Reliving The War Episode 27.5 - April 8th 1996 (Unopposed WWF Raw) - a podcast by wrestlingbios

Another special episode of Reliving The War this week as WWF Raw goes unopposed. 

WCW Monday Nitro was pre-empted on 4.8.96 so the WWF had a free night on the USA Network. Once again, the WWF would try to capitalize by presenting some of the biggest names in the company including Shawn Michaels, Diesel, Vader, Davey Boy Smith and Owen Hart. This episode also features the Raw debut of The Ultimate Warrior, who made his return at WrestleMania 12. The WWF try to turn the Monday Night War in their favour by putting on an entertaining show, and it actually worked. The World Wrestling Federation would win the ratings war 5 times in a row… but it was the last winning streak the WWF would have for quite a long time. As we get further into 1996, the wheels begin falling off as WCW begin firing on all cylinders.
