Episode 276: DX Invasion-WWF Raw 04-27-1998 Apr 27, 2022

Show notes

This is arguably the most famous "Raw is War" ever. Not because it was the highest rated ever, but because it featured DX on the attack against WCW!

The two sides, the two shows, were literally 24 miles apart with the WWF(E) at the Hampton Coliseum and WCW at the Norfolk Scope. So DX, led by Triple H, Billy Gunn, X-Pac, Road Dogg and Chyna recorded vignettes outside of the Scope, trying to get into the building where Nitro was being held.

But the show was also famous for furthering the storylines between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vince McMahon and between The Undertaker and Kane.

It is an unforgettable and entertaining episode of Raw and another night where Vince McMahon was flexing his muscle in the ratings.

Episode 275: World Championship Wrestling 04-18-1987 Crockett Cup Apr 20, 2022

Show notes

We go back to 1987 with some pretty memorable events.

First of all, Magnum T.A. makes his first public appearance since his horrible accident in the fall of 1986.

Secondly, we will see highlights from the Crockett Cup tournament in Baltimore won by Dusty Rhodes and Nikita Koloff, and, finally, we will see the debut of the New Breed: Chris Champion and Sean Royal. Two young men who were ahead of their time and, had it not been for a car crash, would have probably become top stars.

Additionally, we will see in action, Ron Garvin (as he beats up another poor soul), Brad Armstrong, Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin, the Barbarian, Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin, the Midnight Express with Jim Cornette and the Road Warriors.

Episode 274: After 83 Weeks, Raw Beats Nitro 04-13-1998 Apr 13, 2022

Show notes

While things were on the steep decline in 1998 for WCW, Vince McMahon and the WWE continued to grow. Then on April 13, 1998 something happened that shook the Monday Night Wars: Raw beat Nitro in the ratings for the first time in 83 weeks. Things were never the same, again.

The main reason was the angle between Stone Cold Steve Austin and McMahon. But this edition of Raw had plenty of other moments and Superstars such as DX, the Rock, The Undertaker, Kane, the New Midnight Express, Sable and plenty more.

We once again revisit an historic moment in professional wrestling. You can watch along with us by going to Monday Night Raw, Season Six, Episode 15 on Peacock.

Episode 273: Lois Rules at 70 Apr 06, 2022

Show notes

In honor of her 70th birthday (which is April 6th), we take a close look at the woman who has been with Tony Schiavone during his entire wrestling career.

A very emotional but devoted, loving wife and mother of five, she was with Tony when he first decided to take the plunge into wrestling, during the move to WWE, the move back to WCW, the demise of WCW and more.

Find out what was the low point in their lives (you might be surprised) and what was behind the move from Connecticut and back to Atlanta and WCW.

But what about her? A lady who moved all over the world as a child and was a great student...plus discover what she decided to do with her double-major in college.

Enjoy Lois Rules (even if she is old)!

Episode 272: WCW Monday Nitro 03-29-1999 Mar 30, 2022

Show notes

The Nitro ratings were tumbling, but that did not stop a very large crowd from coming to the Air Canada Center in Toronto in March of 1999. Why? Because Bret Hart was on the card with a memorable challenge to Goldberg.

Also, Hollywood Hulk Hogan meets Diamond Dallas Page and their brawl goes on to destroy the Nitro set. Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko, the World Tag Team Champions have a great match against Kidman and Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho faces Jerry Flynn plus Booker T. Konnan, Raven and so much more...including an appearances from Ric Flair and Kevin Nash.

WCW was losing ground in the Monday Night Wars, but on this night the show was pretty good.

Show notes

If you combine Cinnaburst gum with college students, girls gone wild and WCW and what do you get? WCW Monday Nitro at Club La Vela in Panama City, Florida on March 16, 1998.

Episode 268: WCW SuperBrawl II Mar 02, 2022

Show notes

It was a card loaded with talent, and one that saw the end of Lex Luger's run in WCW for awhile as he would bolt to the WWF.

Here we have Cactus Jack, Steve Austin, Ron Simmons, the Steiners, Arn Anderson, Larry Zbyszko, Barry Windham, Arn Anderson, Beautiful Bobby, Sting, Luger, Ricky Steamboat, Rick Rude. Ricky Morton, Vinnie Vegas and more.

But the match that "stole the show" was Flyin' Brian Pillman vs Jushin "Thunder" Liger.

Great stuff from the pre-Hogan and pre-NWO days of World Championship Wrestling!

The Four Horsemen were dominate in 1986. So much so that to this day, wrestling fans worldwide know what you mean when you flash four fingers on one hand. But in 1987, the unthinkable happened.

We will take you back to relive that moment along with some other great stars like: Nikita Koloff, Dusty Rhodes, Ron Garvin, Lex Luger, Barry Windham, Jim Cornette, Big Bubba, Bobby Eaton, Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin and Precious and others.

Enjoy an historic moment in professional wrestling.
