Reliving The War takes an in-depth look at the WWF vs WCW Monday Night War. Each and every episode of WWF Raw is War and WCW Monday Nitro gets compared on a weekly basis to find out which show was truly the best.
The World Wrestling Federation are days away from Over The Edge: In Your House. Stone Cold Steve Austin has a surprise for Vince McMahon that leaves the Chairman embarrassed, but Austin's actions could have dire consequences. D-Generation X continue to cause WCW problems when Triple H flies a plane over Monday Nitro, and Marc Mero gives Sable an oppurtunity to get out of her contract.
On WCW Nitro the Wolfpac get a new member and it's a guy who's represented WCW since the debut of the New World Order. The Red and Black nWo want Sting to join the group, and "The Icon" gets offered a Wolfpac shirt towards the end of the show. Elsewhere on Nitro; Bret Hart stirs the pot between Savage and Piper, and Chris Jericho says he's a victim of a massive conspiracy.

Not even a minute in and we get two Bret Hart "Shut Ups!" This series is definitely the best part of Thursdays.

This comment definitely has the Jam.

When I saw the DX doing their schtick at Raw XXX I couldn't help but think of the WrestlingBios clip of Brett Hart's "Shuddup" response to it

"Shut up"

[@justinwalker5742]

The recurring jokes and callbacks might be the most rewarding part of this whole series. Amazing.

Most surprising thing about this series is that Goldberg's "STREAK" Is actually very close to his actual WCW record!

[@19ninetynine]

This is true

[@benespinosa6725]

Chris Jericho's Conspiracy Victim Gimmick was awesome and absolutely hilarious and Stone Cold Steve Austin pouring beer on Vince McMahon while he was handcuffed was great this is an amazing episode of Reliving the war.

[@zepherscotty]

Just realized the incredible title situation WWF had at this time. Austin was world champion. Rock was Intercontinental champion. TRI was European champion. New Age Outlaws were tag team champions. TAKA was Light-Heavyweight champion. This was truly like looking at an all star cast of champions. Kinda insane.

[@paradox42x]

I was in Evanville for that show - I've been waiting for you to get to this one. For those in attendance, we will remember Sting DID in fact join the wolfpac. He put the shirt on and the crowd went crazy but due to the fact WCW didn't time everything right - the show went off to early. When I watched the next Nitro - it broke the illusion a bit as they acted like it never happened.

[@WrestlingBios]

That's pretty awesome! I've often wondered what happened after a lot of Nitros went off the air, and most of the time it's always concerning Sting in some way.

[@alexhardesty1269]

I was there too!!! I remember Sting on the turnbuckle in the glorious Black & Red doing the Stinger Scream! A great night.

[@Vladraac]

I've been to Robert Stadium a few times for Pantera, White Zombie, Megadeth, and Metallica shows. Great memories there!

Another Thursday complete. I can't believe we are in year #3 of relieving the wars. This was one of my favorite nitros of all time. The stuff with the cruiser weights was excellent

[@jimbo_1312]

If not for the wcw cruiserweight division I probably wouldn't have bothered with Nitro at all tbh.

[@WickedFireBird69]

Wow. It's so surreal watching Droz's debut knowing what's about to happen to him in a few months' time. It's stuff like that that makes reliving the war the best wrestling show on the net!

Welcome to Thursday Afternoon Jericho (aka Reliving the War). Thanks again for the best wrestling program on the internet.

[@darrell419]

The opening song is more addictive than coffee.

[@JamesR1986]

One of my favorite things about this series is how it recontextualized my memories of the era. Take Raven, I distinctly remember some skits where Raven gives Kanyon a tour of his upper class home and thinking it ruined his character. But as this series has demonstrated, that part of Raven's character was always there. Raven was always a stuck up child of privilege, he was always Johnny Polo/Scotty Flamingo, he was always a poser. That part of his character was explicitedly always there, even going back to ECW.

[@rainydayman2k]

1:14 That's just a hilarious expression on Lex's face right there.

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

That was probably the same expression he had when he was informed by Vince McMahon on what the outcome of his Summer Slam 1993 main event match with Yokozuna was going to be... 😏

Stone Cold having Vince arrested was hilarious.

this is def the best thing that happens on Thursday also can't wait for the over the edge PPV video i remember really enjoying it back in the day

[@savage751]

Also love the sign on the hard cam that says "hogan you've got problems"

[@GeoGuy388]

26:20 Dean was just showing how honorable he was by punishing Lenny for not returning Chris Jericho's Loverboy tape. Dean might hate Jericho, but he's an upstanding citizen and won't sit back and tolerate Lenny's thievery, even if he doesn't care for Chris Jericho. That's how much integrity he has.

[@troyf.9050]

Even though it wasn't played, you can hear the pop Stone Cold got when he came down that ramp!

[@Venemofthe888]

Vince McMahon saying his name should absolve him of his crimes is a timely comment in the state we are now

[@demoniclily1892]

It’s a tragedy what happens to Droz.

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

It just goes to show that 1999 had some DARK GLOOMY moments on the horizon: Rick Rude dies. Owen Hart dies in a stunt gone wrong. Gorilla Monsoon dies. D'Lo Brown accidentally paralyzes Droz...

[@drenkrod9811]

The first Raw and Nitro I was alive for!

[@TONYGILLEY]

With the debut of Johnny Attitude, I couldn't help but remember a bit from a segment in OSW's Warrior's WCW run, where V1 mentioned two of Goldberg's opponents on TV before a PPV (one he wasn't even at to pay-off the angle Chris Jericho) Johnny Bald-MAN and Johnny Long-Haired-Man.
