- Episode 58: Bash at the BaywatchAt Bash at the Beach 1995, Baywatch crossed over with WCW - now, it's time for WCW to return the questionable favor on Baywatch's version of Bash at the Beach! Can Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage best Vader and Ric Flair to regain that greatest of all wrestling prizes: the escrow papers for a local gym? When Hulk Hogan faces off against a jet ski, who wins? (It ain't physics.) Has any Baywatch editor ever seen any professional wrestling matches, ever? And don't worry - they didn't film enough WCW antics to fill a full episode, but Baywatch's writers came up with exactly the right plot to combine with this fun, lighthearted wrestling angle. For all this and more, let's go to the beach!Music by Michael Gary Brewer at https://www.instantmusicnow.com/Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/letsgo2thering , or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LetsGo2theRing/1 hr 45 min
- Episode 57: Bash at the Beach 1995With Bash at the Beach 1995, WCW has finally hit on the idea of holding a beach-themed show on, you know, a beach! With a partnership with Baywatch and a sponsorship from Slim Jims, the stage is set for interesting show - can WCW deliver fun in the sun? Hogan faces Vader in a cage! Savage faces Flair in a lifeguard match (not those lifeguards, wrestler lifeguards)! Paul Orndorff faces DDP...in a contest to see who can get a better match out of their respective dance partners, Renegade and Dave Sullivan! Plus, triangle match has yet another meaning, and this one sucks. For all this, plus a discussion of Vader and multiverse theory, let's go to the beach!Music by Michael Gary Brewer at https://www.instantmusicnow.com/Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/letsgo2thering , or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LetsGo2theRing/2 hr 57 min
- Episode 56: Bash at the Beach 1994WCW's beach-themed show gets a new title as the company itself enters a new era with the arrival of Hulkamania at Bash at the Beach 1994! It's Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair in a match that's sold as champion vs. champion even though it, well, isn't. Meanwhile, Vader and the Boss - I mean, Guardian Angel - are back at it in a rematch of one of Al's favorites, Dustin Rhodes teams with the very trustworthy Arn Anderson, Ricky Steamboat faces a wonderfully insufferable Steve Austin, and Michael Buffer makes it through his over-the-top match intro for the main even through an effort of sheer will. For all this, plus a couple wooden birds WCW left out in the sun too long, let's go to the ring!Music by Michael Gary Brewer at https://www.instantmusicnow.com/Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/letsgo2thering , or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LetsGo2theRing/2 hr 38 min
- Episode 55: Beach Blast 1993It may or may not be safe to go back into the water, but it definitely wasn't safe to board Sting's boat in the leadup to Beach Blast 1993! It may involve entirely too much attempted explosive homicide, but the match between the Superpowers and the Masters of the Powerbomb is surely epic. Plus: Can NWA champion Barry Windham prove himself against the Man? Can Arn Anderson and promising (?) new Horseman Paul Roma claim tag team gold? Rick Rude has another go at becoming WCW's Iron Man! And...just what is that goop on Tony Schiavone's nose? For all this and more, let's go to the ring!Music by Michael Gary Brewer at https://www.instantmusicnow.com/Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/letsgo2thering , or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LetsGo2theRing/2 hr 43 min
- Episode 54: Beach Blast 1992It's time for fun in the sun as we start our latest series, covering Beach Blast and Bash at the Beach! First up - Beach Blast 1992. Who will prove to be the Iron Man - Ricky Steamboat or Rick Rude? Can Dustin Rhodes and his friends defeat the Dangerous Alliance? Can the Steiner Brothers stop the Murder Torpedo? Are we sure we're not watching a cheesy 90s action movie? For all this, plus a bikini contest you never asked for, let's go to the ring!Music by Michael Gary Brewer at https://www.instantmusicnow.com/Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/letsgo2thering , or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LetsGo2theRing/2 hr 11 min
- Episode 53: New Blood RisingAugust, 2000 - well, I guess it's time to head back to Sturgis, right? Wait, WCW didn't go back to Sturgis? This isn't a Road Wild show? It's called New Blood Rising (even though the New Blood angle is already pretty much over)? Well, what do we have on offer? Let's see. Generic set, confusing rules, mud wrestling, Judy Bagwell on a Forklift... Oh, dear. For all this, plus one of the most infamous matches in WCW history - yes, even worse than the stuff I've already listed - let's go to the ring!Music by Michael Gary Brewer at https://www.instantmusicnow.com/Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/letsgo2thering , or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LetsGo2theRing/3 hr 11 min
- Episode 52: Universal Soldier: The ReturnLast episode, we took a look at Diamond Dallas Page's 1999 film - now, we take a look at Goldberg's! Budget cuts threaten the Universal Soldier program...despite an array of scientific accomplishments that would make your head spin. Supercomputer SETH doesn't exactly take it well. Can former UniSol Luc Deveraux (Jean-Claude Van Damme) save the day? Will Goldberg be better used than DDP was in his film? Will the franchise's new reporter lady live up to the original? For all this, plus more broken plate glass than you can shake a stick at, let's go to the movies!Music by Michael Gary Brewer at https://www.instantmusicnow.com/Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/letsgo2thering , or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LetsGo2theRing/2 hr 25 min
- Episode 51: First Daughter (1999)Happy New Year! At Road Wild 1999, we heard that two WCW wrestlers had been featured in films. But just how featured is "featured?" To find out, first up, we're taking a look at Diamond Dallas Page in the 1999 film "First Daughter" (not to be confused with the 2004 film of the same title). When extremists kidmap the president's daughter, can Secret Service Agent Alex McGregor bring her back? Will Agent Deadmeat survive until the end of the film? And will Dirk Lindman (DDP) get even a single fight scene? For all this and more, let's go...sit on the couch and turn on TBS?Music by Michael Gary Brewer at https://www.instantmusicnow.com/Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/letsgo2thering , or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LetsGo2theRing/2 hr 16 min
- Episode 50! AWA SuperClash IIIWe've reached episode 50! To celebrate, we take a trip back to the late 1980s for a reunion with performers from the early days of our podcast...at SuperClash III! Lots of old friends are back: Wahoo McDaniel, Manny Fernandez, Hector Guerrero, Ron Garvin...even Jimmy Valiant! Plus: Jerry Lawler vs. Kerry Von Erich in a match to unite two belts (and several companies), our thoughts on the wrestling weaponry scale of effectiveness, and a metric ton of promos. There's one Mona Lisa, one Leaning Tower of Pisa...and one Let's Go to the Ring!Music by Michael Gary Brewer at https://www.instantmusicnow.com/Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/letsgo2thering , or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LetsGo2theRing/3 hr 32 min

About Let's Go to the Ring!
From the publisher's feed
Join us monthly as we look through the good old days - and not-so-good old days - of World Championship Wrestling (WCW), series by series, to figure out what makes each of WCW's shows tick. Just what defines Starrcade, and what defines Halloween Havoc? WCW may have gone out of business years ago, but it will never lose its place in wrestling history, and its position as the one true competitor to the WWF may never be replicated. Together, let's take a look through it and enjoy the highs, lows, and strange decisions along the way.
