Revisiting NWA TNA 2002 Weekly PPV #1, The 1st NWA Total Nonstop Action PPV, NWA Champion Crowned In Gauntlet For The Gold, The Flying Elvis Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

WCW and ECW have both closed their doors leaving many talented wrestlers without a place to work. Jeff Jarrett, Jerry Jarrett & Bob Ryder were on a boat and had an idea for the creation of the NWA Total Nonstop Action. Many TV networks did not want to take a chance on pro wrestling, so the only logical thing was PPV. They would do things a bit different by offering weekly NWA TNA PPVs for $9.99. In the first ever NWA TNA PPV we get an NWA Champion crowned. There is a giant Gauntlet For The Gold match that saw Ron Killings vs Ken Shamrock facing off in a one on one match in the main event. Ken Shamrock becomes the very first NWA Champion in the Total Nonstop Action Era. They open the show with a showcase of the brand new X-Division. The Flying Elvises take on AJ Styles, Jerry Lynn, and Low Ki in a match that is still talked about to this day. Toby Keith has a musical performance that was interrupted by Jeff Jarrett which eventually leads to Toby Keith giving Double J a suplex! Also, The Johnsons make their debut!

Revisiting WWF RAW IS WAR 1998 Stone Cold Steve Austin Drives A Zamboni To The Ring, Kane & Undertaker Break Vince's Ankle, DX Implodes, Owe Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

The very same night that WCW was having Bret Hart vs Hulk Hogan, we got an all timer Stone Cold Steve Austin segment on WWF Monday Night RAW IS WAR! WWF Breakdown just happened and the main event saw Stone Cold vs Kane vs The Undertaker for the WWF Championship. The Undertaker and Kane were barred from pinning each other. If anyone had interfered on Austin’s behalf, Austin would have immediately been stripped of the title. Kane and The Undertaker both pinned Stone Cold Steve Austin so the WWF title was held up. On this episode of RAW Vince McMahon would hold an in-ring ceremony to award the WWF Championship to either Kane or Taker. However, Stone Cold Steve Austin ruined the entire thing as he drove a Zamboni down to the ring, jumped over the police barricade and attacked Mr. McMahon. Austin ended up going to jail after this, but the night was not over. Mr. McMahon came back to the ring to award either Kane or Taker the WWF Championship. Because they did not protect him from Stone Cold, Vince said they had to fight at WWF Judgment Day 1998 with Stone Cold as special referee. This enraged Kane and Taker who proceeded to break the ankle of the owner of the World Wrestling Federation. D Generation-X is having issues in the group that leads to a fight where Billy Gunn leaves the arena. Owen Hart delivers an Owen Piledriver to Dan Severn in the same style he did it to Stone Cold. This caused Dan Severn to “hurt” his neck. In the main event it is Kane and The Undertaker in a handicapped match vs Ken Shamrock, Mankind, and The Rock. Plus, The DEADLOCK Q&A is back again!

Show notes

WCW Nitro is heating up in 1998 as Hollywood Hulk Hogan gets ready to battle The Ultimate Warrior at Halloween Havoc 1998. Nitro opens with Hogan challenging both Sting and Bret Hart. Bret Hart answers the challenge first and the main event is signed. Bret is still in pain from War Games and has his leg targeted by Hulk Hogan. Bret has to be taken to the back and receive medical attention mid match. However, Sting takes his place. As the match continues Bret Hart stumbles down to the ring. It looks as if he is here to help Sting, but he turns his back on WCW and joins forces with Hulk Hogan and the nWo! Chris Jericho is in his long standing rivalry with Goldberg and claiming that he is undefeated against the WCW Champion. Scheduled is Chris Jericho vs Goldberg! Goldberg comes out to the ring with the fake Goldberg from Fall Brawl on his shoulder. He spears both of the members of Jericho's Personal Security. Also, the boys talk about behind the scenes for DPW Victory Lap and even give us a couple of movie reviews from Clerks 3 and Pearl!
