The greatest wrestling week of Nick's life ends with WCW Road Wild '97 live from Sturgis, South Dakota. Lex Luger would lose to "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, the Steiner Brothers wouldn't win the WCW World Tag Team Championships, and no Sting. So who cares? We do.

In what could only be described as divine intervention, this week is our WWF Fully Loaded '99 deep dive courtesy of a Patreon request. It was billed as the End of an Era as if Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated The Undertaker in a WWF Championship First Blood Match, then Vince McMahon would be gone from WWF for good. Of course, Austin won. Vince left. For a few days. Then he was back and eventually...

This week, Nick and Vaughn react to Vince McMahon retiring from WWE via a Tweet during Friday afternoon. Interesting timing.

Here's a classic episode covering WWF In Your House 16: Canadian Stampede, that was originally recorded in July 2021. ... The WWF in 1997 had some very, very good things, and some very, very bad things. Their July pay-per-view offering in Calgary, Alberta, Canada was one of the best events they produced that year. With a very dynamic and non-traditional babyface Hart Foundation in Canada vs. those...

This week, we head to 1996 WCW, just weeks after Scott Hall appeared for the first time on WCW Monday Nitro. He and Kevin Nash would have a surprise in store for Eric Bischoff at that year's Great American Bash. So would Kevin Greene with his monster promo skills, Steve McMichael making the most shocking turn in WCW in the summer of 1996, and plenty more good stuff! But first, we talk about Vince...

This week, things get extreme AGAIN as we dive deep into ECW's One Night Stand 2006. This was the beginning of the new ECW brand that would be headed by Paul Heyman as GM and Rob Van Dam as the ECW Champion... only for it to fall apart literally weeks later.

Originally recorded May 2021. The guys dive deep into Extreme Championship Wrestling's Wrestlepalooza '98, which took place May 3, 1998 at the Cobb County Civic Center in Marietta, Georgia. Shane Douglas would wrestle with four separate fractures, but that doesn't mean the match was good. New Jack just flies everywhere. RVD and Sabu had a great botchfest. The pay-per-view was great! We also includ...

Originally recorded May 2021. A severe storm and a Sixers playoff game couldn't keep us from recording this week, and it's a good thing. Another great episode was had as Nick and Vaughn dove deep into WCW's May pay-per-view from 1997, Slamboree. There was an NFL invasion of sorts, as football greats Steve "Mongo" McMichael, Kevin Greene, and Reggie White all danced inside the squared circle at thi...
