Some people just were not meant to ever be in front of a mic.....or better yet, maybe they're perfect for it....depending on if you wanted them to deliver a message or give you something to laugh about 😂😂😂😂😂
There aren't too many guys that size pulling off Frankensteiners. He is in no way a high-flyer. Come to think of it is this the only time he pulled out some flash? I always see him as Strike, Strike, Lock-up. Then some gimmick like a chair or bat. 5X15 chain link cage... That's the great part of this series being reminded how good some of these guys were. Remember when Kayn didnt have a beer belly? When both HBK's eyes looked the same direction. Vinnie Mac being a whipping boy before Shane.
Thanks for the shout out again. It’s the least I can do. Really enjoy the show . Khloe made the sign bc she’s becoming a fan now too. Keep up the great work and thank you 🙏
I remember being shocked the first time I saw the chair spot in the Raven vs Riggs match when I was 15 and talking about it with friends the next day wondering if it was real as well. Raven was another wrestler who would become one of my favourites during this time and even more so when I first saw his ECW work years later.
What was supposed to happen was after Raven drop toe hold on Riggs , Raven was supposed to recover for a little and then hit the Evenflow DDT and pin and win so their rivalry could lead to Riggs winning at some point and then join The Flock. You can hear how hard Scott Riggs hits the chair
“Brothers” and “Grand Wizard” get me every time. Loved original DX. Rude and Chyna’s face crack me up during “…the n-word.” Also Owen trying to hit Shawn (while on the ‘tron) with the flag is priceless. The small things.
I'm with you, I remember this Riggs-Raven match too and the subsequent eyepatch so vividly. It's one thing to have all of these vignettes introducing you, it's another thing to give a guy a "career ending" injury in your first match.
Absolutely love this series and been following you since before Episode 1. You definitely showcase IMO the best period in Pro Wrestling in a great way.
…and that was Bret’s last ever match on RAW (it’s hard to take his 2010 run seriously). It was such a joy to relieve his WWF run and look forward to relive his feuds with Sting and DDP.
Mate what can I say, you are amazing. The effort and presentation, the memes and injokes over time. No one has paid tribute to the best era in PW like you. Bravo.
I always look forward to these Thursday reliving the wars they make the days better and you learn something new that you didn't already know when it comes to feuds and matches.
Was listening to a stream and accidentally skipped to another video via my headphones, saw reliving the war was out and went “well this is what I’m listening to now” Great work brother I love your videos
I have no real interest in today’s wrestling but this series takes me back to the good times. All hail Wrestling Bios! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Are you going to cover Assault on Devils Island?
And that's Bret's final Raw match. I remember hearing somewhere that one way to get the belt off of Bret so he wouldn't have to lose it to Shawn, was for him to drop it here to Shamrock and I think if they did that could have worked of they booked correctly. Yeah Shamrock was new but he had that intensity and background that I would totally believed him beating Bret here; heck it wouldn't even have to be clean with Shawn interfering and accidentally costing Bret the title. It would have elevated the fued to the point where it didn't need the title anymore; just these two legitimately wanting to rip each other apart could have been a great way to sell the match.
Thank you wrestling bios, i really needed this video today, to get my mind off real life things. More so than i do on any other week. I appreciate your content and dedication to the craft so much more than words can ever describe.
I had just gotten Internet access a few months prior, and it's crazy how that effected my fandom. I was a diehard fan but I barely paid attention to this Raw episode due to it being pre-recorded. Ah, the good old OLD days before internet... lol
@@jwadewalt You think they'd reach out and maybe try to work with him or something. I've said it on other videos but this channel is the only reason I have even the slightest interest in wrestling still. I'm 31, and I haven't watched it since I was 16 and I literally couldn't care less about it. I just enjoy the nostalgia factor plus the way Wrestling Bios presents with his spot on analysis mixed in with the humour here and there. It's a really good mix.
I swear that I just got out of the shower and was like ... oh snap, it’s Reliving The War night ! I truly look forward to this weekly show like I did for Monday Nights when I was a kid. Thank you, brother, for all that you do. Best channel on RUclips 💯
The only thing good about week days, is getting to watch the latest episodes of RELIVING THE WAR every Thursday and some Sundays with WRESTLING BIOS... Literally, the only thing and BEST part of my life anymore 😆 Thanks WRESTLING BIOS for continuously saving my life each and every week!!! 💯😇🤘🏾🤟✊🏿✌️👌🏻
When they start having a Thursday night show are you going to cover them . You are doing such a great job with the Monday night war . I would love to see you cover the Thursday night shows .
