Raw vs Nitro "Reliving The War" takes a look at the Monday Night television ratings battle between WCW Monday Nitro and WWF Monday Night Raw. Many fans of professional wrestling feel that both the WWF and WCW put on their absolute best television during this time period, a time period that tested the creativity of promoters and writers within the wrestling landscape. In 1995 though, and even in early 1996, both WCW and the WWF were trying to find new ways to innovate through their television shows while also staying one step ahead of the competition.
We have arrived at episode 13, it's the 4th of December 1995, Raw is showing taped matches while Nitro is live on TNT. The WWF will present an intercontinental title match on Raw this week while WCW plans to grab viewers attention with a WCW Heavyweight Championship match. Superstars featured on Raw and Nitro include Razor Ramon, The Giant, Ric Flair, Sid, Fatu, Lex Luger and The British Bulldog. We also have a health update on Shawn Michaels, his personal physician shares some news regarding HBK's future in wrestling. It's Raw vs Nitro, it's the WWF vs WCW, and it would soon turn into a battle for survival.

Yo is that Brian zane as macho man? Lmao
Good series thanks sir.
As long as we can agree Sir Charles is a better knight than Sir Mo it's all okay with me. Also, with how thickly layered on that last Shawn segment was i was entirely expecting Dr. Feelgood to diagnose Shawn with "Lost Smile".
Don't judge me....but I have that Undertaker cardboard cut out
That ending credits Macho Man voiceover was TeeHee-ous!
Amazing job. They might hire you at one of the Feds!
Feels like Dean Douglas was a big part of WWF back then. He just came in and happened to have a lot of tv time for as short as he was there.
The whole post concussion lark is a touch ironic given what happened with Test and Benoit in years to come!
Damn so Charles Barkley was skinny at 1 point in time
Barkly should have received the point.
Vince was a moron putting Randy Savage on the commentaters table. as you pointed out he still had many good years ahead.
If you are looking forward to the conclusion to the Sherri/Parker storyline, don't worry. You will only have to wait until September 96!
Hogan loves nothing but the colour of money brother LMAO
I can't thank this series enough my personal time machine
22:53 XD
I used to watch both But WCW was on free tv And The other was Sky tv so not as much on the WWF side
Jay Lethal at the end?
I liked the episode but two things stuck out to me: 1. Do you have a beef with barry d.? 2. King Mabel promo over Flair promo?
This series is excellent.
Seriously was there a more bland, boring wrestler ever then Lex Luger? His promos sucked ass, he wasn’t entertaining to watch and was overall just terrible. He had one gimmick and that was the narcissist after that he became the bland blonde muscular guy. Why they ever pushed him is beyond me (both WCW and WWF). Also he looks like a bonehead in almost every appearance. Especially that Summerslam match with Yokozuna where he apparently was just as happy with winning via count out as winning the actual title. I disagree with you, he did NOT put good matches together EVER.
Marcus bagwell was the brother of my 2nd grade teacher.
Raws main event was trash!!
This man is very entertaining keep up the good work along with the videos.
The absolute best time of the week this series is unreal keep the good work coming thanks 🙏
Getting excited evry upload of mon. Nyt war
Give Luger his due... he says openly he was never a wrestling fan and it was about money... it’s not what you want to hear but it’s honest.. something lacking greatly in general nowadays
always like WCW matches
Wait that one guy was the re4 merchant 😳
Heel Backlund was content
Don’t let any of your hard mates see you watch it 😂
love it love it! as a junior in high school on the west coast, I got to watch all of both shows. stream #tyreevision
The Macho - Vince stuff has always been interesting. I don't think Vince thought Macho couldn't go but I think he wanted to keep Macho on a pedestal rather than be used to get guys over. I am doubtful on the Steph claims..get the sense Vince loved Macho much like Shawn later and Taker towards end of Taker's career.. So Vince felt totally betrayed/bitter as time went on. Now I'm not saying it was a homosexual thing, could have been platonic, but you can just tell Vince feels strongly about certain wrestlers and in the Taker docu can see how much loyalty means to him. So I think it may just be that combo as to why Vince took it personally and had Macho blacklisted. Just my theory / speculation on it.
🤣🤣🤣 13 episodes and I JUST NOW realized that the intro is a mashup of the nitro music and the raw lyrics. 🤦♂️ I cant believe I managed to procreate being that oblivious to things 🤣🤣🤣
19:12 referees taking bumps are always hilarious LOL
Wow. Macho came back from the dead to do a Wrestling Bios Promo. MADNESS!!!
Say whatever you want about Bob Holly, he’s still got the best drop kick in the business.
JM1993951 or Owen hart
The only thing Vince didnt do was make out with Shawn on live tv.
Can't wait for the episodes from july 1996 to April 1998 we are almost there bcuz this is the time when both raw and nitro started putting up great shows really looking forward to those episodes
yes we needa barry dadinski soundbite!
