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.

Episode 131: TNA Turning Point 2007
It's our last stop on the TNA in 2007 PPV train and man...this train station was in a bad part of town. We've reviewed some bad TNA PPVs in 2007 and this wasn't exactly extra special horrible and certainly wasn't unwatchable. It just seems like it could have all happened on iMPACT! and no one would have thought any differently. On this show, we get the 1st ever Feast or Fired match, Gail Kim defends her Knockouts Women's Title against Awesome Kong, Angel Williams and Talia Madison officially change their names to Angelina Love and Velvet Sky, Booker T teams with Kaz to face Christian Cage and Robert Roode, and the main event was scheduled to be Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, & Tomko taking on Samoa Joe and The Outsiders. Well...a member of The Outsiders didn't make it to the show, and I'll give you 3 guesses as to which one. In the news, we talk about changing booking plans for TNA, various injuries to TNA stars, the wife of a wrestling legend filing for divorce, & much more!

Episode 129: NWA Starrcade '83: A Flare for the Gold
It's crazy to think about Ric Flair being "the young, up-and-coming, next big thing" in wrestling, but in 1983, he was! This show was possibly the only time Jim Crockett beat Vince McMahon as he got a big, annual, tent-pole event to closed circuit before the WWF did with WrestleMania. A lot of the matches on this show were throw-aways, but we've got some big match-ups as well. Roddy Piper and Greg Valentine battle it out in a Dog Collar match, which co-host Greg deems "the REAL most dangerous match in wrestling," the Briscos (Jack & Jerry) defend their Tag Titles against Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood, and of course, Harley Race defends the NWA World Heavyweight Title against Ric Flair in the steel cage main event match. Also, in the news, we talk about Vince McMahon trying to steal Harley away before this big show, WCCW running a Thanksgiving Star Wars event the same day as Starrcade, and much more!

Episode 130: NWA Starrcade '87: Chi-Town Heat
One of the taglines for this event was, "Glory Bound." There was nothing glorious about this one as Dusty Rhodes tries to out-shine the main event cage match by going for the United States Title in a cage right before it. Ron Garvin was also the defending World Champion, and he couldn't draw flies if he was rolled in cow crap. The Rock 'n' Roll Express vs. Midnight Express match should have been great, but it was put on a stupid scaffold. Terry Taylor had to do some heavy lifting in the TV Title match against Nikita Koloff. "Dr. Death" Steve Williams and Barry Windham even stunk up the joint with a fairly boring encounter for the UWF World Title. The Road Warriors, in their kayfabe hometown, also get screwed by an infamous Dusty Finish that pretty much kills Chicago for JCP forever. Two other "major" things happened on this show, as Bill Watts' UWF was recently bought out by Jim Crockett and they combined as The Wrestling Network (TWN) and had multiple Title Unification matches on this show. Also, this was the first year that the WWF ran Survivor Series and put it on free TV to go against Starrcade on pay-per-view. Because of that, starting in 1988, Starrcade was moved to December. In the news, we cover WCCW and AWA trying to hang on by the thinnest of threads, the NWA's business tanking, multiple hirings, firings, and quittings, and Uncle Dave Meltzer giving a hilarious bad take on Ron Simmons, plus much more!

BONUS: NWA Clash of the Champions IX: New York Knockout
Getting close to the end of 1989, Ric Flair and Terry Funk brought their blood feud to a close with an awesome I Quit match in Troy, New York. Will Terry Funk or Ric Flair utter the words, "I quit" out loud and sacrifice their pride? Also, the Fabulous Freebirds take on the Road Warriors to open the show, Woman and Doom continue their persuit of the Steiner Brothers, the Midnight Express hooks it up with the Dynamic Dudes (Johnny Ace is gonna want to oil the tan pecks of Sweet Stan and Beautiful Bobby), Lex Luger defends the US Title against Flyin' Brian, and much more! Also, in the news, the NWA may bring in a failed basketball player to be their "new Andre the Giant" (because that always goes well), Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard are heading back to the NWA (yeah...about that...), Verne Gagne proves he's a gigantic jerk, and plenty more!

