WCW Clash of the Champions 35 - The "Reliving The War" Review

[@markshepherd9153]

The greatest part of Reliving The War is acknowledgment of the unsung heros like Alex Wright. Please dont forget Huvee later on🙏

[@davidjackson241]

This show has made me remember how much I loved to hate Alex Wright back in the day. And now with this Saturday Wright Fever and his dad in the WWF things it's making me a fan of his again.

[@PJErvin]

Wright may be unsung, but he’s definitely not un-danced. I’ll regret this comment in the morning.

[@jameshill3403]

Alex was absolutely criminally underrated long live das wunderkind!!!!

[@sleepyseahorsetv]

What about Hypnosis? Huh? Psychosis/Hypnosis, the guy's a consummate professional, he should be getting US Title shots...

[@jpfischer6003]

That Sting promo might be the best promo ever produced. It had everything it needed to in the shortest amount of time.

[@timtomakin]

I looked up Mark Curtis and had no idea he passed away all the way back in 1999. I love rewatching his amazing referee skills. He was just as entertaining as the wrestlers he ref'd.

[@swfcocs1]

If you read Mick Foleys autobiography there's a lot written about Curtis, apparently he was a very talented wrestler as well, if I remember correctly he also worked for Cornette at Smokey Mountain wrestling and was a universally liked guy

[@timtomakin]

@@swfcocs1 that's good to know. He obviously loved his job!

I was always a fan of Alex. Whenever I was watching Nitro, & he would come out, I'd start imitating his dance, lmao!!

[@mcj88]

The Dinner & A Movie stuff made me oddly nostalgic for when TBS still aired up here in Canada, 'cause I remembered seeing those segments a fair amount; I think I even taped the D&AM _Blues Brothers_ broadcast on VHS. When the channel split up into the national TBS Superstation and the more local, Atlanta-themed Peachtree TV in the late-00s, for some reason all of Canada's cable providers kept Peachtree and ditched TBS. Honestly, I still miss it.

[@ironicstatement]

And their song was so catchy..."Beans and cornbread"

[@raymorocks]

I had a few movies recorded on VHS that had Dinner and a movie, including the Blues Brothers

If you watched any Turner-owned network at the time, you eventually found out about it.

[@northleedspoppa]

It was on UK gold (the grandmas channel of choice ) over here

[@Smokey1419]

I was HEAVY into WCW by this time, and i had this event recorded. I watched it constantly, and so many moments of this show still live with me. Mongo winning the US title, Jericho vs Guerrero, Diamond Cutter on the floor, and of course that ending, it will always haunt me in the best way possible

[@martynodonnell8467]

How has reliving the war effected your views on WCW and Nitro, watching it all back now on this channel? I too was a huge WCW fan growing up. However didn’t get into WCW until 98. I watched back in later years. At the time I thought they were awesome. However now, looking back, my views have changed a lot. I feel for the most part, it was the same show week in week out. With Hogan and the NWO, which was stale by late 96, early 97. It was still Hogan on top. Like he’d always been, only with the roles reversed. WWF were the better product most weeks and a lot of weeks by far. This is being reflected in the week by week scoring on reliving the war. Where at a time where WCW were winning in the ratings WWF are getting a lot of points. It will be interesting to find out if WWF starts running away with things as time goes on, especially into 98/99.

[@FrostyBalls01]

That’s all I ever watched growing up was WCW. Back in the day when downloading stuff was the norm I downloaded all the WCW stuff I could find and made dvd. I have every nitro thunder and pvv the WCW put on since the 80’s. Smartest thing I ever did.

[@wulver810]

@@martynodonnell8467 I only started getting into WWF around early '99. I feel that Reliving the War really waters down how hot WCW was back then because of Hogan and nWo run-in DQs. As you will notice, a DQ on WCW by nWo RUINS a match, while a DQ in WWF really doesn't impact it as much... Goldberg will put together piss poor matches if we keep to this trend of lacking emotional impact. Just watched it to the end... notice how he didn't even like the main event and talks about how it was a basic match? DDP stunned Luger... when has that happened in a previous match? That is a nice twist, but it goes basically ignored... "wuaaah just a basic nitro match". This was a solid PPV and I rated it higher than Summer Slam.

[@martynodonnell8467]

@@wulver810 everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Reliving The War is simply the opinion of wrestling bios. I think with the NWO run ins. The problem was it was happening on too many weeks, which meant the main event matches rarely had a winner. The NWO run ins got stale quickly. Also the problem was Hogan was still on top, in the same spot he’d always been, only as a heel. Which again got stale quickly. I think the main point with the main event of this show was it could have happened any week on Nitro. It wasn’t a memorable match. On a side note it was a “super show” however the champion, Hogan, was nowhere to be seen. Compare this Clash of The Champions to Summerslam. Which opened up with a solid cage match between Foley and HHH, which helped progress both mens careers and the main event. In which HBK turned heel and started to move into his DX persona as well as Bret Hart winning the belt, for his final time. Summerslam was a landmark PPV, doing much to progress storylines and careers. Clash Of Champions was very forgettable and throw away. The semi main event being a non wrestling related event in “dinner and date” on a wrestling show.

[@nexus6163]

To really appreciate it you have to have late 80s wrestling fresh in your mind and see diesel razor and 123 work watch 80s hogan Kurt Hennig macho man. And just think how excited you would be and how surprised you’d be to see them over here with wcw. Wwf was getting stale. B4 attitude era wcw was the business with attitude

[@ReetinEntertainment]

Eddie just standing there and laughing at Jericho shows why Eddie was one of the best wrestlers.

