  • Episode 29 - August 12th, 1996

    The boys are back in what feels like months since recording a podcast in the usual way, and we cover the fall-out from WCW Hog Wild, including Hollywood Hulk Hogan and his newly acquired (and graffitied World Heavyweight Championship Belt), Sting and Lex Luger issuing the challenge to Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, a few B-grade matches including Jim Powers, DDP, Renegade, Konnan, the WCW World Tag Team Titles on the line between Booker T, Stevie Ray, Scott Steiner and Rick Steiner, and a hell of a rematch from Hog Wild, where WCW Cruiserweight Champion Rey Mysterio Jr. takes on Ultimate / Ultimo Dragon.


    Plus a little on our small town of Darwen, Lancashire, and details on our next episode.
