Cant believe this series has been going for almost a year. Feels like just a few weeks ago that it started. One of my favorite parts of every Thursday.
@@planescaped while I agree with everything you wrote, I also have to say that what Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Eric B. did with the NWO and turning Hogan heel was not only necessary to push wrestling to new heights but it was also was the most entertaining era wrestling has ever had(arguably).
@@dadman9799 It was Kevin Sullivan who managed to convince Hogan to turn heel. By many accounts, Bischoff is still taking credit for other people's work and successful ideas.
@exe2517 But wasn't it Erics idea? Sure maybe someone else was close enough to Hogan to convince him to the right thing (just that once), but the question is who thought of the idea. I've never heard it anywhere that Sullivan conceived the nWo.
Fake Razor Ramon was dead in the water from the get go, but the guy who played Fake Diesel had some potential.......I wonder whatever happened to him 😂
This is awesome! Me and my college friends were among the crew passing out fliers. We drove up from Tuscaloosa (Roll Tide!) and the production team pulled us out of the crowd! Thanks for bringing back the great memories.
That's what you got like about money nitro sometimes they bring unpredictability and they bring humor something the WWE was lacking in the Monday night wars in the earlier stages
Xavier. Hold on for a minute there were stories of wrestlers who was complaining about the jackknife power bombs in The outsiders age being very stiff I don't know is that because of the angle or because of the wrestlers themselves did not land right.
It's been fifty episodes y'all. Fifty episodes of insightful commentary, engaging storytelling, and fond nostalgia. Here's to the next fifty, next hundred, and next however many episodes it takes to cover the whole war. Here's to Wrestling Bios!
I will always remember the ending of the match between Marc Mero and Faarooq for the IC belt, because it was the very first time I’ve seen someone do the shooting star press and I couldn’t believe that wrestlers could do that, I was SO amazed. I’m still impressed every time I see someone do the move, I LOVE it 😃
@@dontreldontrel416 well Alexander Hamilton started the u.s treasury wich is where money comes from an thts why hall went to Dubba ceee DubbaU so Alexander Hamilton started the n.W.o
@@jeffzehnpfennig1554 I don't believe Me Hamilton was in WWF. So I'm not sure who and what u are talking about. I've been watching wrestling for years and never heard your type of conversation. Ok bye
@@jeffzehnpfennig1554 what the hell he has to do with Scott Hall and Razor Ramon leaving the WWF because he just simply didn't like the Goldust Character. Not political stuff and the foundation of the U.S. not talking about anybody pockets bro. But thanks for the info. I will look it up
WCW: *spends the summer of 1996 faking everyone out for weeks with teases about a superstar's debut, only to not deliver what they promised* Vince McMahon: "That's brilliant! Write that down!"
whoever thought a detailed comparison of shows 25 years old would be more must see than current pro wrestling? and the war wasnt even at its peak yet and this is still good.
Pretty sure Nitro won all but one point last week (or was it two weeks ago?). And the point Raw won was the unopposed hour. That point is alway a toss up, but given the quality of Raw that week, that point should’ve been recalled.
Scott Hall wins easy. Credit to Austin for pointing out how stupid the Stalker gimmick was, but Hall just left The Giant in the lurch right there with no good answer to give.
Scott Hall - "Go with it, the soundtrack from your favourite adult movie" This is where the "NWO Theme is music from a porno" rumour started with internet marks in the late 90s. I remember my friends older brother (Massive internet mark nerd) back then telling us it was from a porno, but he could never find exactly which one. Of course now the rumour has been put to rest. Its just a theme of multiple Jimmy Hendrix riffs from a few of his songs.
Marc Mero worked with Mr. Perfect to become a better wrestler and win the IC belt. I have a new found respect for the wild man. He always was a good wrestler, high energy and high flying moves. I'm a huge Mr. Perfect fan and I'm glad to see Curt helping the next generation become better. He was a damn fine individual, RIP Curt.
The old school WCW/NWO revenge themes playing in the background of these vids gives me a warm nostalgic feeling that makes me pine for the days when I was a kid who spent most of his life outside school on his n64 😥
I think the unopposed hour point system is perfect. Back in the day that hour would usually determine if I was switching over to RAW or staying on Nitro. You are completely on point with your approach there.
That's why people need to be patient because in February of 1997 that's when WWF will go to 2 hours. I mean we already know at the end of this series WWF will win the points in the Monday night wars
And if Mega Man Ron Simmons wins, he gets Glacier's powers. They could have given him entire wrestler movesets as he conquers his enemies and unlocks new armor colors.
I look forward to this show every week. It's fun. With that said, I wanna gloat that I was at the In Your House pay per view mentioned at the beginning. The best part was when Mankind announced in an interview before his match that if he won the title, he would never have to wrestle in a bingo parlor again.
I hardly ever go on the comments section but I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your hard word and for letting us relive this. Tbis has got to be by far the best UA-cam channel I have ever come across and good luck with your future content. Really looking forward to 97’ especially from the WWF.
Don t look down on yourself It is not just a UA-cam show It is extremely accurate well constructed and with a fair commentary on both shows I love this series You put to shame official work from wwe They should hire you for their network
Can’t wait to watch this after work tonight! Loving Thursdays because of the relieving the Monday night wars! Keep it up. Let’s get a Davey Boy Smith Chinlock!
The unopposed point thing makes perfect sense to me, there were plenty of nights I watched the first hour of Nitro then switched over to Raw at 9 and never switched back.
Wait, Hogan calls Savage out for being bald? While wearing a bandanna to hide his own bald head? That’s up there on the “Why would they do that?” scale along with Lawler mocking Jake Robert’s alcoholism.
Lawler is notoriously known as a non-alcohol and drugs guy though unless you’re talking about his Coca Cola addiction and collection. I don’t know why you you’d use one example of irony and then try to use it with Lawler / Roberts when there is nothing ironic about it.
I remember watching these live, with the JR promo, thinking it was really fresh. In hindsight, that plus the Stone Cold commentary feels like the start of a gradual build toward the Attitude era.
I like how WCW made a point to show Hall and Nash live on Nitro before Raw had even come on the air even though Gorilla Monsoon had said over the weekend that The Outsiders were not coming back to WWF.
Cant believe this is the 50th episode. I wonder if Wrestling Bios had any idea how absolutely loved this series would become when he did the 1st Reliving the War episode.
Been waiting for this one. I watched it when it aired on sky channel Bravo in the UK and I recorded it on vhs. Love this show and look forward to it every week. Cheers man for your work
I read that fake Razor and Diesel was actually introduced to support their court case against WCW. By showing they still used those characters, it made their case stronger against Hall and Nash using the mannerisms from those WWF characters. Makes sense when you think about it.
I agree with those who don't like how Raw usually gets the point during the unopposed hour (the hour when WCW Nitro actually has wrestling on TV and WWF Raw doesn't). And we're not "taking it too seriously"- we're just commenting lol that's what the comments section is for.
This isn't JUST a UA-cam show! It's REAL TO ME, DAMNIT!
calm down man! ;]
@@craigusselman546 I guess the joke went over your head?
@@Adam_Outdoors No after the wrestling guy started to bawl and said ITS STILL REAL TO ME the wrestlers were like Take it easy calm down gt the joke.
@@craigusselman546 OOps forgot about that. I guess it was me who didn't get it then lol oh the irony.
@@Adam_Outdoors there have been MANY TIMES a joke has gone over my head dont worry.
Time to grab some popcorn. It's everyone's favorite weekly series: Reliving The War
This series is so good that in 30 years we’ll get someone making a series called “Reliving Reliving The War”
I grab a beer🍺 but to each their own

