Not every episode of Raw or Nitro is always good but every episode of Wrestling Bios Reliving the War is. Part of me wishes that WCW would have stuck around a little longer, if only selfishly so that there could be even more episodes of RTW. Then again with still 3 full years left, give or take 150+ episodes, there's definitely plenty left in this series. I think even with 310k subs (and counting) that this channel is still criminally underrated. Anyone who watched wrestling during this period, regardless of whether you liked the product or not should be subscribed to this channel. This is not only a huge nostalgic trip but an engaging and very often humorous experience, week after week. I look forward to reliving 1998 even if it was..almost 25 years ago now!

Mine too. I know “the attitude era”. 98 and 2000 especially, get the credit for being “the best years in wrestling history”. However for me 97 was better. It felt a lot more edgier and fresh, the product has also aged better. The booking during 97 was leagues better than the majority of the attitude era. Although the attitude era was good. It’s looked back on with “rose tinted glasses” by most fans. An age where everything was golden and no mistakes were made. It will be interesting to say the least, to live it all again through this channel. It will be also interesting to relive the decline of WCW. Theres no coming back from the booking botch job which happened at Starrcade. 98 is the year in which Raw will start to leave Nitro for dust.
