We are getting ever so close to the end of the Davey Boy Smith Chinlocks era as Survivor Series is just around the corner. I hope something is planned for the final graphic drop.
It’s a joke about two blockbuster movies HHH stared in 2011 called “Inside Out,” and “The Chaperone.” WB recently reviewed both movies in separate videos.
@@firstlast-ns2qo even without the others telling you what the joke was, I gotta ask: how did you see 14 years of hard time, a comment about pickles and another about becoming a chaperone and think to argue it by mentioning you used to watch wrestling back then?
If only SCSA never got his neck snapped. What a worker he was before that happened. Could still go with the best after it happened but just like Pilmen they just lost that half step.
Little known fact about the first Friday Night's Main Event, it was the last occasion Paul Bearer was in Vader's corner before being 100% exclusive to Kane.
Yes Ryan is his name and he did an introduction video awhile back…. I’ve been following him since there was less than 10k members on his channel. His videos and content are superb!!
This was a great watch, and no need to apologize for the quality of the videos. For me personally, it was an awesome memory because it looked just like that when I watched it back then in my old apartment on my old tv, and it put a huge smile on my face.
It's because he never landed flat on his back. Just upper hip and elbow is actually kinda weird and it doesn't look like it hurts at all. Just the style is nice
I went to the tapings both part of the same live show in Chicago. Including dark matches the event took like 5 hours back when 5 hour shows were rare went from like 7pm-12am. We were confused because we thought it was just a house show and every top star wrestled 2-3 times it's like them again. Once they started cutting promos we should have realized it was on tv but it was awesome seeing classic WWF filming multiple shows in one night. One of my more memorable live WWE experiences because of it's uniqueness even though most big matches ended in dqs or countouts due to it leading up to a ppv goes to show you don't need 5 start matches and glitz and glamour to have fun. Thanks for talking about it seems to be forgotten in the bigger picture. But was such a memorable show for me personally. I think the dark match main event was Bret Hart vs Undertaker for the title... Of course it ended in DQ haha
As a guitar player/music lover the music on the channel I love hearing the no mercy stuff in the background I sometimes picture the wwf no mercy body mannerisms in real life scenarios
I love that you change the intro occasionally to update the show along with how the intros would change. Just gets me excited before the video even starts.
I just realized that today is the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Hart Foundation. I remember me along with millions of Americans being called dirty stinkin’ filthy rotten hyenas. In all seriousness, I am glad to have been old enough to have watched and remember this live. WWF and WCW were all the rage in my elementary school. Truly magical times.
Steve Casey aka Shawn Casey is a friend of mine. Ive worked numerous shows with him over the years (im a commentator/ring announcer) and he also lives about 20 mins from me. We run into eachother some between working shows together still.
@@DomCalandra actually recently i started in 2009 and have worked Indies as well as some Impact C Shows but the indie ones ive worked with him on were in OH and WV between 2014 to 2020
Ive been caught up for about a week now and it sucks not being able to binge what I havent seen yet now lol. I was so happy to see this today. Cannot wait for sunday. I love that Austin care package promo as well. One thing I will correct on that note is that he wasnt shooting a crossbow, it is a compound bow. Still love the fact that he had Owen on the ass and he shot JR in his lil Boomer Sooner😂 I just subscribed to the Patreon the other night and I cannot wait for the next episode. Cheers man, keep em coming!
Just a quick comment on the intro change. Intro is 🔥 as usual, but great pull for the Sgt Slaughter sell of stunner. I've always thought that sell made the move look super brutal, underrated in a world of people flip, flop, and flying more than any Quebecer after taking the move 👍
WCW definitely wins the points for these two weeks. Michinoku, Stone Cold and Brian Pillman were the only standouts. Cheers and chinlocks !!! Good job on RTW!
3:05 thats a nice way to put it lol. It's kind of interesting how that word used to be far less forbidden back then. I remember hearing people say it quite often back then. Not to me, of course.
24:34 ends of the video with the Davey Boy Smith chin lock song... Me: yelling "Davey Boy Smith Chin lock!" While shaking my tush and mopping the kitchen floor. 🤣
