Revisiting WWF Raw 2001 ECW Joins WCW & Forms The Alliance May 27, 2024

Show notes

It’s 2001 and we are weeks away from Invasion. WCW is battling WWF, but things are about to get crazy! The tribe of extreme has joined the fray and attacked the WWF! But that’s not where things end. The main event featured a WCW & WWF team vs an ECW team in a huge tag team match. Things wouldn’t end well as this was a giant swerve by WCW and they would join forces with ECW and form The Alliance. Also, Stephanie McMahon is now the new owner of ECW!

Revisiting 2000 WXO Wrestling Episode #1 Ted DiBiase’s Family Friendly Wrestling Promotion May 20, 2024

Show notes

In the year 2000 you had WWF, WCW, ECW and WXO Wrestling! Ted DiBiase was the CEO and CFO who wanted to bring back family friendly wrestling! He lets us know there will be no guaranteed contracts, only opportunities in this new era of professional wrestling. No more “prima donnas”, does this sound familiar. The show featured many WCW Saturday Night wrestlers and the unforgettable Scott Nash! It’s crazy that a promotion would start at this time during the Monday Night War but as we find out, WXO Wrestling didn’t last long at all.

Revisiting WWE RAW 2005 Shawn Michaels Greatest Superkick To Shelton Benjamin, World Title Gold Rush Tournament May 13, 2024

Show notes

Following WWE Backlash 2005 where Batista defeated Triple H to retain his WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Eric Bischoff made a new tournament to crown a number one contender for the title. This is the Gold Rush Tournament. It was a mystery on who was facing. One wrestler would make their entrance and then find out who they were facing right in that ring. This features one of the best superkicks of all time by Shawn Michaels. It is the one where Shelton Benjamin does a springboard and eats a Sweet Chin Music right to the jaw. It really is something you have to see. The tournament also features Kane vs Christian, Edge vs Jericho, and Triple H vs Chris Benoit. Plus, fallout from backlash where Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels teamed for the very first time against Muhammad Hassan and Daivari!

Show notes

Because WWE was in Orlando for WrestleMania, TNA Wrestling decided it was time to run a live episode of TNA Impact! With this show being live, WWE had one rule to talent, DO NOT GO TO THE TNA SHOW! Robbie of The Highlanders decided to go to the show and support his friend, however WWE decided to show Derek Graham-Couch on this episode. It even said he worked for WWE on the screen, This ultimately led to him getting fired! Also on this episode Sting returns to TNA for the first time in a long time and gets put in a huge main event tag team match. Robert Roode and Booker T open the show by brawling all over the arena, which leads to Jim Cornette letting fans vote at tnawrestling.com for which match type they want to see them wrestling in later that night. They choose a First Blood Match! Plus, Kurt Angle spars with AJ Styles and Tomko before his upcoming cage match with Samoa Joe and much more as we head into TNA Lockdown!
