Flash Funk or Too Cold Scorpio was SEVERELY underrated during this time period. Every time I see him do a top rope manoeuvre, he executes them perfectly. He should have had a much bigger push in the WWE at the time. I'm always impressed with his in-ring work, not sure how good he is on the mic though.
In my opinion? Which ain't worth all THAT much.. but 2 Cold on tha mic? Same, and well met. His ring-work so solid and ahead of the game... but his mic?
I was actually at that London show as a kid and I remember three things in particular about it. 1) Steve Austin took what felt like an hour to make his entrance, 2) The whole crowd were begging to see Bret Hart all night and 3) BARRY HARROWITZ WON A MATCH!!!
Liesssss, Liessssss.. You had me until the Barry Horowitz won a match moment.. lol TBF.. He is one of the best jobbers to ever be in a ring.. He needs his own video. ;)
@@Skip2TheEnd I envy you not only have I never been to an attitude era show in live person but I've never been to a wrestling show. Except for one indie show by the Samoan dynasty and I did see rikishi wrestle but other than that I wish I could go back in time and watch live wrestling when it was great
This is probably because I went down a rabbit hole a week ago, but I can't wait for La Parka to show up on Nitro. I have no doubt that all La Parka segments will beat whatever Raw puts on.
I never understood why WCW spent so much time hyping up Glacier for months. Giving them all those promo videos. To do absolutely nothing with him. He was supposed to be some martial arts guy, obviously a Sub-Zero rip off, perhaps he could have been used in the cruiser weight division or perhaps formulate a hardcore style for him, where he fought against wrestlers such as Meng. Have him tag with a Scorpion rip off character, but to do nothing with him after all the hype 🤨
@@martynodonnell8467 Well the "Blood Runs Cold" angle with Mortis throughout 1997 at least gave him something to do for a short while. But all that accomplished was showing that Mortis was head and shoulders above him in terms of talent. Chris Kanyon would have a decent career in WCW after he dropped the Mortis gimmick, while Glacier would just fade into obscurity.
He cut his hair dyed it and rocked shades and chainmail But his physique was bigger upper body (though he was a big guy already) His Big Poppa Pump gimmick was gold though
I remember This episode of Raw, it was my 11th birthday and I had only been watching wrestling for maybe a few months and I was slowly starting to get hooked around this time. If only I was 11 again 😞
Can we all just not just appreciate the time and effort he puts into these videos...but the background BMG. Such a great choice. That N64 music vibes just make it so much enjoyable also. Keep up the awesome work mate!. Hopefully we can get plenty more original game music in the background ☺️
As a long time viewer, I'd really appreciate a career analysis of Kevin Sullivan. I know nothing about him and have always wondered what the big deal was. Awesome videos as always!
He is mostly known for a satanic gimmick in the 80s mostly renowned for his heel work and heel physiology he was the one doing most of the booking during the mid 90s in wcw known as a booker who followed the bosses visions and didn’t try to push himself
Really loving this series. Takes me back to my late teens and living vicariously through the texas rattlesnake (I know we're not there yet). You've really helped make lockdown easier. Thank you
Mark Curtis was an awesome ref. He famously took down a fan in a choke during a Malenko/Psychosis match in 1997. He was so respected in the business, all three major companies honored his death.
Sure could use 2 or 3 of these shows...per WEEK! So awesome to relive my childhood! Cant wait til we get bout halfway into 1997! Thanks for all yall do with this channel!
I love old wrestling from the 90’s but can’t get into watching the old shows (I haven’t watched wrestling in years) but these videos scratch the itch I have every time for what I need
I love this series! My only suggestion is too release the new episodes Monday night at the time both shows had started...as in line with the series. This would help everyone when to know a new episode is up and being that I look forward to the new episodes as much as I did when the wrestling was live in my youth, it would just be another nice connection to our past. As this series already exceeds our expectations, all I can really say is THANK YOU!
@@RichardJaspering always thought it was stupid that they even paired them together. HBK was a somewhat edgy character, putting his old mentor with him just made him a generic white meat babyface. I understand the boyhood dream angle at Mania 12....no need to keep Jose with him after that point.
I remember watching these way back when and I could never remember why I hated Sid so much. You've reminded me. He has absolutely no character and no promo skills and his in ring work is just about passable. Also, poor Jake. He needed help back then, not 20 years later.
im so stoked for this series and this channel... i love that ive been watching this series since jump street and im like so stoked that we are sooooooo close to 1997 when everything is going to start getting crazy.... its crazy to think that after 60 episodes herer we are in december of 1996.... some of the stuff i see here my brain goes ''omfg i forgot this ever happened''.. but then other things i dont remember because in december of 96 i was 8 years old turning 9 in june of 97... lol only so many wrestling matches from before the attitude era stuck with me.. once wcw and wwf/wwe really hit their stride in 97 and 98 i really feel like i can recall everything vividly as if it happened yesterday hahaha
I dig the camera panning out, even though it was done as a reaction to the circumstances. Makes you feel like a viewer in the arena and gives you a better look at what Regal and Benoit are doing.
I love how much more comfortable you're getting making these and that you're getting better at telling the jokes and will you remarks and sarcasm I love it
omgosh Dayton, OH! Hara Arena! My father took me to so many wrestling shows in the 80s and 90s there. So many great memories.. The building got destroyed by a tornado a few years ago. Love seeing that old dump, I sure miss that place.. 😭
Scott Hall really has a genius mind for wrestling. That Sting reason for the zoomed out camera was inspired.
Yeah that was brilliant.
Regal thinks about going for a chin lock ...but he knows I'm watching, so he hits a forearm across Benoits nose 😂😂😂 Too Funny! WrestlingBios4life!
U watchin? lol Who u :)

