I commend your decision on how to handle the earnings from OTE & Raw Is Owen. It's the best way to do so.

[@theamazingwallymtg]

DDP: i cant think of anyone who was a manager, a commentator, and a world champion Raven: what about me? what about Raven?

[@camschuster5947]

Been waiting for this one. My first ever time seeing Raw live at 14 years old at the San Diego Sports Arena. Place went absolute apesh!t when Vince dropped Shane with that stunner. Thanks for taking us back once again WB. 😎

[@dildonius]

Did you pop for Mickolas "Mankind/Dude Love/Cactus Jack" Foley saying "The Union: The Union of People You Oughta Respect, Son or....U.P.Y.O.U.R.S., SHANE!"?

Awesome first live show. Doesn't feel that long ago eh

​@@camschuster5947that's how I always know a Sports Arena show 😆

[@sp0nge1337]

Look at the difference between how the WWE used Smackdown in its first episode and how WCW has hardly ever used Thunder in an entire year.

[@TehBuzz]

Respect to how you’re handling the whole over the edge 99 situation. It feels bizarre seeing Owen on Smackdown though.

[@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090]

He woulda ruled that field. May he rest in peace

[@strifenineteen]

You think about what could have been and a tear comes to my eye all over again

[@SpaceLordLono]

Imagine Owen in the mix with the smackdown 6

[@jlritz2553]

It would've been the Smackdown 7 in that case, no question.

[@cyrus2546]

@@jlritz2553No because Owen’s contract was to end in 2001. The Smackdown 6 was 2002-2006.

[@InfectiousGroovePodcast]

The David Flair portion of this video is HILARIOUS. Pure gold haha

[@alexandermacdougall7873]

The David Flair vs Meng segment might just be my favorite segment out of this entire series. That was hilarious listening to you trying ,and failing, not to laugh.

[@melrupp4237]

You are a gem of a person for donating everything to the Owen Hart Foundation. And even the little things like saying “if you don’t want to watch the videos, I don’t blame you” is just 100% a class act thing to say. You, my friend, are my favourite person on KZbin and just one amazing person. If I ever get the chance to meet you in person, I would love to shake your hand and tell you thank you for being you!

[@DudeMcGuybro]

I've never laughed so hard in my life than when I saw David Flair take on the role of DEER IN HEADLIGHTS. He was absolutely terrified. Do I lock up with him? Do I hit him? Do I empty my bladder and bowels and evacuate the arena? I think we learned David could multi task this week. Gold. 10/10. This is the peak.

[@dhosea101]

That David flair match is an all time wrestlingbios moment that will live forever

[@Goo_kazoo]

Its very random but this episode of Raw means a lot to me. Later that month, Paul Wight was sent to my local minor league baseball team for a meet and greet (the Rockford Cubbies--now defunct). I was 10 years old and couldn't believe how huge this man was lol. When i got to him I needed to ask him if the shot from the baseball bat in this episode hurt or not. He said "Well yeah kid, it was a baseball bat". He then started singing his theme song as "Welllll I hurt my Big Toe". Just a Tuesday or Wednesday for him, but I still remember it as a 35 year-old now.

[@DIRTBOYS]

2:05 always loved the evenflow DDT , And this one here looks wicked, the way he pulls kidman in and drops the DDT with a real snappy feel, Looks aestheticilly pleasing

[@frankyturrizo4240]

My brother died and I'd be happy if he got all the recognition Owen's about to get on your channel, don't apologize or be sad

[@HarmonySword]

Never stop doing the Posse intro. One of the many things i especially look forward to each week lol

[@bloodyiori]

Today's my birthday and that meng vs David Flair match was literally the best thing I laughed at today

[@zacharythomason7359]

Happy Birthday🎂🎂🎂🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳

My heart just broke hearing about the upcoming episodes in the aftermath of Owens death. I’ve been dreading them for a long time now. Kudos to you for donating the proceeds of the videos to the OHF.

[@pathutchison7688]

Everytime I think David flair can’t get any redder, he unveils a new, brighter shade of red. He’s gonna burst into flames one of these days.

[@wuffy8006]

I'd say he's quite green though. jk haha. I get what you mean

[@mikeharless4596]

You are becoming a legit legend in the wrestling business, my friend! Words can't speak highly enough for you donating to the charity in Owen's name. You are a stand up guy who provides some of the most entertaining content on KZbin! 😊

[@GamingManual]

David Flair vs Meng segment LMAO!!! PROPS for that epic donation, sir!

[@DrooMighty]

It really is fitting that the very first episode of Smackdown involved The Undertaker in a tag team match

[@david83ryan]

Holla playa

[@cjtquk]

*mind blown*

[@indieauthorjasonblayne7511]

Hearing you break out in laughter just makes this review pure platinum. Not gold but platinum! Priceless!

[@WalsallGooner]

That evil cackle from Paul Bearer when The Undertaker hits The Big Show with the bat was so hilarious, even decades on on, I still watch that clip

[@jeffg2189]

Long time viewer/subscriber but don't comment too often. Just had to give you major kudos for donating the proceeds. Much love and respect to everything you do. As someone who didn't start watching wrestling (mostly WWF/E) regularly until 2000, it's been an absolute pleasure watching Reliving the War to get full insight into what was going on at the time.

Classy move with the donations to the OH foundation from the videos and merchandise. One reason this channel rules. Mad respect fella.

[@jaybee5315]

Damn, neither Glacier nor Disco has ever broken you like David Flair did

[@TroyDraws]

I’m shocked at how little time these iconic factions were actually together, DX, NWO Wolfpack, the new age outlaws were all together a surprisingly short time.

[@Wandering_Nowhere]

Shane in that early SmackDown promo is the closest he's been to being a successor to Vince. The delivery, the way he held himself. Over time he could've been a huge deal in wrestling.

[@heyyou9693]

Bios, Your laughing is contagious during the David Flair and Meng match.

[@seanjones7339]

Man. This episode of Nitro is like an ADHD fever dream. The tailspin is REAL.

[@zlinedavid]

I have ADHD and may or may not have done psychedelics on occasion in my younger days. And nope….1999 WCW is still the most nonsensical disjointed mess I’ve ever witnessed.

[@PhillipCummingsUSA]

It's admirable that he's donating money but I also wouldn't just take his word for it. Many KZbinrs play this game and pocket the money. I like wrestling bios but that doesn't mean I trust KZbinrs.

I was at this WWF San Diego event. Ken Shamrock was the opening match of the Sunday Night Heat taping. Shamrock hailed from San Diego at this time, so when his music hit, he got an enormous pop from his hometown fans!
