71: Wrestling Omakase #71: Rating Every WCW Year From 94 Through 00 w/ Rich & Scott Nov 15, 2018

Show notes

It's another trip through wrestling's past this week on Wrestling Omakase! This is the sequel episode of sorts to our previous rating every year episode ([#62, Rating WWF/E From 96-06](https://audioboom.com/posts/7004096-wrestling-omakase-62-rating-every-wwf-e-year-from-1996-to-2006)), as this time around we look at World Championship Wrestling! John is joined by returning guest Rich Kraetsch of the Voices of Wrestling flagship ([@voiceswrestling](http://twitter.com/voiceswrestling)) and first time guest Scott ([@tapemachines](http://twitter.com/tapemachines)) to break down each year of WCW from 1994 through 2000! We start with the year of Hulk Hogan's debut up through the nWo years and end with the very depressing Russo era, and it's quite a trip. Hear us give each year a rating from 1-5, pick an MVP, Match of the Year, and Best & Worst PPV, and just generally give our thoughts and feelings on what we think is or isn't worth watching. What's fun bad and what's just brutally boring bad? What year of WCW is better on PPV and which are better for watching weekly Nitros? To be honest with you we give far more detail for the earlier years than the later ones, as the answer for what part of late WCW you should watch is really "not much". Still, there's a few gems buried in those final few years, and we'll definitely help you find them. It's all things WCW all the time, this week!

This week on Wrestling Omakase we're joined by a first time guest to break down NJPW's big November show, Power Struggle! Jasmine ([@bigsadboii](https://twitter.com/bigsadboii)) first introduces herself to Omakase by going a bit into her own history- both as a fan of wrestling in general and NJPW in specific. We then turn to a match-by-match breakdown of this past weekend's Power Struggle card, which also goes into a number of different tangents including one on the apparent end of the BULLET CLUB OG/Elite feud, Chris Jericho's NJPW run so far, and more. Once that's done we turn to a brief preview of the announced matches for Wrestle Kingdom 13 so far. Finally we wrap things up with your questions on a number of topics, including rebooking the title matches for WK13 (but with the same champions) and much more! It's a fun trip through the King of Sports, this week!

STR 295. All You've Got Nov 07, 2018

Show notes

Jeff embraces his inner televangelist. Also, Crown Jewel is over and it was sad. Time to try to cram some significance into a two week slapshod build to Laundry Wars 2018 aka Survivor Series...the one time a year...etc. You know what that means? McMahons. Also on RAW, a ten second build to make you care about sunglasses. Oh and lots of Nikki Cross talk. Please support us at http://patreon.com/shakethemropes
