Let's Go to the Ring! episodes
- Episode 48: Road Wild 1999WCW returns to Sturgis one last time for Road Wild 1999...with the face Hulk Hogan the crowd evidently thought it was getting the first year. Plus: Rodman vs. Savage in a match where somehow the guy who (at best) kidnapped somebody is the face! Goldberg vs. Rick Steiner should be a big, impressive fight...right? And...will anyone standing on the apron learn to dodge when someone comes flying at them? 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 35 min
- Episode 47: Road Wild 1998Hogan. Bischoff. Page. Leno? It's Road Wild 1998, and as WCW heads back to Sturgis for the third year in a row, it brings the Tonight Show along for the ride in one of the stranger main events in WCW history. Before that, it's nWo vs. nWo, but Goldberg joins the battle just because. Dean Malenko dons referee stripes, even though WCW's referees don't wear stripes. Plus - we've got a no-DQ match on the card already, but it's probably cool if we convert the match just before it to no-DQ in the middle of the action, right?

- Episode 46: Road Wild 1997WCW returns to Sturgis under an ever-so-slightly different name for Road Wild 1997 (though no one told Michael Buffer about the name change, apparently). Tonight, Hogan challenges for the world title, Ric Flair battles an up-and-coming Cruiserweight in the midcard, the Outsiders have a tag match just before the main event...wait, didn't all this stuff happen last year? Let's see...uh, road trips, spraypainting the title, helicopter footage, Tony-Bobby-Dusty... This...this *is* a new show, right? Right?

- Episode 45: Hog Wild 1996Happy 4th! Our new series begins - the rumble of motorcycles fills the air as Sturgis, South Dakota, goes Hog Wild! WCW and the newly formed nWo clash as Hogan fights the Giant to try to claim the Big Gold Belt for the nWo, while Kevin Nash and Scott Hall try to take down WCW stalwarts Sting and Lex Luger. Also: Is it really a good idea to enter a match with so much shoulder tape you look like a yet...I mean, a mummy? Just what the heck is Kevin Nash supposed to do with that enormous cake? And WCW decides to showcase the durability of Honda motorcycles.

- Episode 44: WCW Monday Nitro July 29th 1996For the first time, we take a look at an episode of WCW's flagship television show, WCW Monday Nitro. The nWo formed back at Bash at the Beach 1996...but hey, it's just another wrestling faction, right? WCW can just carry on as usual, right?

- Episode 43: Spring Stampede RetrospectiveWe've finished up our fourth series! Now join us as we discuss the Spring Stampede series as a whole, to find its unifying themes. See how you do on our Spring Stampede quiz. Plus: Who will get the coveted Series MVP awards?

- Episode 42: Spring Stampede 2000The stagecoach keeps on rolling, but the end of the trail approaches...as WCW Spring Stampede 2000 looms. Ironically, the final Spring Stampede brings a new beginning for WCW as they establish all new champions in a whole slew of tournaments. Plus...Norman Smiley vs. Terry Funk, because we love that pairing so much. DDP vs. Jeff Jarrett for the World Title...and revenge. And, at least seven quintillion cruiserweights pile into the ring for a supposed six-man match!

- Episode 41: Spring Stampede 1999The Spring Stampede series continues...and so too does the rise of Diamond Dallas Page, who has his biggest opportunity yet - a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. Can he dethrone the ever-so-slightly power-mad Ric Flair? Also: Can Goldberg get his revenge on Kevin Nash? Can Konnan even hope to stand against the raw might of...Disco Inferno? And WCW's booked every single lower card title to be occupied by only two matches...that's not weird at all, right?

- Episode 40: Spring Stampede 1998It's Spring Stampede 1998, and there's trouble down at the nWo-K Corral, brother! Hogan and Nash must face Piper and the Giant in a Baseball Bat on a Pole match...but should the two nWo members fear each other more than their opponents? Can Prince Iaukea avenge his defeated mentor, Dean Malenko? Can Saturn best the rising phenomenon, Goldberg? (Uh...no.) Just how much of the arena will remain after DDP and Raven do battle? For all this, plus a wrestler debut Al has long awaited, 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
- Episode 39: Spring Stampede 1997Yeehaw! Spring Stampede may have managed to skip the entire WCW Hulkamania era, but now it's back - landing smack in the middle of the nWo angle! Has the time off hurt the series, or can it come roaring back just as strong as in its first showing? One person who certainly benefitted from the two year gap is Diamond Dallas Page, who has gone from a barely-mentioned opening match performer to a main eventer in the intervening time. Also: Who will win a (very very eventual) title shot against World Champ Hollywood Hogan? Can Prince Iaukea retain his TV title against Steven Regal? Will the commentators even pay attention to Madusa vs. Akira Hokuto? For all this, plus one of the most infamous promo flubs of all time, 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 26 min

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.
