Reliving The War takes an in-depth look at the WWF vs WCW / Raw vs Nitro "Monday Night War". Each match and segment is looked at individually to determine which show was truly the best each and every week.
The WWF just presented "Revenge of the Taker" and Stone Cold Steve Austin is determined to finish what he started at the PPV. On this week's episode of Raw, Austin calls out Bret Hart and the two agree to a Street Fight. The Hart Foundation organize an ambush on Stone Cold but with help from Shawn Michaels, Steve is able to turn things around and the street fight doesn't end well for Bret. The Undertaker battles Triple H in the Raw main event.
On Monday Nitro, the new Director of the WCW Executive committee gets announced; JJ Dillon. Dillon arrives to Monday Nitro with news about Eric Bischoff's current position within the company. Kevin Nash cuts his famous "potholes" promo where he talks about how guys like Ric Flair and Roddy Piper left the wrestling business in bad condition for the young guys, and Syxx has a match this week against Rey Mysterio Jr. The nWo welcome back an original member at the end of the show.

[@QuackMamba34]

Steve Austin and Gorilla Monsoon bickering was always entertaining. Gorilla- "you're outta control." Austin-"you damn right and I ain't through yet." Gorilla- "I need you to get your ass outta here." Austin-"nobody talks to me like that!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@martynodonnell8467]

Yeah a predecessor to Austin VS McMahon.

[@samuelaarredondo397]

"I can't wait to skip Rockabilly's matches" Is a t-shirt I'd wear

[@DyspotikOriginal]

I love the number of callbacks, the inside jokes those who closely follow the series would recognize. Great stuff as always and send some funny pack treats, we all need a boost

[@DerekDomino71]

The "Shawn Michaels fanny pack" had me legit LOL. That explains it alright. Anyway, glad you could get this video up. My family and I moved last year around this time, and while it wasn't far, it was a legit pain in the arse. I don't envy you having to do that. Horsemen business comes first, to take your time if you need to.

[@jeremyweatherall4982]

7000 👍's for the fake Double J's new tune!!

[@troywright359]

Fanny Pack? WB should know that here in the UK, we call it a Bum Bag mate!

[@bigtone7078]

Nick Patrick gives me Major Kenny Powers vibes. Especially with the stache and rocking the cutoff ref shirt

[@T-Bag13]

Here we go again, thank you WrestlingBio's.

[@nicolbolas5891]

I think the Dungeon of Doom has their own scales. Ming got his manly meter, Jacqueline has her womanly meter, the others got their tag team meter, and Jimmy got his managerial meter. But Kevin Sullivan has the most powerful meter, he got the creative control meter.

[@markjonovitch1093]

Sullivan has the TOO LEGIT TO QUIT meter :-)

[@richarddowdjr.6461]

[@ricstormwolf]

Meng. Not Ming. Although, "Meng the Merciless" would be funny.

[@michaels.8309]

I forgot about Hall's return, that was awesome to see. Honestly, love to relieve some of these early NWO days. Definitely lots of missteps but I still remember getting excited about it as a teenager.

[@JLynck1]

Bro! Your comedic personality has evolved more than DDP's character in 1996. I find myself laughing for nearly 30 straight minutes this week. Great video!

[@PLB117]

Amazing promo by Kevin Nash, he was saying the truth. On the other hand I remember that Piper's reply next week will be great too. You can tell that they had some heat. Of course the same goes for Scott Hall, I remember that he's going to call Piper and Flair Dinosaurs on his next promo. This feud is brilliant.

[@Mrryn]

Gotta credit this series for helping me revisit just how good Nash was in this period. Even the promo he cut at the commentary table teasing nWo tension was great and the fact that it seemed like things got cut at the knees was shame. Some of Nash's promo work had serious hints of a tweener/antihero role for his character, this far ahead of the Wolfpac.

[@dustman820]

@@Mrryn It started for Kevin when he was in the WWF as Diesel. The night after Survivor Series 1995 when he started a tweener/antihero role until he turned on Shawn Michaels before WrestleMania XII. I always loved when Kevin Nash was a badass. Whether it was as Diesel or the first year and a half of the nWo.

[@GriffinNoel1]

Next week's Raw has a special place in my heart. It was in my hometown and it was first wrestling show I ever got to go to live. And through what can only be called luck my mom got got floor tickets on the hard cam side. Hell my dad can even been seen on camera for a second during Bret Hart's promo

[@layersofjade5197]

Same for me except my situation was this week.

[@BlueSpiceSpace]

Really great shows week in and week out in 97, what a difference 80 weeks makes!

