Yeah. Thursday is definitely my favorite day of the week. All my good RUclips videos come out Thursday through Sunday but Thursday is always the best day
The Ministry of Darkness was one of the most well-constructed wrestling stables of all time. Everyone had a distinct role. Mideon and Viscera were the goon squad, good for disposing of low-level threats and gatekeeping access to the upper ranks. The Brood were the specialists, the hit squad who could operate independently and strike from out of nowhere. The Acolytes were the elite soldiers, the deadly right hand of the Lord of Darkness. Then you have the undisputed leader, the Undertaker, with Paul Bearer as his wise man. There are video games with less well-established villain teams than this.
the next month or so is the best with the group. Stephanie's teddy bear. Vinnie Mac breaking down in tears...and then they screw it up a little bit after Mania
I've watched 170 episodes of RTW in the last 5 weeks to catch up, and in no way was that a poor use of my limited time on earth. Cheers for your hard work and this amazing content.
I just finished earning my Bachelor of Science degree in accounting and finance. Through this degree plan, WrestlingBios and the RTW series has been an essential part of keeping my spirits up. You make people happy Ryan.
You don't really see it here, but the hanging spot during the Brood match, Gangrel later mentioned that he messed up the grabbing of the noose and legit was being choked out. He thought there and then that he was in serious trouble as he obviously couldn't communicate he couldn't breathe but Mideon saw this pretty quickly and lifted him whilst making it look like he was pulling down to give him enough loose rope to get his fingers fully between the noose and his windpipe. You can see the panic briefly in his eyes as he hits the floor.
Glad to know im not the only one who found her always good looking despite how wwe presented her. Despite that her contribution was big. She helped get the female locker room to be taken seriously and be given more chance. And she sure was badass. I hope shes in heaven smiling see all these new tough girls in the business. Chyna vs Beth pheonix 👁️👄👁️ oh lawd
I just wanted to take the time out to say that your work is greatly appreciated! The amount of time and effort and attention to detail that goes into these videos does not go unnoticed. To me these times were truly the greatest to be a wrestling fan and every time I watch, it takes me back to being a kid again, the greatest nostalgia, keep up the satisfactory work!!!
I keep forgetting just how big the Ministry became, I mostly remember the Acolytes, Vicera and Mideon, but totally forget The Brood was in it also, which in hindsight makes the Taker VS Edge rivalry almost 9 years later even more iconic. And then WWE had to mess it up by creating the Corporate Ministry which wasn't needed, they had such success without needing an oversized stable like the NWO, yet decided to still go down that route and do literally the same gimmick, which luckily barely lasted months as opposed to years like the NWO did.
WWE should pay you to have this Reliving the War shown on their channel or Network. You done a great job every time and it's very entertaining. Thanks for you time and effort putting all together. 🏆💪
Another awesome episode of Reliving the war this series is amazing these episodes of Raw and Smackdown were awesome rewatching it 24-years later great stuff as always.
I've been patiently waiting through the whole series for this episode. This was the first episode of Raw I ever seen. Nice little trip down memory lane
IMHO, everyone talks fondly about the "Attitude Era" and I've been catching up on past episodes that I either forgot about or are seeing for the first time through this great series (btw THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH @wrestlingBios) and after watching up to this point. I have to say honestly...there were times where BOTH WWE and WCW were hit and misses, and if WCW made better choices. They would have beaten the WWE several more times
If you are running out of ideas for the Road Dog, Breat Hart "Shut up " segment.... I used to love the X files Interactive video game back in the 90s.- It has some unintentionally funny death / game over scenes. For example you would get FMV footage of someone jumping out behind a truck to shout the playable character to death for walking into the wrong place. Did anyone play this game back in the day?
These are the first big wrestling shows to happen after I was born, a fact that has hit me while watching the last few episodes and makes me feel a little bit older
I install satellite TV in Minnesota and I just met Scott Nortons old manager a couple months ago. He had a ton of old stories of him. Us MN fans love our MN wrestlers
I remember the Cat vs Scott Norton.. I couldn't stop laughing the minute you featured the match because I immediately had a flashback to 20+ years ago and how hard those chops were.. me and my best friend were dyin' the whole match. Definitely worth finding that match and watching it in it's entirety if you wanna laugh so hard you start crying 🤣😂
I love how just a year and a half ago Nash was making fun of the Horsemen for being old, and here's Rey Mysterio saying he grew up watching Nash on TV.
