Episode 198: WCW Halloween Havoc 1989 Oct 28, 2020

Show notes

A lot to unpack in this one as we begin Halloween week of 2020.

Four great performers battle in the main event in what was the very first Halloween Havoc ever! Flair, Funk, Sting and Muta! How about that for a lineup?

All four in a Thunderdome match, a cage with so much decoration that it caught fire (a great Halloween treat)!

Plus, the Road Warriors, the Midnight Express, the SST, the Steiners, Doom, Tommy Rich (Somebody say something about Halloween???). Lex Luger, the Freebirds, Brian Pillman and more.

Enjoy Halloween, WCW style!

Episode 197: Sting's Debut-WCW 10-17-87 Oct 21, 2020

Show notes

We think you are really going to dig this! October of 1987, Sting makes his debut on TBS and World Championship Wrestling!

It's easy to see how his character grew from this moment, but it is also great to see how much potential he had from just one match and following interview.

Just like all TBS studio programs in that era, this show was short on wrestling action but long on great interviews.

This is one to remember!

Episode 196: WCW Thunder 10-04-2000 Oct 14, 2020

Show notes

If you like great wrestling action with great storylines...then you have come to the wrong place.

A show that was long on skits and interviews and short on action, the event was from Long Beach, California and is best known for the standoff between Jeff Jarrett and Beetlejuice of Howard Stern fame.

That was in the very first segment and it went downhill from there.

The crew was ready to embark on a trip to Australia and this was the last stop on what was a lousy tour out west before the long trek to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.

This was WCW approximately five months before the end and there was no doubt the promotion was in trouble.

Episode 192: Ask Tony Anything Sep 16, 2020

Show notes

What does Tony think is the most shocking thing about being backstage at AEW? What call does he regret making during his career? Would he leave AEW to work for the Atlanta Braves? What would he have done differently if he had been in charge of WCW back in the 90's?

Tony answers these questions and many more as he fields the queries from our Twitter feed @WHWMonday with the hashtag #AskTony.

Episode 191: WCW Clash of the Champions XX Sep 09, 2020

Show notes

It's a fine celebration of 20 years of professional wrestling on "The Superstation" TBS. Complete with legends such as Gordon Solie, Bruno Sammartino, Andre The Giant, Dusty Rhodes, Bill Watts, Thunderbolt Patterson and more! However, there was also some (not much) wrestling action featuring Ron Simmons, Cactus Jack, Vader, Rick Rude, Sting, Dustin Rhodes, Barry Windham, Jake the Snake Roberts and many others.

We go back to 1992 when the Bill Watts era attempted to be completely different than the WWE...but then there was Turner Home Entertainment that didn't give a damn about Bill Watts, as long as they could turn "Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal" into a sitcom.

You'll understand by the time we're done....

Episode 189: ECW Doubleheader (08-30-94 and 09-03-99) Aug 26, 2020

Show notes

Conrad and Tony take you back in time to TWO very different episodes of ECW. First, we go back to 1994 when Extreme Championship Wrestling was born. When Shane Douglas threw down the NWA belt and became the ECW champ. It was quite a swerve to the NWA and will never be forgotten on many levels.

Then we will go back to the very first live-to-tape ECW show on TNN in 1999. Taz opened the show with a big win and later, The Dudleys were a big part of the episode as this would be their last show before leaving to the WWF (E).

Also, both episodes have some great Tommy Dreamer moments as well. Strap in for an EXTREME RIDE!

Episode 188: WCW Clash of the Champions XXXIII Aug 19, 2020

Show notes

It's a wrestling show loaded with talent, but also loaded with short matches.

Join Conrad and Tony as they take you back to your childhood of 1996. Hulk Hogan vs Ric Flair was the headliner, but it also had the Steiners, Sting, Lex Luger, Hall and Nash, DDP, Harlem Heat, Eddie Guerrero, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, VK Wallstreet, the Giant, Chris Benoit, Ultimo Dragon, Konan, Glacier, Kevin Sullivan, Col. Robert Parker, Sister Sherri, Queen Debra, Jimmy Hart, the Barbarian, Hugh Morrus, Madusa, Bull Nakano, Woman, Miss Elizabeth, Meng, and, it what will go down as a sensational matchup, Rey Mysterio against Dean Malenko.

It wasn't well received by the dirt sheets, but it had some great moments. And it was the NWO before the NWO was ultra cool.
