A big week in history for wrestling and a new nadir for quality, Days of Thunder returns to discuss a new episode of Thunder on TBS, while over on UPN a little show called Smackdown has its pilot on the same night!

And so it has come to this, Spring Stampede 1999- described by many as the last great WCW PPV. For your hosts this means answering an important question: was it truly a great show, or is it considered great in the context of the horror that would follow? Either way we try to drink in the quality while it lasts: *Was Scott Steiner's performance good? *Should Macho Man have had referees gear? ^W...