I can't believe i'm at the end of the playlist, It's been a ride, Pity about the 4 hidden videos, Guess I need to wait for more now, What am I gonna do with my free time lol
Scott Norton is one of those guys I wouldn't have wanted to get in the ring with. It's like he knew it was a work but didn't care. Right up there with Bruiser Brody and Abdullah and New Jack.
Sandman in any company other than ECW doesn't work because nobody else could use Metallica's Enter Sandman. That was his attraction. His matches were secondary.
I'm not complaining by any means but Sandman on Nitro made me think: have you considered any sort of series about ECW? Something similar to this series would be interesting, and I thought of it because I was going 'what was ECW up to during all this?'
Have I missed those early appearances of Stacy Kiebler in the crowd at Nitro? Always thought it was cool that she was there as a fan before working there
As far as I’m considered, every Reliving the War upload is my countdown to the weekend. My favorite part of Thursday has begun!
Yeah. Thursday is definitely my favorite day of the week. All my good RUclips videos come out Thursday through Sunday but Thursday is always the best day
Facts. Gonna feel surreal when he finally goes into 2001.
Definitely.
I forgot it was Thurs until I saw this at the top of my feed
Agreed. It happened so gradually, but now I feel a shiver of excitement when a new one drops.
Patterson and Brisco in those damn cowboy outfits had me DYING. You could tell they had a blast filming those segments.

Then you have the undisputed leader, the Undertaker, with Paul Bearer as his wise man.
There are video games with less well-established villain teams than this.
They might have been a villain team, but I was on Undertaker's side lol
And then, they ruined the stable and the Undertaker persona.
Yes, perfect…except for the payoff. That’s what people remember, understandably.
@@JM1993951 imagine if we got Jake the Snake as the "Higher power" like it was originally planned
It would of been a great payoff
the next month or so is the best with the group. Stephanie's teddy bear. Vinnie Mac breaking down in tears...and then they screw it up a little bit after Mania
I've watched 170 episodes of RTW in the last 5 weeks to catch up, and in no way was that a poor use of my limited time on earth. Cheers for your hard work and this amazing content.
Right on
My exact same journey bud... What a ride the binge was
I realize this was in the most exhausting part of the NWO story, but Vincent passing the buck so Disco gets beaten is actually pretty funny.
That Vincent/Disco slap spot on Nitro had me dying of laughter. That right there stole the show 😂
I just finished earning my Bachelor of Science degree in accounting and finance.
Through this degree plan, WrestlingBios and the RTW series has been an essential part of keeping my spirits up.
You make people happy Ryan.
Woulda been funnier if Vince found David Flair and Hogan found Stone Cold 😊
but Hogan already found Stone Cold
You don't really see it here, but the hanging spot during the Brood match, Gangrel later mentioned that he messed up the grabbing of the noose and legit was being choked out.

You can see the panic briefly in his eyes as he hits the floor.
Hogan on the plane might be my new favorite meme.
Come for the wrestling, stay for the jam
Come for the Jam, stay for the wrestling
Come for the jam, stay for the Horsemen Business
Come for Smokey the cat. Stay for Smokey the cat .
It’s always pleasant to remember how good Chyna looked during this time… great adolescent memories. RIP Joanie
Glad to know im not the only one who found her always good looking despite how wwe presented her.
Despite that her contribution was big. She helped get the female locker room to be taken seriously and be given more chance. And she sure was badass.
I hope shes in heaven smiling see all these new tough girls in the business.
Chyna vs Beth pheonix 👁️👄👁️ oh lawd
Chyna was gorgeous! Always had a crush on the 9th Wonder of the World.
"Smokey! It just uploaded! Get in here!"
love the idea that Foley came out with the bandage OVER his mask as if drs treated him with the mask on
The whole Bischoff in a dunk tank needed to be shown at about a half speed faster, with "Yakkity Sax" playing over it.
