Episode 2 of the brand new Wrestling Bios series "Reliving The War".
In this series, we will look at a time when wrestling was at peak popularity. While the WWE may not be attracting the same audiences as previous years, Vince McMahon and Eric Bischoff once produced wrestling shows that both aired on Monday Nights that were incredibly popular with high viewership, WWF Raw on the USA Network and WCW Nitro on TNT. Nitro was created to specifically compete with the WWF's Raw show, and so, two of wrestling's most prolific companies went head to head in a time period known as "The Monday Night Wars". This series by Wrestling Bios takes a look at each episode of Raw and Nitro and compares the shows.
This episode takes a look at what Nitro and Raw presented on the week September 18th 1995. This Nitro show was one night removed from Fall Brawl 1995 while the WWF were about to broadcast In Your House 3 live on pay per view this same week. Nitro featured stars such as Ric Flair, Harlem Heat and Macho Man Randy Savage while the WWF gave us Owen Hart, Yokozuna and Razor Ramon.
Topics and matches covered in this video include:
01:51 - The WCW Fall Brawl 1995 Results
04:39 - Razor Ramon vs 1-2-3 Kid
08:29 - Johnny B. Badd vs Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff
13:33 - The Giant destroys Hulk Hogan's Motorcycle
15:28 - Owen Hart and Yokozuna defend the WWF Tag Team Championships

The amount of time this man takes into his videos, it’s pretty insane it’s also quite entertaining to watch too

I don't know of a more dedicated channel putting out top quality entertainment.

[@delljr2769]

WWF sucked in '94 and '95 and they got smoked when Hall and Nash showed up on Nitro summer of '96.

[@Bossman525]

@@delljr2769 The whole industry had seen better days. But those years are still better than anything WWE has put out from 2009 onwards. 1995 was still great for the prominence of ECW.

[@Kobe24brady12]

@@Bossman525 1995 was one of worst years ever for WRESTLING not just wwe WCW sucked too, ECW was still hard to find. come on 2009 wasn't great but it was better then 1995

[@JUnior-ot1xu]

Being born in 2001 I’ve basically only been able to see wrestling go down so this is nice to get quick recaps of each match/segment from possibly the best era or wrestling

[@PreacherTHC]

Yeah unfortunately you were not born during the greatest era of wrestling possibly ever late 80s early 90s I do find that regretful but there is always wrestling bios

[@deadliestassassin3092]

Yep, definitely growing up in the 80's and watching the Hulkamania era go wild and then Bret Hart and the New Generation era and finally the Attitude era was really awesome to see. I grew up with all that while wrestling also did with the more gimmicky stuff into the more attitude of the late 90's-early 2000's. I stopped watching regularly when WWF purchased WCW and ECW and the end of the Alliance in 2001. It kinda just went downhill for me as the attitude era wrestlers were exiting as well as the WCW and ECW wrestlers. I continued watching Wrestlemania until Undertaker lost to Lesnar. After that i just pretty much gave up caring for WWE.

[@Christof_The_Great17]

You are a hella smart wrestling fan

[@thejoethe]

get the network dude! Binge for a month then cancel it. You'll see everything from the attitude era and the Ruthless Aggression era.

[@MoeyViews]

Jaden Lewis you missed out the best era in wrestling 💯

[@jamescourt5201]

The first episode of Nitro Bobby Heenan called it Monday Night Row. I'll never forget that.

[@drewagoosa68]

if this becomes a full blown series, it'll instantly be the best thing on youtube

[@watchmy666]

I'm going to make it a weekly habit to watch the two shows with this series to compliment

[@briwanderz]

you should also keep a point tally of your opinions... at least for the shows themselves. do you agree with the score so far of 2 - 1?

[@briwanderz]

@Wilfred "I Tapped Dat Ass" Kensington i thought about it, but i know i am way to bias, i probably would give wcw the win 96% of the time... i always watched wcw, but would record raw and fast forward thru a good chunk of it half the time. until around 2000, anyway. then i was fast forwarding both shows.

[@herpderp7264]

Same thing except im watching the ECW shows too and the PPVs each month. I started watching wrestling early 1997 so I missed all this pre attitude stuff.

[@The_General_Zubas]

I approve the Title of the Series.

[@epholson97]

was a big professional wrestling fan in the late 80'- early 90's and an even bigger fan from 97-98 until around 6 months after Vince bought WCW, when I stopped watching for good... That's why I felt I had to point out how awesome this channel is. And the Raw vs Nitro videos are just straight up addictive! Much appreciation for all the awesome content you put out.

[@swanyay3304]

The tag team of Owen Hart and Yokozuna is so underrated and was fun to watch as a kid. Although their run lasted around six months, in my opinion they seriously need to be considered for the WWE Hall of Fame as a tag team

[@Charlx6]

Owen Hart's wife will never allow it even as a single character.. Shane really as she's being spiteful towards Owen and the rest of the Hart family.. time Will heal one day

[@hellof_alife]

@@Charlx6 if a company single handedly took my husband, due to a unsafe gimmick; that he didn't want to do, I'd want nothing to do with them either

[@Charlx6]

Yeah but as tragic as it was and bloody hell it was tragic I was up watching it live and I was thinking and hoping it was part of the show. But you can't blame Vince for the accident he could have said no and Vince never designed the contraption it was a outside firm so yes he should be inducted by his brother Bret !!!

I can highly recommend the OSW review episode of WCW Fall Brawl 1995 that was mentioned here

This Monday Night Wars series was a stellar idea!! Great fun to watch and incredibly entertaining to watch. *informative too...as I thought the Renegade 1st appeared when Hogan announced he had an "Ultimte Suprise". I had no clue that he existed prior to that.

The wrestling wars were amazing. I didn’t know how good we had it till they were gone. I miss these days

[@Ferg13]

This was an awesome idea. I know this is older but still a great idea. Brings back a lot of memories in my early early 20’s. I have to admit. I didn’t watch WCW hardly at all. I was WWF/WWE through and through. It wasn’t until around early 97 my uncle got me into the WARS. First we’d watch TSN “Off the Record” Then we’d watch WCW then RAW. That’s where my memory starts with this Monday Night Wars. It felt that WCW Nitro had run a lot longer than 5-6 years. Same with the NWO Faction. Which only lasted a few years. Man made it. Man broke it. Sadly. Hasn’t been the same since VinnyMac bought WCW. That had to be very hard to Ted Turner. To sell to his rivalry and the reason why he started all this. To compete with VinnyMac. For awhile he was on top of the world in Pro Wrestling. Can’t compete with WWE. It’s untouchable. VinnyMac built that business the right way. Even tho he’s a dink. Like I said. Man made it. Man broke it. Started off at beginning. To save these in my wrestling playlist. If you made my playlist. You’ve hit prime time now lol :P