He should have had a much bigger push in the WWE at the time. I'm always impressed with his in-ring work, not sure how good he is on the mic though.
@Black Boy King TV Yeah that is true.
Agreed
probably his attitude held him back, based on what I saw of him on Dark Side of the Ring (the North Korea episode) and other interviews.
He was too far ahead of the times.
In my opinion? Which ain't worth all THAT much.. but 2 Cold on tha mic? Same, and well met. His ring-work so solid and ahead of the game... but his mic?
"And he looks out for all the WWF title shots he won't be receiving anytime soon. " Savage 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"He goes for a Chinlock, but he knows I'm watching" 🤣🤣🤣
“Gets chocked out in the corner by Fake Diesel’s big fake foot” I’m weak :)
Sting's segment alone and the zoom out call by Hall on commentary for Benoit and Regal was genius. Loved Nitro's ending, can't say enough good things.
Jimmy Hart has a great mind for the business too. And he wrote some of the best entrance music in wrestling history.
Watching Scott Steiner slowly morph in to Big Poppa Pump is surreal knowing where this road ends.
@@gehtdianschasau8372 , he is alive...
He still wrestles on occasion and he owns & operates a restaurant in Georgia.

HORROWITZ WINS!!!!
Honestly...Scott saved the segment...by improving and saying the nwo are zooming out the cams to look for sting...nice touch
This is probably because I went down a rabbit hole a week ago, but I can't wait for La Parka to show up on Nitro.
I have no doubt that all La Parka segments will beat whatever Raw puts on.
With u. La Parka? 1 or II? NOW THAT is ENTERTAINMENT! lmao
"the audacity of this little bastard." - The summarization of Jimmy Hart's entire career
2 Cold Scorpio (Flash Funk) is always underrated in my opinion. What a great wrestler.
Yeah Dean Malenko Chinlock is great but I want The Goon Chinlock
Edit: I am pleased.
The deep sigh when taking a look at the promotion for the RAW main event and the “Let’s be honest here… this is sh*t” lol. So good
“James gets choked on the middle rope and hopefully he damages his vocal chords” 💀😂
this commentary is what keeps me coming back "the audacity of that lil bastard" was pure comedy
"Who needs Marc Mero when you've got Flash Funk?"....Indeed my friend, indeed.
They both can't hold a candle to the Booty Man. lol
@@g-man80 Aw hell naw. xD
I have been waiting for Thursday…literally waiting for the drop all day…I love this stuff your doing Ian!
Me too
Ian? His name's Ryan,isn't it?🤔
That's not my name

