    Reliving The War takes a look at the WWF vs WCW Monday Night Wars that took place during the mid to late 90s and early 2000s. Every match, promo and segment gets covered as we take an in-depth look at one of the hottest time periods in wrestling. With WCW Nitro on TNT and WWF Monday Night Raw on the USA Network (at the same time), fans had to choose which channel to watch. This series flips back and forth between both the WCW channel and the WWF channel to check out what happened every week.
    WWF Raw has moved to a 2 hour format and their first 120 minute episode comes from the Toronto Skydome. Billed as "Royal Rumble Raw", the WWF present matches featuring Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Ahmed Johnson and Vader. Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels also have an entertaining in-ring segment.
    Over on Nitro, Rowdy Roddy Piper has a choice. Piper can choose to wrestle Hulk Hogan at WCW Superbrawl VII or he can go home and be a family man. Both Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper appear on Nitro. Steve McMichael, The Steiner Brothers, Harlem Heat and Glacier all in action this week on TNT.
