Reliving The War continues! In this series, we look at the Raw vs Nitro TV battle that took place during the mid 90s to early 2000s. WCW Monday Nitro took on WWF Monday Night Raw for TV ratings supremacy as WCW executive producer Eric Bischoff made some bold moves to become the number 1 wrestling company in the United States. With WWF Raw on the USA network and WCW Nitro airing on TNT, fans had to choose which show to watch... and this time period within wrestling was known as "The Monday Night War".
Its 1.29.96, the WWF are showing taped matches while Nitro, as always, is live. WCW just wrapped up their Clash of the Champions special on TBS while the WWF have been building towards In Your House 6 and WrestleMania XII. Superstars included in this episode of Reliving The War include Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan, The Giant, Ric Flair, Diesel and many more.

Raw vs Nitro "Reliving The War": Episode 20 - Jan 29th 1996
720 Shikime 73 mijë
Mankind debut!!!!!
I always thought it was lame when Hogan shook off peoples blows to him and went off. It was getting old seeing the same Hogan gimmick every week.
Can't wait for fuckin' MANKIND to make his debut on RAW!
The one person who cares about Phineas Godwin thanks you! psst.... it's Phineas!
So basically, if Sherry was concussed, Medusa did nothing to protect her and made the situation worse. Do we know if Medusa was ever an unsafe worker?
I'm not a huge Hogan hater like others are but man, when its notable that he does the most basic level of selling for his opponent you start to understand why so many dislike him..
It's crazy watching Phineas Godwin when he's young and spry. Who would have thought he would become the company's hottest star as Mideon.
a lot of people demanding title shots in wcw, like every episode
Best series on ALfirst
You are killing it! This is the best show on ALfirst and probably better than anything network tv. Cheers bro!
I want super brawl make a comeback.
McMahon _threatens to sue WCW because the name Avalanche is too close to Earthquake_ McMahon _has Billionaire Ted skits with Scheme Gene, the Huckster and Nacho Man and tells WCW to go f*** themselves when asked to stop_
Am I the only person that always hated Hulk Hogan
What happened with Heenan?
It's very interesting to watch how Nitro forced WWF to produce more compelling and competitive matches to compete with WCW. You can literally watch Raw get better each week to keep pace with Nitro
I'll never understand why wrestlers think they have to redo a spot when there's a botch. It just screams that it's all phony.
Vince whining about WCW. The irony.
RIP road warriors
Wild timing on the thumbnail RIP Animal
Truly these were the good old days of wrestling. If your willing to fight tooth and nail you can come out on top and that money doesn't always win. Most of WCW wrestlers including Bischoff were at the mercy of WWE when the dust settled.
RIP THE ROAD WARRIORS
Great series
You know how to make it better, showing the winnings show main event!!!
Yeah that first women at 25:20 is Nancy Benoit
Nitro was the best because it was on free tv in uk 😀
If Sherri actually was out that was pretty s***** of Madusa to then attack her after the match. Surely she should have checked to see if she was ok
Wrestling bios you are a G.O.A.T. 🐐 this series is so amazing
Just found this channel. Is this series episode by episode? As in an is it episode no. 20 of head to head Monday night wars? Awesome by the way 😎✌️
I used too switch between both shows, until I saw Scott Hall show up on WcW.
Just catch up on the reliving the war great series keep up the good work Wrestling Bios
But, what jokes were made there....?....
Mankind's first WWF promo! I member watching this.
96 wcw was like 91 wwf(e) crazy how you can redo the same story lines in another company and be successful but that only lasted for a few years before the NWO
I always hate when hawk no sells the piledriver
Anytime Ric Flair wrestled wearing all Red, he would always lose... except for this night!!! Finally Woooo.
HBK @ that time was basically unbeatable & untouchable, his push was so strong @ that time, but he was making everybody he wrestled against look good too though .
Best Wrestling channel. Fact.
Awesome show, great format informative commentary thanks mate you know your stuff you earned a subscriber in me 👍
Diesel was a better Roman Reigns than Roman.. He was a better more over babyface champ the fans cheered and this isn't even the peak of his popularity once he's in the nWo. I take Diesel Power over Roman Empire. I take WWF 1995-1996 over the past 15 years
Love your content man, A+. I noticed your logo is similar to wrestlinginc though if you care.
Bring back meaningful managers.
Question. Will Thunder and Smackdown become part of the series? The storyline continuation would make that a needed factor.
Your videos are getting too long. I don't come here for play by play, I come here for substance.
I anticipate these Thursday uploads with the same level of excitement I use to have for Nitro & Raw. Besides AEW, this is a great breath of fresh air for the wrestling (fan) community. Great work man.
I was born on this day ... wild
Road Warriors vs Faces of Death...yes please!!!
Ur just a nitro fanboy
How did Bret get that black eye? (In real life)
I agree 💯% with you giving the point to Raw for the Shawn Michaels/Yokozuna (Rest In Power, Yokozuna!), But I disagree with you giving the point to Raw concerning Roddy Piper being put in as the new President of the Then-WWF. Sherri Martel and Madusa had a very fierce fight, which would have caused me to give that point to WCW. This, however, is only my opinion. You're doing a great job with this series! I love it, & I'm glad that I subscribed!
