Raw vs Nitro "Reliving The War": Episode 78 - April 7th 1997

[@paulbiddle9108]

The Horseman conducted zero business that week…..unacceptable 😂

[@toddvanevenhoven7736]

Bret and HBK would give the best promo's when talking about each other. At this time Bret in his heel run brought HBK and Austin into an unlikely partnership that I loved while Bearer's turn on Taker storyline was so mysterious especially with the secret Paul kept talking about. Raw was really heating up at this time.

[@tysonturner1565]

It’s pretty funny the amount of disappointment I feel when there are no Davey Boy Smith chin locks applied

Vince needs to go back and watch this product and take notes!!

[@kakamesh]

You know it's funny. I was watching this at the time thinking it was great but thought that Golden era was the 80's. Only in hindsight do I understand that this was the golden era of wrestling... Nwo 4 life 2 sweet....

[@mrvice308]

Yes 2nd best ,bit still was a great time in wrestling

[@QuackMamba34]

Steve Austin "You ain't gonna sit there and bully me." Gorilla Monsoon was standing the whole time.

[@exilhamburger4802]

It is still nice having segments with Gorilla Monsoon. What a career from being one of Bruno's main opponents all the way to the Monday night wars!

[@Venemofthe888]

Its going to be sad when we start to see him less and less and his last appearance being in 1999 looking very frail

[@HabsMike25]

@@Venemofthe888 I remember watching WrestleMania 15 with a few friends ,& it was sad seeing how Gorilla looked. We sensed he didn't have much longer to live. Sadly that happened in October that year. Loved Gorilla as an announcer

[@jasonnapier2284]

I'm feeling ya buddy I feel the same

[@cartoonjohn]

The WWF intro siren added to the theme at the beginning gets me pumped.

[@mephosto]

honestly, the best part of this series is the unremembered stuff. the things wwe and the standard wrestling retrospectives don't really look at. the great and sometimes awkward under and mid card, the almost schizophrenic transitional period of wwf. gimme more steven regal, ken shamrock, harlem heat and owen and bulldog.

[@Makoto03]

I love the 'Reliving the war' series. Makes me nostalgic as a 90s kid. So happy i finally caught an episode early for once. :)

A very fast way to go from self-employed to unemployed is to take time out as a business owner during business hours to watch a 40 minute KZbin Video. But hey, the upside is you’ll still be able to watch a freshly uploaded episode of Wrestling Bios, right?

[@aemondtargaryen972]

Man, when I heard that the WCW beat the WWF for 84 weeks straight, I thought that meant they had better content. But I am finding myself liking the WWF more and more and I grew up watching WCW (grant it it was only for like 2 years when I was 8-10)

[@snellsman]

Raw was better in 97 creatively All nitro had was NWO/Sting & the cruiser weights at that time But raw had better matches promos & segments in my opinion

[@kevinbrown6286]

[@rubenmachado6629]

Kevin Sullivan had Go Away Heat at this point. Rambling promos filled with insider terms, outdated catchphrase and that damn stupid finisher.. I guess it helps when you're the booker.

[@Venemofthe888]

Nobody gave a absolute damn about Sullivan ever since Hogan turned heel. He just babbles about nothing and when hes off this series he won't be missed

I'm guessing you either use a speech to text program or have a braille keyboard for leaving messages; but I'm genuinely curious how you navigate something like KZbin. How do you pick which videos to watch? I wish you a pleasant day and hope you're able to soon satiate my curiosity.