I’ve never been a fan of Lex Luger either
I feel like nitro got robbed this week
Nitro before nwo will always be special to me
Nitro with the W
Unhinged Bob Backlund is underrated. I like him acting like a lunatic.
WCW 4 Life
The Harlem heat were underrated.
Jeff Hardy or John Cena (Rapper) bio would be a good video
Any chance you will cover the ruthless aggression era. I watched the WWE documentary, I'd love to get your take on the era.
This guy does great videos
"Hogan doesn't like anything other than the color of money, brother" Wrestling Bios- 2020
Damn, that Raw episode was terrible. I can't believe I watched that every Monday night.
Anyone know the song in the beginning
Went from Cornette's pod cast to wrestling bios both bringing up Lex
This was the only time Mabel could be considered better than Ric Flair 😂
Wrestling War Unlimited
The Harlem Hangover is one of my favorite finishes.
you sould do a vid about some of favourite wwf . wwe backsage segment
I had to watch that doctor segment as soon as I was done and it is pretty funny. It's also funny that in the clip of Shawn hitting the mat none of the fans in the first few rows seem worried at all. And when the doctor is trying to sell how serious it is, he lists symptoms like "nausea" and "numb toes." Poor Shawn.
I remember being like 6 for that Michaels promo at the end and I bought it 100% when he came back and had a match and took some blows to the head my dad was like "see? He's attacking his weak brain" I was like "whoaaa"
Damn, went to watch the next episode and realize I'm caught up now!
Awesome content!!!!
Maybe instead of a jingle just have the "welcome" the merchant says or "what are you buying" I have to say every time you call him the Resident Evil 4 merchant I laugh.
omg thats rikishi crazy
I didn't realize that angle for Shawn used CVMC. That place is garbage.
I wish wrestling bios would stop stealing segments from vee infuso
I am a loyal www fan not was Into nwa or Jim Crockett or wcw as being from northeast I never got it on my tv and I was rooting hard for wwf and checking ratings on the internet and I don’t know how with that show they pulled of the win this week or should I say weak
08:03 Fatu rocking that Bone Street Krew gear
Absolutely love the reliving the war series, thank you for providing these great in depth videos.
Thanks again man. I love these. And I'm watching them with you. Your wrestling bio helped me through quarantine. Had to say thank you and much respect. And please don't let nothing stop you from delivering these slices of wrestling goodness. Much love brother. Keep doing your thing.
Calling Dr. Unger, calling Dr. Unger.
I seriously look forward to these every week, like I'm watching one of my favorite TV shows! (which I guess this basically is.....) Love it, man. KEEP IT UP!!!! Every week!!!
Shane Douglas wasn't released he left.
Please keep this going it’s great
"...and Raw gives us Marty Janetty vs. Sid" How mean RAW! D=
Love the series including this episode but the randy savage impersonation at the end was cringeworthy
The Bargain Hunt theme when Barry turns up!
Luger's selling? Brah, check out OSW review take on that asap :p
Ha Ha Ha. Another point to Brother Love. The last few weeks MVP
Good call on the production values...was even true in the glory days to come, but WWF's production was so much better than WCW's at this point.
Doing a great job as usual man! I love how Fatu had the BSK beanie on.
Answer great reliving the war episode but Michael Jordan was the best player in the nba at the time not Barkley
This is becoming my favorite show
"Got some good things on sale stranga"
The American Meals
Oh so the Luger Savage match was good until the interference....You mean BECAUSE OF HOGAN. WE GET IT YOU LOVE HOGAN. GOD DAMN SHAME YOU CAN'T AND WON'T BE HONEST
I snuck backstage on a raw in 98 when I was like 14. Barkley was backstage there too.
“Tell Me A Lie” lol classic.
Love your program been a fan since day one however I noticed sometimes when you talk about certain promos and matches you recommend that we go and watch it for ourselves however I've noticed that it's hard to find a lot of the matches and especially the promos. in the future would it be possible for you to maybe put a link in the description boxfor some of the matches and promos that you recommend for those of us who have not seen them we can go back and look them up
Love this series thanks man
Great show man
Honestly look forward to this series more than Raw, SmackDown, NXT and Dynamite each week
Luger and savage both with miss Elizabeth.But think randy was best for her
That "Hogan likes nothing but the color of money" line was great.
I appreciate the work you put into these videos but in my opinion i think you should do a couple of these a week. One a week is just not enough. At that pace it's gonna be a good while before we get to the really good Raw and Nitro shows.
Holly did have a very nice drop kick
Love these vids man. Thank you for doing this.
You might be able to forget rikishi doing a splash but I never will
"1 minute and 26 seconds of my life I'll never get back" i love it
Twice a week! Twice a week!
RE: Having to give a point: I feel, if you’re going to grant ties to the networks (as done in the past), then perhaps tossing out the garbage matches would be acceptable too. I don’t know what would’ve been on network television during this time period, but I have a feeling I’d be channel surfing through both matches there.