The Patriot said "I'm not going to stand by and let anyone get triple teamed" rumor has it that the Patriot broke into Sunny's hotel room to stop Hunter, HBK, and Vince from triple teaming Sunny.....dear God.....
During the summer of 97 the WWF aired a Summerslam special and the fall of 97 they aired a Survivor Series special, both in USA network. That inspirational music that played at the end of this Friday Night's Main Event, I believe that played during one or both of those said specials.
WWF was CONSTANTLY being pre-empted back then for stupid stuff on USA. For a while there, it seemed that USA couldn't go a month without making WWF miss at least one week. There was tennis, baseball, and strangely enough, some dog show, that kept on replacing it. I remember how that damn dog show pissed me off. The damn dog show got shown instead of WWF for two Monday nights in a row! I remember coming home from a really hard day at work, sitting down with a beer, and all I wanted to do was enjoy my beer and watch some wrestling to relax. I turned on the TV, and instead of Stone Cold, and The Rock, what greeted me was this large, round, old lady, holding her arm out shoulder height, at armed length, holding a leash that was attached to a tiny dust mop. Then she said, "WOOOOOOOCHEEEEEES!!!" and started walking, pulling the dust mop with her. And she kept saying, "WOOOOOOOOOOCHEEEEEEEES!" over and over again. I could feel my left eye start twitching. So I was denied my wrestling because of "WOOOOOOCHEEEES!" that Monday. So then, the next Monday, I went to watch my wrestling again... AND THERE WERE THOSE DAMN DOGS AGAIN!!!! I was so pissed!!!
I delayed watching this video so it could be my reward to myself for getting thru a wisdom teeth extraction with a Meng Manly meter at full capacity. Thank You
I don't know if its just the video quality, but wow, the show did not match the energy that RAW has been building over the last few months. I guess it was better than not airing for 2 weeks and letting WCW be all wrestling people would tune into. Anyways, another great episode from WB. Great job.
I watched every episode of Raw n Nitro during this time and even all thru my adulthood ive watched countless reruns on the Network n all over the years BUT Never knew these happened at all.
"No tramps in the dressing room, especially American ones." LMAO Bret Hart had me rolling.
So true lol. Sunny was a bloody slag!!!!
Haa!
He really was one of the best in and out of the ring.
😆👍
Even funnier when you stop and realize Davey was cheating on Brets sister with Sunny.
@@willigagbob8243 true and Bret wasn't joking he legit felt that way about sunny 😂
@@xenairesShe was hot as hell back then, but it's always the mental game with chicks like her.
"No tramps in the dressing room. Especially American ones!"
That just made my day.
Get Oot, get oot of here Lol!
She was looking for Davey I think…
Honestly would've been fine with Bret and Owen as a tag team in 98.. They work so well together
This is one of the most unsung brilliant STONE COLD promo's ... I'm so glad you found this!
It sure is….”anymore questions? Then get the hell out”
I will never get tired of the Davey Boy Smith Chinlocks™ bit.
We are getting ever so close to the end of the Davey Boy Smith Chinlocks era as Survivor Series is just around the corner. I hope something is planned for the final graphic drop.
I've been watching his videos since the beginning of reliving the war and I must say it's the chin lock bit that got me hooked.
Scott Hall's intro gives me chills everytime
Yeah. Hits different now too.
After the match, HHH did 14 years of hard time. After his release, he developed a craving for pickles and became a chaperone. What a lad.
@@firstlast-ns2qo He did
It’s a joke about two blockbuster movies HHH stared in 2011 called “Inside Out,” and “The Chaperone.” WB recently reviewed both movies in separate videos.
@@ThunderBunny30 Hunter never did a movie, he'd suplex them firsty
@@ThunderBunny30 It's been a real funny bit with those movies
@@firstlast-ns2qo even without the others telling you what the joke was, I gotta ask: how did you see 14 years of hard time, a comment about pickles and another about becoming a chaperone and think to argue it by mentioning you used to watch wrestling back then?
I better watch this quick before it gets struck. Cheers, Vince.
Yeah man notification squad!!
Vince: You snooze, you lose
Vince screwed Vince 🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha gajab durvyavastha hai babu bhaiya
"No one sends me cheer! Who the hell does he think he is? Where is that sonofabitch?!"
97 was a great year in wrestling
Sure was.
The greatest ever IMO.
@@martynodonnell8467 probably so, both WCW and WWE were firing on all cylinders especially the second half of the year.
@@martynodonnell8467 I agree.
If only SCSA never got his neck snapped. What a worker he was before that happened. Could still go with the best after it happened but just like Pilmen they just lost that half step.

