The Conquistabores

It's been a long walk down a rainy beach to get to this episode; not for technical reasons more a combination of Phil's birthday, two broken fridges a heatwave making podcast editing a low priority item for a wee while. But sorted now and that long walk down a rainy beach is sure to end up somewhere fun as we're talking about WrestleMania IV! Yep, the one before V (obvs) which means its Officially...

Technical issues? Still there, a little. Al on the show? Nope, because it's late 90s WCW which means he'd need to watch it. Excellent Conquista-chat? Well, I'm not sure if it's excellent but it's still pretty good! Euan, Cam and Phil return to the WCW well yet again to try and find that elusive really good WCW PPV. Is this the one? Well, it has one ring which is a good start but the card does have...

Oh good Lord, was this a show. Not necessarily for the content, which I'm sure is as good as always, but more for the rampant technical issues. Discord fell over mid record, Skype issues, all sorts which all made for a fun edit for Phil. But've still got a show out of it, and it's about a cracker of a PPV in the shape of Money in The Bank 2011 Well, it has a cracker of a main event but we'll get t...

It's time for a chat about wrestling! And what with it being Easter what better time than to discuss the Best Entrance Music For Each Decade! Not every decade, like from the 80s because (as we all know) there was no wrestling before Hulk Hogan. At least thats what Al keeps telling us so it must be true, he wouldn't lie. Anyways, he turns up for most of this podcast to join Euan, Cam and Phil to ch...

It's time again for a very special podcast and this isn't the usual Phil trying to think of something to write for the podcast description kind of hyperbole, nope we mean actual special because this week we have a very special guest in the shape of The Franchise Player of Target Wrestling, Shady Nattrass! Thats right, we have an actual wrestler on our show, someone who actually knows what he's tal...

It's a New Year which means it's time for a new podcast! Yep, the streak continues as the four Conquistabores come together as a team of four striving to survive as they discuss Survivor Series 1988! Yep, it's the one with the big daft tag team survivor series match with a reinforced ring and everything. Cam, Euan, Phil and Al are all primed and ready to discuss a prime slice of 80s WWF nostalgia....

That's right! As a Christmas treat were recording a live podcast on Christmas Eve, honest. This episode we're chatting about a very special topic, a listener suggested episode! Yep, its an episode of WWF Prime Time Wrestling from Christmas Eve 1990! Yep, it's 30 years old so there's no better time for us to do our very first LIVE special which is definitely not pre-recorded or anything like that a...

We're back after a month off for no real reason to hit you with quite a swerve; this week we're doing a non-WWF/WCW pay per view and Al has even turned up! Yep, we're doing our first TNA PPV so why not make it the very first of their PPVs? Yep, right back at the beginning before the 8 sided ring, before they were on TV, back when they were running weekly PPVs. This show we get the first NWA/TNA Ch...

A little bit late, but not as late as previous years so thats one thing! This week we've gone back to the only pay per view where you can enjoy some nuclear heat that can only be achieved by having a heel champion siding with a country being invaded by another; thats right, it's WrestleMania VII! It's a stacked card, God help us, but Cam Euan Phil and Geordie Al are here to batter their way throug...

We're back and we're still in the early 90s and we're still at WCW! No, seriously, we are and it's Geordie Al's pick no less! Which obviously means its time for a Tournament of some sort which we get on Starrcade 1990! And it's an international tournament as well, no less! Is that a good thing? Not sure, but we'll see. No Euan this show I'm afraid due to technical issues but it's still a great tri...

It's roundtable time! And in typical Conquistabores fashion, its another daft one; this time we're talking about the things WE love about wrestling and YOU hate and what YOU hate and WE love. Make sense? Excellent. Sure it does. Honestly though, it does and also contained one of the most tangenty tangents in the history of the show, not even kidding. Seriously, it's a doozy. Remember to search for...

The streak continues! And just in time for the summer holidays The Conquistabores are hitting the beach with WCW! And then we're staying at home because there's a global pandemic and America is like, an open petri dish of infection right about now so no way we're going to the Gulf Coast of all places. Anyways, we've watched Beach Blast 1992 and we're here to talk about it making sure no one goes o...

Another month another episode! Who would have thought that? Certainly not us and certainly not my laptop which is soon to be retired. In the mean time, this week we've reached back into the past once more to check out The WWF Wrestling Classic which is the first (kind of) Pay Per View they ever held. Witness this astounding 16 man elimination tournament as they look to win...the honour of winning...

