@@ivanvukasovic1371 fuk yes, I'll take that 0.75 on the Meng Manly Meter! LoL Finally, that Horsemen Business is paying off! Now to challenge the Fake Double J and right the Horsemen Ship!
This hits home for me. The pay per view was on my dad's birthday and we watched it together. He is no longer here on this 🌍 but thank you Wrestling Bios for this trip down memory lane for me.
Reliving the War, going strong for over a year and you’re talking about August 1997 events! Got to love the dedication and solid commitment to bringing this content forward for our enjoyment! Love it! Thanks WB,
This video dropped as I'm scrolling thru Rock vs Austin highlights on a stormy sunday, thinking how blessed and lucky we were to have those times; also knowing it will never be this good again.
@@ham-mantheman-ham634 No we can't, times have changed. UFC is now what pro wrestling is used to be 20-25 years ago, everything became political correct and most things that make pro wrestling great would not be allowed today, most current talent have not even the star power of the past. During the 80s,90s and even 00s you didn't have to watch pro wrestling to acknowledge how big it was, now it's just people pretending it has potential whem actually nobody cares.
@@tx_outlaw7951 But how would they know if 90% of the new wrestlers look like them and instead of being badasses they try to be political correct and applauding women because they got their own PPV? I can't blame them.
No doubt. I enjoy the lists and commentary, but this channel is the most substantial. I started with peak Attitude era, so I knew nothing about WCW besides Sting being unbeatable in Revenge. This is has completely changed my perspective on the era.
Yeah, as a former Bear, the reaction Mongo received that night doesn't surprise me. Take it from a Chicagoan, the blood feud between Bears and Packers fans runs *DEEP* to this very day. Funny enough, Steve *did* play his final NFL season with the Packers, but to the Chicago faithful, he's a Bear through and through.
I may be in the minority on this, but I actually enjoyed these backstage brawls between Benoit and Sullivan. I always found them entertaining and fitting for such a heated rivalry. Then again I'm probably one of few that also actually enjoyed watching the hardcore title matches during the attitude era of the WWF.
As a 12 year old back then, Benoit and Sullivan brawls were just so awesome. I always looked forward to their matches, even though I didn't understand why it was so intense. I always thought Woman was Ric Flairs valet. Then again, this was before the internet took over the world and unless u could afford the wrestling magazines at the book store, you didn't have dirt sheets.
@@zemox2534 I actually wonder the timeline where Benoit and Nancy REALLY got together.. I know it started as a storyline but.. Were they already together by early 1997?
I enjoyed some of the Hardcore title matches also. Especially when they would end up in the bar across the street from the arena or outside somewhere. I think the 24/7 rule ruined it though and made things too gimmicky.
I loved the psychology of the Norton-Eddie match. I wonder if that was Norton or Eddie's idea or a collab. I thought it showed Eddie in a great light of adapting in the ring and showed a nice dry humor of Norton with his taunting and that freaking suplex was A+
Looking back at the nWo matches Scott Hall was the one actually working most matches in the main event scene. Nash and Hogan wasn't as active as Hall in representing the nWo as far as one on one matches.
I like how your back round music is from different wrestling games XD. Like during the Eddie match, that back round music is from Smackdown Here comes the Pain ahah.