@@Goomyx1492 yeah I like that . I look forward to seeing his videos every Thursday . If he takes on the Thursday night shows it would give us something to look forward to on Monday 😊
There was a video upload a few months ago. Where the guy running the channel had questions and answers throughout. He’s got no plans to do the Thursday shows, other than talk about how they would impact the Monday show each week. Although Smackdown has been a strong B show throughout its time and had a major impact on the Monday Night War. Thunder was a B show which was all but forgotten about. It was a show no one wanted, except for the executives at Turner Network, who were looking for ratings. There was no real effort put into the show. There was no real competition between the Thursday shows. In my opinion the Thursday shows were a mistake. From a fans standpoint. As much as I loved watching Smackdown back then up until the mid 00s. The problem was over saturation of the market. You had gone from, in the space of 3 or 4 years. One hour Raw and one hour Nitro each week. Along with a PPV each month, by each company. However the In Your House PPVs were much smaller than the bigger PPVs. By 1999, Raw had doubled in length and Nitro had trebled. There was also a 3 hour PPV every month by both companies. Now they also both had 2 “flag ship shows” each week. In hindsight this is when things started to nose dive. It was too much, led to burnout and later on is one of the reasons fans started to stop watching.
I think that's why I always liked the Steiners, suplex city, hot tag, variety of finishers. ( them being actual brothers, and the collegiate angle is the cherry on the top).
13:10 Ahmed Johnson sounds EXACTLY like one of the Goldust soundbites from WWF Warzone. (When you put him in a Hold, preferably Davey Boy Smith Chinlock)
Hey man. I've been a fan since the channel launched, & I've been here throughout the entire Reliving the War series. I just wanna express my gratitude for providing fans with the most detailed & insightful retrospectives about about what so many of us grew up loving. Congrats on cracking 300K subs! I share the channel as much as I can cuz IMO you should have a 1M+...
Another Thursday, and another great RTW episode. Your videos really are the best wrestling content on the interwebz, and a highlight of my week. Benoit vs Finlay was always a great match, regardless of the era. I just wish Finlay got more of a push. Dude was a beast.
09:05 - So... at 39 years old, I just realized that the highly raised knee that Triple H performs is in fact the Harley Race Knee. Sometimes, there's just no excuse. XD
Anybody else look forward to Thursday nights now as much as they did Monday nights back then?
Friday nights sky sports for me in england
@@woolybag1884 No dude. To relive the war. Silly.
I look forward to it more than I did for Thursday Thunder.
Yessir 💪🏾💯
Hell yeah!!!!!!! No better way to agree to your comment then to use a Stone Cold catch phrase
The dead pan "thanks raven" gets me every time
The deadpan "brother" to mock The Hulkster is gold.
I was at this Raw. The best night of my fourth grade year.
You saw Bret Hart’s last Raw match.
I love how this Bret/Shamrock match was what the Survivor Series match with Michaels was supposed to be.
Ahmed Johnson promos are the gift that keeps on giving, lol! Great work as usual.
Yeah I remember reacting to his promos the same way I did when ultimate warrior cut a promo. I'm not sure what he said but YEAH!
Some people just were not meant to ever be in front of a mic.....or better yet, maybe they're perfect for it....depending on if you wanted them to deliver a message or give you something to laugh about
😂😂😂😂😂
Ken Shamrock really improved quickly. Really wish he had more of an impact during this time, but there was so much talent in this period.
Yea well he had already done pro wrestling before mma. But he was definitely talented.
Yea i agree but Bret Hart makes everyone look good the Hitman was as pro as you get.
There aren't too many guys that size pulling off Frankensteiners. He is in no way a high-flyer. Come to think of it is this the only time he pulled out some flash? I always see him as Strike, Strike, Lock-up. Then some gimmick like a chair or bat. 5X15 chain link cage... That's the great part of this series being reminded how good some of these guys were.

Best belly to belly suplex in the biz back then. Loved his frankensteiner too.
@@atlasblast2082 😂 HBK eyes looking same direction hahaha. He did look alot cooler before the wondering eye.
OMG I literally spit my water out at the Glacier spot! Anybody else think these episodes just continue to get better week by week?
The pure disdain 😂
Thanks for the shout out again. It’s the least I can do. Really enjoy the show . Khloe made the sign bc she’s becoming a fan now too. Keep up the great work and thank you 🙏
You Da Man!!!
Congratulations on getting on the channel
🍾
Stop eating all of my BEANS

I was there and it looked sick and real
What was supposed to happen was after Raven drop toe hold on Riggs , Raven was supposed to recover for a little and then hit the Evenflow DDT and pin and win so their rivalry could lead to Riggs winning at some point and then join The Flock. You can hear how hard Scott Riggs hits the chair
Why were you playing with electricity while watching that
Welcome to Thursday Afternoon Reliving the War. The best pro wrestling show on the RUclipss. Thanks again for another trip down memory lane.
