The Monday Night Scores Wrestling Podcast

The numerous outtakes videos online and beyond show you that even the most accomplished of microphone maestros make mistakes sometimes. Well, if the pros drop the ball on rare occasions, you can imagine the terrible mess we make of almost every recording. Having spent the last few months laughing at wrestlers getting things wrong, we thought we’d turn the tables on ourselves and serve up a selecti...

Jump in the TMNS time machine and travel back to 1995 for another week of Raw and Nitro wrestling reviews. Hulk Hogan’s internationally-broadcast descent into insanity continues with one of the strangest promos you’re ever likely to encounter on WCW but, thankfully, Eric Bischoff and the boys deliver with some indelible in-ring action that is not to be missed. Flicking the channel, we find it’s Jo...

Ste, Jim and Los Liam are back with another review of the battle between Vince McMahon and Eric Bischoff, as The Monday Night Wars enters its ninth week. On Raw, we’ve got recaps, previews and a cameo from the 42nd President of the United States…or so some of us thought. There’s a little bit of wrestling to talk about too. Over on Nitro, we push the button to start World War 3, with some revelatio...

The mushroom cloud of Halloween Havoc ’95 is in the rearview as Ste, Jim and Los Liam hurtle down the highway towards another week of Monday Night Wars action.   The Raw comms team donned their fancy dress to mark All Hallows Eve, but some ghastly promos unintentionally supplied WWF’s biggest fright of the night.   Also on the show, Owen Hart and Razor Ramon duke it out for the Intercontinental st...

It’s 25 years to the day since Halloween Havoc ’95 was unleashed on innocent *cough* erm… we mean *cough* paying members of the public and, after weeks of build up on The Monday Night Scores, we felt it was something we simply had to watch. After all, who can pass up the chance to see a real-life Yeti? Join us as we take leave from the Monday Night Wars battlefield to place one of WCW’s most notor...

The Monday Night Wars rumble into another week and your hosts Ste and Jim are back to discuss all the action. This week we broaden our broadcast team with the addition of Spanish Announce Table amigo, Los Liam. He talks cardboard superstars, petulant kids and more from WWF’s In Your House 4 pay-per-view.   We then sift through the PPV fallout on Raw, where Vince pulls some lads off the street to f...

We’re back with another battle for ratings supremacy! We join Monday Night Wars enemies Vince and Eric to see if Raw can pull ahead in the ratings battle, or if Monday Nitro can claw one back. Your hosts Jim and Ste take you back to October 16th 1995 where, not to be outdone by WCW’s tiny cage last week, Raw puts Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart up against evil dentist and future-Kane Isaac Yankem inside a...

After last week’s surprise stalemate, Raw and Nitro are back on the wrestling battlefield and Ste and Jim talk you through every explosion. WCW locks two legends inside a steel cage that wouldn’t look out of place on a battery farm, a peace-making Sting defends a belt he doesn’t seem to care about against the ocean’s apex predator and Hulk Hogan is mourning the loss of his lip turf. Meanwhile, a f...

The premium 90’s wrestling podcast…made by two northerners in London is back for episode 4. Join Ste and Jim as they review another all-action week from The Monday Night Wars. Hulk Hogan unveils his unexpected best friend, before having (quite literally) a close shave with the Taskmaster. Elsewhere, Lex Luger’s stay on WCW Nitro may be short; his job’s on the line against Randy Savage and some in-...

Well, we've done it. It only took three episodes, but we've crossed the Rubicon. Entered the Twilight Zone. Jumped the Shark (no mean feat: he's a big lad...). We're packed to the rafters (no baseball bats in sight ...yet) with absolute comedy, but don't worry there's plenty of grade 'A' wrasslin’ too, including: The most unlikely of unlikely PPV matches is booked (with the help of a pit crew) A p...

This week: there's not a shopping mall in sight - it's regular arenas all round! That hasn't stopped the jaw dropping chaos though - we relive the Monday Night Wars' second skirmish as belligerent bookworms take on beach-based Baywatch bench-pressers in the battle for ratings supremacy. AND - a monster of a man drives a monster of a truck like he stole it. Or is that just his daily driver?! There'...

The Monday Night Scores swaggers down the ramp with a debut double(ish) bill. Our quest to find out which of WWF or WCW produced the best-quality programming of The Monday Night Wars begins with an examination of the wrestling equivalent of Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s assassination – aka the first episode of WCW Nitro – followed by the first Monday night ratings ruckus between Raw and Nitro. There’...
