Reliving The War takes an in-depth look at the “Monday Night War”, a period of time when WWF Raw went head to head with WCW Nitro for television ratings glory. With Raw on the USA Network and Nitro on TNT, fans had to choose which show they would watch, and both companies put on some great content to keep fans from switching the channel.
On Nitro this week, Ric Flair not only books himself in a match against Hollywood Hogan for Superbrawl IX, he also lets his son wrestle Eric Bischoff; the Bischoff vs David Flair match has to be one of the funniest matches ever put on WCW television. Rey Mysterio shares his opinion on Lex Luger while the Total Package tells Rey he wants to remove his mask, and in the main event we’ve got a Triple Threat match between Scott Hall, Goldberg and Bam Bam Bigelow.
Raw is War is the go home show before the 1999 Royal Rumble. Stone Cold Steve Austin understands there’s a target on his back heading into the rumble match, but he promises throw everyone over the top rope on his road to WrestleMania XV. Chyna takes on Pat Patterson and Gerald Briscoe in a 2-on-1 match, and the main event is a Corporation vs Corporation affair when The Rock battles Kane.

Hope you enjoy this one! The date is wrong at the start but don't let that put you off 😅WWF Royal Rumble 99 & the next episode of Reliving The War are available to view early on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wrestling_bios
During the Vince McMahon hype video, at 17:20, he hits a stunner on the guy wearing a blue mask and a red top. The masked man is non other than Kurt Angle, who at this point was training for his eventual debut 10 months later.
Wonder if WCW will ever gain the lead in the entertainment portion in 1999
I’m gonna be sad when we reach the end of the war
Will WCW fumble the ball? Only time will tell…yes.
NWO bored me to death from the beginning so after 2 years of the same promo and same ending and same swerves you can imagine how checked out i was on WCW by this point
“Elbow drops John Cena” that got me! 😂😂
Will you be covering the empty arena match ?
Did Ric Flair just say, "but if he beats you, we shave your head and your a$$?"
Реально классный канал
Mark Henry: Sweet Jesus, you gotta Penis! 😂😂😂
Just wanted to say thanks for making this series! It's not only gotten me back into wrestling, but is also helping me get through a rough emotional time right now. My wife's got our dog (we're still together but he just loves her more), but I've got some sweet wrestling moves again.
Man next week. Nitro in Dallas. I was there!!
As soon as Discos wolfpac music started playing on my headphones (here in the gym on the elliptical), a big powerlifter across the gym randomly started doing a random disco Inferno style dance😂😂😂😂
Not even kidding!
Kane's face turn was really well-booked imo. His motives for his actions made sense.
This aired on my mother's 38th birthday.
Where did the Royal Rumble-McMAn promo come from, it sounded real!!! Absolutly hilarious!!
Are we at headcheese yet in the sagas of the Blackman
Petition to call Corporate Kane "Co-Kane"
I'd forgotten that this Nitro actually had the NWO losing to another faction!
I was at this Nitro. I was bored to tears. Disco was the only good thing.
Disco for WHC!
"Elbow drops John Cena" Damnit man, I'm tryin to drink my coffee!
What is amazing to me is as you’re going through this era (December – February 1998-1999) this was when I was in San Diego at the yellow hell just outside the airport (MCRD San Diego).
I was trying to so hard to get info on what was happening and finding out that WCW was just this giant sinking ship was so disappointing.
I never got to see this era live and only found out about the major things when we were able to get info from home.
A tie? Really? You say the matches were better on WCW and even got some enjoyment out of the Flair match while WWF didn’t have any good matches, but because you liked the ending you thought it was a tie? WWF has been winning for a while now for good reason, but this one went to WCW clearly.
Wrong date at the start bud
Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan having more sense than Goldberg by wearing leather jackets to protect them from the glass is hilarious.this series has taught me that Goldberg was nothing but hype and was more green than Nash as the wizard his whole career.
I can't wait for the DNA testing Albert and Trish Stratus promos good God those were the best days of my childhood
3:27 shave Eric's head and his ass??? 😂😂😂😂
Aaahhh yes…the dreaded double weiner lock
Where did these unedited vince promos come from? Never heard them before
We need a head canon Steve Blackman compilation episode
That should be a match option in the next WWE game. A HAAS match (Head and A*s Shave)
Mark ass busters I guess K Dawg was watching Boyz N The Hood before cutting that promo
I don’t appreciate you not calling Steve “muhfugg” Blackman and the “muhfuggin” dojo by their proper name.. put some respect on Muhfuggin Blackman and the Muhfugg dojo 🫡
So Chyna applies the double wiener lock 😂😂😂😂
Damn was really hoping he get his ass shaved…. it was the attitude erra..
