What Happened When

If you like great wrestling action with great storylines...then you have come to the wrong place.   A show that was long on skits and interviews and short on action, the event was from Long Beach, California and is best known for the standoff between Jeff Jarrett and Beetlejuice of Howard Stern fame. That was in the very first segment and it went downhill from there. The crew was ready to embark o...

We take you back to some of the great moments of What Happened When!  But wait, there is more!  We also are going to go back and bring you some of the great moments of Conrad and Tony on AdFree Shows. It's a best-of doubleheader and we would love to hear your feedback. Track it!

What does Tony think is the most shocking thing about being backstage at AEW?  What call does he regret making during his career?  Would he leave AEW to work for the Atlanta Braves?  What would he have done differently if he had been in charge of WCW back in the 90's? Tony answers these questions and many more as he fields the queries from our Twitter feed @WHWMonday with the hashtag #AskTony .  S...

It's a fine celebration of 20 years of professional wrestling on "The Superstation" TBS.  Complete with legends such as Gordon Solie, Bruno Sammartino, Andre The Giant, Dusty Rhodes, Bill Watts, Thunderbolt Patterson and more!  However, there was also some (not much) wrestling action featuring Ron Simmons, Cactus Jack, Vader, Rick Rude, Sting, Dustin Rhodes, Barry Windham, Jake the Snake Roberts a...

Regardless of how you feel about the NWO parody of Arn Anderson and the Four Horsemen , you can't deny that you will never forget it.  Well, it's all here including some pretty good matches and some very long interviews and video packages. Additionally, what happened behind the curtain that night BEFORE, DURING and AFTER the infamous parody?  Well, we have the answers on What Happened When. Join C...

Conrad and Tony take you back in time to TWO very different episodes of ECW.  First, we go back to 1994 when Extreme Championship Wrestling was born.  When Shane Douglas threw down the NWA belt and became the ECW champ.  It was quite a swerve to the NWA and will never be forgotten on many levels. Then we will go back to the very first live-to-tape ECW show on TNN in 1999.   Taz opened the show wit...

It's a wrestling show loaded with talent, but also loaded with short matches.  Join Conrad and Tony as they take you back to your childhood of 1996.  Hulk Hogan vs Ric Flair was the headliner, but it also had the Steiners, Sting, Lex Luger, Hall and Nash, DDP, Harlem Heat, Eddie Guerrero, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, VK Wallstreet, the Giant, Chris Benoit, Ultimo Dragon, Konan, Glacier, Kevin Sullivan, Col...

It's all here!  Taz, Chris Candido, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Tommy Dreamer, Sunny, Jake "The Snake" Robert, Rick Rude, the Dudleys, Terry Funk, Shane Douglas, Sabu, RVD, Spike Dudley, Bam Bam Bigelow, Francine and yes, Jenna Jameson . WHW takes you back in time to when hardcore wrestling was fun, in full force and in bed with WWE.  Watch along with Conrad and Tony or just enjoy the banter of two f...

We go back to your childhood once again, and this time we stop at an historic moment in pro wrestling. It was on this show that Owen Hart's piledriver injured Stone Cold Steve Austin's neck and changed things quite a bit. But there is more!  HHH vs Mankind in a cage, Ken Shamrock vs the British Bulldog , Gold Dust against Brian Pillman and Bret Hart meeting the Undertaker . Dave Meltzer did not re...

Okay, so then there is this. The infamous episode of TNA where Jeff Jarrett comes to the ring with a "little person" in a sack. Beats him up and then ANOTHER little person named "Puppet" arrives and pulls a gun on Jarrett.  Got it. Wait.  WHAT? It's all here from 2002. And even AJ Styles vs Elix Skipper could not save this show. And you think WCW was bad? Well, it was, but maybe not THIS bad. Supp...

So this was NWA-TNA in 2002, huh? Yeah, it was bad. Oh, it had some great moments: like Low Ki vs AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels and Elix Skipper vs The Flying Elvises , but most it sucked. From a "little person" doing some "questionable things" in a trash can, to Francine and Jasmine fighting in a shower, this was known more for its sex than its wrestling. You're invited to join Conrad and Ton...

Lot of crazy stuff in this one, kids.  Complete with a disturbance from members of Xtreme Pro Wrestling, the event from the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles, had very memorable moments.  From the Jerry Lynn-Steve Carino bloodbath, to Justin Credible against Tommy Dreamer , to a very exciting six-man tag match to RVD vs Scotty Anton , this night had something for everyone. This final ECW pro...

The same night WCW had Goldberg vs Hollywood Hogan for the World title on Nitro, the WWE countered with a taped show from State College, PA. It wasn't the best show, but the story lines were good enough to make it an excellent show.  With the Undertaker, Stone Cold, Mankind, D-Lo Brown, Terry Funk, Vader, Bradshaw, Val Venis, Dustin Runnels, D-Generation X, Ken Shamrock, Savio Vega, Road Warrior H...

