Episode 282: The Great American Bash 1997 Jun 08, 2022

Show notes

We are firmly into the NWO era of WCW, and this edition of the Great American Bash had plenty of highlights.

Led by the feud between the Macho Man Randy Savage and Diamond Dallas Page, the Bash of '97 had some fine matches. Additionally, in action were the Kevin Nash and Scott Hall with Syxx against Ric Flair and Roddy Piper, Akira Hokuto meeting Madusa, Ultimo Dragon (known here at the Ultimate Dragon versus Psychosis and Kevin Greene facing Steve McMichael (yes, they had a very good match).

Another enjoyable trip back to your childhood, from the crew at WHW!

Episode 281: The Great American Bash 1996 Jun 01, 2022

Show notes

This will go down as one of the better WCW Pay Per Views ever.

It had the debut of Rey Mysterio, Jr. in a classic against Dean Malenko. Lord Steven Regal and Sting had a tremendous one-on-one encounter, Ric Flair and Arn Anderson went to battle with Kevin Greene and Steve McMichael, the Giant and Lex Luger squared off for the world title and Chris Benoit and Kevin Sullivan had a unforgettable falls count anywhere match.

But the most memorable part was when Kevin Nash and Scott Hall power bombed Eric Bischoff through the stage.

We relive the moments of the last WCW mega event before the formation of the NWO.

Episode 279: Impact 05-19-11 Bischoff and the Young Bucks May 18, 2022

Show notes

We take you back to 2011 as Impact was a strong product in the wrestling world.

The roster was AMAZING: Cactus Jack, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Sting, Kurt Angle, Jeff Jarrett, Eric Bischoff, the Young Bucks, Matt and Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe, Amazing Red, Bully Ray, AJ Styles, Bobby Roode, Tommy Dreamer and on and on and on.

But 11 years ago, Eric Bischoff and Matt Hardy, in this episode, beat the Young Bucks. It's worth a look and a look back at how wrestling has changed a decade later.

To watch along, you must be a member of Impact Plus and go to the May 19, 2011 episode. Here is the link: https://impactwrestling.com/impactplus/

Episode 278: WCW Slamboree 1997 May 11, 2022

Show notes

What a difference a year made in the life of World Championship Wrestling! In last week's podcast we looked back on Slamboree 1996, an event most fans hated. A year later? Most everyone loved Slamboree 1997.

The advent of the NWO had a lot to do with that, but so did the return of Ric Flair after being off for eight months with shoulder problems. Flair teams with Roddy Piper and Kevin Greene of the NFL to face Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and Syxx in the main event.

But here is so much more, including a great opening match between Lord Steven Regal against Ultimate Dragon, and others including Rey Mysterio, the Steiners, Dean Malenko, Jeff Jarrett, Chris Benoit, Meng, Konnan and MORE.

Get ready for a great time watching Slamboree 1997...and watch out for the F***ing GOOSE!

Episode 277: WCW Slamboree 1996 May 04, 2022

Show notes

Slamboree was originally an event that began in 1993 and was subtitled: "A Legends Reunion."

The event was the brainchild of Dusty Rhodes, but in 1996 it looked nothing like the original one. The 1996 version featured Sting versus the Giant for the WCW World Title, Dean Malenko against Brad Armstrong for the WCW Cruiserweight Title and Konnan against Jushin "Thunder" Liger for the United State Title.

It also featured a tag team "Lethal Lottery" with some sort of Battlebowl-Lord of the Ring-Earn a world title shot-nonsense.

Hey, it was WCW, right? And it was pre-NWO, so there was plenty of nonsense, right?
