Were Flair and Hogan Failing in 1995?
According to Uncle Dave Meltzer in 1995, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair were reliving their youth in WCW and failing at it. 1995 mostly sucked, but WCW actually made money and drew houses. So, were they REALLY failing?

ECW Kicked Out of Another Hotel
It seems like a story we heard all too often in the '90s were about hotels telling ECW and its roster to never come back. Not shocking at all.

A Fake Doink as a Fake Skandor Akbar
In an old Dallas territory, they brought out a fake Skandor Akbar to mock him, and when he disrobed, it was actually Dusty Wolfe dressed as a fake Doink. That's like a Russian nesting doll from Hell.

The Rise of PPV & Death of House Shows
In 1995, we were seeing the rise of pay-per-views as a major means of making money for wrestling and the death of house shows, which used to be the big money draws. This inevitably led to more PPVs and less house shows.

Episode 143: WWF WrestleMania IX
This is generally considered one of the worst WrestleManias in history, but DANG IT! It looked super cool! This show was littered with BS finishes, weird interviews, odd segments in the crowd, and people wearing togas. Also, this is the show were Bret Hart defended the WWF Title against Royal Rumble winner, Yokozuna. After this, Hulk Hogan ends up walking out of Caesar's Palace as the WWF Champion. How? LISTEN TO FIND OUT! Also, in the news, we talk about Jim Ross leaving WCW for the WWF, steroids being a hot topic in the locker rooms, territories shutting down, women's wrestling setting attendance records, and much more!

Episode 142: TNA Against All Odds 2012
Four of the top names in the company faced off in a World Title main event match with the iconic, legendary Sting at ringside. How could this show NOT be a smash hit!? Well...we'll explain it to you. "Against All Odds" seems to be a metaphore for this company refusing to give up the ghost. It's unkillable! But specifically about show, it seemed like an extended episode of iMPACT!. Sure, Austin Aries tore it up with Alex Shelley and AJ Styles had a decent match with Kazarian. But the story of it all was, "It could have been better." Even Gail Kim vs. Tara was a bit of a miss. There was something a tad off about this, and the company as a whole, in early 2012. We delve into that a bit on this podcast. Also, a scary injury takes place in the opening match of the show. Meanwhile, in the news, we talk about Dixie Carter lying to the world about firing Vince Russo. We also talk about The Rock bringing it...via satellite...before WrestleMania 28. John Laurinaitis is NOT fired, CM Punk is getting a 3-disk DVD set, a Diva gets injured, and there's backstage heat on The Miz. That and much more on this show!

BONUS: WWF Raw, 02-05-01 (Last Raw at the Georgia Dome)
This was, to use a technical term, A SHOW. That was about it. For the final time WWF Monday Night Raw ever took place from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, it sure was a showcase of mediocrity. However, who the hell did they have to compete against!? As we mention in the news, ECW was all but shutdown at this time and WCW was supposedly shutting down temporarily after being sold to Eric Bischoff and his investors. Oh, how naïve we were to believe that WCW would live. Either way, Molly Holly is hunting down Raven and his masked female friend. The Kat is leading the charge against the Right to Censor with her "right to nudity" campaign (completely real). We see copious amounts of Vince McMahon perving on Trish Stratus in his office. Enemies The Rock and Kurt Angle are teamed up to take on two more enemies, Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin, to compete in the main event. We do get an Intercontinental Title and Tag-Team Title match on this show, however. And yes, there are tons AND TONS of mentions of the XFL across this show. Speaking of dying companies... We make it fun and entertaining, however, even if the WWF didn't bother to.

Episode 140: ECW Crossing the Line '99
This was definitely a "we watched it so that you don't have to" type of show. Taz and Sabu get into a brawl on the show, many matches start and never finish, Sid appeared on the show to powerbomb some fools, the Dudley Boyz reveal their "mysterious benefactor," and we also had a couple of decent matches on the show. Super Crazy and Yoshihiro Tajiri locked up while Rob Van Dam and Jerry Lynn do battle over the TV Title to close the show. In the news, we discuss a Japanese legend passing away, memorializing the 15-year anniversary of the passing of a Mexican legend, WCW Nitro takes a week off from getting stomped by WWF Raw, the Road Dogg seeks help for his addictions, The Giant is set to start with the WWF by St. Valentines Day Massacre (now in the archives), and much more!

Episode 139: NWA WrestleWar 1990: Wild Thing
This was a time in wrestling that was plagued by "Who could've foreseen that happening!?" In the NWA, Sting tore up his knee and completely tanked the idea to crown him the new champion at WrestleWar '90. So, what was the 180 NWA decided upon to face Ric Flair? Lex Luger! He was a fine replacement, but he didn't get the momentous win that Sting would have gotten. Also on this card, Dan Spivey completely no-showed, so in a Chicago Street Fight, the Road Warriors take on Mean Mark Callous and "the masked Skyscraper". The Midnight Express and Rock 'n' Roll Express also have, for their standards, a very average match that drags on forever. Flyin' Brian & Z-Man defend the US Tag Titles against the Freebirds, the Steiner Brothers defend the World Tag Titles against Ole & Arn Anderson, and much more! On the WWF side, they had to scramble to replace special guest referee Mike Tyson after he was knocked out in the Tokyo Dome by Buster Douglas. Also, they're working with both NJPW and AJPW. There are tons of contract issues going on in NWA. The AWA uses some disgusting tactics to draw sympathy. This all and much more on the new podcast!

