Don’t let the poster fool you. There is absolutely no Undertaker in this show from Charlotte, NORTH Carolina. What we do have is a 6 pack challenge featuring 5 of the greatest superstars of the era and the British Bulldog, the completely satisfying “Kennel from Hell” match that was definitely not a complete embarrassment, and all the drama of the referee strike.

It’s SummerSlam from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and everyone’s here, even former Governor Jesse Ventura! Wait, he was the CURRENT governor? We also get a great match from Shane McMahon and some incredible tag team action from Edge & Christian. Not to mention . . . I’m sorry, I’m still stuck on the governor thing.

We’re back with a new one! The road to SummerSlam takes us through Buffalo, New York. It’s so big it takes us from the arena to a service road by the arena to a parking structure adjacent to the arena. It’s all leading to a first blood match between Austin and the Undertaker, and if Austin wins, we will never see Vince McMahon ever again on television.

Only one more week until we’re back to new episodes! In the mean time, take a trip back to the debut of Kane and the time we got wrecked off of our Bloody Mary competition on the hottest day of the year.

Aaron’s Recipe:

Fill a highball glass with ice. Shake in celery salt. Add a two dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Add several dashes of Tobasco, to personal taste. One shot or more of GIN, and fill the rest with Clamato. Squeeze in a lime wedge and stir. Let sit for a few minutes to chill.

Eric’s Recipe:

Rim a mason jar with Tajín seasoning. In a shaker mix a shot, maybe a shot and a half, of vodka (just pour for like 5 seconds), tomato juice, celery salt, celery bitters, Worcestershire sauce, Chipotle Tabasco, white horseradish, and Peter Luger’s steak sauce and ice. Shake well and pour. On a skewer, place bacon, a cornichon and a pickled quail egg, and garnish.

New episodes coming very soon, but in the meantime, go back 22 years to this show from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada following Summerslam 1998. We apologize for reminding you the Disciples of Apocalypse, Southern Justice, and Marc Mero existed. We don’t like it either. But at least you got Austin vs. both Brothers of Destruction and a steel cage match with the Rock, Mankind and Ken Shamrock.

We’re a little behind on recording, so let’s all go back 23 years to a glorified house show from Birmingham, England. Revel in nostalgia for teams like Los Boriquas and wrestlers like the patriot, while we remember a time where we could crush spiked seltzers while recording in the same apartment.
