Butts in the Seats Podcast

Episode 43: Sting tries to gain control of the company from Ric Flair as we get random HBO characters showing up unrelated from the ICP also showing up. Plus, a look into neckbones and we have to chat about blackface. Thanks, WCW.

Episode 42: Hulk Hogan is back and would you believe it, the show is suddenly all about him. To distract us from this, enjoy a nearly 10 minute tangent of Emily not being able to comprehend the existence of both the Legion of Doom and Dungeon of Doom followed by some passionate feelings on crispy M&M's.

Episode 41: It's usually one of the most newsworthy shows of the year. This year they decided to have the show's main attractions be a nonsensical tag match, a boxing match between two wrestlers and a $100,000 "Junkyard Invitational". Keep in mind that's the cost of the match and not the prize money. Note: Nick's microphone was acting up during recording. We did our best in the edit but the volume...

Episode 40: We're 6 days away from Bash at the Beach, so this is obviously the ideal time to have Bret Hart and Goldberg return. Plus David Flair gets gifted a title as Nick slowly loses the will to live throughout the episode. But we at least start off strong with a game all about entrance music.

Episode 39: It's Kevin Nash vs the World! David Flair has somehow become number 1 contender while the mystery of the white hummer is still going somehow. Plus, we get the music video for "I Hate Rap" and a decent B-Team match. Wait, that can't be right...

Episode 38: A Nitro of many returns and Sid is actually going to wrestle. Nick fianlly snaps about the rules when a tag team match goes too far and Emily starts a feud with Frankie Valli. Plus it's Master P's brother's birthday and we're all supposed to care for some reason.

Episode 37: We're one night removed from the Great American Bash and Randy Savage is claiming he won the title with no real evidence to support it. Ric Flair and Roddy Piper have joined forces and that's about as coherant as you'd expect. Plus, Emily learns a little something about the Legion of Doom. Oh and for some reason, Sable is here.

Episode 36: Get ready for another disappointing PPV with a fever dream in the middle. We get an unexpected return and a new player joins the main event scene, plus the mystery of the white Hummer continues, totally solidifying the idea that they had no plans to reveal who was behind the wheel. As for the matches, well...

Episode 35: We chat repetitive gimmicks and chemical warfare as well as Sting as the Mask and Arn finally popping that top off. But most importantly, the mystery of the white hummer starts. And ends...

Episode 34: Tank Abbott is here! What does that mean for Nitro? Frankly, not much. The David Flair push continues, we get a fake WCW title match littered with transphobia and a handicap match for the tag team titles. Plus, we somehow had a lengthy chat about state flags.

Episode 33: We continue down the messy road to the Great American Bash but have to take a moment to talk about Owen Hart and take a peek at a match of his. On Nitro, Goldberg is still not here, the Horsemen implode and David Flair continues to wrestle, or at least do something similar to it.

Episode 32: It's been exactly one year of real time since our first episode! At Slamboree, Eric Bischoff declared Roddy Piper the winner and new President; so there shouldn't be any questions to who is in charge. Right? Right!? Plus, we hope you like Randy Savage because you're gonna get a whole lot of him this week.

Episode 31: We're back in ECW but now it's in the same time as the rest of our show. The other ECW shows we watched were among the most celebrated in it's history. This one, less so. But we get RVD vs Jerry Lynn, a surprise appearance from a former WWF Champion, confusion over the women of ECW and main event Buh Buh Ray Dudley.

Episode 30: I'm not gonna lie to you; this is a rough PPV. According to the Wrestling Observer, it's actually worse than SuperBrawl IX. Kevin Nash has booked himself into a title match, Goldberg vs Sting happens for no real reason and Piper and Flair face off for control of the company. Somehow Gorgeous George and Charles Robinson manage to outshine all of them.

Episode 29: Ric Flair returns in his home town and he's brought his new friends. We also get his son, David, in a match, a bounty on Kevin Nash's head and yet another DDP title defense. Plus Emily has a special segment dedicated to Ernest "the Cat" Miller

Episode 28: Surge watch continues! We get not 1, but 2 world title matches. Plus, we get a rare Erik Watts sighting and Hulk Hogan undergoes surgery

Episode 27: Ric Flair has gone off the deep end. We have a pumped up crowd as we side chat about a bar called "Howl at the Moon", Emily loses her mind over Madusa and we're back to her not knowing who Scott Norton is. Plus, we get round 2 of the first main event we reviewed, DDP vs Goldberg

Episode 25: We voyage out west (to Tacoma, WA) for Spring Stampede. Randy Savage is actually back to referee a mess of a fatal 4-way main event. We get to have an uncomfortable conversation about Chris Benoit, plus we get to see an audience member get to second base on Scott Steiner.

Episode 24: We take an additional look into ECW's rise with their most celebrated show. Nick tries the Sandman game again with similar results. The beer was needed after we have a chat about Bill Alfonso's whistle, but this might be the best show we watch on the podcast from purely a in-ring perspective.

Episode 23: Nitro gets a makeover and a new theme song that we aren't going to use. Ric Flair decides that the PPV on Sunday apparently doesn't need a main event, a surprise "return" and the final Nitro appearance of Chris Jericho. Plus perhaps the greatest wrestling match ever to hit WCW

Episode 22: Bret Hart returns home to Canada in the last Nitro of the original stage. Plus, we get two different returns from DDP and a surprise return of Sting which commentary tells us about before it happens. And meanwhile, Hulk Hogan apparently doesn't remember what actuall happened with the the finger poke of doom.

Episode 21: It's WWF's biggest show of the year! Well, it's supposed to be. On one hand you have the show main evented by Steve Austin vs the Rock, on the other you have Sable vs Tori. But as much weird and crazy stuff we've seen on WCW tv, this show might have a moment that tops them all.

Episode 20: It's Spring Breakout! Does that mean that anything will happen? Nope. Instead Emily looks up Playboy shoots at one point and we crown perhaps only the second ever Miss nWo. Plus Perry Saturn gets a new totally original nickname, we have a cruiserweight mystery on our hands and we wait all night for someone to end up in the pool. Will it happen?

Episode 19: It's the first Nitro in our long week-by-week journey. Ric Flair is now champion and is President of WCW forever! Nick loses his mind at a David Flair segment but not for the reason you think and Emily gets pitched a unique Mamma Mia remake to go along with her comfort match.