Same
One of your favorite parts? Man, you must have some pleasant Thursdays...
At this point, the WWF had to have been scared to release any superstar.
"Is Andre really your dad, man?" LOL

You sounded so dejected when you mentioned no Davey Boy Smith chinlocks. Im with ya there.
Fake Razor Ramon was dead in the water from the get go, but the guy who played Fake Diesel had some potential.......I wonder whatever happened to him 😂
i think undertaker set him on fire as a kid and paul bearer was his father. that gimmick went nowhere😂😂
@@universe-ie2mkask Katie Vick if it went nowhere 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 u
Faded into obscurity. Probably a small-town politician somewhere.
It's amazing how he went from Lawler personal dentist to a fake razor to burned as a child and Kane
@@Rob_Thorsman Yeah I think he got elected to some small time county mayor or something...
Marc Mero’s shooting star press is a thing of beauty
Cleanest one I’ve ever seen
Tucks perfectly
@Max Mooney merl was my favorite wrestler outside of hogan and sting
This is awesome! Me and my college friends were among the crew passing out fliers. We drove up from Tuscaloosa (Roll Tide!) and the production team pulled us out of the crowd! Thanks for bringing back the great memories.
"Go with it. The soundtrack from your favorite adult movie brought to you by the NWO." Classic moment right here
That's what you got like about money nitro sometimes they bring unpredictability and they bring humor something the WWE was lacking in the Monday night wars in the earlier stages
Reliving the War and Dark Side of the Ring in one day...Yeah Bwoi!
Undisputed
I finished all of my college finals rn and now watching Reliving the War. Hell yeah
That’s a lie unless you’re working a gimmick. There is no such thing as a wrestling fan in college...unless you’re talking about community college. 🤣
This Monday night wars are the best
so grateful i grew up watching wrestling during this era !
@@eddie9244 the golden era
I came 2008-2009 after ruthless aggression era
@@vashonnoel that was also a great era
29:56 it’s incredible the Outsiders didn’t injure both their opponents. That Jackknife was nasty

