What Happened When

Tony and Conrad take you back in time to one of the most remembered a talked about PPV's ever. Halloween Havoc '91. The clusterf**k that featured the Chamber of Horrors where Abdullah the Butcher was electrocuted even though the throw switch kept falling even before the dirty deed. Oh, and watch out for the "refer-eye," a Jim Herd invention only superseded by the Godd**m Candyman.

It's the episode where real-life intersected with pro wrestling, when on April 22, 1998, Marcus "Buff" Bagwell was seriously injured during a Ric Steiner bulldog from the top turnbuckle. What transpired was a complete shutdown of the show. It makes for a very interesting look behind the scenes at WCW. Join the guys as they relieve the moments of a very scary moment in pro wrestling and a close loo...

It was the Bill Watts Era and WCW Saturday Night at Center Stage was still the flagship program of World Championship Wrestling. The feature event on this night was one of semi-final matches of the "King of Cable" Tournament between Big Van Vader and "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes. Join Conrad and Tony as they take you back to a WCW loaded with talent and loaded with announcers on-camera! Support us...

This is one of those shows. One that many said helped kill WCW. Tony says BULLSHIT; that WCW was dead long before that. Anyway, join the guys as they look back at the time Vince Russo became the WCW Champion. It happened on WCW Monday Nitro and this is What Happened When....

Less than one year before WCW was sold to WWE and closed the doors forever, a WCW Monday Nitro full of sex and craziness hit TNT. It was complete with a "Viagra on a Pole Match" between Kidman and Shane Douglas; a "Straight-Jacket Match" between Big Sexy and Big Papa Pump; and Major Guns and Miss Hancock in an impromptu food fight. So, join Tony and Conrad as they survived the bachelor party and w...

Thirty years ago, Jim Crockett Promotions was in its final months; tensions were high and the wrestling quality was down. In the days leading up to the sale to Turner Broadcast everyone was wondering what was next for the "NWA?" Tony and Conrad take you on the journey back to the studios of TBS.

Yes, this WCW Pay Per View had a little of everything: Hulk Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior, Silver King (WTF?), Raven, Saturn, Roddy Piper, Bret Hart, DDP. And it had a LOT of nothing: no sense, no good finishes, nothing-happening announcing, and no one wanting to work a match. Welcome to Fall Brawl '98. It was the original HELL in a cell.   Support us on Patreon, get this show early and ad free, plu...

Here it is! Conrad and Tony watch along with one of the most memorable moments in the run of WCW Monday Nitro. The return of Ric Flair to WCW and the re-formation of the Four Horsemen. But that's not all! Goldberg vs Sting. The silly Hogan and Ultimate Warrior smoke and mirrors angle AND Scott Hall puking on Eric Bischoff. It was a memorable three hours of the best (and some of the worst) of World...

One of the big parts of the WHW Starrcast experience during "All In" weekend was fans being able to do "wrestling style" interviews with Tony Schiavone. Additionally, the WHW LIVE was a smash hit because of a few surprise guests. One of those guest did a candid sit-down with Tony Friday at Starrcast.   Support us on Patreon, get this show early and ad free, plus TONS of BONUS content: patreon.com/...

Relive the moments of one of the very good PPV's from the WCW era: Spring Stampede '99. From the incredible ability of Blitzkrieg, to Hardcore Hak, to an completely out-of-control Scott Steiner to Diamond Dallas Page becoming the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, this show was really packed with great action. Plus, no interviews! What? That's right, just action.   Support us on Patreon, get this sho...

In 1989, Vince McMahon hired this 31-year-old redneck named Tony Schiavone away from WCW and put him on the big stage with Jesse "The Body" Venture as the announce team for SummerSlam 1989. So, sit back, open up your can of Potted Meat and/or Vienna Sausages (YOU'LL FIND OUT WHY, LATER) and relieve the moments from the Meadowlands as Hogan and Brutus Beefcake meet the Macho Man and Zeus.   That is...

