Brother... You're legitimately the first person to say Netscape Navigator in probably 20 years. Thanks for that trip back to the middle school computer lab and an air duster buzz. Thanks for all you do too. Best channel on RUclips.
@Cam Schuster I remember watching it on ppv and the screen going black and my dad calling the cable company to complain about them telling him it's not them and then it coming back on and jr telling the fans what happened and then him saying Owen had passed away and yes it is very creepy considering what happened and you are right it happen may 23rd 1999 its sad to think now Owen Hart has less then a year alive
I loved the Night of Destruction. As a kid who thought this was all real, every match felt tense, because it felt like these otherworldly creatures were stalking around, looking for prey. It made them feel like the horror movie villains they were based off of, and I loved how chaotic the show felt as a result.
I feel like The Giant in WCW was one of the most inconsistently booked people ever. One night he's an unstoppable force, the next he's just another guy wearing NWO Black and White.
I was a freshman in HS when we hit this part of the war. In a few episodes, I moved cross country for about 6 months, and didn’t have cable. So I’m genuinely looking forward to the next few months of Reliving the War, as it will be first time seeing it. Thank you, WB, for doing this every week.
I'm a month behind on RTW, but I just want to thank you again for this series. It reminded me why I fell in love with pro wrestling way back in 1996. Who needs Young Rock when you have this young Jam Up Guy covering everything week by week?
The "MARTY JANNETTY CHIN-LOooooCK. HOO HOO HOOoo-YEEeeah" caught me off guard. I was tabbed out, and I just burst out laughing. Your RtW series is a gem, dude, I love it so much.
I started watching some of the RAW and Nitros on peacock ahead of the next Reliving the War episode for two reasons: 1. To see if any wrestler would perform at least three chinlocks/restholds/moves 2. To check if Road Dogg does his in-ring intro, in anticipation of how Wrestling Bios will have Bret Hart tell Road Dogg to "Shut Up."
@@billblaski9523 This is right about the time the ratings went through the roof. It went from just me and a couple of friends watching, to nearly everyone I knew watching.
I was just thinking that too. Corny confronted Russo, and said “really,6 DQ’s?” Then Russo added one more DQ. Terrible that a Raw after a major PPV went down like this.
At 4:56 that promo was a special historical promo tape Arn did in the early 80's. That was the tape Ric Flair watched and saw something in Arn (which we call the IT factor) and helped get him to the Carolina's. That was where he met Ric for the first time as well as his shot at the stars by working with Ole as the Minnesota Wrecking Crew, then the rest was history. So if any of you are curious about the tape it is on RUclips still and was done in the South East Territory at the time and if I remember correctly, it was just prior to his days rocking the fedora hat. It's a solid promo and was his ticket to star dome.
This literally makes my Thursdays worthwhile 😂. Seriously the work you do is not only entertaining as hell but is loved deeply man! I actually remember watching this episode of Raw and I was so aggravated by the constant DQs. I was waiting for this episode to come along and your analysis, as always, was spot on and hilarious as ever!
Wrestling Bios, you give light to my life in dark times. Lost my Aunt, Cousin, and my grandmother is in the hospital. Jam on my brother, and please know that your hard work is appreciated from a random dude in Las Vegas, NV. Thank you.
At 27:53 . The "J.O.B. 2000" sign sums up the sad state of the L.O.D. at this point in time. Hurts looking back on it, and i wasn't even alive back then to see it!
Kanyon joining the flock after all this time, not to mention being denied entry at first, is why I wish you did get to do some coverage of Thunder. Obviously not possible but since it didn't happen on Nitro it's just glossed over.
Shout out for the reference to Netscape & Biker Mice from Mars xD Btw I just started watching your content a couple days ago w/Summer Slam 98. I love your in-ring commentary and I love your dedication towards this segment! I didn't get into wrestling until around 1999, and then the Acclaim WWF PS1 games, so to see earlier portions of the war is a real treat! Keep up the good work
Wow, first time first. I want to thank the most jam up channel on RUclips, thank you for all you do. I love you all and there's nothing you can do about it.
This is the highlight of my Thursdays, especially when I’m at work lol. Thank u so much for doing what u do and being good at it! I appreciate your effort and love the content u put out, thanks WB
I don't watch any TV at this point in my life and I certainly don't tune in weekly to any show with the exception of this show. Always make it a point to make time for this. Thank you for putting these together dude.
