When WCW Monday Nitro was created to go head to head with WWF Monday Night Raw, fans were treated to some of the greatest televised wrestling ever produced. Eric Bischoff and Ted Turner challenged Vince McMahon by producing WCW Nitro, airing on TNT every Monday at same time as the WWF’s flagship Monday Night Raw show. Fans and viewers had a choice, they could check out superstars of the WWF or they could see what this new WCW television show was all about. This era in wrestling, known as the “Monday Night Wars”, has become legendary to fans who lived through this particular time period. Many would say that wrestling was at it’s absolute peek during the Monday Night Wars between World Championship Wrestling and the World Wrestling Federation.
This series takes a look at each week of the iconic Monday Night Wars. We have arrived at episode 12, it’s the 27th of November 1995. WCW have just finished up with their November Pay Per View where Macho Man Randy Savage became the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Over on the WWF side, another new champion was beginning his third reign, Bret “The Hitman” Hart had defeated Diesel at the Survivor Series 1995 PPV and he was getting prepared to defend the title against all challengers.

Some obsession with Chains in RAW for this episode.
Wwf even in the darkest days was actually way better than wcw when u look back. Wcw just had solid midcarders like the cruiser weights and eventually the NWO and crow sting but that’s really it
Love this channel
I would award the Kimberly segment over Ahmed. Rad wasn’t spectacular and exciting Johnson loses the interview, while I found it a refreshing new focus for Kimberly. I also don’t find it fair to even consider removing a point because of hindsight. I thought It’s about the entertainment value at that segment time, notafterwards.
Not trying to be negative, just giving my viewpoints. I appreciate these amazing video reviews you do for us. Your work is absolute gold, please keep it up!
Youre not the only one who disliked brother love. Couldn’t stand the character. I’d rather watch a Goon or Bastien Booger match lol
Raw should have picked up on that Hogan comment and introduced satirical character called 'Brother Friend' lol be better than brother love at least 😂
The mayor of merchandise! Lol Class!
Would have been great to see what Owen would have done during the Rock/Stone Cold era. RIP.
Side note, Bull Nakano is also a pro golfer. Maybe she should team up with Varry Darsow?
The Sting/Luger friendship was one of the few great booking ideas in WCW. It was interesting to have a face and heel remain good friends and even team up from time to time. Of course, the whole angle is dropped when the nWo arrive and nearly all of WCW was turned face because of it.
Surprised that you didnt mention Hogans beef with the dirt sheets.
This would be a good WWE network show. Vince needs to hire this dude
"Playing it safe" was an interesting choice o words to describe the WWF Joshi match... It has been said that the match you saw was where Bull Nakano suffered her career ending injury. She became a pro golfer for a time after her Joshi career.
You have one of the bests voices in the IWC. When I can’t sleep I’ll put on the playlist of this and you get me sleeping by the end. Then I come back and actually watch them the next day cause you’re also really good at telling a story. Seriously, keep on putting out great content
I’ll be honest I never watched WCW so watching this series has shown me what I missed or didn’t as the case may be
Best series on you tube 🏆👌🏻💯
As Kevin Sullivan said Hulk was dying and he needed the nwo way more then the nwo needed him. This is the least amount of crowd support Hogan ever got.
Women's wrestling in the 90s didn't suck they just didn't have enough great performers. Medusa and luna was awesome. But yeah they could have invested more
Ur opening is too long ans i alwayz fast forward thru it.. Love the vidz keep em comin.. Maybe a lil faster
Man so much quality in these videos. Thanks for letting me relive my childhood. WHC sighting with Macho Man
Hulk was the worst
I definitely disagree with the main event
Fun fact, Hogan was originally meant to go over the top rope and give Savage a clean win. He used his creative control to change the finish IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MATCH to what we saw.
Please quit calling Barry the Resident Evil 4 Merchant. The RE4 Merchant actually sells useful things that are worth the money, and we LIKE it when he shows up. Stop besmirching the good name of the RE4 Merchant by associating him with Barry Dodinsky (or however you spell it)!
Hogan got different crowd reactions dependent on where they were, one week he’d be booed the next he’d have massive cheers.
The Hogan hating is ridiculous the reason WW3 ended as it did was because the long term game was to get to Hogan & Savage these controversies were a part of the storyline
besr series on youtube!!!
OBSERVE THIS BROTHER, THIS IS WHAT WE CALL A RAG SHEET BROTHER!
I was two days old when these episodes of Raw and Nitro aired
This is seriously the best new wrestling series on ALfirst BY FAR. I'm all in on this one and already addicted.
Main event MOE! MOE MOE MOE MOE MOE . . . I don't know Jay Hunter, I think Moe might be getting over after all
“A whole fucken week” 🤣🤣
and once bill demott faced Hogan, he believed he was qualified to teach wrestling..
Not afraid to admit that Bull Nakano is part of the reason I love thicc women today. Dem thighs, man...
Incredible work as always good sir. It is amazing the amount of dedication and time you take to put these videos together.
Morris did botch the moonsault, but he didn't actually miss. There was unprotected head to head contact. That's why Hogan is "selling", if you look he reacts to his head, which is not what you are trained to do with a splash. They clearly smacked heads.
I’m with you on the Brother Love opinion. 👎🏻
Hulk hogan has the worst hairdo on earth just shave your head bruh you look so stupid tryna pull off the terry bradshaw lmao
Best thing on ALfirst right now for sure!
I was never into Brother Love either... didn't think anyone was...?
Gawd, I hate sqaush matches. Just dumb.
