Raw vs Nitro "Reliving The War": Episode 153 - September 28th 1998

[@EnjoySackLunch]

I was waiting for this one. That’s me with the DISCO INFERNO IS MY DAD SIGN. cherished memories

[@Baron_Alexander_Renfield]

How is your dad doing?

[@DJDoubleCee]

It was hilarious as hell seeing Undertaker and Kane break Vince’s ankle with Jim Ross yelling “Oh My God! Oh My God!” 😆😆😆

[@thomasarsenal5465]

I loved the "you love to see it" during the Bulldog match. Very Belfast 🤣👌

[@marcuscicero5033]

Warrior actually handled the fan run in fairly well

[@kbhalacy]

I know, right? Good improv

[@JWS1985]

I know I wouldn't want to be called a disappointment! 😂

[@irighterotica]

He did!

[@heisensaul5538]

A lot can be said about Warrior, but he wasn't wrong what he said to this fan trying to jump in the ring. Also was this guy really gonna try to fight Warrior? I don't think that would have ended well for him if that was the case.

[@brian_b_music]

He did, and he didn’t even mention the sun and moon aligning or any of that😂😂

[@mrsalmon1984]

Mom passed away this week, I am so thankful for your video's brother. Watching this for 40 minutes is a great way to distract myself from the grief ❤️ The Zelda chest got me 😂

[@zlinedavid]

Hang in there, I know it’s rough. Lost my dad last August. WrestlingBios and Jim Cornette were two of my go-to little escapes when I needed to just not think about things for 30 minutes or so. My sympathy to you and your family.

[@makaveli4205]

Mr. socko agrees

[@mikem10481]

The pop when Austin closelined McMahon. It was just a magnificent time to be a wrestling fan.

[@lexkanyima2195]

And Shamrock turn heel 1 week after that

That was easily top 5 greatest moments in the attitude era

As soon as it starts I crack up!

[@RomesThe59]

My favorite part of the series, and it’s a damn good series.

[@aouriel]

Since this series started, I’ve been waiting for this episode. Attending the WCW Monday Night Nitro event in Rochester, New York, marked the first time I attended a wrestling event. I remember getting there with my dad right when the doors opened. Juventud Guerrera was hurdling the seats row by row for some reason, and my dad called out to him. I brought a sign reading “Goldberg + Herman = tag team champs” Good memories and thanks WB for putting this series together.

[@zemox2534]

The Undertaker breaking Vincent's leg was one of the best moments from Raw. And the 3 on 2 handicap match was fun.

[@theEisbergmann]

That laughing Austin, getting escorted out, is one of my favorite Austin moments.

[@GhastlyMovies]

Best "shut up" bit yet. I literally laughed out loud, absolutely fantastic.

[@axelfoley2061]

I absolutely love reliving my youth with these great videos

[@BravePip]

I love every single Road Dogg/Bret Hart "shut up" thing, and this one was the best I actually laughed out loud lol

Welcome to Thursday Afternoon Jericho (aka Reliving the War). The best weekly show on the Internet.

[@linkvagar2336]

The "shut up" just gets better and better🤣

[@Gary-su8sb]

Vinnymac during the attitude era was very underrated! He always sold great and proved that he would do everything he asked talent to do.

[@gabepollock1641]

That’s one thing I can say Vince was good about: he was willing to do anything and everything that he would’ve expected of talent. Even toward the end of his original tenure backstage he held his end of the bargain: it’s how we got that video of Vince in a full suit doing a trust fall before WrestleMania 36 to show Rob Gronkowski it was safe.

[@Gary-su8sb]

@@gabepollock1641 exactly, however I almost didn't put up the comment due to that tragic Owen fall, I'm not sure he did that first, but I'm sure if Owen told Vinny nope! Vinny would have pulled that spot.

I fell and cracked my tailbone this week so it's been a shitty one for me and I'm in a lot of pain, but my day has just brightened considerably, it's crazy we've gone thru 153 of these Wood in the Hood is one of my favorite Hogan promos ever, it's just so wtf... Woodmaster, brother dude Jack!

I love what you have been doing for the longest time. Your content reflects the love you have for pro-wrestling but more so for the hard work, dedication, and creativity that makes it great. Your videos are what I reach for whenever I reflect on Afghanistan and need something to make the pain stop. I’m well but it happens from time to time. Thank you for this amazing channel and thank you all for supporting. Have a nice day!