@@330wiz7 same. The only difference is here in India i have to wake till 1 in the night to watch reliving the war. Because I can't wait for the next morning to watch it.
Welcome to Thursday Afternoon Jericho... aka Reliving the War. The best wrestling program on the internet. Thanks again for bringing me back to some great positive memories of my college ages.
Looking back, this 4 Horsemen storyline is actually pretty good and I wish it would have led to something very major in terms of another rejuvenated Horsemen run. I’m also partial to Arn Anderson so maybe my glasses are rose colored
I don’t know what people are talking about, Blackman is the most emotionally expressive man I’ve ever seen, the passion in his facial expressions are things of legend.
Each time he gets to a Blackman segment.. I put the CC's to see if anything red comes up (If you know the clownshow story of what YT have been doing to his CC's you'll understand why) but nope.. A whole section comes up that you'de never know about unless you put the CC's on..
It was around this time that there were rumblings of WCW being merged with AOL/TimeWarner for the first time. WCW was still going strong with WWF here still, but cracks were starting to form within the Turner organization.
This is the Raw Cornette referenced when he mentioned to Russo that 6 outta 8 matches were dqs and Russo responded with "Dq shmee Q, it doesn't matter" SMFH
It does make ya realize just how far the industry has fallen at least in the USA seeing the era with the best storylines (even when they were silly), camera work, and Professional Wrestlers in history.
I feel so sorry for the people in that Raw’s audience. They paid their hard-earned money to see… how many DQ finishes was it? I get the TV schedule was disrupted for two weeks or so, but they didn’t have to completely give up.
@@Jiren261 If story is king in the Attitude Era, let’s remember the story of the main event: Jeff Jarrett and 2 Cold Scorpio had a match (for… reasons?) and then that match ended in disqualification because of X-Pac’s interference. And the only reason why Jarrett and X-Pac are feuding right now is because one night X-Pac decided (for… reasons?) to urinate in Jarrett’s boots. That’s the story of the main event in this Attitude Era episode of Raw. I get that Undertaker and Kane were the main focus of this episode of Raw. However, it’s clear that this was a throwaway episode because of the schedule changes.
@@suntanironman I didn't dispute that it was a throwaway episode, My point was don't feel sorry for the live fans as they were having a blast. Most matches being DQ finishes weren't a problem as they fueled the main story of Kane & Undertaker pissed at Vince. As for "Story is King" I meant to WWE in the Attitude era it was Story > Match Quality, Even Cornette, Russo & Pritchard have said that.
@@Jiren261 There is no story here. Not really. At least not a story worth paying money for, lol. Vince called Taker and Kane a name and the brothers spent the entire episode this week just beating people up because Vince called them that name. That was their entire motivation. Spoilers for next week: Nothing happens with the story (such as it is) of Undertaker, Kane and Vince next week. I don’t even think either brother will appear on the show next week (maybe a video package to hype up the next PPV, but not an in-person appearance). I don’t think Vince appears next week either. Next week’s episode of Raw (arguably) will be even worse than this week’s episode of Raw.
Perspective changes when you're an adult. When I was a kid, I was fascinated by The Flock and Raven. Resolution for the group didn't particularly matter. Hell, I thought it was cool that they sat in the front row and made their entrances from there.
Hey yo!! Now we getting somewhere!! My fandom started around this time so I'm excited to see how you recap it When I think about my early mark out days, Wrath was DEFINITELY top 5. The Meltdown and the Death Penalty were sweet moves. Him, DDP, X-Pac and that Scott Hall guy seemed pretty popular and looked cool so he fit in my top 5 just by being Scott Hall lol
First comment we has wrestling bios fans are blessed wrestling bios is doing this series I have been hear since episode 1 keep up the amazing work wrestling bios
Man it's hard to believe Arn Anderson was 50 back then and today he's 51. Time flies I swear
I can't believe there's only 4 months left of 1998 in RTW! We're almost at the dying years of WCW and the absolute peak of the WWF.
It does seem like WCW is spinning their wheels at this point in some areas.
@@roccojamison89gooker51they start to spin their wheels as soon they get Bret Hart. Starcade 97 was the beginning of the end.
I always felt like the finger poke of doom is what began the downfall of WCW
@@JPD2587 There was still some good in 1998; it did lead to Revenge on N64. 1999 was definitely when you can tell something wasn't right.
I think I was getting fed up with WCW at this point and started watching WWF.
