Raw vs Nitro "Reliving The War": Episode 136 - June 1st 1998 

21:49, Jericho foreshadowing 22 years in advance of his wife being in the same place. Now that's storytelling

"I got 2 words for you."..... "Shut up!" LOL

Chris jericho being at the capitol in 1998 is hilariously ironic

RIP Lanny 'The Genius' Poffo

“Goldberg killed Kenny” is such a 1998 sign lol I love it Also - Hillbilly cyborgs is a hell of a movie concept.

Jericho being outside the capitol building complaining of a conspiracy is some excellent foreshadowing and storytelling

Aaaahhh 😍🥳 We're the jam-up couple, the two German bratwursts Freddy and Michael 🥰🥹 Thank you so much 😌 Seriously - it‘s an honor 🙏

That outfit taker came out in for his promo…. I’ll never forget as a kid seeing this and being like, “wait…. Why’s he look so….. normal?”

2+ years on and I still cant get enough of this show. Thank you so much for making my Thursdays the best day of the week!

FINALLY, we get to the best period of the Monday Night Wars : June 98 to April 99!

"An old rivalry gets reignited, but there's no physicality." Great description of Shamrock/Severn at UFC 9.

Alex looking at that "Size Does Matter" sign was perfect! I'm still laughing!! Saturday Wright Fever, baby! That Jericho segment was gold!

RIP “The Genius” Lanny Poffo

I love Bret's "shut up" comment LOL

Did he just call Kevin Nash " flamingo legs" ?😆😆😆

Okay the skeet skeet line broke me. Whoever does those Alex Wright bratwurst lines for you is gold.

RIP Lanny Poffo .

RIP Lanny Poffo 😿

Rest in peace Lanny Poffo...

I was laughing so hard at the Steve Blackman/ Jacqueline bit 🤣 😂

This show makes Thursday the best day of the week.

Wonderful way to close the day

The whole love triangle between Jacky, Mero and Steve Blackman was my whole reason for tuning in week to week as young boy

just heard that Lanny "the Genius" Poffo has died today.

I completely forgot we are heading into KOTR 98, I remember that was a crazy week on both companies (wont spoil anything but you can easily look it up), watching it all unfold again after so many years its so great, and best part is I don't have to stay up past my bed time to watch it. And yeah Chris Jericho was really something else in WCW, I just don't understand how Bichoff couldn't see the talent he had in his hand and just let him go, the guy could make a story out of eating a sandwich and actually make you care about the damn sandwich, I'm so happy Vince saw his potential and gave him the chance he deserved.

"Skeet skeet skeet, slap your bratwurst across my cheek" LMAO best one yet!!! God I love you Wrestling Bios

One of the best creators and series on RU-vid, thank you for making Thursdays something to look forward to. I wear my mufugger shirt and I can tame siberian tigers and dodge rain.

That raw show with the Undertaker is pure gold ! Taker shows the other side of his character, a simple human with human wishes. This Is My favorite period of Taker until SummerSlam'98.

Yeah it's obvious that Bret "the insider" Hart was where they were going. Would have been so awesome. Shame it didn't work for someone...brother :/

Me every Thursday around this time: "FINALLY! A NEW RELIVING THE WAR!" as if they don't come out every week, at the same time, without fail. Thanks as always for this awesome series.

Summer to Fall '98 was just the absolute best. Both companies were putting out quality every week and ECW was joining them, particularly with the Triple Threat/Taz feud.

Hey Wrestling Bios dude! As a fan, I wanted to show my gratitude for all your hard work. In 2014, my wrestling-fanatic uncle showed me an early 90's Fabulous Freebirds match. I loved their charisma mixed with their athleticism. I was so drawn, I asked him tons of questions, but he encouraged me to learn for myself. "I can't point you to a specific year or time. There's so much stuff that happened that you kinda have to start somewhere and build on it." So I did. I watched ppvs with him and he taught me about wrestlers, essential rules and moves. He also gave me his WWE Network login so I could watch things on my own. I subbed to tons of wrestling channels and listened to every podcast I could find. I enjoyed seeing the modern athleticism and got pretty caught up in storylines, but over time, specifically in 2017-2018, my enjoyment began to decline. The territories, classic wrestlers, and everything that happened decades before seemed so much more interesting. So I completely stopped watching modern wrestling. I can tell you, going from the 2010's-2020's to the mid-1970's really shocked me. I saw no entrances. Heard no music. No complex movesets. I couldn't get over how formal the announcers were, how the referees checked the wrestlers before every match, and how knowledgeable the commentators were. I felt like I was watching wrestling on Mars! But, as strange as it felt, I see now that I began to appreciate the changes wrestling would go through over time. As time went on, I learned more about the wrestlers I came to love, hate, and admire. Your channel helped with a lot of that. I grew accustomed to roasting like everyone else, but you showed me the great moments people dismiss or don't even notice. You showed me the potential in every wrestler, to make my own conclusions, even giving me clarity on what is difficult to understand. I currently follow your Reliving The War series, and I'm in June '96, when the war starts heating up. I've learned so much from you and I hope you'll always have success on RU-vid, Patreon, and other platforms. Much love from Kentucky, USA!