[@ThunderBunny30]

I was caught up in the first bit of the Wood promo and after listening to the rest of it, I am begging for wood shirts or wood merch. I haven’t feel this way about wood since the golden age of tag teams during the late attitude and ruthless aggression eras. Again have a nice day.

[@ZachlikesMetal]

The zamboni thing was one of the best moments in the attitude era.

[@OldSaltySean1]

The Bret Hart "SHUDDUP" has been my favorite thing to look forward to every video.

[@TheIcemancometh13]

This nitro was actually my first introduction to professional wrestling. I went over to my cousin's house one day and he told me that he had been to a wrestling show. I had no idea what wrestling was so he said here I taped it and handed me a VHS. I remember me being a young 6-year-old pressing the play button and coming across La Parka walking down the aisle with a steel chair in hand. When he hit that corkscrew moonsault my young brain was immediately captivated by what I was watching and I have been a fan ever since. It's also why La Parka is my favorite wrestler of all time

[@heisensaul5538]

When Austin attacked Vince jumping off the Zamboni, I didn't realize that Taker and Kane were in the ring. I laughed really hard when they just stood there and let Vince get beat up by Austin 😆🤣 9:03 is probably my favorite meme to come from this series. Never disappoints lol

[@bryansansone3301]

[@catchcan221]

WCW gave away Bret Hart vs Hulk Hogan on free TV with no buildup. A match that was 5 years in the making, a match that was far more anticipated than Hogan vs Warrior. People wonder why WWF won.

[@benespinosa6725]

Another awesome episode of Reliving the war this Series is amazing to watch every Thursday.

[@TheBlackScatPack]

35:41 I think Taker did a shoot interview about this fairly recently. The Rock was shocked that he was going to get the pin fall over Taker. Taker stated “it’s your night”

If it wasn't for Mick, we wouldn't have the rock or HHH.

[@anxofernandez3344]

We're approaching the worst of WCW pre-Russo. The Ultimate Warrior fiasco, the end of Goldberg's streak and the finger poke of doom. WCW tried hiring Russo to recover from that and he made everything much worse. I think Bischoff booked himself into a corner and he gave too much power to some people and he didn't know how to get out of the hole he'd digged. Vince McMahon had found his groove with Stone Cold, the Rock, DX, Undertaker, Kane and Mankind and later on the addition of the Dudleys, Kurt Angle, Trish Stratus, Lita and the Radicalz. He found the Acolytes kinda randomly and he "discovered" the Hardys, Edge & Christian and by late 99 and early 2000 WCW might as well have surrendered.

[@troywright359]

FPoD was botched, it should have worked well. Ultimate Warrior still got buys and was interesting to fans, just handled badly. Godlbergs streak had to end at some point. I think things like this Bret/Hogan match, Hogan running for president and the dissolution of NWO Elite...these are more easily blamable things.

[@popmonika]

​@@troywright359from what I know they never had any plans for the warrior apart from Hogan gets his win back.

[@khbrown8963]

Owen's piledrivers have made me reevaluate him as a wrestler

[@1987Liono]

Owen should have stopped doing them. Focus on submission holds instead.

[@theartistformerlyknownasbu9252]

He should have stuck with the frog splash from the rafters.

[@maxxpower3d6]

If we didn't lose him when we did, his piledrivers on Austin in '97 and Severn right here would have been more of a big deal. Best-case scenario is that they become an old shame that he'd eventually fix, and make amends with the guys involved.

[@wonder-games3579]

Umm guys, Owen's piledriver injuring Severen is part of a storyline in this case. It isn't like Austin's case a year prior.

[@CarlB23]

​@@theartistformerlyknownasbu9252 damn that's cold

I don't think it was mentioned in the episode, but this is the last we see of The Godwinns / Southern Justice as a regularly-appearing tag team on RTW. Mark Canterbury sustained a vertibrae injury that required spinal surgery, and he ended up retiring from WWF. These two made one last WWF appearance during a dark match against the Dupp Brothers in September 2000, and much later re-appeared in GLCW as the Texas Hangmen in 2011.

[@nickblack423]

I distinctly remember watching this episode of Raw live (or at least as live as we got here in the UK, which was on Friday night after it had aired in the US) and it was amazing. I also remember seeing a documentary where someone from WWF recalled a member of staff at the arena stating that they had never heard a noise like the crowd ever before when Austin came out on that Zamboni. Amazing!