[@martynodonnell8467]

97, the best year ever in pro wrestling.

[@donnyjepp]

Thanks Wrestling Bios for giving me a little bit of joy on an otherwise crappy day.

[@barry-allenthe-flash8396]

Get the next episode out whenever you can; don't worry about it. Everyone should be satisfied with the "Horseman business will take me away pretty soon" line :) Thanks for getting this out! Good luck with the move; hope everything looks smoothly for ya!

[@Venemofthe888]

That Jeff Jarrett part had me dying great job lol

[@GlobalWarmingSkeptic]

This had to be hard work to get this done in time. Thank you for getting this out there. This series is such amazing work. As far as taking a week off I'm just super excited for how often we get these so if we miss a week cuz of some good ol' Horseman(tm) Business I won't mind.

[@sharmat1611]

Now my Thursday can begin.

[@camwatson1030]

The HHH vs Undertaker match is one of the more underrated matches of theirs

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

NO WAY Vince would EVER have THAT as a Wrestlemania match...

[@TheBrister]

Bret throwing up the double birds while getting put in the sharpshooter is so funny to me.

Yeah, it's kinda like he was saying, if you're gonna use my favorite move, I'm gonna use your favorite hand gesture 😂😂😂😂😂

[@JamesR1986]

I never realized that the Dungeon of Doom lasted as long as it did. This is supposed to be the peak of WCW's dominant and yet Sullivan is still clowning around.

[@damonodell9125]

Imagine being a 6-year-old watching this, and it inspires you to become a wrestler. So you work very hard, get to the top, and get handed a piece of paper telling you that your job tonight is to clap and cheer for a dementia ridden billionaire holding a golden egg.

[@Emporkommling]

Eggs get sports entertainers over, pal! Just look at Hector Guerrero

[@inuenndo_]

these 40 minutes really fly by, when it’s quality content

[@doriangreen3231]

If only that Raw main event would have included Taker and Triple H kicking out of their finishers followed by them lying on the mat most of the time, then it could have been a classic!

[@ryankeefe2102]

That was pretty good

[@chrisryan6277]

I was expecting a week off, THANK YOU for cranking it out! 🙏

[@SNESertainment]

I was at the April 28th 97 episode of Raw. My first ever show. If you need any crowd perspectives let me know. Brian Pillman came out preshow to antagonize the crowd for heat before the opening segment

[@anthonyharris4234]

Yes another Thursday reliving the war episode 👏👏👏. I anticipate this more then the football game tonight

[@stewartmeetball3417]

Going too miss this.. take care I await your return big man

[@laserramon9926]

Bro, you don't know how much this series means to me and many others. Thanks again for getting this done despite your busy schedule.

[@AngelusFitzgerald]

this Raw episode is pretty historic because it was the first episode written by vince russo.

[@FUGP72]

I read that somewhere too, but I also read that his first one was actually a couple weeks earlier.

[@Bit2brain]

Nash’s promo was top notch. Austin beating Bret on the stretcher was classic.

[@sablemae8853]

Man nitro being 30 minutes away from my house and I didn't go. This was a few months before I got back into wrestling but if I would've known about it I would've went. Not surprised that a fight happened in the stands. That's Saginaw for you. A pretty tough town especially in the mid to late nineties

[@kazarubossgamearchive7205]

Austin and Bret, really what an awesome rivalry, wish it lasted even longer, just good stuff.

[@marcusmclaughlin3208]

Glacier made us wait for months so he can wait for a minute🤣🤣🤣

[@HaussmannComics]

SWEET!!! I didn't even realize it was Thursday! Thanks for making my day!

[@martynodonnell8467]

Another awesome video from the greatest wrestling channel on the planet. Both Nitro and Raw were awesome this week. Although Nash made many good points during his promo. He was a little hypocritical. As not only would he become one of the wrestlers on top who no one could get over. He was also a huge part of the NWO. Which was obviously Hogans group. They weren’t putting anyone over at the time. I think a fight between Shamrock and Tyson. Would have been good and would have drawn big money. However with it “having to be in a WWF ring” if it had gone ahead it’s very unlikely it would have been a legit MMA VS Boxer fight. I remember it being spoke about back in the day however. I would have also liked to have seen Bret VS Shawn at King Of The Ring 97, had Shawn put Bret over, it be interesting to see how this would change the whole course of things. Especially at Survivor Series 97.

[@beane10]

Thank you WB, we appreciate you bustin ur ass to get out content for the community. It’s why you are a top draw content creator, ur work ethic & drive, along with ur appreciation for ur fans, are unmatched! Cheers mate, hope ur house move is goin smoothly!
