Reliving The War aims to cover the entire "Monday Night War" time period of professonal wrestling. With WWF Raw and WCW Nitro going head to head every Monday night, fans had to choose which show they'd watch as both companies tried to put on their best show week after week. Reliving The War looks at every match and promo from Raw is War and Nitro (on a weekly basis) to see which show was truly the best.
On WWF Raw is War, Mankind sends a message to Steve Austin. While wearing an Austin 3:16 shirt and a sign that says "Pick me Steve" around his neck, Foley battles The British Bulldog while still hoping to becoming Steve's tag team partner. Bret Hart returns to Raw and he has a confrontation with Tommy "Hitman" Hearns, and the WWF also put on their first ever televised Triple Threat match. Ahmed Johnson is in attendance and he explains why he joined The Nation of Domination.
On WCW Nitro, DDP gets a main event match against Scott Hall. Lex Luger and The Giant talk about their upcoming Bash at the Beach tag match against Hollywood Hulk Hogan and Dennis Rodman, and the nWo's Vicious and Delicious cut a promo at the expense of The Steiner Brothers.

Botched the date at the start of the video. That's the last time Glacier helps me edit a video. Anyway... we might need a tag team name for Hulk Hogan and Dennis Rodman. Let me know your suggestions ⬇

[@highwaydwell]

BIG STRONG HULK 'N' ROD

[@phenomenalone7134]

Rod Hogan

[@georgelea4297]

Hulk Zilla or the Rod of Hulk

[@timbartschwolfman]

The Hollywood Bulls

[@mrmoose6619]

Two Worms.

[@PaulWerkema]

Can't wait for Karate Bios! I'm sure there will be a deep dive into the story of how Glacier was denied the role as the Blue Power Ranger, and it caused him to go into exile in WCW.

[@jaking1185]

I watched all of these from the beginning and love how they have gotten progressively better and funnier. Keep up the good work!

[@williammcmahon2482]

I stamp that ✅

[@mrmoose6619]

Welcome to Thursday Afternoon Reliving the War. The best wrestling show on the KZbins out there. Thanks once again for this episode. Hopefully there is at least one chinlock. We deserve it.

[@DeathRobotKailozo]

Well you’re gonna be either really happy or really sad, given the context.

[@KaijuLover85]

I agree 100%

[@Mattnova_116]

Syxx did

[@therealmccoy6112]

Not doing a Hart Foundation vs LOD match in 97 when Anvil returned and Bret was a top guy on Raw, even if it was just a throwaway match, was such a missed opportunity by WWF

[@greyjedi6430]

Totally agree should have been a summer slam ,a call back to like 1990 demolition l.o.d hart foundation storyline

[@kevinpayton2664]

I would've loved to see Bret and Jim reunite as a tag team in 1997.

[@ignatiusjackson235]

True, but I wonder if Animal's drug abuse was affecting his performance by this point. He seemed to botch in one of those clips. Or was it Hawk? Sometimes I get the guys in Dungeon of Doom mixed up. Ah, well... 😉

@@NeverQuit87 Also the music he plays when Glacier is in a match is from the Sega Genesis version of Mortal Kombat II.

[@BobbyBlack988]

That triple threat match for the IC title was the very first wrestling match I ever saw and it made me a fan instantly. I now know fully how long I've been a wrestling fan.

[@ItsShaz1]

Yes another Reliving the War episode and more Saturday Wright Fever with Das Wunderkind! I love it!

[@w.biermann5531]

Big Bratwurst!

[@austinsmith7731]

I wake up on thursdays knowing im gonna get treated to the most well put together history show probably ever. Thanks as always

[@Immoralsalvage]

As Sabu desperately tries to break the table he hears faintly in the distance "I am the Table".

[@metalcoffie]

I was at this episode of RAW. I'd of been....15 at the time. At the opening of the show for a brief moment they focused on my "Worlds Crappiest Wrestling" sign. lol

[@OIFIIIOIF-VET]

Anytime Wright dances, my week has been made.

[@ShawnPhoenix]

The fact that nobody called Ernest Miller / Glacier named them "Snow Leopards" is disappointing

[@Am71919]

Not too many things can pull me away from my piano in the middle of the day but an episode of wrestling bios definitely can

[@aaronmnowak]

I wish i could like this multiple times like a tiktok. I feel like i have to save my like 👍🏽 for when Alex Wright comes on screen and starts dancing. BEST PART!

[@michaelrein5207]

This is the best series on KZbin. I’m sure it takes a ton of time and work, so thank you. This is what I grew up to and thoroughly enjoy “Reliving the War”.

[@exilhamburger4802]

Having Pat Patterson as the referee is a nice way of proving the importance/uniqueness of that triple threat match!

[@zlinedavid]

Makes it go banana.

[@Hyde_Hill]

Have to say Brrr and Purrr was the best one. Given your own reaction it was maybe as well for you.