Happy 50th episode Wrestling Bio! I’m glad you kept going with the series
When I hear Scott Hall say "You want a war? You gonna get one" that's all I needed
Goldust is the reason Razor Ramon went to WCW. So Goldust really Started the NWO

Best part of coming home from work on Thursdays!
Congrats on 50 episodes of “Reliving the War!”
That guy cutting the promo is like the dude who takes a glove to a baseball game.
50 episodes in and I'm still waiting for a complete squash on either side, surprised it hasn't happened yet.
Pretty sure Nitro won all but one point last week (or was it two weeks ago?). And the point Raw won was the unopposed hour. That point is alway a toss up, but given the quality of Raw that week, that point should’ve been recalled.
Doesn't the Jim Ross promo have one of the first times that Mr. McMahon was acknowledged to be the owner of the company and not just a commentator?
Marc Mero's shooting star press is a thing of beauty...Billy Kidman should have taken notes
L'MFAO DEAD XD!!!!
I hope your being sarcastic....Kidman was fantastic.
Maybe brock should have, kidman was class
kidman's used to get me hype as a kid. especially when he got cleaned up and left the flock. that was holding him back imo
@@thelive6103 just a lil...making a joke at the 2 times out of 100,000 he botched the move.
Who won the war of breaking kayfabe this week?
Steve Austin “that’s Barry whindam with face paint
Or
Scott Hall “yo is Andre really your dad”
Lol
😆 😆
JR has to be a contender...
Haha, I'll say the Scott Hall one wins this week, he put the giant on the spot there.
Scott Hall wins easy. Credit to Austin for pointing out how stupid the Stalker gimmick was, but Hall just left The Giant in the lurch right there with no good answer to give.
Really glad I discovered this series, great videos!
The best news is when there’s a new wrestling bios 🔥🔥🔥
19:20 Bischoff's sell of that head slap...masterful.
Thank you for making these, Me and my grandpa used to watch wrestling together, but he has passed away . Now I can enjoy these and remember him.
Your "fuckin Pat Patrick" comment killed me! 🤣
The best thing to watch on UA-cam or anywhere else
Scott Hall - "Go with it, the soundtrack from your favourite adult movie"
This is where the "NWO Theme is music from a porno" rumour started with internet marks in the late 90s. I remember my friends older brother (Massive internet mark nerd) back then telling us it was from a porno, but he could never find exactly which one.
Of course now the rumour has been put to rest. Its just a theme of multiple Jimmy Hendrix riffs from a few of his songs.
Lol I think I heard they were wrong so when I was a kid
Love these Reliving The War series. Thank you for your time and work. Cheers!
THIS right here is what I look forward to every Thursday. Great work as always my man
It's amazing that you have been dropping reliving the war videos for over a year now.
I've already watched a couple 're-runs' ✌
Dude this is honestly one of my fav UA-cam shows, and no doubt the best wrestling centered show on UA-cam. Love these Thursday’s
My favorite show and series on this channel its gonna get even better 🔥🔥🔥
Races to watch Reliving the war ... popcorn ready 🔥🔥🔥 happy 50th

Literally my favorite video each week of any Channel I watch. That intro gets me pumped each time
It's interesting that although new episodes of Raw are still being produced, this has become my official Raw now lol.
Thank you Wrestling Bios! 🙏
You and Simon Miller are the only wrestling shows I watch. You are the best!
"Is Andre really your dad meng?" ...that's classic RAZOR for ya 😎
This has been just incredible to watch. To relive my childhood through these videos is so amazing. Safe to say this was the best time to be a fan