I just wanted to take the time out to say that your work is greatly appreciated! The amount of time and effort and attention to detail that goes into these videos does not go unnoticed. To me these times were truly the greatest to be a wrestling fan and every time I watch, it takes me back to being a kid again, the greatest nostalgia, keep up the satisfactory work!!!
Also Mick Foley was on today's Hot Ones!!!!
👍
Was great
D-Lo telling the doctor not to "kayfabe him" is 100% Russo

This honestly my favorite part of the work week. I always get a sub and watch this series before I clock in for work
Love how your vids have increased in length with this series. More info, incite, inside jokes, love it all!
Who cant wait to see the debut of Torrie 😍😍
Thursday evenings are always better with this series
Thursdays feels like what the Monday night wars was like back then which was a good time to be a fan.
Another awesome episode of Reliving the war this series is amazing these episodes of Raw and Smackdown were awesome rewatching it 24-years later great stuff as always.
I contend that if Bobby Heenan was in all WCW segments doing physical comedy, WCW would still be in business.
25:52 Did you know that essentially something messed up when doing the noose spot with Gangrel and Mideon legitimately saved him from suffocating?
Conan joined the nWo by attacking Rey. Apparently Rey has forgotten this now 🤦♂️
I’ve always hated these kind of continuity issues in wrestling
Right?! Didn't he 'break his leg' after Rey's match AGAINST Nash? 🙄🙄
I just imagined Conan O'Brien in the nWo 😂
That's a WCW issue for sure
He helped out Rey a week or so earlier so it’s water under the bridge
That was 2 years ago
That Power Move Pro Wrestling music is so nostalgic and refreshing
I had overtime tomorrow, but it got cancelled, so now i can fully enjoy this Reliving the War lol. Thanks again.
I pretty much feel about Thursdays how I used to feel about Mondays 🔥
I've been patiently waiting through the whole series for this episode. This was the first episode of Raw I ever seen. Nice little trip down memory lane
After a long hard day of work, I get to relax by watching Reliving The War
That ducktales game was so much fun. Ahh memories 😊. Thanks for the throwback!
Ducktales whoooooo!

The ministry is growing...love to see it.
These are the first big wrestling shows to happen after I was born, a fact that has hit me while watching the last few episodes and makes me feel a little bit older
I remember playing some knockoff games with stars like Crispen Wah and Hull Kogan. Good stuff
"Choke or be Choken!!!" 😂
Another week, another great Reliving the War video!
I install satellite TV in Minnesota and I just met Scott Nortons old manager a couple months ago. He had a ton of old stories of him. Us MN fans love our MN wrestlers
Can’t wait for RTW when WCW 2000 rolls around lol
I can't believe I forgot about Lash LaRoux. Truly one of the greats who never won it all.
He's also a pretty good artist, and had a regular side gig with the Apter magazines.
YES! I kid you not, I just thought "I wonder when the new RTW will drop" and BOOM! Thank you for all the hard work you put into this for us!
Every Thursday
@@PhilTeoli right......I meant what time, not what day.
@@InfectiousGroovePodcast ah, here in eastern Canada it is usually roughly around 1 pm. Give it take an hour.
Thank you for your hard work on these videos keep it up man!
Happy retirement STING what a wrestler and legend .so many memories over the past 36 years
Legend.
He's not retiring until March 2024 so we still have until then
I remember watching that Scott Norton match. It looked like a sasquatch beating up a scarecrow. One my favorite WCW matches of all time!
Always look forward to these, it always makes my week. The Mcmahon looking for Austin segment was great. Too many funny scenes lol
I remember the Cat vs Scott Norton.. I couldn't stop laughing the minute you featured the match because I immediately had a flashback to 20+ years ago and how hard those chops were.. me and my best friend were dyin' the whole match. Definitely worth finding that match and watching it in it's entirety if you wanna laugh so hard you start crying 🤣😂
Victoria Texan here I can assure you that’s not Victoria 😂😂😂
I literally wait every week for the next episode. I love this series
Gangrel mentioned in a shoot interview that he nearly died as he was legit unable to breathe while being hung. It's on RUclips.