I used to love watching Alex Wright. I remember him ONLY being on WCW and also remember that tragic switching of character to Berlyn. You know, He would be great for a video documentary as well someday. he even reacted to your videos before, i wonder how much insight he would be willing to give for some matches that looked like things did NOT go as planned or just his side of the while WCW experience. Thank you for these videos and rampages through nostalgia. They're both bittersweet and reminiscent of better times in the industry

From the different factions getting out the Limo on Nitro, to the Dan Severn and Shamrock stare down on Raw, to Mick Foley going back to Mankind and reigniting his rivalry with Undertaker, to Booker T and Chris Benoit’s seven match series continuing on Nitro and Sting turning NWO Wolfpac…one of the most exciting nights ever in wrestling when I was a kid. The magic of switching between USA and TNT 🧨

By this time, when we see a new RTW uploaded, we pop louder than an Attitude Era crowd when the glass shatters. 💀🍺

A video about Raven and the Flock would be so awesome

RIP Lanny poffo

This show as well the Kevin Nash podcast Monday mornings are the absolute only wrestling shows I follow 🤘

Its great that Jericho was writing all his own material in his amazing 1998 run imagine if WCW put him in the main event picture

Mid-1990s: Nitro and Raw made Monday nights a day for must-see TV 2020s: Reliving the War made Thursdays a day for must-see videos

Heel lex luger was a treasure.....

WCW's midcard was ridiculously deep.

Sad war day Thursday r.i.p Lanny poffo hope he's with macho

it's that muhfugin time of the week.. Reliving The Muhfugin War 🔥🔥

Bret Hart looks like a miserable James May when he cuts these "I love Hulk Hogan" promos

Reliving my childhood by reliving the war.

Future tag champs Jarrett vs Owen for the kotr finals!

You're right! Jericho barging into the U.S. Capitol searching for "evidence" does hold up.

When the nWo was getting stale, the red and black gave it more juice. Back in the day I was dying to get a shirt

I’ve been waiting a long time for this episode. One of the first raw/nitro episodes I ever remember seeing. Sting joining the wolfpac was so iconic for me and my friends but the build to the king of the ring (hiac/first blood) might be my favorite build of all time. I’m from the Chicagoland area and had a buddy who was at Raw that night. So jealous. I’m instantly transported back to the 4th grade watching this. The next month of reliving the war is gonna rule!

This Undertaker promo is so strange... they seem to be trying so hard to humanize him and make him seem like a real guy, yet within a few months they basically turn him into Satan lol Chris Jericho is the greatest

Watching the Jericho promo, back when crazy people could approach the Capitol without problems. Good times?!

Great content as always Bios. Wanted to take a moment and give respect to how you treat Mark Curtis. Legend.

This entire channel is a shrine to Steve Muffugin Blackman and that is totally fine.

I love that Dan Severn always looked like he was either a beer league softball enthusiast or a very large accountant.

I wonder if there was a taller two main events in the history of the war with Taker, Kane, The Giant, Hogan and Nash all in these two.

RIP Lanny Poffo crazy

I miss these days of having awesome signs in the crowd

I made a hearty stack of pancakes for all that extra jam

Always perfect timing for my lunch break! Thanks for doing this series and all the other videos!

Man, it’s heartbreaking to see what happened to Blackman in this episode. I hope he bounces back.

How you story tell the Muffuga’s matches is truly amazing!

Only started this series recently but been loving it already. Keep up the good work! 😁

This is the only thing good about Thursdays and some Sundays. Man I love this series and this channel. I'm so glad I subbed to this channel when I did. I've been here for quite awhile now and I've never disliked any videos you've ever made on here Wrestling Bios.. You are my entire world WB. I hope you realize this and NEVER forget it 😉😂😎💯🤟🏻🤘🏾✊🏿🫶🏼🙌

I hope you know how much this means to me seeing this every Thursday when I’m at work, it really does get me by

I didnt watch WCW, but watching old Attitude clips leaves me with the age old saying You Dont Know What You Got Till It's Gone!!!

