    Hey everyone. The info in this video is pretty outdated already ; the OHF donation amount is now over £2k!
    I will likely make the donation at the end of this month instead. Will keep you all posted.
    Thanks to everyone who bought a shirt, sent a superchat or just watched the videos.

    Hello, my name is Benny Gordon and I actually work for a few wrestling companies in Colorado as a referee. A little after I started training, I started watching this series in mid 2022 and have been watching ever since. From that period all the way until October of 2023, I used to ref every Thursday, so I would be listening to new episodes of Reliving The War on the way to the company I work at which would get me even more excited to ref. This series even helped me answer a fellow wrestler's question about Goldust's shattered dream finisher. I just wanted to say my thank yous and give you the flowers you deserve for such an entertaining and well put together series.

  • @chrisbreezy3048
    @chrisbreezy3048 8 месяцев назад +1

    I actually went to this show as it was my first-ever live event, WCW or WWF. From what I remember, the atmosphere felt very different after Owen's death the night before. In fact, whenever Sting came out to help Buff, he came through the crowd, instead of from the rafters like he usually did. Also, after Savage attacked Nash and covered his face with lipstick, he left to a chorus of boos. However, Big Sexy got back up and said something to the extent of 'If this is how you're going to play this, then sh*t's on.' While it wasn't the greatest wrestling show I've ever been to, it was my first and only WCW show, which made it memorable in that respect.

    It was Thursday night and you know what that means! Reliving the War is back. And here we have what happened on WCW Nitro the night after the tragedy of Owen Hart's fatal accident. A class act you have been in this whole thing Ryan I must say.

    Hell yea we have an amazing community going on here! Reliving the War brings us all together to nostalgia-bait and remember better times in wrestling.
    Proud of all you that have donated or bought shirts in memory of Owen Hart! Cant wait to see what the total is that gets sent over to the foundation from all us