“Brothers” and “Grand Wizard” get me every time. Loved original DX. Rude and Chyna’s face crack me up during “…the n-word.” Also Owen trying to hit Shawn (while on the ‘tron) with the flag is priceless. The small things.
Nice to hear Ahmed having such fun in the ring.
YOU DESERVE MORE CREDIT FOR YOUR EPIC EDITING! The timing and music in your intros is the best in the game.
Actually got chills seeing him front row with the Wrestling Bios sign! What a god damn great, Jam-Up Guy!
Reliving the war is an amazing series on RUclips 👍
I'm with you, I remember this Riggs-Raven match too and the subsequent eyepatch so vividly. It's one thing to have all of these vignettes introducing you, it's another thing to give a guy a "career ending" injury in your first match.
Damn I'm loving the new intro. We're now getting into the attitude phase. I look forward to these episodes more the today's WWE and aew.
Absolutely love this series and been following you since before Episode 1. You definitely showcase IMO the best period in Pro Wrestling in a great way.
4:57 The Rocky wearing his Team Rocket shirt and Pokémon didn't air yet here on TV in the U.S. until it premiered the following year.
“The returning Fit Finlay battles Chris Jericho.” Jericho working twice in one night. Dedicated guy.
…and that was Bret’s last ever match on RAW (it’s hard to take his 2010 run seriously). It was such a joy to relieve his WWF run and look forward to relive his feuds with Sting and DDP.
"Why wasn't Ahmed Johnson pushed more?" Ohhh ever since this series all my questions been answered from certain storylines 😂
"Biker Michael Likers"
Nuff said.
Haha the clips you pick for the Disco Inferno intro get me every time! 😂
Getting back from work on a Thursday is awesome. Time to relieve my childhood.
Mate what can I say, you are amazing. The effort and presentation, the memes and injokes over time. No one has paid tribute to the best era in PW like you. Bravo.
I loved that Hart/Nation/DX segment, the Nation literally went up the stage to throw hands real quick as soon as Triple H said they said the n-word😂😂😂
Man. The end of an era for RTW.
Not only the end of Bret's run, but also Vince's run as the Babyface announcer.
I always look forward to these Thursday reliving the wars they make the days better and you learn something new that you didn't already know when it comes to feuds and matches.
I would love to see a Saturday night main event series like this too.
I'm still pretty happy to be walking down memory lane again though.
Throw in shotgun Saturday night too and I am sold!
10:09 That suplex is unreal.
The fantasia clip in disco inferno's segment caught me off guard and I am dying 😂 fantastic stuff as always.
The fact that I know how things will end still doesn't stop me from watching these
HBK calling Bret "The Grand Wizard" while talking to the Nation was necessary but Unnecessary Comedy. Good Stuff
Was listening to a stream and accidentally skipped to another video via my headphones, saw reliving the war was out and went “well this is what I’m listening to now”
Great work brother I love your videos
I have no real interest in today’s wrestling but this series takes me back to the good times. All hail Wrestling Bios! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Are you going to cover Assault on Devils Island?
Undoubtedly the best wrestling series on RUclips, time for some Horseman Business!
I'm have goosebumps because this is Bret's final match on Raw before Survivor Series.
Yep, his final Raw match until... 2010 vs the Miz?
@@toptenguy1 yeah that match in 2010 bret hart has beat the heck out of The Miz on Raw
TGIT it's been a LONG week.. need me some Reliving The War!! Thanks again, Mate! Cheers!
And that's Bret's final Raw match.
I remember hearing somewhere that one way to get the belt off of Bret so he wouldn't have to lose it to Shawn, was for him to drop it here to Shamrock and I think if they did that could have worked of they booked correctly.
Yeah Shamrock was new but he had that intensity and background that I would totally believed him beating Bret here; heck it wouldn't even have to be clean with Shawn interfering and accidentally costing Bret the title.
It would have elevated the fued to the point where it didn't need the title anymore; just these two legitimately wanting to rip each other apart could have been a great way to sell the match.
Should've would've could've
oh man! i attended this nitro back in 97! i’ve been waiting for this episode for a long time!
'There's no reason for us to fight'. Classic Raven stuff.
This episode may be my very favourite episode. So much good s--t.
Thank you wrestling bios, i really needed this video today, to get my mind off real life things. More so than i do on any other week. I appreciate your content and dedication to the craft so much more than words can ever describe.
Its amazing how little things like a RUclips video can help on a really tough day
it Is once again time to say that reliving the war is the best show in all of wrestling right now, not just RUclips.
I assume when the series wraps we'll get a Triple H Vs Goldust Reviving The War compilation 🤣
seriously no other wrestling youtuber can match your dedication right now. your on god level right now mate.
