The Conquistabores

It’s the type of episode that could tear the podcast in two! Or four, even. That’s right, it’s our next roundtable episode where The Conquistabores sit down to decide something and this time it’s to decide just what is The Greatest Wrestling Video Game Ever! Oh yeah, we’re not fooling around with this one! Cam, Euan, Phil and Geordie Al are breaking out the controllers and the multitaps and sortin...

Deep in the heart of the Conquistabores, hidden behind secret doors and buried in the casket the Undertaker built for Kamala, is a secret tome that contains the Do’s and Don’ts of The Conquistabores. And right up at the top, even before “Kayfabe, brother”, the Number One Rule is “Never Go Back To Back WCW”. Well, rules were made to be broken so thats just what we’ve done as we go to WAR with WCW W...

The Conquistadores return to the hallowed halls of WCW yet again for their first ever listener selection! And what a show they have selected: Starrcade 1991: Battlebowl - The Lethal Lottery! Thats right, not only has it the most convoluted title of a PPV we've looked at so far, but it also has 40 wrestlers! Tag teams! A glittery tombola! Truly this is the pinnacle of early 90s WCW. Or is it? You'l...

So thanks to a random twitter conversation with Andi Hamilton (freelance games writer, wrestling fan and late of Midnight Resistance podcast) Phil ended up watching a match from New Japan Pro Wrestling's New Beginning 2017. And from that, he somehow ended up agreeing with The Miz. How and, indeed, why? Well, listen to the show. It's not that long.

It's a Conquista-return as after a couple of Prime Times it's back to the warm and embracing arms of Euan, Cam, Phil and Geordie Al as they set to work on another Pay Per View. This time it's the Royal Rumble from 1992. Yes, it's the Flair Rumble which, given how much they all loved WrestleMania XIII, should mean that this one has a positive response. But does it though, even with the Greatest Tag...

Prime Time Conquistabores is back! And what better way to celebrate the first anniversary of this show that by having a versus special! Meaning that was totally planned, and it wasn't like we recorded it a month ago and Phil had to deal with a house of illness and baby conjunctivitis and has only just got round to the edit and by sheer luck ended up lining up with the posting of episode one. Anywa...

They said it couldn't be done! Well, specifically Cameron said it couldn't be done but here it is: a podcast recorded on a Thursday and posted on a Sunday. And by that I mean three days later, not in the next season. Yep, 2017 kicks off with no regular podcast organised so instead find a quick stand in episode with Cam and Phil having a good old chat about 2016 and the good things that it had. Whi...

After the unpleasantness of the last show, what better way to bring the Conquistaboys back together than by going back to their roots with a WWF pay per view from the golden era? Thats right, it's back to 1989 and Trump Plaza where Strike Force will explode! Wait, sorry, where the Mega Powers will explode! We're talking Monsoon and Ventura on the mics, Pre-Model Martel and way too many people with...

Join us for quite possibly the most divisive Conquistabores Four Way Battle Royale of all time! This week, Cam, Euan, Phil and Geordie Al come together to pick who they believe to be the greatest tag team OF ALL TIME. Yep, it's a tag team special so expect arguments, political chicanery and what may well turn out to be the most shocking end to an episode of the Conquistabores ever. And I mean, eve...

The Conquistabores return! Well, three of them do at least. But why have Cam, Phil and Geordie Al come back to Madison Square Podcast? To tear their way through Survivor Series 1990! Teams of five strive to survive then battle in the Grand Finale Battle of Survival! With teams like The Mercenaries and The Dream Team filled with such luminaries as Paul Roma and Tito Santana it should be a good one!...

Thanks to (another) scheduling SNAFU, Prime Time Conquistabores is back! And with Broken Matt Hardy all over social media (via drones, apparently) we thought it time to have a look at TNA. Specifically, what we think was the first step that led to the Final Deletion: Hulk Hogan coming to the six sided ring in 2010. So, Euan Cameron and Phil sit down (each taking two sides of the ring, clearly) and...

The Conquistabores return! Well, three of them. Well, two and a half. Listen, podcasting is a tough game and things can't always go smoothly (apologies again to Richard at Calling Spots) and this was a bumpy recording. Was it, however, as bumpy as it was for the people in attendance at Halloween Havoc 1996? Eh? How's about that for a change of tack? It's a pay per view with the NWO in their pomp,...