The Jericho skit was hilarious.

I can't help but smile every time that sweet southern gentleman Tennessee Lee takes the mic. He was such a great character and it makes me sad he didn't stick around the WWE longer. Also, I don't know how in the world Mick Foley kept a straight face when Mr. McMahon screamed "HIT ME WITH THE BLOODY CHAIR!!!"

Jericho being Canadian makes the trip to DC even better.

Had to suck for Bret being kayfabe buddies with Hogan on screen

I remember when this episode of Raw aired, it was so weird seeing Taker go out there in his sweats and cut a worked shoot promo. I think it was the closest we’d seen him get to breaking character at that point.

You know who could use Bios? The referees! I'd watch the hell out if Bios for them.

Yes! Finally, the build to KotR 98 begins! :D

Your introduction of Alex Wright is funny as hell!!!

I was just a wee lad of 7½ years old when this happened, and I thought it was probably one of the great things ever! 3 of my top favorites(Sting, Macho, Nash) were in the same faction. Plus the addition of Konan and even "Flexy Lexxy" were awesome, esp. K-Dawg! That entrance was and still is one of my favorites! Thanks again for the near 40min drip of nostalgia! 🙏🏼

Every Thursday, so many of us look forward to these videos. Thank you so much for all the time you spend on them

9 year old me was at Nitro with my dad and brother for my bday on the 4th of June. Sting was my favorite wrestler. I think this show got me into watching every week. My dad watched wrestling the way u make these videos he’d turn back and forth.

Rip lanny poffo

Lol Kevin Nash hit the giant with the jumping big boot 😂

The irony of Jericho at this point

Looking back and seeing how sad Bret's WCW run was, makes me insanely sad. Vince was telling the truth when he told Bret he could go,but "they won't know what to do with you"

Wrestling bios content make my day . Love this channel !

Well, after two months, I am finally caught up with Reliving the War!! I'd like to thank Wrestling Bios for doing this monumental and still ongoing work of reviewing the entire Monday Night Wars. When I started watching, I knew short pints of the Attitude Era and much less of WCW and Nitro, but today I feel much more educated in the regards. I really enjoy all the jokes and the way you relate the shenanigans. It's gonna feel weird to hold out for every Thursday now, but I'm sure as hell gonna find it worth the wait. Thanks again! I love your content, I hope this series gets even more exposure!

Bios thx man. I miss those days just outta high school. Just in my twenties. It always was my life. You bringing this back makes my days

I thought you had abandoned greatness, but 19:22 gave me hope!😂

8:04 Mcmahon's revenge dance with a scrunched up face is just about the funniest thing ever!! 😂😂😂

I agree, the sound of that WCW ring is unmatched. It's one reason I keep going back and watching old WCW shows.

Your work ethic is incredible. Thank you for all you do for us.

The best part of Thursday, a new Reliving the War!

Thanks for making my Friday better Wrestling bios!

I remember watching this episode live and losing my mind when Sting joined Hogan only to reveal Wolfpack. Felt those same emotions watching it on RTW. Also have been waiting to see the Jericho visit around DC to find a loophole for weeks. Great episode l. Keep up the great work

I was drinking some water just as the Alex Wright segment started. Nearly choked from laughing at that one, so thanks for that 😅

This was one of my favorite undertaker promos growing up. And hearing the stories that led up to it

I look forward to this show every week! I've said it since episode one this is the best channel on RU-vid! Awesome work, great content, and perfect presentation! It's the best story ever told! Living durring the war and watching it back then and then watching it the way wrestling bios shows it, is almost just as good as watching it back then! So entertaining and just awesome

I lost count about for how many weeks your work kept me entertained Thanks man

I love the kid at the 8:08 mark in the middle flipping the bird to the camera.

It's unreasonably hilarious to me how Undertaker in regular clothes looks like if Peter Steele were a wrestler

Once again thank you for another amazing video! Wrestling bios has been nothing but a blessing you have no idea how cool it is to re-watch all this entertainment that I grew up on, you are the best my dude!!!

I almost choked on my food during the Alex Wright segment.

Another good week for Raw and Nitro. I have to give it to Nitro again. The main event of Raw is great too.
