WWF King of the Ring 1995: Worst PPV of All Time?, WWF Raw 6/26/95, NXT 6/26/14 Recap/Review/Results
You're in for a fun one this week. Today, we recap one of the single worst PPVs of all time. WWF King of the Ring 1995 took place from CoreStates Spectrum in Philly, and every single one of those fans were left worse off for having seen it. Mabel wins King of the Ring, Savio Vega somehow becomes a top babyface in less than twenty-four hours, and every single match on the card blew. Also, the following night's Raw introduced the first vignette for Isaac Yankem. Meanwhile, Retro NXT tries to find its footing with less comedy and more serious attention to detail. RVD vs. Neville as the featured main event.

Classic Wrestling: WWF Raw 6/5/95 & NXT 6/5/14 Recap/Review/Results
Once again, I did not get around to watching SmackDown this weekend. It's been a rather hectic month here, so we're sticking to the classic reviews this go around. Retro Raw saw a couple new in-ring debuts, more King of the Ring development, and a really good pretaped match with Owen Hart and Davey Boy. Also, Retro NXT sees the fallout from Takeover. Tyson Kidd is still angry and bitter over losing to Neville, and Tyler Breeze gets a music video feature.

Classic Wrestling: NWA WCW 5/14/88, Mid-South Wrestling 5/14/83, WCCW 5/18/85 Recap/Review/Results
Today, we look at a special NWA taping from the Leon County Civic Center.

Meanwhile, Mid-South continues to expand on the Hacksaw Duggan/Rat Pack feud. And World Class features Part II of the Texas Stadium Parade of Champions event from 1985.

The PPV event saw a relatively decent card with an absolutely horrendous main event and finish. Meanwhile, Retro NXT crowns the number one contender for the championship. And Sami Zayn is still a loser that can't win anything to save his life.

However, we take a look at the post-Crockett Cup 88 show with NWA and discuss more on the Barry Windham heel turn. Also, Mid South shows footage of the most recent Superdome event.

WWE SmackDown 4/26/24: The Draft Pt. 1, WWF Raw 5/1/95, NXT 5/1/14 Recap/Review/Results
As you can see by the SmackDown title, it is officially draft season for WWE. And for the first week, it was relatively uneventful. Also, they prepare for WWE Backlash in France with a Cody Rhodes/AJ Styles contract signing. Meanwhile, Retro Raw was the usual horrible program. The show was filled with nothing but meaningless squashes and a "bait and switch" Sid Vicious match. And Retro NXT continues to showcase why these old black and gold shows were not what they were cracked up to be.