We take you back in time when the wrestling was GOOD, and the acting was BAD! Join Tony and Conrad as Col. Robert Parker, Harley Race, Vader and Sid Vicious go to an island in search of Davey Boy Smith and Sting. And join in for the search for Cactus Jack. In the ring there are Buff Bagwell, Ricky Steamboat, and Paul Orndorff. And an edition of "A Flair for the Gold." Strap yourselves in, we're he...

It's WCW at its very worst! Welcome to the Great American Bash 2000. It was the final GAB from WCW and it was the night Goldberg turned heel and business REALLY went down the toilet. Even though there were other such big names as Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner, Rick Steiner, DDP and Sting , there was no stopping the WCW-to-Out of Business train. Support us on Patreon, get this sh...

All your favorites are here:   Joey Styles, Rob Van Dam, the Dudley Boyz, Shane Douglas, Raven, Tommy Dreamer, Francine, Joel Gertner, Beulah McGillicutty, Sabu, the Sandman, Tazz and Jerry Lawler ! Jerry Lawler ?  That's right, the King was part of a "WWE Invasion" angle during this time as the answer to the NWO on WCW. Conrad and Tony will watch two episodes of ECW Hardcore TV from June of 1997;...

One of the most iconic Monday Nitros ever. Loaded with talent and backstage politics, this event, from Boston was, in a nutshell what WCW was all about, and why WCW went crumbling down. The lineup was spectacular. Hulk Hogan, the Macho Man, Ric Flair, Roddy Piper, Lex Luger, DDP, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, the Steiners, Harlem Heat, Dean Malenko, Chris Jericho, a six man cruiserweight event...a...

Here's the link on Impact Plus for the watch-a-long: https://www.impactplus.tv/details/_6003449127001 It's the first edition ever of IMPACT as it aired on FSN on June of 2004.  With such established stars as Shane Douglas, Dusty Rhodes and Jeff Jarrett, the show had plenty of star power.  And with such performers as Elix Skipper, Amazing Red, AJ Styles, Kid Cash, Frankie Kazarian, Bobby Roode and...

Note: The link to watch along this TNA Show on Impact Plus is: https://impactplus.tv/details/_6003448649001 In January 29, 2003, Tony Schiavone made his first and only appearance in TNA. He arrived on the wishes of his friend, Vince Russo, and turned heel on Mike Tenay. It was a show loaded with talent: AJ Styles, the Rock and Roll Express, Raven, Jeff Jarrett, Amazing Red, Larry Zbyszko, Chris Ha...

This episode of Nitro was known as the funeral for Ric Flair, but it was also a funeral for WCW. The promotion was certainly a "Coffin on Roller Skates" at this point in its history.   Actually, it was chocked full of WCW stars, but there was just TOO MUCH GOING ON. You needed a scorecard and Ritalin just to keep up with everything. From a lovers spat between Billy Kidman and Torrie, to Booker T....

If you were looking for a bad show to watch-along with Conrad and Tony then this is not it. This is actually one of the better wrestling show you will see. Featuring HHH against Ric Flair in a match and storyline that weaved nicely through the show. Plus, a great performance by Stone Cold Steve Austin on the mic helps make this an unforgettable event. Also featuring Chris Jericho, Kevin Nash, Chri...

Conrad and Tony take you back to the Marietta (GA) Civic Center to May 3, 1998 and one of the most panned ECW Pay Per View broadcasts ever. From Bam Bam Bigelow having to work with New Jack, who had knocked himself out cold, to the terrible stunt show from Sabu and RVD, to the messed up finish between Al Snow and Shane Douglas, this one was a stinker. But at least there were the likes of Francine,...

It was 2006 and Vince McMahon ruled the (wrestling) world. What else was he was he to do? Enter the grand idea of winning a tag match against God. Yes, this will go down as one of the most absurd event ever cooked up by the the WWE, but hey, no competition and a group of lousy writers, why not give it a shot. So enjoy Mr. McMahon feeding loaves of bread and fish to the masses, changing water into...

On this episode of What Happened When, Tony and Conrad look back at the April 24, 1993 edition of WCW Saturday Night at the Center Stage Theater in Atlanta, GA! This episode is home to one of the more iconic moments in early 90's WCW - the time Vader powerbombed Cactus Jack on the floor! Plus, in ring action from the Hollywood Blonds, Ron Simmons, Ricky Steamboat and so many more! Support us on Pa...

Let's give Tony and Conrad a "HAND" for this week's episode of What Happened When, as they look back at the February 28, 2000 episode of Monday Night Raw from Madison Square Garden in New York, NY! Why this episode of Raw? Well, because a 76-year old Mae Young gave birth...to a hand. Who booked this?