[@NaZtRdAmUs]

Alex Wright really went all in on his gimmick.

[@bigbaddawg101]

I couldn't help but laugh at the security guards holding back the DOA and the Nation. They picked some of the most overweight cops they could find to try to hold back some massive pro wrestlers. It was hilarious.

[@camschuster5947]

The Alex Wright intro is absolute gold…

[@Gerald.Smith403]

Not going to lie, I start doing my Saturday Wright Fever dance while I make a jam sandwich at quarter after twelve on Thursday here in Calgary, Alberta Canada when I see the Reliving The War notification! The series is on fire!

[@jjwallnutts]

I’ll never tire of hearing who has the jam 😂😂

[@lucasblubaugh8786]

SATURDAY WRIGHT FEVER makes every Thursday better. Another excellent episode wrestling bios.

[@axeoseilez3207]

Arn dugginson that legit cracked me up. I also want that chin lock t shirt definitely on my wish list

[@fitness65]

I always go to work counting the hours until reliving the war so I can watch it during the slow moments at work and it always delivers

[@Thor-Orion]

Tommy Hearns is amazing. One of my favorite boxers ever.

[@JB-xh5mc]

He definitely had the jam.

[@frankshackles5567]

I feel what your going through with wwe taking down your videos on KZbin. They did me the same way. Unlike me though your not letting them get you down... Bravo brotha keep up the videos, I rewatch as much as possible. Big fan. Thank you for bringing back the best times in wwf/wcw. You rock

[@elonmusksellssnakeoil1744]

I can't believe you didn't include the best tag team names for Glacier and The Cat: The Cat and Shat Connection, Sub-Par Zero, The Ice Age Outlaws, and The two guys Psycho Sid was thinking of when he said 'kick or be kickin’.

[@deant3980]

Ah that last one. Gold.

[@CHAOTIXMaddLass]

This is how Thursdays were meant to be spent watching reliving the war, gonna play catch up and watch episode 1-53 ❤️

[@Vladraac]

Perfect timing, sir! I'm snowed in and thoroughly enjoying this Hart Certified Jam. My house is the new Casa del Frostyballs with all this ice and snow ❄️ and I'm not even mad about it.

[@KEWLV1C]

I love how you edited Alex Wrights dance into the intro lol And dude, Dirty Old Assholes?! Freakin ☠️

[@toptenguy1]

Fun fact that only I will care about : My family got the internet in 1997, and this was the first EVER Raw that I actually saw spoilers online before watching. "The Grimm Twins with Crush!" lol

[@toptenguy1]

@Random Fagget Haha it was fun for me! :D My whole world changed on that night! Suddenly, Live vs Taped shows were like night and day! :)

[@dylanpennington6105]

Another damn good episode. Hate that it's only aired once a week, especially when they're this good, but love having it to look forward to.

[@ghastlyanarchy1720]

They're this good because they're only once a week. Quality over quantity.

[@dylanpennington6105]

@@ghastlyanarchy1720 yeah no doubt. Not to mention, he's already made a comment about how the amount of time it takes to get each episode done, would make it impossible to make any type of quality content. I was just making my comment, in a way of saying I really enjoyed it.

[@calvinfolan1736]

That "Davey Boy Chinlock" spot always pops me. 🤣

[@tuskybarn]

Arn Dugenson is an amazing catch, almost woke up a toddler when you pointed that out!!

Watching a lot of these episodes in close proximity, the job they've done with Paul Bearer's burns make-up and having it progressively heal is pretty cool

[@justinleandoer6821]

Winter storm has hit our area but it's time for Reliving The Chinlocks

[@dantheories7276]

As a new creator, I'm still learning the craft of editing KZbin videos, and I think that Wrestling Bios makes some of the best video intros on the entire platform, as well as super high quality editing throughout. I learn a lot by watching these videos. Thanks for all the amazing content!

Mongo’s briefcase is the true villain. I think it blew out the candles at my 9th birthday party!

Curling up next to a warm fire on this cold, dreary day and looking at reliving the war soothes my soul because I don't have to go out to casa de frostyballs to get my fix.

[@TheCharlesJackson]

This will go down as the greatest series on KZbin, wrestling or not, garnering a need for documentaries on it (ironic, b/c it's a docuseries itself). Think I'll take that honor up somewhere down the line.

I was getting honestly hyped when I heard the street fighter mix and the game lego and was thinking it was real game about pulling off the ultimate finishing move...oh well. The T-shirt looks great tho!

[@davidmckevitt4761]

For the last 3 weeks I’ve been watching the Raw and Nitro episodes on the network in advance of Reliving The War and I would advise anyone with the time to do the same. It makes it even more enjoyable. You can pick out the spots you know are gonna get a mention while also make up your own mind which program was more enjoyable and see if Ryan thought the same.
