The Smack Addict Podcast

Raw returns to Muncie and the big question is this: who will Stone Cold stun next? Someone eats it tonight, rest assured. Also, Bret Hart and the British Bulldog take on the Headbangers for the tag titles, and they… have a hard time? Weird. Also, Shawn Michaels cuts a promo that required some significant editing, because he’s such a pain at this point in his career. Listen now as Matt and Will break it all down!

The road to Badd Blood starts here! Steve Austin is here to cause yet another ruckus, Bret is taking on Vader in a No Holds Barred match, and a strange special cage match in announced for Badd Blood. Also, there’s a pointless midcard triple threat main event!  How fun. Matt and Will break it all down, so avoid a Stone Cold Stunner and pop this into your ears!

It’s the last In Your House PPV with the house set, but it’s also the first In Your House PPV that is over 2.5 hours, and you can just feel the need to stretch it all out. Yep, lots of filler here. But there’s also Bret Hart defending his WWF Championship against The Patriot, in the least subtle title defence of Bret’s ‘Canada vs. US’ era. Also, the main even between Undertaker and Shawn Michaels is wild, even if it doesn’t feature the most conclusive and satisfying ending. Join Matt and Daniel as they arrive at ground zero and talk to you in your house! (Or wherever your ears are, I suppose.)

Bret’s facing The Patriot at the upcoming PPV, so he takes some shots at him during the show, but there’s more to the show than that: Shawn Michaels and HHH team up for the first time (but certainly not the last time) and Brian Pillman drops a bomb on Goldust. Join Matt and Will as they break down the chaos!

BONUS MATCHES: Bret Hart vs. Vader, Friday Night’s Main Event, August 29, 1997, and Owen Hart vs. The Patriot, Friday Night’s Main Event, September 5, 1997

Shawn Michaels is back in action tonight, but he’s got some insurance in the form of a random old wrestler returning. Also, a very crucial member joins the Nation of Domination, and the Hart Foundation sets their sights on the Patriot, who may not be that bright a bulb. Join Matt and Kris as they break it all down and wonder aloud about Commissioner Slaughter’s loyalty!

BONUS MATCH: Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect, SummerSlam 1991, August 26, 1991

Bret Hart is back on top of the WWF, but he’s got a new commissioner to contend with, plus a PPV match against the Patriot. Shawn Michaels is here, and he’s got a few things to say, jack. Plus: Brian Pillman in a dress! Join Matt and Alex as they break it all down!

BONUS MATCH: Bret Hart vs. British Bulldog, SummerSlam 1992, August 29, 1992

It’s one of the biggest shows of our entire podcast run, it’s time for SummerSlam, and it’s time for Bret Hart to try to beat the Undertaker while keeping an eye on the special guest ref, Shawn Michaels. That match has an all-time fantastic ending, but there’s the other side of that coin with the Owen Hart-Steve Austin match, which famously ends in disaster. Join Matt and Will as we climb the blue steel bars of a classic cage match and break down the biggest party of the summer!

Bret Hart takes on the Patriot in Pittsburgh, but he’s still stewing about Shawn Michaels being the guest referee for his impending match against the Undertaker at SummerSlam. There’s also a tag title match AND an arm wrestling match, so join Matt and Daniel as they break it all down! 

Raw is in Halifax, Nova Scotia, which means the Hart Foundation is back in Canada, and the fans are rabid. The Harts headline the show in a six-man flag match, but who is going to step up against them? Also, Shawn Michaels has an announcement that leads to a dramatic confrontation between Bret Hart and Vince McMahon. Join Matt and both(?!) his brothers, Alex and Will, as they break down a historic show that happened in their hometown!

We’re back in San Antonio, the hometown of a certain boytoy, and he is back! As is Sid! Sort of. We also have old man Jerry Lawler teaming up with his so to take on an even older Ivan Putski and his son, which I guess is what we’re looking for? But ultimately, it’s all about Steve Austin and the tag tournament final, and who steps up to be his partner. Hey, wait is that disco music I’m hearing? Hmm… Join Matt and Daniel as they tap their toes and break it all down!

BONUS MATCH: Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart, SummerSlam 1994, August 29, 1994