You should get ICOPRO to sponsor this series lol.
Great channel great content, so glad this channel exists
I find it real ironic that wwf at the time bitched about WCW going head to head against raw and how it hurts fans... 24 years later WWE does the same thing to aew
I really hope you go all the way until WCW dies
I'm hoping you will do one on the wcw boston brawl
The IIconics broke up 😭😭😭
I should of asked for you to keep a weekly tally for the Neilsen TV ratings so we can keep up on both scores each week!
I was at that Nitro! I was 8.
Bring me the head of Meng
I still can’t believe Roddy Piper was able to be in wrestlemania and starcade in the same year
Can you do the Wrestling Bios, of Shane "The Franchise" Douglas?? He had a fighting money making career almost like Ric Flair, on how he does in WCW, then WWF, ECW, Then WWF again, Then ECW Again and WCW Again til he ends up independents.
Can't wait to see D'generation x and nWo
This series is legit one of the only good things about 2020
You should do a video about Scott Steiner’s transition to his Big Poppa Pump character, and also a video about DDP’s rise in WCW
Both are great ideas
Yes please!
Carlin
You're right about not mentioning the over the top rope DQ. It's only a DQ if the ref sees it.
Love this series. Thank you.
Vince is the biggest hypocrite. He intentionally went out of his way to ruin and end territories by stealing their biggest talent and a bunch of the time he misused them and wasted their talent which didn't matter as long as his competition was gone. Then when someone put up a fight he cried foul and acted like a spoiled brat. Vince at the time revolutionized wrestling, but now it has turned out he's ruined it and put almost a death date on it. Turning it into a monopoly has allowed it to become stale and a joke. Him, hogan, and Stephanie shouldn't be allowed within a mile of a wrestlin arena or production
What's the private video in the playlist between raw vs nitro 19 and R vs N 20? Is it a video only for patron(sp) members?
I gotta question.... how come you don’t interact with fans or respond to messages???
I wish there could've been a Thunderlips and Clubber Lang appearances in the last Rocky Balboa! He could've come full circle with all his former foes.
Konan is a terrible luchador.
You cud do this for SD vs Raw During the original Brand split?
Yours is one of the very few channels I have subscribed and rang the bell for. In the past I couldn't wait for Thursday because of Seinfeld... Now... It's because of Reliving the War.
4:33. Shawn Michael’s looks so twisted.
ニューアーツニューアート❤ Wrestling Bios
Flair getting a "tainted" victory isn't a problem. He IS the "dirtiest player in the game", you know.
20 years from now I'll be looking for you to do NXT vs AEW Wednesday night war! I Caught up on the whole thing in 1 day this weekend. Oh my god this is a great series dude. Keep it up!
imagine if Goldberg jackhammered Yokozuna
Crazy to think somebody born in 1972 (Giant/Big Show) was main eventing WCW Nitro in January 1996.
Man, I want the next installment now. One is not enough.... Great job as always. Thankyou.
Amazing work! I look forward to this every week! Miss these days!!
These are awesome
Cant wait 1997 starts
All your shows are awesome and you are probably a busy dude but if you ever wanted a new show idea I'd watch an entire series on the history of moves. Like who invented the power bomb, who made it famous, what are some legendary spots, how did it change through the years like becoming a transition move or illegal, finally who hit it the best/sold it the best. Overall I love this channel and think you'd do an amazing job covering it.
According to the Road Worriors themselves, If they won a match without doing the doomsday device it was because there opponent for the match would let them know that they were afraid to take it. So Barberian probably asked LOD not to do it.
Sherri had fantastic legs.
What the hell is going in wcw Brian pilman and aa are not friends with taskmaster but ric flair and giant are friends and sting and luger inspite of being face and heel are tag champions
I look forward to these videos just like I looked forward to Monday nights back in the mid 90's.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone no sell a damn piledriver
After catching up, I have become one of the faithful that eagerly awaits the next installment. Keep up the great work.
I will admit to liking one scene from the Parker/Sherri wedding and that's during the breakup brawl with Madusa and Sherri and everyone starts running, just past the camera you can see Disco Inferno running off with a few bottles of champagne stuffed in his jacket, classic stuff.
I really like this channel can't wait till 97!
Nitro is gonna get crazy by summer 96 cant wait til then
This is way before wcw fans became aew fans 🖕🏾
Why would Ric Flair need that ridiculous ingratitude Jimmy Hart?
That Medusa suplex was right on the neck 😬😂
I absolutely love listening to this series while showering. Your descriptive narrative helps me visualize it. Excellent work!
Keep up the great work... you definitely landed on something that’s original.. no one else is or has done this ... very interesting and entertaining.. my record is pretty similar to yours probably s lil different with the ties
I was a young teen when the Monday night wars happened and being so young, it all seems like one big blur to me. This series not only brings back childhood memories but a grown adult perspective which is amazing. Thank you for this series 🙏
I know I've said it before but I truly appreciate your work with this series. It helps me unwind and forget about the stress of life.
The WWF whining about WCW competing against them was REALLY RICH. That was the height of McMahon hypocrisy. I enjoyed both companies around this time, but JFC, you wanna talk about a lack of self awareness there?