Watching this reminds me of how long DDP wrestled with his ribs taped it seemed like it was for 2 years
Thank you Wrestling Bios. You actually make Thursday a lot less of a chore to get through and greatly appreciate all that you do.
The weekend has now just kicked off as the best shoe on you tube is here, well done Wrestling Bios
It's a good shoe
Love that these come out around 2 pm my time makes the last hour of work easy. Another classic thank you
Killing me with Alex Wrights "No time to swing the Bratwurst this week" lol 😆 😂
RELIVING THE WAR! MAN 1998 IS GONNA BE WILD
Got to love the new age outlaws just thrown together and ended up one of the best teams of late 90's
Mr. Consistency with these videos! Keep them coming :)
I love the subtle evolution of the intro video as the weeks progress. Excellent touch.
Thanks chase and khloe for spreading the word!
I had just gotten Internet access a few months prior, and it's crazy how that effected my fandom. I was a diehard fan but I barely paid attention to this Raw episode due to it being pre-recorded. Ah, the good old OLD days before internet... lol
Pretty hyped we're getting started with all the good stuff soon. The BEST damn IC champ there ever was coming up!
I like how the thumbnail has DDP and The Rock, both “people’s champion” for both companies on it.
2 OGs of their respective companies.
Diamond Cutter vs Rock Bottom/People's Elbow
Would've been awesome if they faced each other one on one
@@leseditongela663 yea never got to see that happen, not even during the invasion angle. Smh
@@jabroni_z2686 I feel you.
What if Scott Steiner faced The Rock in 2003? Imagine the promo battles they would've had
25:03 the nervous laugh😂😂😂
I look forward to this every week. The greatest series on RUclips. One question ...do you get any feedback from the WWE on how good this is?
They like it so much because it’s too good they keep striking him
@@jwadewalt You think they'd reach out and maybe try to work with him or something.

@Black Boy King TV Explain it to me then smartarse.
I love these “Reliving the War” videos. This was right before I really got into wrestling so it’s almost like a prequel to me.
I’m doing horsemen business and forgot what time it was. Can not wait
the best series on youtube by FAR love this series wrestlingbios you rock man!!!!
Man, wrestling was so good around this time! I remember being 6 years old loving every single second!
The disco inferno segment is my new favorite
Generally look forward to these each week! Thanks for hard work mate much love!
Saved the day, brother. Thanks.
YES ! Undertakers And Kane Stock Footages Adventures !!!! I love it so much ! Thanks WB ! 😊
I swear that I just got out of the shower and was like ... oh snap, it’s Reliving The War night !
I truly look forward to this weekly show like I did for Monday Nights when I was a kid.
Thank you, brother, for all that you do.
Best channel on RUclips 💯
I still can t understand why wwe has not hired you
Seriously man this reliving the war serie is pure gold
Making great videos come as naturally to you as chinlocks to Davey Boy Smith. Keep bringing the jam
The only thing good about week days, is getting to watch the latest episodes of RELIVING THE WAR every Thursday and some Sundays with WRESTLING BIOS... Literally, the only thing and BEST part of my life anymore 😆 Thanks WRESTLING BIOS for continuously saving my life each and every week!!! 💯😇🤘🏾🤟✊🏿✌️👌🏻
Congrats on 300k! But you deserve 10x that!
I was in San Diego for that nitro with a couple of others. I may have seen myself on the video in the audience. It was a great show.
The stock footage of the chicken sitting on the curb gets me every time 😂😂😂
20:24 Love the HBK is Nash’s Boy sign in the crowd
My favorite wrestling content on RUclips
Love your stuff man! Honestly been looking forward to the post-Starrcade 97 Reliving the War for months. Can't wait. Keep it up!
This really brings home that excitement we all felt waiting to tune in to raw or nitro back when the world is a better place
Mate the Alex Wright stuff just leaves me sitting buckled man amazing. Quality content
This is ur best video yet lol I spit my beer all over my stone cold shirt during all that crazy stock footage and your commentary
Wrestling Bios you can tell spends time on this! This man needs over a million subs!!!!!
Love your vids bro! Cheers from Austin, TX.

Love the new into. Keep up the good work love these videos. Anyone else here from video 1?
I still think about this Riggs moment constantly. The selling was beautiful
Thanks for the memories my friend!
Another great episode of Reliving the war ...it just doesn't disappoint every week the shows are getting better i love this series

Awesome that ppl are repping your channel at current live events!! Dope!. Love the show
Found myself driving home from a crappy day of work only to remember I had a new WAR episode. good work but we need more Alex dancing
"Awe for fucks sake climbing trees" 😂😂😂 that one got me lol
Love this series, I really hope it won’t be coming to an end anytime soon. Pls keep’me coming!