I been enjoying series
Love this series, great job
I'm really looking forward to '97-'99. When the WWF turned everything around, and started beating out WCW in the ratings.
Main Event Mo... the OSW boys would be proud
Although for me personally video is ruined with the "black/white RF static effect", every other scene. The static effect alters state of mind, they were pioneered that way, by at the time leading psychologists. It was a psychological weapon. What usually happened when the b&w static came into view. It triggered low esteem angered state, as it would also signify that a TV channel lost broadcasting signal. What happened to people who were sitting too close to TV appliances, they'd be willing to sit there for hours not caring about anything else, and if broadcast was interrupted they'd appear lost and very touchy. I love your work and videos, 4 minutes in can't taken it any more. Apologies.
Thank you for the montage. I'm so bitterly disappointed with the current professional wrestling, it's in a dreadful state. We are getting more performers coming in, but none of them can hold the crowds interest.
I really like these .. it makes me wanna go watch wcw
its just crazy to me how Undertaker never lost any muscles in 20+ years. He's as big now as he was back then.
Wish Savage had of still been with the WWF at this time. He still had so much more to give!
That dam entro theme 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dude your doing an amazing job man!
Mo Punches the Undertaker's Mask but injures his own balls.
19:10 the hell was that?? Lmfao 😂
Someone needs to make a dvd set of monday night wars where u can watch both raw and nitro at same time on a split screen with the ratings at the bottem,,now that would be cool 😎
Ditto, I could never stand the Brother Love character
Ahmed was Goldberg, before Goldberg.
The way you said Hokuto at 11:32 makes my phone think you're saying "Ok Google."
Ah Ahmed Johnson was awesome back in the day. Like an old Bobby Lashley. If there was a fountain of youth I'd love to see those two wrestle. Also Prime DDP and Randy Orton, shawn Michaels vs AJ Styles, Samoa Joe vs Haku. Prime Hogan vs Brock Lesner!
These videos are really well done. Keep em coming!
I'm loving this series man keep doing more and would love to see you review other weekly TV episodes from the past like WCW Saturday Night , WCW Thunder etc ...
Can you post the actual win loss record for the ratings during the war I like that you post who won the weekly contest but the overall rating war is what it's all about for me. Thanks brother friend
When did PAPA SHANGO turn into KAMA does anyone know when approximately they changed his gimmick
Great as always
Wondering if you could also score who wins the ratings each week instead of just stating who has done so. Curious as to who was actually winning at the time compared to who actually had the better shows.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING BROTHER FRIEND!
Resident Evil 4 merchant always gets me.
WWE in this times seems lack of content and too much advertisement
Brian pillman would ve proud of his son today.
Savage had a legit torn triceps at WW3. Hogan was supposed to win the battle royal, but they changed the finished after Meltzer reported on Savage's injury to "prove" that he wasn't actually injured (even though he was). I'm surprised you missed Hogan's infamous "observe this" comment, where he burns a copy of the observer in the same fire he threw the dark Hogan attire into. You can see him holding what is supposed to be a rolled up copy of the observer in the clips you showed.
Brother love is a heel. U r supposed to hate him. Granted I love to hate The Weasel while brother love was annoying.
Been working my butt off brother. I promise I will get on patreon and commit soon.
I know we are a long time away from this match but I can't wait till you cover the nitro episode when Goldberg vs hulk hogan for the belt it was one of the best crowd reaction ever
Randy should've knocked him out for how long he whined about not being the champ. How could you not show a small clip of that?
Here's how I would've booked World War 3. Two battle royals one to kick off the card, and one in the middle of the show. Final two in each battle royal meet in a 4 way elimination match at the end of the night. Simpler and easier than the mess they had.
I remember this like it was yesterday, so great to live through the best years going into the attitude era
Dream Tag Match: The Undertaker and Luna Vachon vs Haku and Bull Nakano.
I hate how I have to wait a week to watch the next episode, but man is it worth it when it gets here! Keep it up, my man!
Ur not alone I never liked brother love either reminds me of a dumb version of Paul bear even tho brother was there first
If you can MAKE more videos my G PLEASE DO. This was dope. It was true. WCW. No disrespect to WWF i grew up on that and E-C Dub. But WCW all day. MUCH Love World.
Hulkamania will live forever. Or until the following July anyway.
classic jerry lawler 12:58
Having the camera focus on a smoking hot Playboy model instead of the match sucks....said nobody ever
19:11 that chair shot 😂😂😂
I think Vince In regards to Shawn was counter productive. Damn. He was nauseating to listen to then.
Great series. Keep it up. You’re sitting on a gold mine of content with this.
Early WWF days they really had no stars at all damn lol
That intro is sick
Macho Man: I'm not your buddy-friend, guy.
wcw thunder well back then I did not so much wwf/wwe Raw or smackdown to me wcw was more fun and entertaining we all had our own preferences and why not we are free to like what we want 😎
Come on 2 a week
“Jokes that would make the more fragile members of society grab their pitchforks.” LOL. That would be pretty much everyone at What Culture.
That pedigree looked brutal. I had forgotten that HHH changed the way he did that move
No disrespect to Jordan’s mention at the end but the name sounds like a jock itch cream. “If you have horrible jock itch then try new Joxide!!”
Awesome keep uploading this war reviews 👍
Excellent series. Please keep it going.
I’m sad you didn’t mention Hogan going off on a random tangent against the wrestling observer live on PPV
Macho Mans ring gear is awesome too!
WCw had the Better Under card , Wwf had better main events
I can't wait until you get to WCW under card in 1999-2001. Man they were stacked 9/10 times
