It's the end of the Attitude Era!!

The Outlaws are visiting February 2001, one month out from what is arguably the greatest Wrestlemania of all time. 

We're here for one thing and one thing only: 3 Stages of Hell! Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H put to bed their long simmering rivalry which began at Summerslam 1999 through a wrestling match, a street fight and a steel cage match. It's a fun one.

Unfortunately the same can't be said for the rest of this card as the Hardcore, Intercontinental and Tag titles are all the line.

The Outlaws are getting the 'F' out!

We're in brand extension era as the superstars of Raw and Smackdown come together for Summerslam 2002! This is arguably one of the greatest PPV's of all time! 

The Rock and the Next Big Thing, Brock Lesnar, do battle for the Undisputed Championship in the main event. Triple H and Shawn Michaels settle their blood feud with an unbelievable non-sanctioned match which the Outlaws couldn't stop raving about!! 

Elsewhere we discuss the Unamericans' lazy gimmick, The Undertaker's employment history, Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero's technical proficiency and Edge's "meh"ness as a face. 

All that, plus much, much more.

The Outlaws are at Wembley Stadium in London, England for the biggest Summerslam in WWF history!!

We go back to our childhoods to relive the biggest UK PPV ever, as the biggest stars in wrestling make their way across the pond. 

WWF Champion Macho Man Randy Savage defends his title against a horrifyingly dressed Ultimate Warrior as Ric Flair and Mr Perfect concoct a dastardly plan on the outside of the ring. Tag champs The Natural Disasters take on the Beverly Brothers and the Ugandan Giant Kamala attempts to take out our favourite dead mortician.

The main event takes precedence for much of our conversation as The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith attempts to wrestle away the Intercontinental Title from his brother-in-law Bret the Hitman Hart in what we think is one of the greatest wrestling matches of all time. We touch on the absolute genius of Bret Hart, some of the background to the match including the Bulldog's interesting match preparation involving his training partner Jim The Anvil Neidhart.

All of this, plus much, much more.

The Outlaws have made their triumphant return to podcasting! 

Fresh off a break since November, the boys have taken a turn off the 1998 Highway and decided to concentrate on enjoying watching wrestling for a while. Consistently watching WCW can do that to you!

Join them as they discuss the 2004 WWE-produced documentary The Rise and Fall of ECW. They discuss Heyman's business sense, Bischoff's general smugness and the massively talented rosters of stars who emerged from the Philadelphia based outfit including Rob Van Dam, the Dudley Boys, Sabu, Taz, Tommy Dreamer and many more.

"By God they've killed him!!"

It's June 1998 in the world of professional wrestling!! 

The Outlaws talk their likes and dislikes from WCW's Great American Bash '98 where, in the main event, Sting takes on The Giant for control of the WCW World Tag Team Titles. That's right, a singles match for the tag belts. Ahhhh, WCW in 1998. 

Elsewhere the NWO groups continue to dominate proceedings with Hollywood Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart taking on Macho Man Randy Savage and Roddy Piper for....reasons. Booker T and Chris Benoit put on a clinic in what is the 8th match in their best of 7 series(!), Jericho and Malenko go at it again and Goldberg looks to hit 100-0 against Konnan. 

Over at WWF's King of the Ring '98 Mick Foley and The Undertaker go down in history in their iconic Hell in a Cell match. Austin and Kane battle for the title in a First Blood Match. The Rock and Shamrock fight to be crowned this years King of the Ring and we finally see X-Pac's PPV debut since his return from WCW as he battles Owen Hart.

The Outlaws are taking on both WCW and WWF's showings for May of 1998. 

At WCW Slamboree we take in a dream match between Bret The Hitman Hart and Macho Man Randy Savage. 

The NWO continues to implode with the Hollywood and Wolfpac factions taking shape as we see The Giant and Sting take on the Outsiders for the WCW tag team championship. Elsewhere Jericho continues his quest to steal the show in the Cruiserweight Division and Goldberg looks to go 88-0 against Perry Saturn.

At WWF's Over the Edge we completely mark out over Stone Cold Steve Austin and Dude Love's world title rematch as Vince stacks the deck against the Texas rattlesnake. We question why Bradshaw is a farm animal, why we're still being sold LOD 2000, why is Sable v Marc Mero a thing and much, much more.

The Outlaws are back and they're EXTREEEEEEME again!!!

It's ECW's second PPV of 1998, down in the home of the Big Boss Man - Cobb County, Georgia.

We're disappointed by the overbooking going on here as Paul E seems to be trying his hardest to get The Franchise Shane Douglas even more over than he already is. 

We get a fun tag team match as the champions Chris Candido and Lance Storm take on Balls Mahoney and Axl Rotten. Tracy Smothers is back in action with the FBI against the BWO, Mikey Whipwreck looks to take revenge against Justin Credible, Sabu and RVD go 30 minutes for the TV title and New Jack bleeds like a stuck pig for Bam Bam!

The Outlaws are in high altitude in Denver, Colorado for WCW Spring Stampede!

After the highs of reviewing AEW All Out last episode, the Outlaws reach the middest of mids (thanks MJF) as the quality of WCW's output continue to fly downhill at breakneck speed! 

As the issues in the NWO escalate, we get our first ever 'bat on a pole' match as Hollywood Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash take on the WCW Commissioner Rowdy Roddy Piper and The Giant. 

Mr Madness himself Macho Man Randy Savage takes on Sting for the WCW Heavyweight Title as he looks to take control of the NWO for good. 

Raven and DDP battle it out for what feels like the 100th time for the US Title. Booker T continues his string of impressive matches as he looks to retain his TV title against Chris Benoit and Goldberg looks to continue his impressive 73-0 win streak. 

We discuss the waste of time that was Scott Steiner's heel turn, try to work out if everything is OK with Brutus 'the Disciple' Beefcake as he continues his run as Hogan's chief lackey, plus much, much more.

Look out MJ, the Outlaws are in Chicago! 

We dip our toes into AEW for the very first time as we take in All Out 2021 and the highly anticipated return to the ring of CM Punk.

This is our first current PPV in quite some time and - spoiler alert - we absolutely loved it!!

Amazing debuts, incredible in-ring performances, logical storyline progression and putting over young, impressive talent. Who knew professional wrestling could be this fun?

We marvel at the star power of Dr Britt Baker, the physique of Miro, the arrogance of the Young Bucks and MJF, the unbelievable match between the Young Bucks and the Lucha Bros plus much, much more.