I’ve always loved Scott Norton beat downs. Side note, he was the best character in WCW/nWo World Tour for N64
I love how just a year and a half ago Nash was making fun of the Horsemen for being old, and here's Rey Mysterio saying he grew up watching Nash on TV.
man i loved Lash LaRoux 's matches criminally underated.
So glad you've brought back the "I like it raw" outro.
Last time I was this early, people drank Bud Light without embarrassment.
Fun fact: This Raw and Nitro took place five days before I was born.
Pretty awesome seeing Fang Mcfrost at 9:14. Super rare sighting. Maybe we’ll get to see Chilly Mcfreeze soon!
Mankind is concerned about Debra's puppies offers her a sweater. How kind!
30:38 I lost it 😂😂😂😂
I can't believe i'm at the end of the playlist, It's been a ride, Pity about the 4 hidden videos, Guess I need to wait for more now, What am I gonna do with my free time lol
I'm shocked that Raw was still having pre-taped shows this late into the War
Very rushed for the build up to Wrestlemania and Wrestlers who are unable to go in other shows is still tough.
Sets Teams status to "Busy"
Scott Norton is one of those guys I wouldn't have wanted to get in the ring with. It's like he knew it was a work but didn't care. Right up there with Bruiser Brody and Abdullah and New Jack.
It was Thursday night and you know what that means! Reliving The War is back once again!
Miss Elizabeth was at her peak in 1999. 😍
Wcw had the best in-ring action, but WWF/E has the best storylines & characters
Its incredible how Benoit played double duty on this day
I adore the old outro music! Just need the old ending montage back now.
You can still refer to him as "The Sandman" from here on out. I don't think anyone would mind. I couldn't stand calling him "Hak."
The Road Dogg / Bret "Shut Up" clips kill me every time :D
Wrestling Bios... I ACKNOWLEDGE YOU!!! ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾
Good thing I saw The Halftime Heat Title Match before this.
18:14 That's the hustle of someone who regretted the spot the moment they started it but doesn't have enough pull to not go through with it.
When Lash LaRoux came out, I thought it was Jericho at first and I thought he cut and dyed his hair. 😂
Sandman in any company other than ECW doesn't work because nobody else could use Metallica's Enter Sandman. That was his attraction. His matches were secondary.
"A big poppa pump handle slam...ähh"!
I died at the ducktales nes joke!🤣😂🤣😂😂
When does Raw switch to being live permanently?
Can't wait for next week's episode. I was at the Raw in Toronto.
That Lo down was a thing of beauty.
Wrestling Bios uploading every Thursday is Big Bratwurst energy
My new favorite thing in the world is you putting Bret Hart in the DuckTales game.
Didnt expect to see jim norton as the jam up guy
nice to see lil’ yimmy is still expanding his legendary collection of celebrity photos to this very day
Benoit's mullet does the job
I'm not complaining by any means but Sandman on Nitro made me think: have you considered any sort of series about ECW? Something similar to this series would be interesting, and I thought of it because I was going 'what was ECW up to during all this?'
I remember both episodes. It looks about right. I remember when the brood joined the ministry and the cat called out scottnorton.
WB making the joke we were all thinking of at 30:40.
I want a war! Every week I get one!!🎉
Have I missed those early appearances of Stacy Kiebler in the crowd at Nitro? Always thought it was cool that she was there as a fan before working there
31:15: A Disney’s DuckTales reference! Kudos to Disney and Capcom for that!
Fun game!
Lol no lie I know it’s Thursday when I see Reliving The War is back 😂
“Lukewarm uhh..,Steven Hoffman? IDK…” 👏🏻😆🤣😂 Holy hell, dude. I’m still cracking up 🤣
That northern lights powerslam move was pretty cool !
Gangrel was choking for real there, Mideon had to hold him up to save him from going unconscious
Sandman went by "Hak" backstage long before he went to wcw
WB makes Thursday the best day of the week
Wrestling Bios is an animal! An Animal! An Animal!
