Days of Thunder: A WCW Thunder Podcast

And so it's come to this. After the gormless son betrayal that rocked us all, Flair takes on Hogan in a Multiverse of Stipulations match for the World Heavyweight Title. Dave and Lee are strapped in as we are ready to rock with a huge show: *The unannounced debut of Mikey Whipwreck *Cage construction videos *An announcement that will change the landscape of Thunder Road! *MORE cage constructio...

Mere days from Uncensored 1999, Dave and Lee return just in time to have legitimate breakdowns over a horrendous programme. *Snack Talk Redux *Dave and Lee pitch a new wrestling promotion *Disco vs. Flair in the Main Event *Recycled Video Packages A Go Go We'll be back in two weeks for a new episode.

Every so often there is an episode of Thunder that makes you wonder if they really knew they were in the rasslin' business. This is one such episode. Join Dave and Lee's latest attempt to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear: *Lots, and lots, and lots of talking. *Occasionally some wrestling. *Dave and Lee give their Mania week thoughts. We'll be back in two weeks for a new episode...

Sometimes, the story of getting your podcast recorded is more fraught than anything you discuss in it. And that is the case this week, as the lads had to fight technical issues, COVID, a restless baby and a bang average episode of television to bring you the goods, so come on in as we chat:  *The Thunder Debut of Blitzkrieg *The Large Son-Off: David Flair vs. Dominik Mysterio *How phoned in these...

Night of Thunder bebbeh! The Days of Thunder lads return for the second in our Thunder Request Live series- where we take listener-requested shows and either review or record a commentary track for. This time listener Tim Emmel @tiemmel was drawn by the Wheel Of Fate, and his choice was the often requested Starrcade '97. Join in as Dave and Lee lay down a commentary track for the PPV right bef...

Hello friends! Our first Pay Per View show of the VOW era is here, and it's a surprisingly pleasant one as SuperBrawl IX becomes an oasis from an otherwise turbulent year in World Championship Wrestling. Featuring: *Some actual good wrestling! *Feuds that mostly actually make sense! *A Martial Arts Division Championship Defence! *David Flair! (Can't win 'em all I guess) We'll be ba...

Here it is gang, a history making show in more than one sense. Days of Thunder takes its curtain call on PWOM before moving on to pastures new, and we are covering arguably the best wrestling documentary of all time, which covers maybe the most significant event in modern wrestling history- Wrestling With Shadows. It's an absolutely packed show with loads to get to, and we hope you enjoy it! O...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays From Days of Thunder! To celebrate the festive season, Dave and Lee decided to treat you to what we do best: suffering during horrendous wrestling shows! And to do that, we had to bring in some help this time, in the form of Garrett and Liam from You've Got To Be Kidding me, the best TNA Retrospective pod on the block. As it's a crossover between WCW and...

The lads return for a second episode in a week, and this one is more of a group therapy session than a review, as not only is this a VERY poor episode of Thunder, but we may have witnessed the single worst match in our entire run of the show so far. Please enjoy, as we certainly didn't! We’ll be back just before Christmas with our next episode, and encourage people to watch the shows along wit...

The cursed technical difficulties struck last week causing us to scrap our first attempt, but Dave and Lee return with a vengeance this week to chat about what actually amounted to an excellent episode of Thunder! * More alleged action in the WCW Tag Title Tournament *Bischoff plays the role of short-changing fans, what a reach! *The Fit Finlay "Are we taking crazy pills?" saga rages on *L...

Welcome one and all to our long heralded Thunder Request Live Series. Listen in to here more detail on how it happened, but long story short this is a series of listener selected shows for us to review. We are kicking things off with a show requested by listener Web Conn ( http://twitter.com/webconn69 ), a rare Saturday Night Nitro house show recording, and with their consent we have styled this s...

It's your new favourite Halloween tradition! Dave and Lee sit around the trick or treat haul to chat the movie that saved Horror in the 90s: Scream, starring Ready To Rumble alumni David Arquette and Rose McGowan! We’ll be back in two weeks with the debut of Thunder Request Live, and encourage people to watch the shows along with us and send us any thoughts or memories. You can drop us an emai...

Oh it has been quite a while my friends. For the uninitiated, Pick Your Poison is the DoT series where we take a wrestler we have met on Thunder Road and talk about their body of work outside of WCW with a special guest! This time is the turn of Blue Justice himself, Yuji Nagata! And who better to have on the show to talk about the great man that our pal, The Podfather Alan Counihan ( twitter.com/...

With barely any time to bail on our New Year's Resolutions, WCW throws together its first Pay Per View offering of 1999, and Dave and Lee are here to navigate you through these murky Snickers-free waters. *What WCW wrestlers would make a great buddy cop pairing? *A show setting the table for Russo's arrival later this year *A tale of a one man war with the skies. *A time to reflect on how...

Hard to believe it, it's our first PPV go-home show in 1999! Less hard to believe, it's a pre-taped Thunder :/ Join Dave and Lee as they attempt to stay awake and ask themselves: *Why are they spoiling matches that haven't happened yet? *Why have we brought back TRL? *Why is this company already acting like Russo works there? *Why was THIS the show we didn't drink on? We’ll be back...

It's been a while, but the best things are worth the wait! The pod family of Dave, Jack and Chris have returned to you when the Fast Saga bumps up into a new level with Fast Five. Enjoy and Salud!

In a sign of things to come, Dave and Lee are nearly broken by the first Thunder of 1999: a shambolic episode of television with almost no redeeming segments. Oh this year will be fun! *We meet Raven's family *Hogan sports quite the ensemble *The NWO Family Drama dead horse is flogged again *A nadir in t-shirt designs [Dave's note: to donate to keep the lights on at PWOM, the PayPal addres...

What a way to start a year!

Thank you all so much if you've listened, tweeted, shared the show or interacted w...

Well here we are. Nearly two and a half years of thrills and spills on Thunder Road, and we FINALLY reach the end of 1998 WCW. To put it mildly, Starrcade 1998 is a milestone for us and in the history of WCW, so we hope you enjoy it. On the show: *A thrilling opening match *Details on how YOU can get involved in helping us celebrate our end of 1998 awards next episode *Another video package that m...