Brother... You're legitimately the first person to say Netscape Navigator in probably 20 years. Thanks for that trip back to the middle school computer lab and an air duster buzz. Thanks for all you do too. Best channel on RUclips.
We are now reliving the most peak time of the war, thank you WB for bringing back all the memories of a simpler and better time.
The WWF at the San Diego Sports Arena were the best times of my childhood.
We are also watching the last year of Owen harts life on raw I believe his accident happens in July of 1999
@@chindub6563 still hurts. I remember the day well. I think it was in May of 99 at Over the Edge, that PPV name is creepy considering what happened.

Send for the man!
The greatest thing about Thursday
Throw back Thursday!
Yep
Thursday does not begin until I receive notification that reliving the war has been posted
Definitely. Sometimes, the only good thing about Thursday.
ABSO(FUCKN)LUTELY!!!!
I loved the Night of Destruction. As a kid who thought this was all real, every match felt tense, because it felt like these otherworldly creatures were stalking around, looking for prey. It made them feel like the horror movie villains they were based off of, and I loved how chaotic the show felt as a result.
Same here, Seeing Kane & Taker destroy everyone was always fun
There's very few times where i feel "old" but bringing up Netscape Navigator took me back
Kazaa and sharebear...
P.S. Napster 😚
Marty giving us a chin lock buffet on his way out was such a classy gesture.
Good man
@@mashonem Class act
A real jam up guy
Chin lock buffet 🤣
Biker Mice from Mars, that's a sweet nostalgia hit from my childhood.
Steve Blackman was one of my favorites as a kid and your commentary on him brings me back to being 14.
He's the best part of the whole series.
@@nuduce123 The best mu’fuggin part
"The Mu'Fugga Kick" is the best finisher name ever.
Blackman sucked
I feel like The Giant in WCW was one of the most inconsistently booked people ever. One night he's an unstoppable force, the next he's just another guy wearing NWO Black and White.
WWE didn’t do him any favors when he went over there either.
Hell naw, vested smokin announcing giant was over as f.....
Same as in WWE
I was a freshman in HS when we hit this part of the war. In a few episodes, I moved cross country for about 6 months, and didn’t have cable. So I’m genuinely looking forward to the next few months of Reliving the War, as it will be first time seeing it. Thank you, WB, for doing this every week.
I was in the middle of negotiating a hostage situation when i got notified of the latest RTW upload. Hope those nice people make it out OK.
Just tell them to chinlock each other in the meantime. (Just kidding, that would KILL THEM. )
🤣🤣🤣
I'm a month behind on RTW, but I just want to thank you again for this series. It reminded me why I fell in love with pro wrestling way back in 1996. Who needs Young Rock when you have this young Jam Up Guy covering everything week by week?
Now that Picard Season 3 has come and gone, Reliving The War gets to run unopposed on Thursdays once again!
Thank you good sir! Keep up the good work!
Thursday just got better, thank you wrestling bios for what you do big dog
The "MARTY JANNETTY CHIN-LOooooCK. HOO HOO HOOoo-YEEeeah" caught me off guard. I was tabbed out, and I just burst out laughing. Your RtW series is a gem, dude, I love it so much.

Downvoted for Spoilerdom.
Swear the Steve Blackman intros get me amped 😂😂😂 probably one of my favorite mashups next to disco in this legendary series.

@@gp.5989 alpha 3
'The Bald Biker Mice From Mars' - wow what a line. Had me in stitches lol
Al Green AND Brian Adams on WCW... Damn, what a chart-topping episode!
Nothing like reliving the wars on wrestling bios !!! ❤
You did right by Summerslam ‘98. That one has a special place in my heart as it was the first PPV I watched.
A huge transition ppv
This might have been the night Cornette snapped on Vince Russo.Russo wrote Raw to have all those DQs,according to Cornette.
That happened probably around 1999. It evolved around a match with Chyna too.
@@therealDJG sauce?

Bret hart telling Road Dogg to shut up is a big part of the week 😂
I can’t wait for 1999 it’s going to be awesome! 🔥🔥😎👍🏻
Not if you are a fan of wrestling. The last two years of Nitro are going to be painful to watch.
But WWF is just getting started
You're gonna love the finger poke of doom
Honestly, I think 1999 was a bit of a slump year imo; Nitro decline was a LOT more evident and Raw's "Russoisms" were getting too much.
Marty going out like a champ 💪
Always look forward to these.
There are lots of cool and funny bits in this one. Great job keeping the show feel fresh 👏 My Man!