Nice Ting Tings reference there Jim..? Erm... Bob...? Ahhh... Fred...?
Whatever, nice reference 😂
" Benoit knocking it right to my wife 🤣🤣🤣🤣"
Picturing Kevin Sullivan saying that got me good.
Time for our weekly tradition. The best wrestling show of the week.
“At least you can play bingo at a ECW show” damn that’s brutal haha
After six months of build, Glacier is opening the show against jobber Hardbody Harrison. Well hopefully things can only get better from here 🤣🤣🤣
I never understood why WCW spent so much time hyping up Glacier for months. Giving them all those promo videos. To do absolutely nothing with him. He was supposed to be some martial arts guy, obviously a Sub-Zero rip off, perhaps he could have been used in the cruiser weight division or perhaps formulate a hardcore style for him, where he fought against wrestlers such as Meng.

Beavis and Butthead slept through the JBL vs Road Dogg Match
Bringing back the childhood week by week. Amazing brother
Can’t wait for the “Brahma Bull-Lock” in 1997
I love the Sonic 1 and 2 act clear theme after Eddie's win.
Just finished the end of an era video to roll into this. Thanks for the content.
The goons gimmick is about as good as his shoot interviews lol
15:55 25 years later, this still holds true while watching RAW...
Best part of the week from the best wrestling channel on RUclips
I have been waiting on this episode for a long time. I was there at Hara Arena this night getting to see the Icon Sting. Thank you wrestling Bios
"...no, not the the Quebecers..." gets every time
god, i really forgot how much vince LOVED shawn michaels.
Even when the fans were sick of baby face HBK
and turning on him, and he wasn’t drawing. Vince was still pushing him too the moon.
The way he way he would fawn at Shawn with his little school girl eyes…there was something going on
Welcome to Thursday Afternoon Reliving the War! Always look forward to this. Thanks so much for this series.
Regal vs. Benoit in a Fixed Camera Match.
Can't get over how completely unrecognizable Scott Steiner is from his younger days
He cut his hair dyed it and rocked shades and chainmail
But his physique was bigger upper body (though he was a big guy already)
His Big Poppa Pump gimmick was gold though
I remember This episode of Raw, it was my 11th birthday and I had only been watching wrestling for maybe a few months and I was slowly starting to get hooked around this time. If only I was 11 again 😞
On a hot and sunny Thursday just casually tuning in to reliving the war 😎 on that notification drop
Love it like Louisiana lemonade. lol Drop, indeed.. one more sugar cube.
I literally want an entire episode of '96 Raw with Beavis and Butthead commentary, hahahaahh
The WCW vs NWO revenge game music in The background . Thanks for the video well done!!!!
Can we all just not just appreciate the time and effort he puts into these videos...but the background BMG. Such a great choice. That N64 music vibes just make it so much enjoyable also. Keep up the awesome work mate!. Hopefully we can get plenty more original game music in the background ☺️
After a week of watching, I’ve officially caught up on all the Raw vs. Nitro episodes. You are awesome man, thank you for the videos.
Omg this time next month 1997. We're slowly getting to one of the best years in wrestling in my opinion
As a long time viewer, I'd really appreciate a career analysis of Kevin Sullivan. I know nothing about him and have always wondered what the big deal was.
Awesome videos as always!
Big deal, far as I know, is 5 or even SIX moves of DOOM. lol :) Yes, agreed, Mr. Wrestling Bios is tha Man.
He is mostly known for a satanic gimmick in the 80s mostly renowned for his heel work and heel physiology he was the one doing most of the booking during the mid 90s in wcw known as a booker who followed the bosses visions and didn’t try to push himself
I've been waiting for this! It's Thursday. You what that means? Reliving The War: Monday Night Raw vs Monday Night Nitro!
the Sonic joke was already funny, but then you threw in the Sonic level-end music at 11:52 and i LOST it laughing
I like that you kept your promise!
I legitimately bust out laughing on the sonic reference nice one Wrestling bios
A Goonies reference…just when I thought I couldn’t love this channel any more than I already do! 👌
With Richard Donner's recent passing, its perfect timing
Ah, a new episode on my birthday! The greatest present of all!
Thanks again for this amazing series. So fun to take a look back and remember when/where i was watching this stuff as a kid.
"Everybody, here comes 2 Cold Scorpio!!!!"
We all been waiting for this
Got to love wrestling bios material
As soon as I saw the notification, I knew it was a call to arms
Really loving this series. Takes me back to my late teens and living vicariously through the texas rattlesnake (I know we're not there yet). You've really helped make lockdown easier. Thank you
Two future DX teammates team up in Raw's main event.
The fact that the World Heavyweight Championship was not on the line for this run up of Piper vs. Hogan still blows my mind.
LMAO @ Riggs love tap of a chair shot to Meng, and Meng no selling it. 🤣🤣
Vince writing about Shawn being a "man's man", "skeletons out of the closet" and being "proud".....
Oops.
Mark Curtis was an awesome ref. He famously took down a fan in a choke during a Malenko/Psychosis match in 1997.
He was so respected in the business, all three major companies honored his death.
Sure could use 2 or 3 of these shows...per WEEK! So awesome to relive my childhood! Cant wait til we get bout halfway into 1997! Thanks for all yall do
with this channel!
These wars, I LOVE to revisit.
Thanks for posting this series, love it!! I'm in Australia and every friday lunchtime I put on reliving the war.
I love old wrestling from the 90’s but can’t get into watching the old shows (I haven’t watched wrestling in years) but these videos scratch the itch I have every time for what I need
Best way to celebrate my birthday by watching a Wrestling Bios video! You sir do an incredible job! Keep it up!
Thursdays are best day of the week when a new episode of the reliving the war appears
Vince table dancing, what a career this guy's had! LOL
Just saw you show up vinfuso’s video ! Glad to see others spreading the greatness that is wrestling bios
Both shows were pretty ordinary this week, but that takes nothing away from the video. Great work man, keep it up
I look forward to this every Thursday. Thank you so much...
I Love reliving the war
IT'S MY JAMMY JAM!!
Really would love to see Scott Hall take a commentary role today.