Davey Boy RIP.
Chinlocking his way through heaven.
Im old school so i like the grainy look honestly. Makes it feel more nostalgic
Remember when we were just fine with that quality at the time
I'm with you there, in fact I prefer it now. High Def took away a lot of atmosphere
Its going to be difficult this week with no Saturday Wright Fever, but i'm fairly sure this will be another great Reliving The War.
At least we got Davey Boy Smith Chinlocks.
@@PhenomsServant4 Good point! 😁
So RockaBilly doesn't do it for ya? LOL
@@PhenomsServant4 I was just about to say that when I saw this comment.
No big bratvurst here
You could use 16 bit pixel characters as long as you do commentary. Absolutely, hilarious and very entertaining.
Hey, what about Bulldog replacing Sabin in FF6, but instead of the train being suplexed, the train dies from Bulldog giving the train a chinlock.
Hes done that with the game reviews 🤣
FINALLY, a Davey Boy Smith chinlock...YES!!
Keep them coming Ryan🔥🔥
Best Series on RUclips 🙌🏻
Ich kann da nur zustimmen der Kanal ist überaus unterhaltsam.
It’s true…it’s damn true!

Ya know, I love the way Mick does DDTs. IDK what it is but something about them just makes them special and look so good.
His ddt’s, steel step bumps on the outside, and little front jabs to the face all looked so good.
@@musc1esman i wince every time i see his calf clip steel steps! Great performer
I would guess that years of taking stiff (wrong) shots from guts like Hanson gave him a better insight, just my two cents.
double arm ddt
It's because he never landed flat on his back. Just upper hip and elbow is actually kinda weird and it doesn't look like it hurts at all. Just the style is nice
New intro? Excited for this, my favorite wrestling channel by far
The amount of run ins was just insane

Saturday Night Main Event
Boston Garden
Hulk Hogan vs Bis Boss Man Steel Cage...late 80's
That was my 1st wresling event ever
That was a great match. Superplex right off the cage.
@@TheEman590 YES! I remembered the place going insane (i was only 8ish), after that I was hooked
Nice first show to attend.
I'm glad you made this video because I'm rewatching the Monday night wars and these episodes aren't included on peacock and this helped fill the gaps
That chinlock theme song at the end needs to be my life theme! I demand it be played at my funeral.
I knew it wouldn’t be a wrestling bio video without a Davey Boy chinlock lol lol love it
"Right in the vader bombs!" 😅 genius, sir.
It still blows my mind that Rockabilly went on for so long! It felt like it lasted 1 raw back in the day lol
Facts! Lol I dead ass forgot about it until I started watching RTW
That's a "compound bow", sir, not a crossbow.
But thanks anyway and as always for the best wrestling channel on RUclips.
I love that you change the intro occasionally to update the show along with how the intros would change. Just gets me excited before the video even starts.
The quality honestly makes me feel like I’m watching the show on my old antenna tv again ❤️❤️
That's how it should be
Love the intro brother, well done!
Ain't nothing more proper than seeing a "Davey Boy Smith Chinlock"
You have the best wrestling videos on RUclips....you cover everything. Keep up the good work.
HBK's promo here was absolutely fantastic. One of the best of the year. He was on another level in 1997. So good.
Dude the fact you found these at all is amazing thank you so much!
Love the new intro Ryan! It’s a shame no Saturday Wright Fever is here but this is still gonna be another great episode of Reliving the War!
Is that his name?
@@thomassalas5191 yes it is watch the q&a video and he reveals his name
I just realized that today is the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Hart Foundation. I remember me along with millions of Americans being called dirty stinkin’ filthy rotten hyenas. In all seriousness, I am glad to have been old enough to have watched and remember this live. WWF and WCW were all the rage in my elementary school. Truly magical times.
Yep. I feel really lucky to have been 12 years old in 1997.
Not the debut but I know what u mean
True. It wasn’t the debut but it was when they became established with that memorable night on Raw.
I just realized something. I thought it was Davey Boy who had the chinlock addiction problem, but it was actually me. I missed the chinlocks.
Me too I need my daily dose of Chinlocks to function properly 🤣
Curious to know what ratings they got on those Friday nights
Steve Casey aka Shawn Casey is a friend of mine. Ive worked numerous shows with him over the years (im a commentator/ring announcer) and he also lives about 20 mins from me. We run into eachother some between working shows together still.
Indie in KY in the mid 90s?
@@DomCalandra actually recently i started in 2009 and have worked Indies as well as some Impact C Shows but the indie ones ive worked with him on were in OH and WV between 2014 to 2020
We appreciate you tracking footage from these shows down. WWE probably forgot they existed.
This is honestly the NFL films of wrestling. WWE should give you access to the archives.
“The camera is then cut off, but Rude handed Sunny a test kit for gonorrhea” 😂
man its crazy how just 4 months prior Shawn was running in with a chair to save Austin from the Harts
Can't wait for ground zero. I got that ppv when I was a teen. Patriot vs the hitman is underrated. That crowd was hot that night.
EVERY night is a good night for chin lockin! 😂 great upload, as always