Strap yourself in, Slapdicks, and get ready for an episode of Thunder chocked full of...stuff. Like Ric Flair getting beat up in a field, Eric Bischoff as a limo driver, Ralphus in drag, Torrie Wilson in a hotel room and Raven's mom!  It's Thunder...and it's better than you first thought. (JUST KIDDING!!)

The unforgettable appearance of the Shockmaster at the Clash of the Champions XXIV from 1993. It was on a segment of "Flair for the Gold" and was, without a doubt, capsuled what was wrong with WCW. Find out how they came up with the costume and how they changed things at the end to cause the "trip" that forever changed the career of Fred Ottman.

Join Conrad and Tony and special idiot...er...guest Casio Kid as they relive the moments from 2000 when Hulk Hogan, Jeff Jarrett and Vince Russo were part of one of the most famous moments in WCW lore.   But before we get there, you have to suffer through a "Wedding Dress Match" and a "Graveyard Match" and plenty other silliness.  It's the last Bash at the Beach, and as you will hear, for good rea...

Here it is gang! Goldberg vs Hulk Hogan at the Georgia Dome in front of an announced crowd of 39,919 on July 6, 1998. It was the beginning of the Goldberg WCW World Title reign and the night of memorable moments like.....uh.....like Tokyo Magnum dancing with Alex Wright and the Disco Inferno, Tony's chair being VERY high and STIIIINNNNGGGG with a red tomato face. How did it all go so wrong for WCW...

As Jim Crockett Promotions headed to the Great American Bash 1988, they were pulling out all the stops (good and bad) to set up Ric Flair vs. Lex Luger for the NWA World Heavyweight Title at the Baltimore Arena. It would be the final year of JCP, as within six months they would sell to Turner Broadcasting. Join Conrad and Tony as they go back and look at the one hour version of World Championship...

Join Conrad and Tony as they watch World Championship Wrestling's June 13, 1987 Episode.  It was only one hour on TBS that week, but it was loaded with great interviews and action.  Watch Dusty Rhodes and Tully Blanchard battle for the NWA World TV Title featuring a post match interview with TOMMY YOUNG!! and the first public appearance of Magnum TA since his tragic car accident of October of 1986...

Brad Armstrong is in the opener against Barry Windham, Sting & Dusty team up against the Horsemen on top, and along the way we see Lex Luger get ambushed and left a bloody mess. The silliness that was the triple cage concept can't be topped with the original sketch bit this week either. Oh and Flair signs a contract on a big boat. This JCP just a few months before their big boat hit an iceberg. Do...

Ric Flair vs. Dusty Rhodes, a Rock N Roll Express Dream Date contest, Jimmy Valiant in a hair feud, a Flair promo with the front row dressed in suits, Ole Anderson returning to attack Dusty and cut a legendary promo, Dusty responding with a promo that is out of this world, Magnum gets stripped of the US title, the James Gang is in town, multiple Jim Cornette promos -- lady and gentlemen, this is J...

If you had to trace the "boom" in popularity in professional wrestling in the late 90s back to a single point, it was the May 27, 1996, Monday Nitro when Scott Hall showed up on Nitro and started what would become the hottest angle in history, the nWo. This was the first ever two hour Nitro, plus Steve Doll vs. the Mauler, Bobby Walker vs. Brad Armstrong, a hilarious new moment in the show for the...

Slamboree '93 was the Legends Reunion and there has never been a show like this before... thankfully! Tony loved it but Conrad maybe not so much. WCW is hitting the panic button based on poor houses and they're doubling down on nostalgia. If you haven't actually watched a show along with us in a while, this is the one! WCW production is at it's all-time worst here. Seriously, it's so bad you have...

Ole Anderson has taken over for the booking committee, Tony Schiavone is back from the WWF, Terry Funk quit, the Road Warriors are leaving for the WWF, Luger gets one more shot at the World Title, but who we really need to get over is... Robocop! Yes, Robocop in WCW is finally the topic for Tony and Conrad to discuss! It's hard to believe that Mark Callous is just six months away from being the Un...