Episode 128: WWE Survivor Series 2002 (1st Elimination Chamber)
WWE was floundering a bit, as far as money and ratings, in the fall of 2002. However, they were pumping out banger after banger on PPV. This was no exception! Raw GM Eric Bischoff introduced the brand new Elimination Chamber at this event and said that the World Heavyweight Title would be on the line in the hellacious match. Also on the card, Trish Stratus and Victoria do battle in a Hardcore match for the Women's Title, the Cruiserweight Title is on the line as Jamie Noble defends against Billy Kidman, we get a 6-Man Tag Team Tables Elimination match to open the show, 3 teams with 6 of the best wrestlers in the world fight for the WWE Tag Titles, and much more! Also, in the news, we discuss the ongoing financial issues with the WWE, TNA keeping Vince Russo around, the World Wildlife Fund continues their lawsuits with the WWE, and much more!

Episode 126: WCW World War 3 1995 (60 Men, 3 Giants, 3 Rings)
Trying to out do the WWF's Royal Rumble, WCW had 3 rings, 60 men, and 3 giants. This certainly was a spectacle that was something to behold. Most of the rest of the show was actually one of the better shows of all of 1995, having Ric Flair vs. Sting, Johnny B. Badd vs. DDP, an awesome Joshi tag match, and Chris Benoit vs. Kensuki Sasaki for the US Title. Of course, it was 1995, so we also had to sit through Big Bubba Rogers vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan in a Taped Fists match and a bad match between Lex Luger and "Macho Man" Randy Savage. We also had a babyface Hulk Hogan being a huge heel on this show by cutting an entire promo lying to the fans about Savage's injury, trashing a dirt sheet, and then at the end of the showing, crying and whining because he didn't win. 1995 was weird. In the news, we talk about a new wrinkle in the WWF Steroid Trial, the WWF getting edgier, Sabu having to pay to find out he was fired, and an MMA show being booted from New York City only to hold it at a secret venue with a secret crowd...and it sucked. All that and more on this week's podcast!

Episode 125: TNA Bound for Glory 2005 (The 1st BFG)
The very first ever TNA Bound for Glory took place in 2005 and even though it was dubbed as the company's biggest show of the year, not everything was a hit. One major miss was putting Jeff Jarrett against Kevin Nash in the main event. Jeff Jarrett just screwed Raven out of the World Title and Raven was kept away from the main event. Meanwhile, Kevin Nash got legitimately sent to the hospital, leaving Jarrett without an opponent. That lead to this becoming the night of...Rhino...for whatever reason. Also on this card, the Ultimate X match plays host to a pretty bad botch. Samoa Joe has a pretty good match with Jushin Thunder Liger. AMW defends the NWA Tag Titles against the Naturals...again. There's a fairly entertaining Monster's Ball. We also get the return of a legendary tag-team. In the news, a Midwest wrestling legend has passed away, Jim Ross may be gone from the WWE as the McMahons make an offer to a possible replacement, Team 3D isn't pleased about losing a trademark battle, and Ken Shamrock continues his MMA downfall.

BONUS: First WWF Raw from the Georgia Dome
On October 11, 1999, this was Vince McMahon and the World Wrestling Federation planting their flag at midfield on WCW's home turf. WCW Nitro had packed out the Georgia Dome multiple times in the past, but now, the WWF was bringing their flagship show, Raw is War, to the Dome and laughing at the miserable state of their competition. Stone Cold Steve Austin was back from getting hit by a car and he sees red while going after WWF Champion, Triple H. All things are not great between tag partners, X-Pac and Kane. Mark Henry is going through sex therapy (yes, really). Chyna is gearing up to face Jeff Jarrett in a Good Housekeeping Match at No Mercy (again, yes, really). Also, this show ends with a giant pile of crap. And no, that's not hyperbole. Meanwhile, in the news, Gorilla Monsoon has died. Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara quit the WWF and head for WCW. The British Bulldog is back in WWF. There are more lawsuits and drama between the WWF and the Hart Family over Owen Hart's passing. This and much more!

Episode 124: WCW Halloween Havoc 1997 (Age in a Cage)
It was the best of times...it was the worst of times. We've got one of the greatest matches in WCW history and possibly one of the worst in WCW history, both on the same card. Troy & Greg will gleefully talk all about Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Eddie Guerrero as well as Hollywood Hogan vs. Roddy Piper in a steel cage. Also, we cover Macho Man vs. DDP in a Las Vegas Sudden Death match, Scott Hall, Eric Bischoff, and Larry Zbyszko continuing their weird feud, Sting is banned from the building, a fan (Real or fake? You decide!) jumps into the cage, and much more! Also, in the news, we cover WCW being white hot in 1997, Eric Bischoff pissing off the locker room, when (or if) Stone Cold Steve Austin will ever wrestle again, ECW being a complete train wreck (not sure if that's news, but, whatever...), and a ton more!