Watching it fast and quick, got ol Vinnie taking strikes
it is once again time to say that reliving the war is the best content in all of wrestling, not just RUclips.
'I won't stand by and let anyone get triple teamed' I wonder how many times the Patriot tried to save sunny?
Stone Cold running around swearing is important memory 😂
This series is my new Game of thrones. Never miss it
these Friday night main events are the equivalent to doing your school project the night before it is due
14:53, I think you meant to say compound bow and not cross bow. Other than that though, great video as always!

Good job on RTW!
It's unfair. These WWF shows were not on prime time but started at 11pm. This is why the second hours are terrible.
Taka was a beast. I loved his matches wit Essa Rios
@@dominiquejones3805
Mannnnnn!
Absolutely love how the Opening has been evolving over the series.
😄👍
I wonder if Davey got mad at Bret for kicking Sunny out of the locker room
I was literally just refreshing my feed waiting for reliving the war...Just in time😂👍🏾
Wow this is Awesome. I feel like I'm watching lost missing media during a hot time in wrestling. If RAW wasn't on I would just watch Nitro.
For the final Davey Boy Smith chinlock before he leaves the WWF in 1997, that inspirational music at the end of this video should be played instead.
3:05 thats a nice way to put it lol. It's kind of interesting how that word used to be far less forbidden back then. I remember hearing people say it quite often back then. Not to me, of course.
Freakin' Bret Hart, even more legendary after that "No tramps in the dressing room, especially American ones"...lmao
In three weeks: McMahon takes his first “Stunner”. Can’t wait!
Really appreciate all the work you've put in to this channel. So entertaining!!

@8:30 brilliant promo by the undertaker. Very clever word play
You can see how the shows were getting more risqué
Seeing the end of the Michaels promo with him looking at the camera threw me back to how they used that clip for one of WWE '13's cutscenes early on
Great vid and great narration man! Keep up da good work

Yoooo Bret is a savage for what he said to sunny. “No tramps in the dressing room…..especially americans.” Davey Boy Smith Chinlock is back
The aesthetics of the show looks like late 1996-early 1997
At the time, I cared deeply about the doa getting their bikes back from los boricuas...
August 29, 1997. That date sounds so familiar. Where have I heard it before? 🤔🤖

Yeah. FNME was dead AF.
I've been waiting all week for this
4:42…then he needs to get to the back and help Sunny.
Always love the new intros you do keep up the good work man
that was the best DAVEY BOY SMITH CHINLOCK segue ever!!!
In hindsight that taker promo foreshadowed him retiring HBK
"kicks him right in his Vader bombs" best line of the video 😂🤣😂🤣
Also gotta love the Davey boy chin lock spots
I remember watching this back in the 1900's. Steve Austin followed up his archery demo with a pistol grip shotgun.
The 1900’s was the best century- not counting the first half or both world wars/ the last 3 decades were amazing
@@TomDeLaCruz my parents often remind me the 80s was the best time in modern history
Jerry Lynn is one of the most underrated wrestlers of all time. He should have been pushed to the moon!
Love the mash up of both Nitro/Raw intro music
Another Thursday complete. Didn't get the notification until it was already out for 3 min. Weird
I watched every episode of Raw n Nitro during this time and even all thru my adulthood ive watched countless reruns on the Network n all over the years BUT Never knew these happened at all.
All the run ins reminds me of every single match involving the nwo
“The cameras then cut off but Rude handed Sunny a test kit for gonorrhoea.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Putski worked for a promotion in DFW a few years later. One half of The Cowboys From Hell. A heel team that was loved by the crowd.
Best shows are on RUclips..about to watch again
8:59 admit it guys, you are looking forward to that LOL
