What Happened When

On this episode of What Happened When, Tony and Conrad watch the epic WWE World Championship Hell In A Cell match between Cactus Jack and Triple H! This match suggestion comes from T.J. Stephens from La Porte, Indiana. His choice is tremendous, as we take you back to Madison Square Garden in early 2000. T.J. wrote: "Hello Tony, Conrad, and the rest of the WHW Slapdick Nation. Today's special match will be Cactus Jack v HHH for the WWF Title at Royal Rumble 2000. To me, this is the most under appreciated PPV title match of the past 25 years, and the story was terrific. So, let's all sit back, relax, and listen to Tony shit on me, and this match. Thank you." It's going to be very difficult for Tony and Conrad to shit on this match.

But wait there's more! We're going way back to an incredible Mid-South Wrestling battle between Ted DiBiase and the Nature Boy Ric Flair! It is here where Ric Flair defends the NWA Heavyweight Championship against Ted DiBiase. However, the match was not so much the memorable part of this night as much as the angle between DiBiase and Dick Murdoch. It is a great television wrestling show, so says LKBH Mike Lednicky of West, Texas, who suggested this watch along: "Would it be too much to ask to watch the show or just the world title between Flair and Dibiase from the 11-16-85 episode of Mid-South Wrestling? I was 11 when that happened and it was and still is maybe the greatest single hour of wrestling TV I've seen, capped off by that title match which turned Dibiase face." It's another great choice! And Mike, we will watch the entire show.

On this episode of What Happened When, Tony and Conrad take us back to 2001 when WCW folded and the trio of Nasty Boy Brian Knobbs, Jimmy Hart and Greg Valentine tried to come up with an alternative to the WWF the XWF! Though it had many big names, it never found a home. This episode was suggest by LKBH DJ Turn Upof Stone Mountain, Georgia who wrote:

"...I'm choosing the XWF Episode 1.... I chose this because this is a time that is never talked about by Tony or anybody. I'm interested to see what Tony remembers (or doesn't remember) about his brief moment in the XWF...."

Well, this one should be interesting as well as entertaining. Thanks, DJ!

Here's the link to the Episode

The second podcast comes from LKBH Brooke McGaugh of Shreveport, Louisiana. She is also the adopted daughter of Tony and Lois Schiavone, even though Tony did not approve of her marriage to Patrick. (Just kidding, Lois loves Patrick). Where were we? Oh, yeah...anyway...Brooke's choice was from WrestleMania 38:

"...The reason I choose this match is because it was fun and really showed the entertainment of wrestling. I remember watching this match and just having a blast from the giant hand slapping Sami Zayn to Wee Man body slamming Zayn.

Overall, one of my favorite matches I have watched over the past few years and had a lot of fun with it..."

Brooke is right. You may like this or hate it, but you cannot deny it was a lot of fun to watch.

On this episode of What Happened When, Tony and guest host Casio Kid deliver a WHW Patreon treat that we believe you're really going to enjoy. LKBH Adam DeMouy, WHW Monday's own special troll, is having us watch a couple of things, and wrote (at length):

"...No Mercy 2007 - All 3 Triple H matches . The Game was in peak Game Mode during this time and wrestled 3 championship matches in 1 memorable night. The opening Promo where Vince is in the ring giving Randy Orton the wwe championship then The Games music hits and the son in law comes down to the ring to cut an amazing promo on Vinny Mac … Gets what he wants and capitalizes … What a celebration afterwards as JR busts a nut when The Game wins. But then Vince makes him wrestle 2 more matches vs Umaga ( who was a bum , just there cause he was Samoan ) then the main event vs Randy Orton in his prime again. What a match this was … This ppv was the best ppv wwe did in the late early 2000's … The next night on Raw, HBK came back to challenge Orton which was also a great feud. This was during Randy's peak legend killer phase.

Also, I want Tony to relive the only match he personally ever gave 4 stars to on Nitro . Disco Inferno vs Chris Benoit US Championship Match. Nitro 8-16-99 . Disco cuts a promo before the match about being the only star in WCW then he goes down a fights Benoit in a match Schiavone really loved . It's only a 8 minute match. I personally talked with Disco Inferno and he holds this match in high regard and said it was his best match in WCW and he remembers the 4 stars Schiavone gave him on commentary for this match . It would be a personal favor to me ; the longest contributor to the WHW patreon page … just think when we started it was just me and about 8 other guys chatting with Tony in the Gwinnett Braves baseball booth or tuning into listening to Tony call baseball and being miserable to now being totally transformed into Nitro era Schiavone and being basically the VP of All Ego Wrestling…. Hey I can't take all the credit but I can take a small little bit of it… So I guess in closing when you gonna hire Redneck Disco to make sure you have your Starbucks coffee brought to you ? I mean hell if Jake Hager can make six figures for wrestling 3 times a year ; surely I can make 7 figures for carrying a bag and driving a car lol…. Love ya Tony and here for the adventure..."

It's a couple of very good matches from a real pain in the ass. But he is OUR pain in the ass.

On this episode of What Happened When, we're dipping our toes into the WHW Patreon Bonus archives for two epic bloody battles from WWE Judgement Day PPVs. Our first adventure is brought to us by LKBH Michael Amend, we are going to take you back to Judgement Day 2004 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and look at two matches. Both are very different; and according to Michael:

"...The reason I picked Judgement Day 2004 was because there was both a terrible match and a classic match on the show. After a huge buildup of vignettes for the character Mordecai he finally had his first match against Scotty 2 Hottie and let's just say great build up and then the bell rang. I don't remember ever seeing another Mordecai match ever again

The other match to watch which was a classic was the JBL vs Eddie Guerrero match for the title During the match there was a unprotected chair shot that Eddie took that made me think he was dead but the match kept going

Okay Michael, another great choice, and if you like blood, then watch along with us..

LKBH Wade Haupt of Rogers, Minnesota who was in the Target Center in Minneapolis in May of 2005 when John Cena and JBL collided in an "I Quit" for the WWE Championship. Why choose this match for a bonus episode?

"...Both of these guys got a lot of blood. John Cena's face at the end of it was insane looking from all the blood. The one thing I remember from that match was how annoying it was every time they used the microphone, they put a louder "mic cut out" sound effect through the arena..."

Regardless of the sound issues, the visual of this is undeniable.
