    Can't tell if Bios timed this hiatus in any way, or if it's just perfect coincidence, but this is it: We've reached the end of WCW's 83-week ratings winning streak! When RtW returns in two weeks it'll be the first time WWF will win a Monday (overall) since mid-1996, and things will go back & forth like crazy until October of 1998, when WWF consistently wins until the end of the war itself in 2001.
    Enjoy your break, Ryan, because things are truly going to get interesting when you return to this series.

    • @Obscusion2
      @Obscusion2 2 роки тому +3

      @@lexkanyima2195 Because there's actual competition during the majority of 1998. The WWF has the early days of the Attitude Era & the Stone Cold/McMahon feud, while WCW has the Wolfpac/Hollywood nWo Civil War & the rise of Goldberg to the main event. Makes sense that the two sides would trade ratings victories during this time.

    I know The Rock was a huge star in WWE and he deserves a lot of credit . But Stone Cold Steve Austin is the biggest star to ever step foot in the ring in my opinion. He saved WWE during this time. It's crazy to think what could of happened had Austin not become a huge star like he did.

    • @martynodonnell
      @martynodonnell 2 роки тому +3

      Yeah Austin was the biggest star ever in wrestling, period. Even bigger than Hogan was in the 80s and Hulkamania was huge during that era. The Rock got popular during 98 and started to take off during 99. When Austin had to take some time off during 2000 that’s when The Rocks really took off and he shot into the mainstream. Without Austin there is no Rock.
