WWE Royal Rumble 2024: Will Cody Finish His Story?, WWF Raw 1/30/95, NXT 1/29/14 Recap/Review/Result
Today, we take a look at WWE's Royal Rumble "premium live special" from over the weekend. There was a lot that happened, most of which was fairly predictable and easy to see coming. The show, however, came with other overlying issues that we'll address. Also, Retro Raw sees the fallout to the 1995 Royal Rumble with Shawn Michaels immediately taking a backseat to everything else. And Retro NXT sees the official contract signing for Bo Dallas and Adrian Neville's NXT Title Match for the inaugural Takeover special.

We are back for our regularly scheduled Friday podcasting. Today, we're diving into the final episodes of the year for Crockett Promotions, Mid South, and World Class.

Mid-South featured a Loser Leaves Mid-South Tag Title Match, which ended with an interesting plot twist. And World Class saw Mike von Erich wrestle in the main event (which was not good).

WWE SmackDown 11/17/23: Survival to Stay Awake, WWF Raw 11/24/94, NXT 11/20/13 Recap/Review/Results
WWE SmackDown came to us with its Survivor Series go home show and it was quite underwhelming. LA Knight is still a big star, but the only program on SmackDown that actually ties in with Survivor Series at the moment is the girl's Wargames Match. Enough said. Meanwhile, Retro Raw saw its go home show to Survivor Series 1994, and while there were definitely the usual problems, at least efforts were made to hard sell the PPV. Also, retro NXT saw the return of Bo Dallas, Sami Zayn, and the legendary Beat the Clock Challenge!

Meanwhile, Ted DiBiase and Matt Bourne are destined to prove that Stagger Lee is the Junkyard Dog on Midsouth TV. And World Class begins its hype for the Thanksgiving Star Wars. Stella May French was attacked by Gino Hernandez and Lady Giant, Kevin von Erich is still mad at Chris Adams, and Terry Gordy returns!

Today, we look at WWE's post Crown Jewel episode of SmackDown. It is indeed LA Knight's game, whereas the rest of the roster is just there to fill space. Also, Retro Raw is two weeks out from Survivor Series 1994. The shows continue to be horrible, unless there is something directly pertaining to Owen Hart. And Retro NXT sees a 2 out of 3 Falls main event to cap off the Adrian Neville/Corey Graves feud.

We're back for the Friday special. On the FSWR channel, it's the classic wrestling talk. Crockett TV is heating up for Starrcade; Sting is incredibly awkward on camera with promos, yet still makes it work. Meanwhile, Mid South sees the fallout to JYD being ousted for ninety days. Stagger Lee debuts, Tony Atlas makes a big impact, and Hacksaw Duggan can't do one-armed pushups. Also, World Class continues with week two of the Cotton Bowl tapings. Sunshine returns, Kevin von Erich gets injured with a chair, and Hacksaw Butch Reed is still an all-time great heel.
