@@coryshannon3815 yup.. I don't think Austin would have stood out if they didn't have all those stables..I hate when people write off mid card wrestlers acting like they had no impact on how big wrestling got starting in the late 90s. Immean I get why at the time people write them off. But now looking back it's hard to deny how much of an impact the mid Carter's actually had and this is a perfect example Austin became the biggest star of his timeand arguably the biggest star of all the time because he was that lone Wolf amongst a sea of gangs.. if all those factions weren't around how could he have got in that lone Wolf persona? Definitely not by just fighting a bunch of different tag teams by himself that wouldn't work.. stone cold should go around and thank every person involved in the gang warswithout them I really doubt Austin would be as big as he was

Especially after the Montreal screwjob with Bret...Owen joined the nation because there was nothing else for him and even tho it was towards the end of the gang wars they put Owen with the nation hoping he would fizzle out under the shadow of the rising Rock...it was just something for Owen to do since Vince felt he would look like a even bigger asshole if he fired Owen after what happened with Bret.

Fun fact: When Don Callis got signed to WWE he’d been teaming with Rick Martel in Canada as “The Supermodels.” Supposedly Vince wanted to sign them as a tag team with the idea being that Callis would eventually turn on Martel, but Martel turned the offer down because Vince lowballed him and signed with WCW instead.

Don Callis aka the jackal aka Cyrus the virus (ecw) . He was cutting excellent promos it was groundbreaking stuff I loved his jackal character . I heard in a shoot that he had heat backstage because he got over at the expense of the wrestlers he managed not intentionally I think but the guy had charisma no doubt . You should do a feature about him or least the raw episode where he is cutting a promo while descending in a scaffold during a ongoing match great stuff.

Yep! Fans need to stop hating on Vince Russo. Sure, he missed on a few angles. He also hit homeruns as well. The Attitude Era was a good portion of his skits and idea's. Vince should get credit as well. He greenlights the final product, and he overseen far more back in the 90s. The Mr. McMahon character, was the foundation of what was to come throughout the end of the decade into the next. Vince will always be the greatest heel of all time, and his promos were what made you love to have him every Monday night on Raw.

The Rock finally turned heel & officially became The Rock. Chyna & Triple H joined HBK to form DX. Paul Bearer revealed Undertaker's secret. This led to Kane's debut. 1997 wasn't as popular as 1998,1999, or 2000-1. But, it laid the foundation for the AE.

Another awesome upload. I think 1997 was the best year for wrestling, as others have said. It was before the Attitude era really took off and the angles got overly silly, as they did from about mid 98 onwards. By the end of 97 everything in the WWF seemed red hot. You could tell they were pulling out all the stops trying to get back on top of WCW. The company changed so much throughout 97. From the beginning to end of the year I didn’t mind the gang wars too much, it was far from the most interesting angle of WWF in 97. Keeping the mid card busy and I think it was a way to try and counter what WCW was doing with the NWO VS WCW, which was like a gang war. However at the same time not making it the focal point of the company. I remember it quite clearly Farooq firing Crush and Savio to build “a bigger, blacker nation” and Crush and Savio starting their own “gang”. This would also go on to help The Rock immensely and the nation is what helped his career take off. Also I think the biker gimmicks of DOA was a predecessor to “Biker Taker”.

At 17:55 you mention that Sniper and Recon formed a tag team that basically dissapeared as soon as they were created. I have a memory of seeing a tag team from years ago right towards the end of the Gang Wars on Shotgun Saturday Night and for years I havent been able to find them online or anywhere else. The mystery has been solved, they were called "Armageddon" thanks to this video. A match and likely just about the only one they ever had under this moniker is on DailyMotion. It can be found by searching quebecers vs. armageddon. Thanks Wrestling Bios for helping me solve that long time memory.

I think gang wars was just another 1 of those things that started off good & had so much potential but in the end wwe let fans down just like the invasion angle. Now I know war games was a wcw thing but I think wwe could've came up with a similar match just change a few things & call it a different name kinda how tna copied MITB with their fight or fired match or more recently and obvious is the aew blood & guts being a war games rip off. Anyways they couldve done that even call it a gang wars match. 4 vs 4 vs 4 Los Boricuas vs DOA vs Nation vs Truth commission. The difference being that unlike war games where 1st team to get a pin or submission & no falls until all guys are in they couldve done a last man/team standing & falls count rt from the beginning that way the rings don't get too full. Basically a war games & elimination chamber hybrid start of with 4 guys 1 from each team then interval entrances with eliminations here & there of the weaker guys like truth commission except Kerrigan & los boricuas except savio & they could even have only crush survive for DOA Have team up vs the nation since none of them got eliminated then they each imitate 1 memember leaving the 4 leaders til the end

Seeing the small little clip of the Oddities debut (with the Howard Stern people) reminds me of how, for a crappy gimmick and stable, the Oddities were big time over with the crowd. It makes me interested and excited for the possibility of a Wrestling Bios video on the Oddities.

Going back to watching Raw and WWF shows between late 96 and 97 makes me love just how much vince was willing to try anything and everything even if he didn't like it to see if it would work. I'd say it's all down to Vince getting complacent but a lot has to be down to the fact that so much probably isn't allowed on TV anymore and all the investors probably have some kind of guidelines as to what they will and wont accept. Creative freedom not just in wrestling but in tv as a whole is getting suffocated.

I absolutely love your content! So well researched and presented in an entertaining way. I think WWF 1997 in and of itself would be a really interesting case study. If you watch a show from the beginning of that year, it’s unrecognizable as compared to a show from Dec ‘97. So much changed from both a presentation & talent perspective

The Raw episode where Ahmed turned on Taker was the only episode of Raw I had missed since it started in 1993. I was 12 years old and on vacation at my great aunts house in Florida and she didn’t have cable. This would remain the only episode I missed of Raw up until about 2002.

Another great review by WB!! I always share your videos on my Facebook page, as many of us are HUGE wrestling fans - especially since one of them hasn't watched wrestling or WWE since 1995. Your videos make a great recap of much of the things he's missed since then - so a big THANK YOU from me on that one. PS: That opening and closing theme is absolutely amazing - did you mix it yourself? NOD + Martika (1988)! Good job!
