Raw vs Nitro "Reliving The War": Episode 207 - October 25th 1999

[@camschuster5947]

In the Macho Man biography on A&E Gorgeous George said her and Randy were higher than kites on that promo.

[@KingKain-47]

This Nitro has a special place in my heart… it’s the very first wrestling show I ever watched.

[@SelfHatingLionsFan]

My condolences

Done with his Horseman business, the man returns to bless us with another great episode... hope you enjoyed your time off but we're all glad you're back!

[@brokencigarette3017]

I was the prime age for the Attitude era, being 13 in 1999. You HAD to watch Raw or Nitro on Monday night. It was mandatory schoolyard discussion back then, lol. I remember flipping back and forth between Raw or Nitro depending on the segment, or commercial break. Great memories.

[@labbaby189]

I had to be out of the living room by 10 and I didn't have cable in my room nor internet in the house. Imagine waiting 10+ hours to find out what happened at the end of RAW.

[@aegaeon117]

I was 14 in '99 but started watching Raw before Kane debuted. Truly a fantastic time to be young.

Boss Man straight-up murdered Big Show's dad. That's it. Most evil heel ever.

[@l0pezj]

i cant get the words "Biker Michael Liker" out of my head!

[@meteornome2556]

The Friendly Tap Bar is the same bar that featured in the game WWF No Mercy when you go backstage.

[@musc1esman]

TOO COOL IS HERE BABY! Also we are getting closer to Big Show riding on his dad’s casket as that prick Big Bossman interupts the funeral and drags the casket away behind a car. 😂

[@zachsmith1634]

Bossman being the #1 heel of all of 1999

[@fangjokerLS]

Doctor Wily did not villain in his entire career as hard as Bossman heeled in 1999

[@nickblack423]

He was really soooo good during his return in this role. Excellent heel, really despised him, and Ray was such an excellent worker as well

[@TheArthasmenethril]

What being killed by the Undertaker does to people.

[@TheRealAhoy]

Triple H: I want to be the biggest heel in the company BossMan: *Hold my nightstick*

[@TheLandofObscusion]

@@nickblack423 And, best of all, is that Ray himself is often cited as essentially being a saint in real life, as he was generally considered one of the nicest & friendliest guys in the entire industry.

[@RoyStorey]

According to Madusa, a week after this she went to another show and Meng saw her backstage and showed a huge bruise on his stomach he still had from one of her hits the previous week, I think from one of the kicks. He was laughing and said he'd been showing it off to the other guys

[@kbhalacy]

That scream by melenko reminds me of the Wilhelm scream from various movies Yeah that was Tim White's bar

[@camschuster5947]

Tony’s face at 16:54 sums up WCW perfectly at this time…😂

[@GeekGameCulture]

Kind of like his usual face in AEW now. Which should tell you some things about the issues there right now.

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

And it's only going to get worse

[@SonnyO]

The Friendly Tap stuff is true. I spoke to Tim White once about it, and they’re echoed by Ron, John, and Bruce Prichard in interviews/podcasts. He would direct the APA to break stuff he wanted a fresh replacement of because he knew he’d get reimbursed lol. A Providence staple of the Attitude Era.

[@AMFL3116]

First time seeing it and I’m just in absolute shock. Like every week this man is just harassing big show more n more and now I don’t even remember why. I know it gets way way worse but in kayfabe Bossman admitted to pulling the plug on his father. Like wtf was boss man’s problem.

[@RickBerman-iv2il]

People claim McMahon reigned in Russo’s crazy ideas - and when Russo left we got the craziest stuff yet in WWF, the Bossman angle, the women’s championship, Richard’s in drag - I think history has been rewritten.

[@djangofett4879]

Tommy blacha was one of the writers in 1999. he is co-creator of metalocalypse.

[@DaleEarnshark3]

I think the entirety of 1999 so far has debunked the McMahon filter myth.

[@TheRealAhoy]

You guys talk like transitioning isn't a thing that exists lol. What we're seeing is a bunch of Russo's old pitches still coming in to play because they were in the plans before he left, it's like current wwe under Hunter, McMahon left a huge chunk of creative equity and what we're seeing now is stuff Vkm already put in motion, just like Russo here though, his ideas are being tweaked by somebody else. Until the diamond has been distilled completely, we won't see the new people's ideas be more prevalent.

"The only way it would make any type of sense is to hit reset on the entire company" Sounds like they were planning WCW Big Bang in advance here.

[@gabepollock1641]

The Big Bang was supposed to come much later when WCW was sold off to Fusient Media, the company owned by Bischoff and Jason Hervey. There’s an old WCW Magazine scan circulating online with a May 2001 PPV date, because they were going to briefly stop airing Nitro before coming back to doing TV and PPV. Then AOL/Time Warner yanked the tv slot on TNT and Fusient had to scrap their bid, and the rest is history.
