  • Mount Olympus, Fall 2017: WWE Unreleased Part 2

    Originally released November 12, 2017

    After a bit of a delay, Kelly and the legendary Richard Land are back  to finish their exploration of the WWE Unreleased DVD. They are looking  at matches from the New Generation era, or what some consider the Dark  Ages of wrestling. As they review the footage, Kelly and Landy  simultaneously chart the slow, steady decline of the WWF during this  period. Both have strong emotional ties to the time, so this discussion  goes deeper than just reviewing matches. Along the way marvel at the  aborted revival of Piper's Pit, strange tag team combinations, the lame  end of Hulkamania, former partners going to war, and the one and only  TOXIC TURTLES!!!

    Mount Olympus: Shamelessly jumping on the 90's nostalgia craze!

The first part  covers 1986-1991, featuring favorites like Hogan, Savage, Andre,  Roberts, Flair, but also a young Owen Hart, and a  not-ready-for-the-big-time DINGO WARRIOR!

    So sit back and enjoy another fun edition of Mount Olympus!
