The reveal that McMahon was jacked is an underrated surprise in the Attitude Era. I remember thinking 'WTF?' because I assumed Vince was just an old guy in a suit.
I really hope after he takes some time off he covers some other wrestling wars like Early Raw vs Smackdown & the Short lived Wednesday night wars between AEW vs NXT
It'll be like the "war" ended all over again. This will be like the 2nd time I had to endure great wrestling come to an end. It sucks because the great story lines really did come to an end shortly after the Monday night wars.
FINALLY!!! RELIVING THE WAR HAS COME BACK... TO RUclips! I know I'm ready for more Chinlocks, more Disco and Saturday Wright Fever, more Steve Mufuggin' Blackman, and a whole bunch of Horseman Business from the Jam-Up Guy, Wrestling Bios! EDIT: Looks like we have a new segment with 2 Cold Scorpio now.... I can vibe with that!
I was a wwf guy....i know there was wcw but wwf seemed to be more story telling then wcw bouncing around from story to just charasmatic none story telling wrestling.
Never knew the ratings switch happened so quickly after Austin became champ, he truly was on another level. Seeing Bret Hart on WCW is just sad at this time.
I had a long out-of-state trip for work this week. So I saved up several reliving the war/PPV videos to listen to on the ride and keep me awake on the road. Thank you for saving my life, Wrestling Bios. Your work is unparalleled
The story told throughout this episode is iconic. One of those episodes of Raw that truly felt unscripted, like the cameras were just capturing the carnage unfold. What a time to watch weekly.
And just one night later, the Cable TV industry had even more reason to celebrate, when VH1 aired its first-ever Divas Live special featuring Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Aretha Franklin (RIP) and Shania Twain, getting more viewers than RAW and Nitro combined!
That 2 week break felt like an eternity. I knew that this episode would be about the week that WWF beat WCW in the ratings after 83 weeks. I would have loved to been a fly in the room when Eric Bischoff saw that Raw beat Nitro that week. Yes, most of Raw was not good and WCW put on a better show, but on April 13th, 1998, I was very interested in the potential Steve Austin vs Vince McMahon match that ended being a bait and switch, but it was the right move to save that match for later.
Damn... Seeing Nitro lead heavily in the earlier episodes to now falling behind to Raw.... Just reflects the quality of the shows as wcw imploded after 98
I have to admit i was getting reliving the war cold sweats for those two weeks it wasn't on lol. I know content was still made available but this is the best series on classic pro wrestling history on youtube.
You’re right during this time Goldberg was insanely over. I remember between the music and just his size and aggression had my dad who isn’t a wrestling fan at all but would take me to matches on his feet amazed. That’s a true pop to me it’s one thing to get over with wrestling fans but when you can crossover with casuals or not wrestling fans at all that says a lot.
I've been recovering for the last week from having my wisdom teeth taken out, so all the uploads of PPV shows was a great way to spend all that resting time! Thanks so much for all the work you do ya absolute madman.
Man oh man.. have I missed this so much! Hopefully your break went well my man can't wait for Sunday! It's been a rough week so watching this after work was a real treat!
25:45 I'm convinced that Mr. Blackman, with his Omega level reflexes, saw decades into the future that you would be going on a two week break and adjusted his appearances on this episode accordingly to make up for it. We must not be denied our weekly mu'fuggin. Steve will not abide it.
I haven't even watched yet. I'm just here to say it felt like 2 lifetimes being without this. But alsonthanks for all the filler videos. Glad to have you back.
When I first saw how muscular McMahon is under that suit I was blown away. I had to research if he was previously a wrestler. The fact that he wasn't is even more impressive.
The Episode that Raw Finally beat Nitro with the Ratings after 83 week streak cause of Austin vs McMahon Rivalry kicking in Full Gear that pretty much turn the tides as we speak
Ayyy, welcome back! I’ve been loving the PPV reviews and other videos you posted while on break, but it’s great to have my favorite weekly series back.
yayy my first brand new reliving the war im gonna watch! cant believe i speedran all 128 episodes and ppvs in a month! keep up the great work man cant wait for next thursday! love from canada 🇨🇦
True story. I’m waiting to be seen at the doctors office and the intro started playing. Dude looks up and said you must be watching wrestling bios lol.
Great work as always, thanks for all you do helping relive some glory days of careless innocence. *Omg I was at this Nitro! junior high w/ friends all freaking out we’re near the entrance. Went to a slew of Raws and Nitros (and SummerSlam’99) through the mid to late 90s, it rocked. Bc of that I’d never seen this full Raw before only clips from historic moments. Fun to have you back!
