2 hr 15 min - CLASSIC EPISODE: WCW Halloween Havoc '98 Deep Dive
Recorded October 2020. (Episode 255)
Join Vaughn Johnson and Nick Piccone for this classic episode as they dive deep into WCW's Halloween Havoc 1998! It took place on October 25, 1998 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Despite being red hot in 1997, WCW had its best fiscal year in 1998 and was setting records. Unfortunately, by October 1998, much of that money starting going down the drain as creative got worse and worse. This pay-per-view is the epitome of what laid ahead for WCW in the coming years. We got the Hogan vs. Warrior rematch. We wish we didn't. The undercard was brutal. The event wasn't even salvaged by a fantastic main event that featured Goldberg and Diamond Dallas Page ... perhaps Goldberg's best match ever!

1 hr 52 min - CLASSIC EPISODE: WCW Halloween Havoc '97 Deep Dive
Recorded October 2020. (Episode 254)Join Vaughn Johnson and Nick Piccone for this classic episode as they dive deep into W̶C̶W̶ Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc 1997. It took place on October 26, 1997 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It garnered a 1.10 pay-per-view buyrate, and Nick was among those. WCW in 1997 was red hot and the road to Starrcade was no different. With a couple of bumps along the way, however, Halloween Havoc that year was a microcosm of what was to come for WCW. Pretty good start - lame finish.

2 hr 6 min - CLASSIC EPISODE: WCW Halloween Havoc '95 Deep Dive
Recorded October 2021. (Episode 305)
Join Vaughn Johnson and Nick Piccone for this classic episode as they dive deep into WCW's Halloween Havoc 1995... where Hulk Hogan and The Giant would square off not once... but twice! The Sumo Monster Truck Match and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship match would feature the two... all the while the Giant would fall off the roof in the building in between those events. It's really a hoot.

1 hr 39 min - CLASSIC EPISODE: WCW Halloween Havoc '94 Deep Dive
Recorded October 2021. (Episode 304)
It was Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair in a Steel Cage Retirement match... ALREADY. Hogan had debuted for WCW in June that prior year and they're already blowing it off. Oh, WCW.

2 hr 1 min - 408: WWF IYH 18: Badd Blood (Oct. '97) Deep Dive
This week, the guys dive deep into the show that featured the very first Hell in a Cell match: WWF Badd Blood: In Your House. Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker gave us a match to remember, which none of the other matches on this show can say.
BUT FIRST, the current day nonsense: AEW's new TV deal, new NXT title (and IC Title) designs, and more.