[@dtcarpediem]

Exactly if someone botched a move more often than not you’d see the other wrestler look like a deer in headlights. The fact Eddie stayed in heel form to take the attention off of Jericho’s botch and put it on him as a heel shows his veteran mindset. Also as friends I’m sure Eddie had a genuine laugh at Chris’s expense too lol.

[@MarcoBeSomething]

@@dtcarpediem honestly that’s a good point, when wrestlers try to rush over the boutch it becomes more noticeable. Guerrero stopping and laughing makes it look intentional.

[@dtcarpediem]

@@MarcoBeSomething truth 👊🏾

[@PBMdanya]

I feel like all the following comments did a better job explaining what Eddie did, saying Eddie is just standing there laughing doesn't show anything without context q

[@denniswilliams6519]

Dinner & Movie always felt like it tried to capture the energy of Joe Bob Briggs & TNT's MonsterVision. Guys riffing and playing off a movie that was playing on the network, but these two lacked Joe's charisma and actual love of the films being featured to make it work and the pair felt like they distracted from the movie playing more than anything else.

[@maxxdahl6062]

Yeah it could have worked if they had some actual film buffs do the show.

[@1983jcheat]

It was OK.

[@Makoto03]

i loved Dinner and a movie as a kid. But i hadn't watched the other shows you mentioned. The crossovers with WCW got me into watching it though.

It might seem like I’m joking, but the names they had were even better…….“The Dancing Fools”, “The Boogie Knights” & “The Dancing Idiots” 😂😂😂😂.

Imagine how much better the nWo story would have been if it ended at Starrcade 97? The build the to Hogan finally losing the belt. Hell even having the nWo split happen right away. Then the two versions destroy each other. WCW might just have kept up with WWE if they did that.

[@NEMtvOfficial]

statisticlly, NWO was a big ratings draw for 98...Hogan, Hall and Nash were over....so wouldnt make sense to end at Starrcade 97...they just needed to book it better, like build heat and have Austin/Rock type characters take them down (DDP, Booker T, Goldberg, Sting, etc..)....if Goldberg didnt get hurt, he was gonna be the first to take down the united NWO/Wolfpac and the Finger Poke of Doom wouldve made sense

"That doesn't work for me, brother." That's all that needs to be said...

WCW never knew how to book a wrestling show. That was their main issue. They got lucky with a few good ideas, Nitro, The Outsiders, NWO and Hogans heel turn, which worked for a while. Got them attention and that was about it. If WCW had the same level as booking as WWF had. With the card WCW had, they would have ran away with “the war”.

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

@@martynodonnell8467 There were people who knew how to book a good show. But they also had to manage egos and a lot of backstage politics. Sometimes, you could be on someone's hit list just for being too good at your job. (See: all the attempts to sabotage Flair, and not just in the ring, either.)

[@martynodonnell8467]

@@juststatedtheobvious9633 that in itself in a sense is poor booking. As it was due to contract stipulations, such as creative claus and guaranteed money. Which made it very difficult to book these wrestlers, with these huge egos, in anything which wasn’t favourable to themselves. That aside. This whole “Clash of The Champions” show was very poorly booked. It was, a “super show”. Hogan was champion, he should at least been on the show. The matches were all meaningless and rushed and the main attraction seemed to be the “dinner and a movie”. Just very poorly put together and booked. Compare this to say a WWF In Your House show, from this time.

Dinner and a Movie was HUGE on TBS here in the states. They made, for the most part, recipes based off the movie of the night in some silly title. The one I remember the most was when they played Ferris Bueller's Day Off called "I can't come to school today, I Falafel." That one made me laugh the most.

[@jamesabernethy7896]

I keep saying that I save these videos as workout videos, I'm much further on with 'Reliving the War' and catch the occasional biography. I recently watched your Chyna video from 6 months ago. As I also keep saying there are bigger wrestling fans than me and they will know so much about behind the scenes. From a sort of outside perspective... Chyna's appearance in the WWE is sometimes portrayed more as a 'gimmick' than a 'talent'. Your video really made me change my mind about that perspective. Great work as always.

So a little info on Dinner and a Movie. The premise was to air a movie and have intermittent breaks which would showcase chefs cooking meals inspired by the movie being aired. Of course, since it was TBS, nearly all of the movies were at least 10 years old at the time because of Turner's purchase of older films. So that's basically.

Dinner and a Movie was huge for TBS. Not widely cultural by any means but at that time they got movies you couldn't find outside Blockbuster or the premium movie packages. Blues Brothers, Tremors, The Burbs... Great movies!

i remember watching this live for what it was it was a solid “Free” HQ event seeing the WCW version of Raven after seeing him in ECW was night & day to some extent due to the bookers at WCW not fully understanding how to use Raven the proper way. its amazing there was no law suit against WCW/ Sting they blatantly ripped off every aspect of the Crow (Even his “Crow” Sting debut was lifted from the opening of the Crow) Dinner & a Movie was somewhat hit it ran for years on TBS one stand out episode they did was a one-off episode using all Chimps to act in bits from major hits of 1997 actually really silly stuff like As Good as it Gets, Boogie Nights, Titanic, etc.

I remember Dinner & a Movie. Don't think I ever watched it, but I remember such a thing existing.

So happy I got to do an extra Thursday night Saturday Wright Fever dance on a Sunday night this week. It warmed me up nicely for Wrestlemania night 2.