I loved all the commentary about the crowd because I was part of it. I went to plenty of shows in Milwaukee back in the 90s and can tell you that while the WWF drew the more "mainstream" crowds, WCW shows brought out a combination of the diehards, the tape traders, the dirt sheet readers, and the old schoolers that stuck around after the AWA days. It made for a much rowdier atmosphere than you'd find at WWF shows even in the same building (KOTR 1996 was in this building just a few months earlier). In fact, this was more or less the same people who showed up for the ECW shows when they started running Milwaukee.
Totally great, under-the-radar moment of this show: when Hall, Nash and Syxx were coming out for the main event, Schiavone took time to acknowledge the great fans and singled out Brian Hildebrand, wishing him a happy 35th birthday. Because that day was the 35th birthday of Mark Curtis, real name Brian Hildebrand.
Eddie's lift up drop kick on Norton. Norton didn't even budge .and u know Eddie really kicked him cause Eddie launched back like he was pushing off a solid surface
WCW didn’t know WTF they were doing! Signing Hall & Nash could’ve been a steal. They basically got paid slot of money to party LOL All they did was go out in the ring wasted and cut a promo for 5min. I can’t even remember one match from them... Also signing “The Best there is the best there was and the best their ever will be...” should’ve been legendary. But he had no story line and was basically just a loner on the show. He was the best talent and already had a fan base, he should’ve been an easy push. But they flushed it all down the toilet. They should have never let Eric Bischof have control of the money and signings he buried them!
Awesome video buddy 💯 ... I still have this Clash on VHS 📼 lol it was clear at this point that DDP was quickly becoming one of the top babyfaces in WCW
It makes me happy to know I'm not the only one to appreciate the art of Scott Hall's punches. They were a thing of beauty. Just like Bret's. Bret made everything look so good. So good that you could almost feel the pain.
You continue to impress me with your content, quality, delivery, humour, surprise cameos. Awesome I just want you to know brother your videos are really entertaining and one of the highlights of my day.
DUDE, Scott Norton's powerbombs used to give me chills when I was a kid lol. I always thought Norton had the best powerbomb in the business back then, way better than Nash's Jack knife as well. Nash just leaves people in the air half way through his powerbomb tho.. Norton used force from beginning to end!!! SO SICK!! 💯😂🤘🏾
Loved Chris Benoit's WCW theme. Das Wunderkind vs Masahiro Chono's nWo shirt was my favorite moment of this episode of Nitro. The shirt won that war, refusing to do the j.o.b.
Ok I need one of you patrion people with deep pocket's to request a video covering every Eddie Guerrero vs Chavo Guerrero Matches from the WCW day's. There's some brutal bumps. Good stuff.
Serious question- I never watched WCW as I'm from Ireland and I didn't have the channel it was on. I played the games on the Nintendo and had friends who watched it so I knew most of the wrestlers, especially the big stars. What happened to Lex Luger after WCW collapsed? Was he out of wrestling before it even collapsed? He seemed like a huge star. I know most of the top guys in WCW didn't come to WWF/E during that botched Invasion angle but most of them came later. Where did Luger go?
He sadly never got picked up by WWE. Then his life went down from there. He had a spinal stroke and has been in a wheelchair since 2006. He is an amazing person. He’s completely positive about his life and career. Lex should be in the hall of fame.
Dragon and Dean were top tier WCW guys. I wish we could go back and pick and choose the guys we wanted, like a draft, from both sides to start a new wrestling order. Even if it was just one show. Highest grossing ppv ever!