Shame Mega Man Faarooq and Sub Zero Glacier were on separate shows. Could have had the ultimate video game character match.
And if Mega Man Ron Simmons wins, he gets Glacier's powers.
They could have given him entire wrestler movesets as he conquers his enemies and unlocks new armor colors.
@@juststatedtheobvious9633 Lol, yes 😹👍🏻
Im a wrestling fan , but im young , so reliving this war is soo cool , i was a baby when these men were becoming legends !
I sat the war out.
Now i get to see everything i missed.
Thanks!
I look forward to this EVERY week!!
RAW only got a 2 in the ratings? Nitro was kicking ass.
I look forward to this show every week. It's fun. With that said, I wanna gloat that I was at the In Your House pay per view mentioned at the beginning. The best part was when Mankind announced in an interview before his match that if he won the title, he would never have to wrestle in a bingo parlor again.
It's easy to forget just how agile Ron Simmons was. The guy could move and bump so well for such a big guy. Very underrated worker.
Amazing football player darn it- same for wrestling
This is one of my favorite channels on UA-cam! Love all your videos!

thank you as always
My favorite part of the week is finally here! I love Thursdays!
Welcome to Thursday Afternoon Reliving the War. Thanks once again for a great video. Episode 50 already. Congrats.
Don t look down on yourself
It is not just a UA-cam show
It is extremely accurate well constructed and with a fair commentary on both shows
I love this series
You put to shame official work from wwe
They should hire you for their network
congratulations on the 50th episode it's been brilliant since day 1, a davey boy Smith Chinlock would of been a real treat for the 50th episode
Can’t wait to watch this after work tonight!
Loving Thursdays because of the relieving the Monday night wars! Keep it up.
Let’s get a Davey Boy Smith Chinlock!
The unopposed point thing makes perfect sense to me, there were plenty of nights I watched the first hour of Nitro then switched over to Raw at 9 and never switched back.
Don't worry there will be no more unimposed points once 1997 come up when they go to 2 hours
The big 50th! Congratulations. Been watching since episode one aired. Love this page.
Look forward to this every Thursday, keep up the excellent work pal 👍🏻😊
I wish more people talked about JR's promo here. I think it's one of his best, because of how well he blurred kayfabe and reality.
Wait, Hogan calls Savage out for being bald? While wearing a bandanna to hide his own bald head? That’s up there on the “Why would they do that?” scale along with Lawler mocking Jake Robert’s alcoholism.
Lawler is notoriously known as a non-alcohol and drugs guy though unless you’re talking about his Coca Cola addiction and collection. I don’t know why you you’d use one example of irony and then try to use it with Lawler / Roberts when there is nothing ironic about it.
R.I.P. MACHO DIED TODAY 10 YRS AGO
To be fair for Hogan getting made about Savage's, "bald head", the commentators called him out for his hypocrisy.
Happy 50th Episode everyone!
God I love this series...
Eric really is adept at playing a babyface, he's great at it honestly it feels believable. Sometimes I wish he & vince kept their meek characters
This era HBK was my favorite.
His look and persona was at it's best.
Loved this one
I was kinda hoping for The Giant to be the worlds largest announcer for the rest of the night lol
I remember watching these live, with the JR promo, thinking it was really fresh. In hindsight, that plus the Stone Cold commentary feels like the start of a gradual build toward the Attitude era.
Shawn Michaels and Vader at summerslam was apparently a buried alive match.
The Mega Man chin lock...I’m dead! 💀 😂
Thank you for your great work man!!
Episode 50 already? Wow! Congrats on the success, Bios!
This may be the one you jumped the shark - gonna be hard to live down giving the point to Fake Razor haha
I like how WCW made a point to show Hall and Nash live on Nitro before Raw had even come on the air even though Gorilla Monsoon had said over the weekend that The Outsiders were not coming back to WWF.

Thanks for another great video, Brother!!
Dont take it too seriously?!!! This guy for real!!! This is our Thursday nights!!!!
BEST SERIES ON YT
Jim Cornett looks like he’s dressed up like Dr Robotnik at in your house
Diesel and Razor on both shows. Hall and Nash were really over huh
I read that fake Razor and Diesel was actually introduced to support their court case against WCW. By showing they still used those characters, it made their case stronger against Hall and Nash using the mannerisms from those WWF characters. Makes sense when you think about it.
It just smells like pettiness and jealousy from Vince to WCW where it actually makes you want to wish for WCW during the time to beat the WWF
Come on man I love your channel it's not just a UA-cam channel it's a look back at my child hood
Was gonna be so sad if we didnt get to see a ULTRA combo ....great work as always
Did you really say it’s just a UA-cam show, don’t take it so serious?? This is the best thing going in pro wrestling today!
Wow I can't believe we are only in 1996 we got 5 years to go
Awesome thanks
your videos are always a treat, love em!
I remember this episode. That JR promo was fantastic.
Pat Patrick cracked me up LOL
Hogan making fun of someone else’s baldness is hilarious