The boyhood dream for HBK came true, and now, he returns home a man! Or some such nonsense. This Rumble wasn't beloved by all and didn't get amazing ratings, but the Marks genuinely enjoyed it. This was the first time ever an entrant in the Royal Rumble (Stone Cold Steve Austin) was eliminated, referees didn't see it, so they entered back into the ring and won the match. We discuss that as well as reviewing the rubber match for Sycho Sid and Shawn Michaels in the Alamodome for the WWF Title, Mexican lucha libre company AAA is involved in this gigantic show, Ahmed Johnson and Faarooq get their hands on one another, and much more. In the news, we discuss a wrestling legend making a pit stop in ECW, ECW preparing for their 1st ever PPV, Scott Hall getting beaten up as a shoot after concussing someone, tons of WWF gimmicks that went nowhere, and much more!

BONUS: Triple H Returns at MSG, 01-07-02
In May of 2001, Triple H tore his quad muscle clear off the bone during a tag-team match. He spent the rest of the year down in Alabama, rehabbing and getting stronger. When he finally returned on Monday Night Raw in Madison Square Garden in January of 2002, he got a god-like reception! However, he completely missed out on the entire Invasion storyline. There were also other controversies that popped up throughout Triple H's time off. We discuss it all and plenty more on this month's Bonus Episode!

This was the first time the WWF Title was put on the line in the 30-man Royal Rumble match and it featured an all-star lineup of superstars! The favorites going in were Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, and Sid Justice. That all came to a head at the end of the match as Ric Flair proved to be the iron man we always knew he was. Also on the card, we get a match that was about 4x too long with the Bushwhackers taking on the Beverly Brothers, the LOD put the Tag Titles on the line against the Natural Disasters as those big, meaty men slap meat, Roddy Piper goes for his first title ever in the WWF as the Mountie puts his newly won IC Title on the line, and more!

Also on this show, there's a 4-way IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag-Team Titles match, The Killer Elite Squad defends the IWGP Tag Titles against Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson of the Bullet Club, Hirooki Goto returns from injury to face long-time frienemy, Katsuyori Shibata and they BEAT THE HELL out of each other in a strong, strong, STRONG style match, and much more!

The Witcher: Blood Origin ... They Should Be Ashamed!
Netflix unleashed The Witcher: Blood Origin, a Witcher prequel mini-series, onto the public on Christmas. Happy birthday, Jesus! Netflix brough you 4 episodes of garbage. The creators of this series should be embarrassed and so should the media shills insulting people who don't like this crap.

Episode 134: WCW Starrcade 1992: BattleBowl - Lethal Lottery II
1992 was a weird year for WCW. The WWF was rolling hard! Meanwhile, WCW had multiple World Titles, Tag Titles, meaningless prizes like The King of Cable and BattleBowl, WCW Champion Ron Simmons wasn't drawing houses, there was no Ric Flair or Four Horsemen, and Bill Watts was booking. This was definitely an interesting period for WCW, who wouldn't hit their boom period for another 3 years. However, they were still loosely affiliated with the NWA, they were bringing in Japanese talent from NJPW, and they were trying their best to build up BattleBowl and the Lethal Lottery at this Starrcade to mean something. That's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them! Also, in the news, we discuss the WWF steroid trial, Nailz (allegedly) assaulting Vince McMahon over a payoff before claiming Vince sexually assaulted him, the British Bulldog demanding more money in Japan and getting shot down multiple times, Road Warrior Hawk having his way in Japan, and much more!

Episode 133: WWF In Your House 12: It's Time!
In December of 1997, it wasn't Vader Time...but it was time. Time for what? Time for Sid vs. Bret Hart for the WWF Title! While this show wasn't a complete crapper with no redeeming qualities, it certainly won't go down as a great show, by any means. This is the final stop before Shawn Michaels wins the WWF Title back from Sid in his hometown, at the Alamodome, at Royal Rumble 1997. On top of that, Hunter Hearst Helmsley defends the Intercontinental Title against "Wildman" Marc Mero, the fake Razor Ramon and Diesel get a Tag-Team Title shot at Owen Hart and British Bulldog, The Undertaker and the Executioner have a weird take on a Texas Deathmatch, and more! In the news, we discuss what's going on in the Mexican wrestling scene, WCW racing to sign the best luchadores before WWF poaches them, the upcoming Shotgun Saturday Night WWF show, another wrestling organization goes under, and much more!

BONUS: ECW in 1995, Part 1
It seems like while the year 1995 sucked in wrestling, it is the nucleus of a lot of wrestling history. While WWF and WCW seemed old and stale, ECW was new, hip, and bucking traditions in '95. Terry Funk was back and trying to make a difference, Tod Gordon is passing off more responsibilities to Paul Heyman, Sabu pisses off everyone and is in and out, Shane Douglas is still being put over HUGE before taking off for greener pastures, the Gangstas screw over Jim Cornette for Paul Heyman, and much more is going on! It is a whacky company having a whacky year! We're covering all the news from January - June. Check out part 2 coming next Friday.