Fun fact: Scorpio originally had the same Gimmick as Bianca Belair with how she swings her ponytail. Scorpio has an appendage in similar length however USA threatened to cancel the deal with WWE if air. Rumor has it that vince loved this gimmick and was gonna call him Scorpio the Python
YOU'RE BACK !? WE MISSED YOU BUD! Don't ever leave us that long again. That doesn't work for us, brother! Haha jk You supplied us with more than enough content to keep us busy. I was gonna ask how your time away was but you literally just said not to lol. Glad to see you're back WB!
Hope your vacation was amazing. But I’m so glad your back. I’ve been sitting here for two weeks waiting for my Thursday fix. Can’t wait to hear about your vacation bro.
Hope you had a good break! Thanks for all the amazing videos while you were on it and glad to see RTW back! Love this video! Thanks for everything you do! ❤❤❤
2 weeks felt like a year. We better appreciate this series while we can!
Fact check true ✅
We still have at least 2 years of content left to run through. Gah that's gonna be sad when we get there q.q
@@DyspotikOriginal Indeed. Maybe after he could do the Thursday Night Wars?
To be fair, there was so much other content that he provided during those two weeks that it seemed like no break at all.
@@NoirFan01 that's what I was saying too. One of the only youtubers I've seen to take a break but still release content
The reveal that McMahon was jacked is an underrated surprise in the Attitude Era. I remember thinking 'WTF?' because I assumed Vince was just an old guy in a suit.
I love the Steve Mufuggin Blackman arc! Not only did I love Blackman as a kid, I also have severe pulmonary issues when exposed to country music.
I just usually almost puke and run when I hear it
I will legitimately be sad when the war ends, this is one of the greatest RUclips series’s of all time
Still 3 years to go
I really hope after he takes some time off he covers some other wrestling wars like Early Raw vs Smackdown & the Short lived Wednesday night wars between AEW vs NXT
I'm gonna rewatch it
It'll be like the "war" ended all over again. This will be like the 2nd time I had to endure great wrestling come to an end.
It sucks because the great story lines really did come to an end shortly after the Monday night wars.
I hope he continues the series with Raw vs Smackdown after the brand split & show how the shows fluctuated in terms of quality over the years.
FINALLY!!! RELIVING THE WAR HAS COME BACK... TO RUclips!
I know I'm ready for more Chinlocks, more Disco and Saturday Wright Fever, more Steve Mufuggin' Blackman, and a whole bunch of Horseman Business from the Jam-Up Guy, Wrestling Bios!

HELLLZ YEAH. Thursday ain't Thursday without the Wrestlingbios drop 🔥🔥🔥
Drop it like it's Hot 🔥 🥵 🤪
That chinlock drop boi!
I was a wwf guy....i know there was wcw but wwf seemed to be more story telling then wcw bouncing around from story to just charasmatic none story telling wrestling.
I'm having a funeral service when it's all over. It's that significant to me.
@@LakeInTheDarkProductions
WCW - more wrestling
WWF - more detailed compelling story lines
Never knew the ratings switch happened so quickly after Austin became champ, he truly was on another level.
Seeing Bret Hart on WCW is just sad at this time.
I hate it 😤😢
I had a long out-of-state trip for work this week. So I saved up several reliving the war/PPV videos to listen to on the ride and keep me awake on the road. Thank you for saving my life, Wrestling Bios. Your work is unparalleled

Tony Schiavone's side walk slam... New t-shirt idea right there 👕
Wow, so many posts in the first minute. Just goes to show how in-demand these are. Keep up the great work as always!
And the series only getting better!
Can we get a separate counter as to how many consecutive weeks DDP had his ribs taped? I swear he had taped ribs for 3+ years straight.
😂 that Luger buff dance just had me spit out my morning coffee 😂😂😂
Absolutely historic episode. The 83 week streak for WCW is over.
Glad to have you back, hope you enjoyed the time off.
And just one night later, the Cable TV industry had even more reason to celebrate, when VH1 aired its first-ever Divas Live special featuring Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Aretha Franklin (RIP) and Shania Twain, getting more viewers than RAW and Nitro combined!
Good days are back ❤️
Reliving the war is back 😁
Every time there's an Owen appearance, I'm glued.
I'm truly appreciating these episodes, especially knowing what's to come..