Say what? Where's Euan? Al? Why is there only Cameron and Phil? Well. Due to various scheduling SNAFUs the latest full episode of The Conquistabores hasn't been recorded. So, instead of keeping you good folks waiting, me and Cameron thought that we'd record a short little episode to fill the gap. A recording that ended up going just as long as one of the regular shows. Anyway, in this inaugural ep...

New year! New podcast! New hosts! Wait, ignore that last one: it’s still the same people only we’re one person down this week. Yep, Cameron Euan and Phil have showed up but no Geordie Al. Is that because he already had plans on the record date? Or, as the dirt sheets would have it, it’s because this week the topic of discussion is ECW Living Dangerously 1999 on which Hulk Hogan does not appear? Th...

We’re back! With a new logo! And a new guest! Wait, what? A new guest? We haven’t even HAD a guest on the show yet! And what a guest it is as well: it’s only Richard Penaluna of Calling Spots magazine! Yes, that Calling Spots that is beloved the world over! He invades the show to join Cameron, Euan, Al and Phil in order to talk about the Invasion WWF PPV! Invades/Invasion, clever right? Anyway, af...

The Conquistabores are back right here ON THE INTERNET but this time they come not to talk about one Pay Per View. Oh no. They’re here to talk about FOUR.Well, not all of four PPVs. Four matches, specifically matches for the Intercontinental Championship belt. The storied title, that has suffered somewhat over the last few years, has seen a fair few classic matches fought over it. But only one can...

The Conquistabores return! With another SummerSlam! Yay! But this one is of a pure early 1990s vintage, which means Doink! The Smokin Guns! And the red white and blue hero himself Lex Luger! Hey, what? Lex Luger? All American Hero? Oh boy. Geordie Al, Cameron and Phil get together to try and figure out why. Nothing specific really, just…why. If you liked the show, search for us on Facebook, Tumblr...

The Conquistabores return! Again! Look, life is tough especially when you’ve got more important stuff to do, like play video games or look after babies. The point is, we’re back and we’re here to talk all about SummerSlam 2002. Cameron, Euan, Phil and Geordie Al are here talking about Kurt Angle versus Ray Mysterio, Rob Van Dam versus…somebody and Rock versus Brock. Along the way you also get a fa...

The Conquistabores return! Thanks to the continued existence of Phil’s new child this new episode was a bit delayed, but no worries because when we did record it was a good one! It was also out of our comfort zone, in that this show’s PPV is from New Japan Pro Wrestling in the form of Wrestle Kingdom 8 in Tokyo Dome! Wait, that’s from this year? And it hasn’t got Hacksaw Jim Duggan in it? Well, it...

This week on The Conquistabores: No Phil! Knives are drawn over booking decisions! More stories about wrestlers than you can ever imagine! Yes folks, we’re back after a short break thanks to the arrival of a new child for Phil so he left Geordie Al to host this weeks show which means that we’re in the 80s WWF in it’s prime for the second annual Royal Rumble. As you can guess Al spends most of the...

Here we are again! Well, most of us as Geordie Al is away for this episode* leaving Cameron Euan and Phil behind to discuss the WCW pay per view World War 3. Yes. The one with the three rings and 60 men and not much of a clue anywhere to be seen. But that’s a spoiler so in order to find out what we really thought of the show you’ll have to download and get it listened to. Yes you will, then you ca...

Back in the ring, its The Conquistabores! Yes, Cameron, Euan, Phil and Geordie Al are taking on the might that is the Survivor Series of 1995. So that means Goldust and The 1 2 3 Kid and a WWF Champion in the form of Diesel. Big Daddy Cool Diesel? Oh God yes. But not only that, you also get a big bit out female Japanese Wrestling. Don’t even ask, just get the show downloaded and listened to then l...

We’re back for round two! If they had rounds in US Pro Wrestling! But no matter, as the full compliment of Conquistabores is right here ON THE INTERNET as Euan Taylor has now decided to join Cameron, Phil and Geordie Al to talk about The King of The Ring ’93! That’s right, the first-ever-inaugural-never-before seen event to crown the first ever-no-really-there-has-never-been-anyone-else King of Th...

Oh boy! It’s new podcast time! And this one is all about the wrestling! Thats right, join myself, Cameron Philips, Euan Taylor and Geordie Alan Milburn as we tear into wrestling pay per views from the history of the greatest sport of them all. In this inaugural first episode of The Conquistabores, join Cameron Phil and Geordie Al as they tear their way into what was one of their very first pay per...
