Hardcore Haven

The Funk Brothers reunite! Cactus Jack makes his ECW debut against Sabu! A Singapore cane is put on a pole! Pitbull #2 returns! It's late June '94 in the "most hostile city in America" and the ECW Arena is packed full for a night that features a cavalcade of the best that NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling has to offer - just not a title match for their champion, or anything. Come along for the ride with us! It's time for Luke Pennock and Brendan Flaherty to review the ECW Home Video exclusive Hostile City Showdown - exclusively for Patreon backers, and nobody else! But aren't you lucky? We're giving you the first few minutes, where we mainly talk about Popeye's and other fast food. Aren't you lucky?

It's time for Luke Pennock and Brendan Flaherty to review ECW episodes 61 and 62, from June 14th and 21st, 1994. If you like people talking about "ooh, aah, I like that", this is the place to be! We talk all about the run up to Hostile City Showdown, including brief appearances from Cactus Jack, 2 Cold Scorpio and Sabu fighting at a Farmer's Market, and some other inauspicious debuts. We also discuss the psyche of community theatre, Montgomeryville Rules, the finer points of Beat the Geeks, and the location of Yonkers. Oh, and Chris Goulstone. All hail.