Great to have this weekly banger appear on my feed once again🙏 hope that break was great Mr Bios.
Didn't even feel like you took a break because of how much content you still put out. So excited for the return!
Hope your break was good man! Thanks for all the quality uploads always and while you were on your break!
Hope you conducted Horsemen Business while you were gone
Absolutely 🤘💙
Thanks, Bios! After one month of binging this series, I've finally caught up to the current upload. Keep it up man, this series is amazing
I haven’t kept up with wrestling since the 90s but I watch every video you put out. Thanks for everything you do man.
Time for another episode of Reliving the War!
That 2 week break felt like an eternity. I knew that this episode would be about the week that WWF beat WCW in the ratings after 83 weeks. I would have loved to been a fly in the room when Eric Bischoff saw that Raw beat Nitro that week.
Yes, most of Raw was not good and WCW put on a better show, but on April 13th, 1998, I was very interested in the potential Steve Austin vs Vince McMahon match that ended being a bait and switch, but it was the right move to save that match for later.
I will never, EVER get tired of the Blackman match intro you have made. Hilarious and awesome.
The best return since the hardy boyz at wrestlemania. We welcome you back with open arms my friend.
THE KING HAS RETURNED
One of the few intros I will never skip. On any media.
Here we go. The episode where the 83 week streak ends for WCW.
This is it!! The night Raw defeated Nitro for the first time in the ratings since June 1996. It is all thanks to the Austin Vs McMahon feud mainly.
I hope you enjoyed your break Ryan, you deserved it
Damn... Seeing Nitro lead heavily in the earlier episodes to now falling behind to Raw.... Just reflects the quality of the shows as wcw imploded after 98
Did the episodes before the break to make sure he kept his word. I respect you Bio man
I have to admit i was getting reliving the war cold sweats for those two weeks it wasn't on lol. I know content was still made available but this is the best series on classic pro wrestling history on youtube.
that 2 week break felt like a WCW ECW invasion angle
Man Thursdays haven't been the same without reliving the war
I forgot how awesome Booker T was back then. One of my favs as a kid
I’m so happy we can have actual footage from wrestling bios!
The Quebecers. No not the Amazing French Canadians, the Quebecers... That line never gets old! 🤣
Mark Curtis is the most charismatic referee I ever seen. He’s everything Aubrey Edwards wishes to be.
You’re right during this time Goldberg was insanely over. I remember between the music and just his size and aggression had my dad who isn’t a wrestling fan at all but would take me to matches on his feet amazed. That’s a true pop to me it’s one thing to get over with wrestling fans but when you can crossover with casuals or not wrestling fans at all that says a lot.
Return Of The King. Glad to have these episodes back.
I've been recovering for the last week from having my wisdom teeth taken out, so all the uploads of PPV shows was a great way to spend all that resting time! Thanks so much for all the work you do ya absolute madman.
🎶 We tease him a lot
'cause we got him on the spot
welcome back!
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back! 🎶
25:12 the deadpan delivery of "Jerry Lawler thought this was absolutely amazing" killed me.
That Luger/Jericho comparison for Lenny Lane was so spot on 😂
The finger guns had me laughing so hard I had to pause the video. I am so glad Reliving the War is back!
No wonder the weather has turned so cold. Glacier is back.

Man oh man.. have I missed this so much! Hopefully your break went well my man can't wait for Sunday! It's been a rough week so watching this after work was a real treat!
An episode I've been looking forward to for a while
For…..83 weeks?
25:45 I'm convinced that Mr. Blackman, with his Omega level reflexes, saw decades into the future that you would be going on a two week break and adjusted his appearances on this episode accordingly to make up for it.

I haven't even watched yet. I'm just here to say it felt like 2 lifetimes being without this. But alsonthanks for all the filler videos. Glad to have you back.
Yes!!!! Thursday is complete once again 🎉
Welcome back WB! Hope you had a restful well deserved time off. Thank you for all the extra videos you gave us while you were gone.
When I first saw how muscular McMahon is under that suit I was blown away. I had to research if he was previously a wrestler. The fact that he wasn't is even more impressive.
I was not expecting him to be so jacked
I see Wrestling Bios Reliving the War notification, I watch and enjoy
The Episode that Raw Finally beat Nitro with the Ratings after 83 week streak cause of Austin vs McMahon Rivalry kicking in Full Gear that pretty much turn the tides as we speak
I've seen others saying this, 2 weeks for some reason feels much longer. I genuinely love watching this series & it's a highlight to my Thursdays.