This made me Actually laugh out loud

@@KastleKrossface sounds like a night man, it's hot outside tho, so grab a Glacier Gelatto and you all set
The way DDP slid through the ropes after that cutter was slick af.
@@dougheffernan6191 Not at all. That was pure butter.
La Parka going "THAT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME BROTHER" and ignoring Chavo's dropkick makes me laugh
“The shirt absolutely refuses to do the job” lmfao you’re a gem dude
😂😂😂 that shirt refused to go out the ring
That shirt did the biggest no-sell job I've ever seen in professional wrestling.
Must’ve been made by Hogan
NWO Shirt: "Getting beat by Alex...well that doesn't work for me brother."
@@FadeIn2Obscurity haha yes. Or accidentally put on one of hogan's shirts

Osw this close second
No doubt. I enjoy the lists and commentary, but this channel is the most substantial. I started with peak Attitude era, so I knew nothing about WCW besides Sting being unbeatable in Revenge. This is has completely changed my perspective on the era.
As far as "Education focused" channels go, this is top tier I dont think Ive walked away disappointed from any WB uploads.
*you're
@@ZeroSA not a single one, I honestly itch for the next one most times
17:46 DDP’s makes everything look so cool. Even him leaving after the DC.
That was great
Yeah, as a former Bear, the reaction Mongo received that night doesn't surprise me. Take it from a Chicagoan, the blood feud between Bears and Packers fans runs *DEEP* to this very day. Funny enough, Steve *did* play his final NFL season with the Packers, but to the Chicago faithful, he's a Bear through and through.
Every time I watch wrestling bios, I feel my manly meng meter increasing.
This channel deserves a hell of a lot more subs.
It's a shame WWE(F) never treated the cruiserweight division right. They always delivered in WCW.
I may be in the minority on this, but I actually enjoyed these backstage brawls between Benoit and Sullivan. I always found them entertaining and fitting for such a heated rivalry. Then again I'm probably one of few that also actually enjoyed watching the hardcore title matches during the attitude era of the WWF.
i'm guessing they just overdid it. This was their 3rd or 4th similar brawl? I agree they were heated though.
@@toptenguy1 Considering the real life beef between the two it names sense that their brawls were heated.
As a 12 year old back then, Benoit and Sullivan brawls were just so awesome. I always looked forward to their matches, even though I didn't understand why it was so intense.

These Reliving The War videos are fantastic and I wait eagerly for each video to drop.
I loved the psychology of the Norton-Eddie match. I wonder if that was Norton or Eddie's idea or a collab. I thought it showed Eddie in a great light of adapting in the ring and showed a nice dry humor of Norton with his taunting and that freaking suplex was A+
Brian Hildebrand, who unfortunately passed away almost 22 years ago, always reminded me of a WCW version of Wiliam H. Macy in looks and antics.
this is my favorite wrestling channel hands down you are so dedicated and committed to your videos dude.
Looking back at the nWo matches Scott Hall was the one actually working most matches in the main event scene. Nash and Hogan wasn't as active as Hall in representing the nWo as far as one on one matches.
Some say that Dean Malenko's wrist tape *still* isn't tight enough
I like how your back round music is from different wrestling games XD. Like during the Eddie match, that back round music is from Smackdown Here comes the Pain ahah.
Ultimo Dragon was always one of my favorites I remember always picking him in the nwo vs WCW video games on the N64
Absolutely class commentary from WB on this one, the Benoit bout had me in stitches 😂😂 quality as per!
It really is amazing watching a channel grow. I was like the 8k subscriber, oh so long ago :)
The way DDP left the ring during his interference was awesome
This makes me miss playing old school wrestling games
I loved all the commentary about the crowd because I was part of it.

Buddy I’ve been having a real rough time in my personal life and these videos are always a bright spot for my day, keep up the good work!!!
Stay strong bro i can relate
Same here bro. Be safe out there!
Subscribe to marky d 123 you get great laugh from his commentary
13:47 You know you’re at the height of the Hogan/nWo run when even the damn t-shirts are saying “That doesn’t work for me, brother”

Gotta love Mark Curtis😂,bless him,he was so into his refereeing🔫🔫❤
I loved when he was in the ring, he brought a lot of enthusiasm!
@@jlopez0710 absolutely😂..he was very entertaining,probably my fav referee of all time
I’ve been wait for this. Love the whole Monday night war series
2:25
The referee nodding his head reminded me of J.K. Simmons just before he started slapping Miles Teller for not following the tempo 😂😂
LOVIN' the new remix of Chris Benoit's old WCW entrance theme!!!
That Giant / Max Headroom edit 👏
Bless you for that Max Headroom bit 👌
“The short refuses to do the job”- you’re the best
Eddie's lift up drop kick on Norton. Norton didn't even budge .and u know Eddie really kicked him cause Eddie launched back like he was pushing off a solid surface
"F**king incredible."
You don't often hear him swear but when you do, you know he's happy with what he's seen.
13:45 "and the shirt absolutely refuses to do the job." You're a king!
My absolute favorite wrestling content channel by far!! Been watching since the very beginning of reliving the war
Your "Reliving the War" series really takes me back. I watched WCW religiously as I was from Atlanta, so I'm only now seeing slot of the WWE stuff.
Another great video and that INTRO with the Benoit theme mixed in?!?!?!?!?!?!
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
There isn’t a better RUclips channel today!
Scott Norton is such a beast. That powerbomb looks devastating. Never seen a drop duplex like that either. Wcw had such a great roster at this time.
This is the perfect video to end my busy workday 🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛 wrestling bios continues to kill it!!!!
Crowd was hyped for the Super Bowl that year
As a kid, Chono's main "Claim to fame" was teaching Erik Watts his STF in 1992. LOL

