Main Event Marks

We've covered, in two different ways, WCW's inaugural Uncensored event from 1995. Now, we move on to 1996, where The Mega Powers take on The Alliance to End Hulkamania (real name) in a 3-tier cage match. This event has 2-on-8, 3-story cage matches, the Booty Man, battling Hispanics for the US Title, feuding Europeans, giants clashing, a disastrous Chicago Street Fight, and more! My God, this was a beautiful mess.

In 1994, Extreme Championship Wrestling put on their infamous The Night the Line was Crossed show from the ECW Arena. In 1997, their historic Hardcore Heaven event took place in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Today, Greg and I are reviewing them both and having fun trying to figure out WTF is even going on!

We've reviewed this show once before, more in-depth, in episode 144. This was actually our first attempt at covering this abomination. We were more brief and concentrated more on the insanity of everything, having a ton of fun in the process.

The 2026 Royal Rumble just took place in Saudi Arabia. There isn't much to say about it. It was a fairly boring affair, as Rumbles go. But we'll discuss. Also, I'm bringing you the Dark Side of the downfalls of both WCW (in stages) and the NWA (also in stages).

From it's highest of highs on NBC to being passed off to Fox, then being cancelled, revived, cancelled again, and now back in its proper spot as a big time show, WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event has been to set to a lot of wrestling history. Greg and I talk about the greatest moments to come out of those shows and what it meant in the grand scheme of things.

In another unearthed podcast from years ago, Greg and I dive into one of the weirdest Royal Rumbles ever: WWF Royal Rumble 1995. From the boredom of a bleak wrestling year to bizarre booking, stupid gimmicks, constant run-ins, and missed potential, we break down what worked, what didn’t, and why this Rumble is so infamous.

From the carny days of The Gold Dust Trio and Jack Pfefer to Mexico, Japan, the American Golden Era, Attitude Era, modern day, the indies, countless companies and territories, and even the most prominent women to suffer in the business, I'm covering the darkest of dark sides of wrestling history. These are all available as separate episodes on my YouTube and Rumble channels, but now, they're compiled in audio form for all of you to enjoy.

Perhaps the greatest of all time, John Cena, has hung up his jorts and Reeboks, calling it a career. In honor of his historic run in WWE, racking up 17 World Titles among many other accolades, we are honoring him for 2 weeks in a row. Last week, we covered news stories from past episodes that involved John Cena. This week, we're reviewing 12 awesome matches that have been covered in the archives. The last time is now!

"The Doctor of Thuganomics"; "The Leader of the Cenation"; "The Leader of the Chain Gang" John Cena has officially hung up his jorts and Reeboks for the final time. He's calling it a career after countless historic moments, banger matches, and 17 world titles. Is he the G.O.A.T.? There's certainly an argument to be made. For the next 2 weeks, we will honor his legacy. This week, it's all the news stories I could dig up that we've covered in the past about the man. Thank you, Cena!

If you're a WCW fan, you know what December means. It's time for Starrcade! And in 1997, WCW held their biggest event (possibly) of their entire existence. Hollywood Hogan and the NWO were runnin' wild on WCW and, like an avenging angel, Sting made his return. But this time, he wasn't in neon paint with flashy tights. Now, he was sporting a look straight out of The Crow and playing head games with the New World Order. It all led to his first match in about a year on this very night. CHILLS!