Episode 123: ECW Anarchy Rulz 2000 (ft. The Apron Bump Podcast)
We've got a 3-man booth yet again! This time, Kyle from The Apron Bump Podcast (ApronBump.com) joins us as we go 22 years back in the past to review ECW Anarchy Rulz! Oddly enough, this was not a terrible show. Extreme Championship Wrestling broke into Minnesota with local boy, Jerry Lynn, going for the World Title in the main event against Justin Credible. Also, the FBI defends the Tag Titles against Mikey Whipwreck and Yoshihiro Tajiri. Rhino puts his TV Title on the line against Rob Van Dam. This show has some good stuff but also it's fair share of crap, which we'll DEFINITELY have fun dumping on (no pun intended).

Episode 121: WWF In Your House 17 - Ground Zero
This was a show after SummerSlam to get to a show to then get to Survivor Series. And even though this was sort of viewed as a "transition/throw away" show, it brought the goods. Not everything on this card was great, but there was enough good stuff here to keep the Marks interested. In turn, the Marks are bringing enough entertainment on this podcast to keep YOU interested. This was also the first 3-hour In Your House show. Stone Cold is still recovering from injury, so even though he's on all the promotional material, he doesn't wrestle here. He does, however, make an appearance and Stun some asses. Bret Hart defends his WWF Title against the Patriot in a very Canada vs. America type match. We get the WWF's first televised Triple Threat match and a Fatal Four Way Tag-Team Titles match. The Undertaker is also out for revenge against Shawn Michaels in a crazy main event you've got to see to believe. Also, in the news, the WWF is about to give up on Mark Henry, Perry Saturn is done with ECW, the NWO mocks the Four Horsemen on TV, and USWA is all but dead.

BONUS: NWA Clash of the Champions III (Fall Brawl)
In September of 1988, Jim Crockett Jr. was getting ready to sell off NWA/JCP to Ted Turner, which would change wrestling forever. Also, they held their 3rd Clash of the Champions event, which was the first ever Fall Brawl! Was it good? That's for you to decide. Oh, and the Main Event Marks! Sting is trying to take gold from the Four Horsemen in the main event as he takes on Barry Windham for the United States Title. The Sheepherders also get a 17-minute match, so...there's that. Mike Rotunda defends his Television Title against Brad Armstrong to open the show. San Francisco 49ers legend Jon Ayers cuts...I guess we'll call them "promos"...about his upcoming appearance at Starrcade '88. Also, in the news, "Dr. Death" Steve Williams gets caught with A METRIC TON of drugs, the WWF is selling out house shows, Paul Orndorff gets a job offer, and the upcoming AWA PPV doesn't look promising.

Episode 120: WCW Fall Brawl 1998 - WarGames
It was one of the biggest years in professional wrestling history but this event certainly wasn't one of the highlights of it. But, much like other horrible shows, Troy & Greg have a lot of fun with this one. This show was plagued by injuries, bad booking, and a new take on the WarGames match. Let's just say...it wasn't a GOOD NEW take. Team WCW faced off against NWO Hollywood and NWO Wolfpack. The man who got the pinfall gets a WCW Title shot. At least Chris Jericho provided some highlights as he called out the World Champion and got...something. In the news, careers may be ending, Ric Flair is trying to bring his feud with WCW to a close, SummerSlam was a hit, pro wrestling is exploding all over the mainstream media, everyone is injured in ECW, and much more!

Episode 119: WWF In Your House 3 - Triple Header
We're in your house for the 3rd In Your House! This time, all the belts (championships, pal!) are on the line in the main event! If you could describe the year 1995 in wrestling with one word, it would be "YAWN!" However, you've got the best of WWF's best in this event with Diesel, Shawn Michaels, Yokozuna, and (supposedly) Owen Hart on top! Will there be shenanigans? OF COURSE THERE WILL BE! Meanwhile, the British Bulldog, Bam Bam Bigelow, Savio Vega, and Razor Ramon on the undercard. Also, Bret Hart and "The Pirate" Jean Pierre LaFitte just may steal the whole damn show.
In the news, we talk about the Monday Night Wars starting up, who's coming and going, the card being in flux for In Your House 4, backstage drama, a knife being pulled by a father on his son in Memphis, and the most messed up show we've ever discussed in the history of our show taking place in San Francisco.