Ayyy, welcome back! I’ve been loving the PPV reviews and other videos you posted while on break, but it’s great to have my favorite weekly series back.
yayy my first brand new reliving the war im gonna watch! cant believe i speedran all 128 episodes and ppvs in a month! keep up the great work man cant wait for next thursday! love from canada 🇨🇦
Haha it felt like a month for two weeks without this. Thanks @wrestlingbios
This summer in a few weeks from now is when I first started watching WWF.
The greatest series on RUclips is back!
What a comeback. I love this improved Intro Theme :)
The longest winter break is finally over. Welcome back to the longer running wrestling show on RUclips. Thank you for your work.
Imagine if Flair went to WWF in 1998
Ohhhh we back IS WE BACK? YEP💥💥 gotta love my Thursdays
I'm stuck at home with the coof rn. This upload made my day
Welcome back!!! Man, that felt like a lifetime.
I think the greatest moment of Wrestling Bios Career will be the day Mr. Lloyd does a guest appearance for RTW.
Welcome back miss the last two weeks without relieving the war
Nothing like reliving the war . I enjoy every upload .
REmember everyone. Only 146 weeks of the war left and 65 PPV's. enjoy it while you can.
i hope there's a new series that covers the ruthless aggression era afterwards
Good to have this nostalgic series back. Hope vacation was nice and I look forward to watching WWF take the lead in the war
30:50 "he must be the "hardest" working man in Hollywood" I spit my drink out when I heard that line. Well done sir!
Oh snap didn't realize you were back. Welcome back you have been missed brother. Hope you enjoyed your vacation.
Welcome back hope you enjoyed. We’ve missed you
So glad you got some rest! Because NOW the war heats up! So excited!!
Severn, Shamrock, and Steve Mufuggin' Blackman in one place at the same time is a _terrifying_ thought.
We love you! Thank you for coming back!
True story. I’m waiting to be seen at the doctors office and the intro started playing. Dude looks up and said you must be watching wrestling bios lol.
Welcome back, hope you're rested and refreshed!!!
Welcome back bios 👍
Thursdays aren't the same without the best series on all of youtube!! Glad you're back and i hope you see how loved your channel is. GIMME A HELL YEAH
Great work as always, thanks for all you do helping relive some glory days of careless innocence. *Omg I was at this Nitro! junior high w/ friends all freaking out we’re near the entrance. Went to a slew of Raws and Nitros (and SummerSlam’99) through the mid to late 90s, it rocked.
Bc of that I’d never seen this full Raw before only clips from historic moments. Fun to have you back!
Yesssssssssssss. Hope you had a great break but I'm really glad to have Reliving The War back!
Damn, the week that the streak ended. Makes you realize that eventually this amazing RUclips series will end one day, I’m not ready for that.
The triumphant return of the best series on RUclips!!
Fun fact: Scorpio originally had the same Gimmick as Bianca Belair with how she swings her ponytail. Scorpio has an appendage in similar length however USA threatened to cancel the deal with WWE if air. Rumor has it that vince loved this gimmick and was gonna call him Scorpio the Python
YOU'RE BACK !? WE MISSED YOU BUD! Don't ever leave us that long again. That doesn't work for us, brother! Haha jk
You supplied us with more than enough content to keep us busy. I was gonna ask how your time away was but you literally just said not to lol.
Glad to see you're back WB!
Hope your vacation was amazing. But I’m so glad your back. I’ve been sitting here for two weeks waiting for my Thursday fix. Can’t wait to hear about your vacation bro.
FINALLY.. The goat of wrestling uploads, has come back.....home
Let's go Reliving The War is Back !!!
*Hey thanks for those 6 hr WWF and WCW PPVs .. you put out during your .. well deserved Break.
Hope you had a good break! Thanks for all the amazing videos while you were on it and glad to see RTW back! Love this video! Thanks for everything you do! ❤❤❤
Shamrock, Ron Simmons, and Steve Blackman teaming up. I'd call that "People to Run Away From".
Thursdays have become my favorite day of the week. Wrestling bios and pay day come together and make me smile. Awesome sausem
I’ve been working my ass off lately and this is exactly what I need to relax WELCOME BACK
Vince must've been happy after finally beating nitro since 1996
Welcome back man. Been looking forward to RTW being back.
Dude we appreciate you bunches. My big Raw after 18.
Please take any breaks needed and we will be patient
