Raw vs Nitro "Reliving The War": Episode 70 - February 10th 1997

[@FurdTurgeson]

When people ask me what I’m watching every Thursday I just tell them “it’s Horsemen Business, you wouldn’t understand”

[@JGarrison51285]

This is great 😂😂

[@lordrosemount]

One has to wonder what all this 'Horseman business' was, that prevented them from attending literally their only jobs.

Indeed 🤣🤣🤣

[@danlab21]

My favorite as well

[@zakkmylde1712]

Easily the best of the bunch by far.

[@jacobhayes4404]

Wow HHH and the Rock in the opener. That's freaking crazy considering where both would be in the early 2000s

[@toptenguy1]

Yep, they were pretty much intertwined for multiple years. Feuding here.. Then leaders of feuding factions in 1998.. Then Upper Midcard/#1 Contenders' feud in 1999.. And then Main event feud in 2000.

[@ShyCashual]

@@planescaped what about savio Vega?

[@voltron983]

"Neither Triple H nor The Rock are good enough to sit under the Honky Tonk learning tree." I'll bare those words in mind when we get to 1999 and see if The Honky Tonk Man made the right call in rejecting these two.

[@MrManbir101]

don't even have to wait that long, early 1998 will do

[@jaxsquier]

I'm shocked Hunter did the job for the newbie.

Right before the gum hits Debra, someone should edit Mr. Perfect doing his gum slap lol

That would be Shaqtin a Fool levels of editing there, lol.

A winner is gum

I haven't watched wrestling for almost 20 years now, but I can't tell you how much I appreciate this series and your content in general. It still allows me to enjoy it! One of the few things I look forward to on a weekly basis on YT. I've been since the very beginning and it's great to see you get the recognition you rightfully deserve! Thank you!

[@jblazin52]

I'm in the exact same boat. Haven't watched since the attitude era. This series brings me back to my childhood. I'm grateful for this series

[@teapulp]

During the first set of months after Austin begins getting those full-crowd "Austin" chants, you can really see it hit him and fire him up. Good fans can help build character and change the energy of the moment all at the same time.

[@lexkanyima2195]

He was getting on the map

[@DManDoyle]

Honky Tonkin Man missed a golden opportunity to take Rocky under his wings and call him Rock-a-billy

[@Rob_Thorsman]

Rock would look GREAT with a pompadour.

When The Rock and Triple H met for the first time on this night, who would have thought that those two would have a iconic rivalry in the future.

[@constablekennedy7705]

HHH Focused on the Wrong Arm as the ‘Rock’ clearly hit his Right Arm into the RingPost … 👀

Turn that upside-down frown back around.

Hang on. If Sunny's managing days are over does that means there's a new opening for Apollo: The Personal Trainer?

[@lukecampbell801]

I would honestly enjoy an Apollo Crews time travel story

[@tafua_a]

Shanme the Bodydonnas are also gone. Still, he can manage the Triple Threat!

[@adrianshappymoments9343]

I really enjoy the N64 WcW vs NWO World Tour music you put it in the end. Very nice touch

[@DaywalkerNL94]

Even though we laugh at Shawn, the segment and things around it were nicely done

[@freddiejohnson6137]

I swear you don't sleep making these videos, the amount you put out is impressive considering the research put in and quality. Just don't lose your smile doing it.

[@jakepayne1984]

I liked High Voltage when I was younger. They had a good look and decent moves.

[@RichSmithson]

Surprised you didn't mention the "Rocky Sucks" chants started this week. It was only for about 30 seconds but you could tell that crowd liked HHH more then Rock.

It must take a lot of work, research and effort and it’s highly appreciated. I look forward to all of your videos through the week, however reliving the war is my favourite and a highlight of my week. I no longer watch the current product and haven’t since the mid 00s. However very much enjoy reliving the Monday night war through your channel, thanks very much again ✌️

Her role in Debra's wcw was that at first she only accompanied her husband, since a mongo was part of the 4 horsemen. And then she started getting a push where she would have her history with Jarrett, where Debra apparently liked Jarrett.
