It's 5.20.1996 and it's time to watch WCW Nitro and WWF Raw to see which show was really the best. This week's episode of Reliving The War marks the end of an era for World Championship Wrestling; not only is this the last Nitro broadcast to run under 2 hours, but this is also the calm before the storm... the final Nitro before Scott Hall's WCW return (leading to the eventual formation of the nWo). The whole Monday Night War was about to drastically change.
Raw is showing taped matches from Sioux City Iowa while Nitro is live from Monroe, Louisiana. The Steiner Brothers, Ric Flair, Eddie Guerrero and The Giant all work matches on TNT while The British Bulldog, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Savio Vega and Jake "The Snake" Roberts compete on the USA Network. The 1996 Slamboree results are also covered in this video.

Man, this must've been the 3rd month in a row that Flair has worn those green trunks and yellow boots.

I know I remember he wore that gear quite a bit. Walking out there in yellow and green like he’d been sponsored by sprite or something 😂😂😂

DDP is a great man. I saw a video with an little old disabled lady giving the Diamond Cutter salute to DDP not because she ever heard of WCW but because she can finally stand on her own two feet again.

Seriously. He's saved so many lives outside of his wrestling career with his fitness regime.

[@Goomyx1492]

He was one of my favorites when I was a kid and then he seemed to fall of the face of the Earth. It was amazing discovering a couple of years ago all that fantastic work he's done outside of the ring too.

He sued her and she had to pay him $50 😂

I had that Warrior Comic as a kid lol. It was free with a WWF Magazine

[@MrMcKane]

I'm loving the running joke of the Glacier vignette. Just a couple more months...

[@dbloam]

Spoiler!

[@manuscriptking8175]

I WAS THINKING DA SAME THING

[@middleclassboardgamer]

I was deep into Nitro during this time and probably saw maybe 1 Vega match because I almost never watched WWF. That dude’s kicks were for real.

[@Tony-fq5bn]

Lol, 96 was Savio Vegas year in the WWF apparently

[@bradbishop5687]

Same for me, I'm watching these trying to figure out when I started watching Nitro and I'm looking forward to figuring out when I started switching over to WWF and then when I was pretty much 100% WWF

Can’t wait for next week’s episode cause it’s definitely gonna be the real beginning of A New WCW Era

[@manuscriptking8175]

YES!! LAWD!!!😲😲😲

[@justdirt]

This series has turned me into a huge Sting and Luger fan. WCW is so stacked, but they keep playing it so safe. Like insane Macho Man, Ric Flair at the peak of his powers, Sting and Luger in the physical primes, even hogan and the giant still have appeal.

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

They were starting out and testing the waters. It took a while till they found their own rhythm. When they did ... the music was too sweet. The only thing you're wrong about is Hogan was losing appeal. (He keeps pointing out how fans bood him). However WCW knew exactly how to handle that problem.

[@cyn1x62]

Last one of 2020 a little more light in a dark year. Thank you for what you do! #EffOff2020

If I had a time machine I'd go back to right then, a time when wrestling was great and things like this could be said on national TV and no one got "cancelled"

[@CardShopReality]

1:26 into the video is ME on the right holding up White foam US title belt with 4 fingers in the air. Very cool reliving this. And also cool to be posting on Jan 1st, 2020. THUMBS UP from us at The Card Shop in Bastrop, Louisiana only 25miles from Monroe, LA site of this episode of Nitro!

[@TheLmoney420]

This is truly the “Calm before the storm” as Monday Nights will never be the same after next week!

I have a feeling that something big will happen in the next episode. Also RIP Kevin Greene.

[@YungJules001]

Man, your delivery has gotten top notch. I really like how you describe matches and throw jokes here and there haha Happy new year! 🎊

[@arpegio88]

During the 1-2-3 Kid/ Savio Vega match, there was a spot where Vega and Waltman were trying to get DiBiase's attention when facing towards him while in a rest hold but DiBiase never looked up to acknowledge them while doing commentary. Savio and Waltman had to repeat the whole spot and the referee had to get DiBiase's attention the second time so they were able to pull it off. You could also hear Waltman say "COME ON!" Very loudly as he was becoming impatient!😆

[@kingjay239]

Can i just say that the intro to this series is amazing? The burning Wrestling Bios logo is cool af.

[@mannypatino2081]

Sweet. Next week I can once again relive the memory of when I shouted out to my dad, "Hey, Dad, Razor Ramon just walked into the ring on Nitro!"

[@rekmadethebeat]

I legitimately thought the wwf was coming to wcw

[@orllyfools14X8]

Man this has been the best way to relive these memories. I fell off wrestling after the Monday night wars and I try to get into the new stuff but it’s just way too stupid to even turn my brain off and enjoy. I’d rather watch this kind of stuff.

I’m coming in late but I just wanted to say before I start the Scott Hall /outsiders era, THANK YOU! This is the best gift to people like me who grew up watching this era every week. I was 7 during this time and to be honest I didn’t know what WWF was until a year later when I got a N64 game warzone. Then the war start for me lol. Thanks again man seriously this is the best content on KZbin right now.

Happy New Year, thanks for the videos and re-igniting my passion for wrestling over the past year and a half. I still can't stomach anything made today but I've loved learning more about the lads and lasses who inspired me to wrestle my pillow as a kid. I didn't start watching wrestling until 1999 so this series is the cherry on top.