It didn't work for him brother
Damn, was waiting for that one
nice use of Chris Benoit's entrance music in the beginning. You really killed it!
And not just for the clash o no everything. You have took me back to good times and I appreciate it
Awesome video buddy 💯 ... I still have this Clash on VHS 📼 lol it was clear at this point that DDP was quickly becoming one of the top babyfaces in WCW
Another awesome upload from the best wrestling channel on the planet
In all of WcW, Scott Norton is the only one that legit scared me. Also, when wrestlers get into the crowd, is that considered fan service?
Mark Curtis is the perfect stereotypical referee
We fight in Milwaukee! Always have, always do. Whoooo!
The entire state of Wisconsin drinks like Flair does. No wonder he felt at home.
"That's how they fight in Milwaukee... in the saloons and the alley ways. That's not wrestling!" - Ernie Ladd
I lost it at Giant "Max Headroom." 😂
You Sir, brilliant as always
8:49 best way for a former Chicago Bear to get heat in Wisconsin is to just be there.
The Bears still suck
@@angelofdeathmichael673 for sure
WCW definitely had lightning in a bottle when it came to DPP & Lugers rising popularity at this point.
It makes me happy to know I'm not the only one to appreciate the art of Scott Hall's punches. They were a thing of beauty. Just like Bret's. Bret made everything look so good. So good that you could almost feel the pain.
Mongo was to The Horsemen what Jimmy Garvin was to The Freebirds.
Garvin was better
You continue to impress me with your content, quality, delivery, humour, surprise cameos. Awesome I just want you to know brother your videos are really entertaining and one of the highlights of my day.
I wanna say you do a fantastic job and should have 10x the subscribers you do have.
I needed this after a rough two days of pain at my other job. This is the video I need to cheer me up and feel alittle better
The thing that pisses me off about the main event DQ is missing Marc Curtis and the shooters. I need a whole video of the shooters. RIP Brian!!!
The intro is nice point for wrestling Bios
Wished they would have Norton as indestructible member of nwo could have made him a beast against many stars
Quick question how old are you I'm 39 and understand every reference you make and absolutely love it you are my favorite bro keep it up

Dusty cutting off Tony with "Buffy!" had me cracking up
That Norton suplex was crazy.
La Parka acting like the CPU in a recent WWE game, where if you hit them diagonally, it don’t register 😂😂😂
Pretty good ppv especially the main event the was crowd was good too 1997 was a hell of year for wrestling .
I was at this show . Yea we definitely brought the heat that night !!
“Snuffed out” would’ve worked much better for the Giant promo.
That wcw Benoit theme is a banger.
The shirt refusses to do the job...good stuff
Milwaukee always has a great crowd especially during these times
Good thing we got the first, crucial CHIN LOCK out of the way early
Big big fan since day one... I'm gonna ask for my first video request. Can you do a Bullet Club video ??
God Ultimo Dragon was so good.
Wrestling bios is the channel that knows all about Horsemen business!
5:25 Jesus that is a SUPER PLEX if I ever saw one
That rana counter from Último reminds me of the World Liner that Yokosuka Susumu pulls out on Dragon Kid.
I love your show so much
Love the Benoit theme remix
That calo dive looked very painful
Jacques Rougeau is such a great heel
