Raw vs Nitro "Reliving The War": Episode 147 - August 17th 1998

[@WrestlingBios]

Hey everyone. Unfortunately The Warrior portion of the video was claimed by WWE and I had to cut parts out. I've made the Patreon version free to view. Link in the description.

Just an FYI. You could make 2hr videos and no one would be mad. Just saying. UwU

It’s shocking how coherent it is when it’s only 3 minutes and not 15

@@jbanks979 yeah I remember watching this when it aired and being all excited for the warriors return Then after I was going wtf was that

[@mikeberg6407]

"Don't get put off when looking at the timer" Mr Bios why would we be disappointed by more content!

[@charlesbreden8117]

I was excited when I noticed it was a longer video

[@joshthesandwich]

I'll take em even longer tbh

[@toptenguy1]

It just means the potential for MORE chinlocks and nerve pinches!!

[@dustinmichel7608]

More Mutha Fuggin.

[@tyrone5969]

That’s literally what I said to myself when I heard him say that. “I’d never get mad about more content from him.”

[@BrolyChan]

You know one thing about the Brawl for All that never gets brought up was how impressive Droz's performance was in the whole thing. Spitting out his own mouth guard after Hawk's kept falling out, an amazing slugfest with Savio with both showing some sportsmanship in the end and coming up short against Bradshaw who played dirty to get to that spot. Guy was a tough as they come, it's a real shame what happens to him in the end.

[@Brando-Lee3725]

Totally ! Dude , I feel ya . I think Droz had TONS of potential to be a huge star . He was still only a few years in . And 100 . That mouth guard deal showed me a lot about his character .

[@calvinfolan1736]

It's crazy to see Eddie's evolution on the mic from this promo. As much of a landmark as this promo is, it's clear that EG wasn't fully comfortable on the microphone yet. But, it's such a contrast from the spitfire personality he'd become a few years later that it's definitely worth noting.

[@TheDeFiler316]

I was going to say the exact same thing.

[@press_x_tojason]

He comes into his own once he pairs up with Chyna. But this is definitely the first time where he starts really showing development on the mic. Turns out that giving a character a point to what they are doing, instead of just perpetually fighting over an under-booked lower card belt, means the wrestler can actually start flexing their skills.

[@petertr2000]

Well put. Yeah, there's a strange mixture of getting a great message over, but at the same time the delivery was quite poor if we're being honest. But there's only one way to get better - practice. And boy did he get it right in the end.

[@tyrone5969]

No doubt. Don’t recall the PPV, but the first promo he did with WCW was absolutely dreadful. Zero charisma, energy, personality or character. He looked so incredibly uncomfortable and awkward. Then he started developing his “Lie, Cheat, Steal” personality as he was in his domineering phase over Chavo. Then he got here where he took a turning point with his promos. As someone else said, when he was “Latino Heat” with Chyna he learned to combine it. Not too long after that he brought it all together, refined it and became one of the single greatest performers in the history of professional wrestling. That overlap of character, mic work, ring skills, athleticism and charisma was out of this world. There’s others who may have excelled more in one category or the other, but I’d argue that the only other performer who was as well rounded as Eddie Guerrero was Kurt Angle. That combination of being top-5 of your generation in all of those categories puts you in a class of your own and only comes around when we’re lucky. The fact that we got to see the two of them have an AMAZING program and feud shows how incredible the Smackdown Six really was. Sorry for the tangent beyond the OP. But yes, the evolution of his character work was truly amazing and such a joy to watch.

[@DudeMcGuybro]

"Don't be put off by the time" My guy, these could be 2 hour episodes and I'd be locked in the whole way.

[@patrickwanzer1678]

Had a special moment last night while watching Dynamite last night. Arn was discussing things the Horsemen used to get into and at the same time, my girlfriend and I both said, "Ah...yes...Horsemen business". You sir, are part of our vernacular now!

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

Eddie made that promo seem real. Damn, it just shows how much of a star Eddie was.

[@staceymango6804]

It was rubbish. Eddie couldn't talk. Kept repeating himself, stumbling over his words. Garbage

One of many in Eddie's career. He didn't get one until 2003-04 with the WWE Title run.

[@michaelkeller5927]

Top 5 worst promos of all time lol

[@crowfather0249]

​@@michaelkeller5927Top 5 worst opinions of all time.

[@TheDarkVampire666]

Eddie said he didn’t like the ending as he thought saying “Shove it up your you know what” sounded stupid and obviously fake as it kept within the rules he wanted to say “Shove it up your ass” but as it was a PG show absolutely no swearing was allowed. His point was if he was supposed to be actually trying to get fired and make people think they were seeing a legit shoot why would he care about the rules

[@michaelaburns734]

@@TheDarkVampire666 That's the sad thing about WCW most of the time. They didn't want scarlet shed on TNT/TBS during the Monday Night Wars. The Starrcade with Dusty shedding blood (NWA) garnered a TV MA rating for THAT and stopped the match. I would love Eddie being able to push it more but Turner wouldn't let him do that.

[@TheHaggard82]

Good Lord I am not high enough for this sped up warrior promo 😂😂

[@gwaters8067]

I am. It made more sense this time 👍😂

[@jbanks979]

That Eddie promo hit so hard because it was screaming real problems with WCW that SHOULD have been addressed. A sane company would have done literally anything to get the 7 or so 5 star midcarders into ANYTHING resembling the main event. Or they might just bail to the competition.

[@t.v.rockwell4504]

Listening to Eddie's promo has given an a reminder that of just how good he became as a talker down the line. Imagine if this Eddie from 2002-2005 cutting that same promo and how much better it would of sounded. Take Eddie's performance from his famous "Addict" promo and place on 1998 Eddie's promo and it would be so much stronger.

[@BrandanTheBroker]

Eddie meant those words because that's how he felt. But it shows a glimpse of who he was going to become. Not sure if Latino Heat could have worked in WCW, and maybe he needed to go through everything he went through to become the Eddie we still love and hold high today, but you see it in this promo.

[@KingPK]

Honestly, both Eddie and Warrior's promos suffered from the same thing: they were too long and rambly and needed to get to their point faster. The crowd completely tuned Eddie out because 99% of them couldn't care any less about backstage politics and he was repeating himself over and over.

[@Dr_V_von_Doom]

Nah. Some crowds are pretty stupid and if it isn’t tits and ass they got bored. Eddie was having absolute bangers week in and week out. That particular crowd isn’t indicative of the majority of wrestling fans at that time.
