[@WrestlingBios]

Hope you enjoy this one! The date is wrong at the start but don't let that put you off 😅WWF Royal Rumble 99 & the next episode of Reliving The War are available to view early on Patreon: www.patreon.com/wrestling_bios

I was genuinely confused for a second. 😆

1 mistake in like 5 years, we'll let ya slide Honestly at first I thought it was intentional, like maybe both shows repeated the same opening segment that they did on that day.

[@iamdb1990]

this was my first episode of RTW, went back and watched them all and now back to this one, been great to see

[@EruditeMMA]

It said "Episode 142 July 13th 1998" at the beginning & I thought I was tripping xD

OH HELL YEAH BOYS! LET'S GET IT!!!!!!

[@codex0451]

[@Drager85]

Do I hear Fire Pro music during the second h2h segment (7 min onward) !? Great job, as always WB!

[@robcressey7228]

David Flair vs Eazy E, no doubt, screamed ratings gold.

[@xandersthoughts]

Not-so-interesting fact: this was the first episode of Raw given a TV-14 rating on USA because of THAT segment with Undertaker the week before. They did not like that whole “Mideon drinks Taker’s slit wrists’ blood” thing one bit. Or maybe it was always planned to get a higher rating, either way.

[@FromGototheGo]

well, since the content became more and more adult oriented and let's not forget Triple H and HBK started to play passion of christ every week and on every ppv with gallons of blood squirting out of their skulls I can't really see how they wouldn't make it TV-14 😂

[@WarGhoulKharas]

Yes, Hogan took liberties with David Flair. Scott Norton confirmed it too. He whipped him more than he was supposed to, and harder than he was supposed to. Edit: that Death Penalty Wrath hit on Disco was the best he ever hit. Became my favorite finisher.

[@howardsimcox5596]

That step up head scissors by Juve was insane

[@617xtreme]

I couldn’t help but laugh at that David flair match lmfao you laughing didn’t help 😂😂😂😂

ric flair was single handily carrying the wcw in 1999.

[@iamrobcordray]

I was at this Nitro.

[@TimEatsEverything]

I can't be the only one who was/is annoyed with David Flair's blushed cheeks, right? It made him seem weak, like he was always scared of being on TV.

[@willc6675]

Yo I was at the raw in texas. My first and last live event I was 15. I was the ish when I went back to school. If I’m correct they filmed 2 shows that night

[@zacharythomason7359]

That's awesome ,but but at the same time very sad imo, Just Saying.

why konan didnt become leader of the lwo at that point in story line would have saved it for sure.

[@BUCKEYES2112McQ]

I've been waiting for this one. The first and only WCW Monday Nitro I got to attend.

[@nebulous798]

You saw live the living legend, the weapon that is David Flair? I envy you!

[@TimEatsEverything]

David Flair being pushed was the sign that WCW didn't know what they were doing.

[@toptenguy1]

At least they got it right a bit later in the year,when he was the US champion. And the storyline was clearly BLATANT NEPOTISM, and we were supposed to hate him. That was actually well done. (because we WERE angry. haha)

[@jamiewalsh9184]

Not even that, it shows how much control the likes of flair, hogan etc had back stage. Id say David had barely even trained before that match with Eric

[@juiceweezer]

It's amazing that John Cena had a career after years of elbows from The Nature Boy.

[@g-dub5272]

[@L_Train]

Boooo

[@dexenationgracey1979]

David Flair is living proof that on-the-job training is not always a good thing.

[@thisisnotachannel]

He's also proof that nepotism... while alive and well, doesn't ALWAYS work in ones favor.

[@UndergroundSkat2000]

Also "bring your kid to work" shouldn't apply for professional wrestling, in other words...

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

On the job training is fine, but it's a lot like a subject that you have to study before hand.

[@DasNordlicht91]

His lasting memory will be his WWE titantron where it’s just him posing followed by a disappointed shot of his dad.

[@neptunefalling]

Teddy Long giving Al Snow head in the middle of the ring is something that actually happened in 1999 😅😂

[@ZionKraze]

Next week's episode will be the first time I had watched a WCW show and it's one of my all time favourite episodes.

[@Hyde_Hill]

Interesting. As we will have had almost inverted experiences. With the finger-poke of doom episode being the last one airing in my country this is all "new" to me.

[@redraptor9688]

And this is what I love about the internet

[@HardcoreOreider]

Yeah, i remember a backstage brawl between benoit and bigelow. Didnt find any Matches on the database between the two, but this was the first time i watched wrestling in general... i was instantly hooked, a love for a lifetime... the first time watching raw was the debut of Paul Wight. Stayed up all night as a little kid, because in germany wrestling was on TV very late.

[@GrilliamG]

Coming up on the first WWF show I ever watched, as well 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

​@Hyde_Hill But there were still some good matches and storylinez going on. The finger poke isn't the total end of WCW. It was 1 mistake among many that took WCW down the wrong path. Having the nWo fade away and Hogan return to red & yellow was actually worse.

[@idcwhatuthink4985]

I've been patiently waiting for that cold as ice Steve Blackman intro.... is my boy injured or something? Or saving parallel universes last week?

[@Hyde_Hill]

Would have probably given this one to WCW myself. Just because of the mixing up of stuff. With Ray getting involved in a higher level storyline. Psychosis and Disco wins. Plus finally someone standing up against the NWO at the end. Despite the "match" from hell.

[@benespinosa6725]

The Vince montage kills me every single time. I bit the first time, but caught on after that and it's my new favorite segment...

[@AquamentusLives]

[@suntanironman]

It’s shocking that everybody at WCW saw David Flair wrestle in a tag match at Souled Out and thought: “Hell yeah! Let’s book another David Flair match in less than 24 hours… a singles match this time… against a non-wrestler!” At least at Souled Out David was in the ring with three great wrestlers that had a combined 65 or so years of experience. Those 65 years of experience could only do so much with a very green David at Souled Out, but at least that experience was in the ring with him. But now he’s wrestling… Bischoff???

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

I disagree with this being the all time low of Wrath. I think his match with Kevin Trash in November or December was worse. He dominated and nearly destroyed Big Duffy, but 1 reversal changed the match. Kevin did a few moves and won. The whole thing was a shame to say Nash could stop a winning streak. At least in this match Disco cheated, so it allows Wrath to keep some semblance of kayfabe strength.