As Private Hudson would say stop your grinnin and drop your linen because the Conquistabores are BACK. Thats right, three episodes in three months like we have a schedule or something. But do you want us to be back when we're discussing WCW Greed, the last ever WCW pay per view. Is it as bad as that sentence makes it sound? Well, will soon find out and even Geordie Al has turned up to find out as...

Yes, we have a new episode out! Yes, that quickly! Yes, it did take a global pandemic to get us to record but thats by the by. It's a new podcast! With all kinds of chat about Royal Rumble 2000, the one where Triple H gets ran right through the Cactus Jack grinder to help turn him into a proper main event star. There's also the small matter of a Royal Rumble and the debut of an ECW Legend, so all...

Oh my gorsh, is it a new quarter already? It must mean that The Conquistabores is back and ready for that sweet sweet wrestling chat! And chat we do, this time determining who we think is The Greatest Women's Wrestler...In Ten Years Time! We explain on the show but it's hard to figure out who was the best given how restricted women wrestlers were in the darkest days of the Divas era so we thought...

Grab your stetson and strap on your lycra because we're heading north of the border for some hot wrestling action. Yes, The Conquistabores are heading to Canada to check out a bonkers pay per view that borders on the early WWF Attitude era. See! Bret Hart lead the Hart Foundation against Stone Cold Steve Austin and some other people. Wince! As Undertaker takes on Vader! Gasp! As Jerry Lawler gets...

The Conquistabores are back, again, and this time they're ALL IN with All Elite Wrestling as they take a look at the ALL IN pay per view as they're ALL IN etc etc. Yes, it wasn't AEW when they did the show but thats not the point, the point is that for the first time in a while its a non WWE/WCW show. Do they enjoy the raft of indie superstars on the card? What about the NWA title being on the lin...

It's the return of The Conquistabores as they take on The Great American Bash of 1989! Yes, it's another WCW pay per view and yes, as a matter of fact, there are two rings setup. But don't turn the podcast off just yet, this might actually be a good one! Well, mostly. Look, it's got Ric Flair and Terry Funk so I'm sure it'll be good. Finding out for definite will be Cam, Euan and Phil as they navi...

Oh boy, we missed a couple of deadlines didn't we? No matter, the Conquistabores finally got their ducks in a row and recorded a new podcast! Yes, you finally get to hear Cam, Phil, Euan and Al all talking about WrestleMania X! Yep, the one with two Yokozuna matches. And THAT match with Crush. Look, it's not the finished moment in wrestling history but there are still some positives to take away w...

Well let me tell you this brother, The Conquistabores are back and they're here to talk about wrestling promos! Tell em, nameless narrator! Thats right, we've been wining and dining with kings and queens and sleeping in alleys eating beans, all to find you the very best wrestling promo. And by you, I mean everyone. But of course, we first have to decide what a promo is and then stop Al from mentio...

OH MY GAHD we're back with another episode of The Conquistabores! On this episode there are unprotected chair shots to the head, inappropriate language and beer all over the place because we're talking about ECW! But not the original era ECW, no, we're talking about the One Night Stand pay per view from 2005! That's right, it's an arena full of drunk fans, bonkers wrestlers and a balcony of heat g...

Welcome back to the new episode of everyone's (fifteenth) favourite wrestling podcast, The Conquistabores! And this week we're looking at the pay pew view from...wait, what? We're doing what? But it isn't a pay per view? Like, it was on Raw and that but it wasn't like it's own show. Are you sure that...you are sure. Great. Right. WWF Brawl For All it is, then. Yep, the grand Attitude Era dalliance...

Happy New Year! Yes, this podcast is a good month (or two late) which is entirely the fault of Phil thanks to a combination of illness, laziness and Christmasness. Also, he only appears for a short while in this show before his router went the way of Jeff Hardy at the end of TLC II. Speaking of which, the remaining Conquistabores spend this show talking about the WWE pay per view No Mercy 1999 whi...

Yes! We're late; we've overcome computers dying, illness, ill timed birthdays and returns from school trips. None of that has stopped The Conquistabores though! And this week we've gone back to the beginning (ish) as we take on Starrcade 1983 A Flair For The Gold! That's right, we're talking closed circuit TV, no ring entrances and a steel cage! Blood, guts and casual racism! Oh yes, it's Southern...
