WWF Champion Shawn Michaels and Diesel made good friends, but made better enemies! This was the final WWF pay-per-view appearance for both Diesel and Razor Ramon before they went on to WCW to make history. This In Your House was certainly unique because it was thick with the New Generation Era, had traces of the Golden Age, and definitely had signs of what was to come with the Attitude Era. Also, the main event had some moments that would go down in history. The Marks (Troy & Greg) had a lot of fun with this 25-year-old show and you will, too!SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.com/FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: [email protected] FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks

For 83 straight weeks, WCW Monday Nitro was pounding WWF Raw is War like a drum! However, by April of 1998, the tide was turning. WrestleMania 14 was a HUGE success with the crowning of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin as the new top guy and face of the company, Undertaker and Kane continued their collision course with each other, the Rock took over the Nation of Domination and kicked out Faarooq, and D-Generation X was trying desperately to be heels while getting cheered every week. All of these elements are played up on this Raw, on top of a growing storyline with Cactus Jack. It was all topped off, however, with the promise of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin defending his WWF World Heavyweight Title against Mr. McMahon in the main event. This show set ALL KINDS of ratings records! And it raises the question...did people want segments and brawls more than wrestling matches?SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.com/FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: [email protected] FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks

On this 10 year anniversary, we're covering the 7th annual TNA Lockdown event! Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan turned heel back at Bound for Glory 2010 (now in the archives) to form their new group, Immortal. Ric Flair has turned on his group, Fortune, to join up with the super heel group of Immortal, which turned Fortune into babyfaces. That leads to their clash in the Lethal Lockdown main event! We're also not very far removed from the absolute train wreck that was Victory Road 2011, where Jeff Hardy stumbled to the ring in no condition to compete, leading to Sting holding him down for a 3-count in their TNA Title match in less than 2 minutes. So now, Sting is defending that TNA Title against Rob Van Dam and Mr. Anderson while an angry Hulk Hogan plots against the Stinger. Also on this card is the Ultra Male Rules match as Kurt Angle takes on the man who stole away his wife, Jeff Jarrett. The feud is super uncomfortable and whacky, and it's so, so personal on and off screen. Get locked down with the Marks (Troy & Greg) one more time this month for this all cage match spectacular!SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.com/FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: [email protected] FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks

WCW had just signed Hulk Hogan, but he wouldn't yet appear on pay-per-view for the Atlanta-based wrestling promotion. In this very first ever Spring Stampede show, WCW went back to "old faithful" with putting Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat against each other for the World Title in a main event straight out of 1989 (Chi-Town Rumble, to be exact). Also on the undercard were the Nasty Boys taking on Cactus Jack and Maxx Payne in a wild Street Fight, Dustin Rhodes and Buckhouse Buck in a bloody Bunkhouse match, Steven Regal defending his TV Title against Brian Pillman, Steve Austin defending his US Title against Great Muta, and Rick Rude's final WCW pay-per-view wrestling appearance against Sting for the International World Heavyweight Title (big gold). Tons of history on this one!SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.com/FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: [email protected] FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks

It was the second TNA Lockdown event ever, held just weeks after WrestleMania 22! Top to bottom, this all-cage pay-per-view has a lot of offer to a variety of fans and was actually a damn good and memorable show, topped off with Lethal Lockdown (their version of War Games). Jimmy Pallotto, who's a sports expert from the Unhinged Sports Network, stops by to fill in for one of the Marks, Greg, on this episode. He was more of a WWE fan at this time, but he loves looking back at classic TNA, as does host Troy.SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.com/FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: [email protected] FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks

WrestleMania went Hollywood back in 2005, just weeks before TNA held their first ever all-cage match pay-per-view, Lockdown. This is also the second WrestleMania in a row to break the trend of stadiums in favor of an arena. The story of this event is really "trying something new." The first ever Money in the Bank match takes place and two brand new up-and-coming champions were crowned. There were also a ton of celebrities in attendance, almost every match on the card was a banger, AND you get to see the Big Show wearing a diaper for a sumo wrestling match! How great is that!?SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.com/FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: [email protected] FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks

This was certainly a fun event for anyone who likes classic TNA. Christian Cage defends his NWA Title in the main event against "The Alpha Male" Monty Brown, Samoa Joe defends his X-Division Title against AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels in an Ultimate X match, the World X Cup is decided, Jeff Jarrett's crew goes against Team 3D, Rhino, and Ron "The Truth Killings, the search for Sting/Steve Borden continues for Eric Young and Paparazzi Productions, and we get the TNA debut of a former WCW World Champion. This is some of the best and worst of old school TNA all wrapped up into one show. The Marks (Troy & Greg) are admitted big fans of TNA, so this is a tad bias, but they try to be as objective as possible.SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.com/FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: [email protected] FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks

This is a long one, but there's A LOT of subject matter to cover. And yes...there is a trigger warning in here for you! The Marks (Troy & Greg) are diving headfirst back into the Hell Hole that was Extreme Championship Wrestling. This one was quite the unique show, featuring multiple crimes and/or attempted crimes. The show opens with Dusty Rhodes vs Steve Corino in a Texas Bullrope Match, ends with Rhino vs Super Crazy, and doesn't have much going on in between with any quality. However, a man nearly dies! So that's discussed AT LENGTH. If you enjoy Vice's Dark Side of the Ring series, you may dig this show.SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.com/FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: [email protected] FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks

Considered by many to be the greatest WrestleMania of all time, WrestleMania X-Seven; X-7; 17 was headlined by Austin/Rock 2 and was known as the night the Texas Rattlesnake turned heel, siding with Mr. McMahon. This was also just 6 days after the simulcast Raw is War and Nitro where Vince and Shane McMahon made public that WCW was officially dead, bought out by the WWF. Also on the card was TLC 2, Triple H vs Undertaker in their first WrestleMania encounter of 3, Mr. McMahon vs Shane McMahon in a Street Fight, Raven vs Kane vs Big Show for the Hardcore Title, and much more! Houston...we have a problem.

We are officially 2 decades removed from the final pay-per-view event under the World Championship Wrestling banner. Rookies squashed some legends, some legends really SHOWED THEIR ASSES, new champions were crowned, the opener was surprisingly awesome, and the main event was complete insanity! There is plenty to talk about on this one, from top to bottom! Also, in the news, the Marks (Troy & Greg) are talking about a teenager sentenced to life in prison after claiming to have killed his sister with a wrestling move, Time Warner trying to get rid of some lawsuits, the impending doom of the XFL 1.0, and some snags in Fusient Media's purchase of WCW. All that and more on our 40th episode!SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.com/FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: [email protected] FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks
