Reliving The War takes a look at the WWF Raw vs WCW Nitro "Monday Night War" that took place in the mid 90s to early 2000s. The WWF and WCW put on their flagship Monday Night wrestling shows at the same time and fans had to make a choice on which tv show they would watch, resulting in both organizations putting on some exciting broadcasts while trying to gain wins in the television ratings. Reliving The War looks at every match and promo that took place during this time period.
It's the night after WWF King of the Ring 1997 and more backstage problems between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels lead to Raw going through creative changes. Because the Hitman and The Heartbreak Kid have went home, the main event of this week's Raw gets changed. Elsewhere on the show Rob Van Dam battles Flash Funk, Owen Hart takes on Sycho Sid, and Davey Boy Smith defends the European Title against Goldust.
WCW Nitro kicks off with big news; The Outsiders vs Roddy Piper & Ric Flair is going to take place live on TNT. Also, Hollywood Hogan is scheduled to wrestle, and Lex Luger is the man he'll face on Nitro. Chris Jericho vs Alex Wright and a Cruiserweight Trios match also takes place on WCW's Monday night show.

Just wanted to let people know that I was playing wwe2k14 last weekend, and in "Defeat the Streak" I made Undertaker tap out to a chin-lock.

I just realized that, when it all plays out, this series will last exactly as long as the actual Monday night war and that makes me happy because so much hasn't happened yet.

I think it’s going to be a landslide victory for WWF by 1999 but I’m interested to see how it goes.

[@AkrimTabbouli]

Omg Sting going back into the rafters riding DDP was absolutely amazing. I am crying with laughter! DDP would have been scared shitless. I want someone to ask him about this spot 🤣.

I love watching this series evolve from a historical recount of the wrestling wars into a comedy show with all the inside jokes. The whole Davey Boy match was great and I'm still smiling and chuckling when I think about the Glacier beat down.

[@brewesharp3129]

Sting riding on DDPs back up to the rafters was one of the best things ive ever seen in wrestling.Thank you Wrestling Bios!

[@Dad84]

“No lady can resist the Davy Boy Smith Chinlock……. Just as Sunny” 😂😂😂 Man you are a wrestling legend bio’s 👍🏻

A chinlock that lasted over a minute, I about came all over myself :)

The mark Curtis animation is IT 😂😂, I swear Wrestling Bios just keeps getting better and better with the presentation, I've been here and will continue to be here for it

[@TheImapotato]

It is the old 10,000 hr trope. The more he spends editing these videos, the better he gets in throwing in elements, transitions and overlays at a perfect moment. Those Mark Curtis bang bangs were great

[@xzzz444x9]

Reliving the war is always my favorite part of the week

[@pezpowerproductions2602]

I had to pause my horsemen business to watch this. im so excited.

[@trondrew]

How do you do this so consistently without fail? Are there ever days where you're wrestling-ed out? I only ask because I'm so continually impressed with how great your content is... You're never phoning it in, you're always top notch and we mere mortals out here are so thankful.

[@seanjones7339]

Right definitely he should be put in the wwe hall of fame

[@skyatollah2skyharder276]

Dude has the need to take care of Horsemen Business.

[@trondrew]

@@seanjones7339 if that were the case then i'm sure they'd ask him to create his own hype video.

[@martynodonnell8467]

I’ve often wondered the same thing. He’s either doing the videos for his channel 24/7 or got a few people helping him out. Either way it’s top class entertainment every time, videos are Always very professional. I’d like him to be inducted into the hall of fame too. It’s a pity WWE are on his back sometimes about this channels videos. He’s creating more fans for WWE, in the form of people from here, signing up for WWE network just to watch the classic content. That aside this channels videos are much more entertaining than anything the WWE has put out, over the last 10-15 years.

[@kyleisaac7404]

No f@ckin' doubt... Guy's just as much of a legend as the wrestlers he presents in these videos. Kudos to the man behind the channel... 💯 👏

@10:00... laughing my ass off at the Saturday Wright Fever piece.

[@atmwrestling]

This is really the only wrestling youtube channel I like, and I like it a lot. No self serving stuff. No having to look at some annoying British gen z who was born the day before the shield debut, talking to me about Barry Windham. No "woke" music in the background with "news" videos 10 times a day. No 4 hour videos about where every concessions stand worker who ever worked a thunder taping is now. Just straight up facts, and breakdowns of when it used to be better, every time. Thank you Wrestling Bios.

[@jimbo_1312]

New England was WWF territory. Having a packed house for a Nitro at a major venue like the TD Garden in Boston really puts into perspective how big WCW was at the time. Especially when you consider the smaller venues that were typically used at the time.