I never felt there was any chemistry between HBK and Jose
Nah, too complex, my thought. Not enough time for Vinnie Mac to let it be. And play out.
@@RichardJaspering always thought it was stupid that they even paired them together. HBK was a somewhat edgy character, putting his old mentor with him just made him a generic white meat babyface.
I understand the boyhood dream angle at Mania 12....no need to keep Jose with him after that point.
You have no idea how much I appreciate the Revenge Starrcade theme for main events.
Thanks for the promo, Vince!
IM LOVING THIS SERIE MAN!!!! GREETINGS FROM ARGENTINA AND AGUANTE RIVER!!
Bro, you are literally the only channel I have notifications on for.

Just about passable... as long as he doesn't injure anyone. About 60/40 odds on that one.

Man Scott Steiner looks so different. His look now is way more imposing
This is my favorite thing on RUclips rn(right now)
Man I wish we got a new one every day bro best show on RUclips!
27:06 Makes it look like he's changing a tire. That's the funniest thing I've ever heard 🤣
LOL, I first heard that and was confused because I thought he meant "attire", as in his ring attire for the match.
Your production quality just gets better and better!!!!!! Legend
4:11
Malenko powerbombed Kidman. Not something you see very often.
Nursing some sunburn and enjoying this 🙂😅
I was officially 2 years old when these showed aired!
Thank you for your generous upload! Been waiting for this, but will wait until I get home to fully enjoy this with a nice meal. Kudos
Loving these videos! “Ties” at the end could be called “Monday Nite-DRAWs”, or not..
