The Bubba Cast episodes

  • Big Boss Man Vs. Nailz (Survivor Series 1992)

    Sup, Bubba?! On this episode of The Bubba Cast, we revisit Survivor Series from November 25, 1992, with special focus on Big Boss Man vs. Nailz—one of Lacy's Dad's most heated, uncomfortable, and unforgettable feuds of the early ’90s. 

    We break down the nightstick-on-a-pole match, the promos that fueled it, and how Boss Man embodied WWF’s version of law and order during a wild era of cartoon logic and real intensity.

    Plus: Mr. Perfect’s shocking alliance with Macho Man, Bobby Heenan’s smartmouth, Undertaker’s first coffin match, Yokozuna’s rise, and Bret Hart surviving Shawn Michaels in a champion-vs-champion showdown.

    We hope you enjoy listening to a Thanksgiving time capsule full of WWF Golden Era goodness. Nightsticks, turkeys, Bobby Heenan meltdowns, Santa Claus, and zero logic—Survivor Series ’92 had it all.

  • Big Bubba Vs. Konnan

    Season's Beatings, Bubba! This week on The Bubba Cast, we head straight into the heart of WCW’s most chaotic holiday season with WCW Monday Nitro live on December 23, 1996 from the Macon Coliseum—and a night where alliances shattered, questions multiplied, and Big Bubba officially crossed the line.

    We break down a stacked episode featuring a technical clinic between Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit in the U.S. Title Tournament, Diamond Dallas Page scouting his Starrcade competition, and Four Horsemen drama that felt one stiff breeze away from implosion. From Hogan’s unhinged nWo monologues to Sting’s growing mystery, Nitro was operating at full soap-opera velocity.

    But the centerpiece of the episode is the moment that still echoes: Big Bubba Rogers aligning himself with the nWo. We walk through Bubba’s match with Konnan, Nick Patrick’s not-so-subtle officiating, and discuss what's going on in the WCW Universe leading up to Starrcade.

  • Big Boss Man Vs. Mankind in a ladder match

    Sup, Bubba?! In this episode of the Bubba Cast, we break down one of the most infamous RAW episodes of late 1998. Stone Cold Steve Austin arrives in Baltimore armed with a shovel and a mission, Lacy's Dad wins the Hardcore Title, The Undertaker spirals deeper into his darker persona, and Paul Bearer becomes the centerpiece of one of the wildest closing angles of the entire era.

    We cover:

    • Austin vs. Undertaker — the embalming fallout and the buried-alive build
    • Kane trying to avoid being institutionalized
    • The Corporation’s power grab across every championship
    • Big Boss Man vs. Mankind in a punishing Hardcore Title ladder match
    • X-Pac vs. Ken Shamrock and the DX vs. Corporation tension
    • The New Age Outlaws navigating McMahon’s recruitment games
    • The Rock’s dominance at the top of the card
    • The mid-card chaos that defined 1998 — The Brood, Val Venis, Jarrett, Goldust, and more

    From backstage segments to in-ring storytelling, this RAW is a snapshot of why the Attitude Era remains one of the most electric stretches in wrestling history.

  • Big Boss Man Vs. Dusty Rhodes

    Sup, Bubba?!

    The lights are bright in Topeka, Kansas, and the madness is running wild, brother! On this episode of The Bubba Cast, we’re rolling the tape back to WWF Saturday Night’s Main Event from November 25, 1989 — a night packed with larger-than-life promos, poetic villains, and good ole fashioned wrasslin'. 

    Ultimate Warrior tries to chop down Andre the Giant in a battle of power versus pure chaos. Dusty Rhodes teaches the Big Boss Man what “justice for all” really means (with a little help from Sapphire). Hulk Hogan locks up with The Genius in a match that’s equal parts poetry, pageantry, and property damage — thanks to Mr. Perfect’s “improvements” to the WWF Championship belt.

    From the Brain Busters’ last stand to the Rockers flying high, this episode has it all — drama, damage, and the nonsense that made late-80s wrestling unforgettable.

  • Big Bubba Vs. Lex Luger

    Sup, Bubba?!


    On this episode of The Bubba Cast, we fire up the time machine and head back to Orlando, Florida, for WCW Monday Nitro, July 15th, 1996 — just one week after Hulk Hogan shocked the world and formed the nWo at Bash at the Beach.

    From the MGM Studios entrance gates to the ring chaos, this night had it all: The Steiner Brothers battling Fire & Ice, Harlem Heat defending the gold, Medusa keeping the women’s division alive, and technical clinics from Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, and Chris Benoit. But the story overshadowing it all? The Outsiders lurking, Hogan’s venomous words, and the nWo staking their claim on WCW.

    And right in the middle of the storm — Big Bubba Rogers steps into the main event against a banged-up Lex Luger. Bubba promises to end Luger once and for all, but when the New World Order crashes the party, even Bubba finds out no one is safe.

    If you love Monday Night Wars nostalgia, legendary promos, and stories that connect the action inside the ring to the legacies outside of it, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

  • Big Boss Man Vs. The Mountie in a Jailhouse match

    Sup, Bubba?! On this episode of The Bubba Cast, at SummerSlam ’91, law and order was on the line when Big Boss Man battled The Mountie in the infamous Jailhouse Match — with the loser spending a night behind bars. We dive deep into the red vs. blue clash, the Alabama Slam finish, and the unforgettable scenes of The Mountie being dragged away, fingerprinted, and tossed in a New York City cell.

    Along the way, we touch on Bret Hart’s Intercontinental Championship classic against Mr. Perfect, Virgil’s upset win over Ted DiBiase, the Legion of Doom’s street fight title victory, and the headline wedding of Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth.

    But make no mistake — the heart of this episode is Boss Man serving justice, Southern style.

  • The Twin Towers Vs. The Mega Powers

    The Mega Powers Explode? WWF The Main Event II (1989)


    On this episode of The Bubba Cast, we’re going back to February 3, 1989, when the WWF put the Mega Powers to the test at The Main Event II. Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage faced off against the Twin Towers—Big Boss Man and Akeem—in one of the most chaotic tag team matches of the era. From Miss Elizabeth being handcuffed and knocked unconscious, to Hogan abandoning the match for her, to Macho Man’s simmering jealousy boiling over, this night marked the beginning of the end for the Mega Powers.

    We’ll break down the action, the drama, and the storytelling that made this night unforgettable—including Boss Man’s menacing presence, Jesse Ventura’s heel commentary gems, and the infamous post-match explosion between Savage and Hogan.

  • The Guardian Angel Vs. Vader

    Sup Bubba!?

    On this episode of The Bubba Cast, Lacy and Zerpie cover their first Guardian Angel match on the pod. It’s September 24th, 1994 on WCW Saturday Night, and Bubba’s throwing hands with Vader in a hard-hitting main event that ends in pure WCW chaos. We’re talking Harley Race interference, mask-ripping, top rope splashes, and more “did-that-just-happen?” moments than you can count. Since this episode isn't available on Streaming platforms, Zerpie had to dig deep into the VHS recording archives for this one—complete with all the build-up from Fall Brawl, the bizarre subplots only WCW could pull off, and why this match is a hidden gem in Bubba’s ring career.
