Brad Armstrong is in the opener against Barry Windham, Sting & Dusty team up against the Horsemen on top, and along the way we see Lex Luger get ambushed and left a bloody mess. The silliness that was the triple cage concept can't be topped with the original sketch bit this week either. Oh and Flair signs a contract on a big boat. This JCP just a few months before their big boat hit an iceberg. Don't miss Clash of the Champions II! Hey, is that a skeeter?

If you had to trace the "boom" in popularity in professional wrestling in the late 90s back to a single point, it was the May 27, 1996, Monday Nitro when Scott Hall showed up on Nitro and started what would become the hottest angle in history, the nWo. This was the first ever two hour Nitro, plus Steve Doll vs. the Mauler, Bobby Walker vs. Brad Armstrong, a hilarious new moment in the show for the American Males, a Ric Flair promo even Meltzer was embarrassed by, a tremendously awful angle with John Tenta and Ray Traylor, plus Ham Cubes takes on Sting in the main event of a show that would be otherwise horribly forgettable without Scott Hall. Conrad and Tony debate who was or was not a "stooge" plus they make a tremendous announcement about the future of the show, what's changing, and what new content you can expect very, very soon!

Slamboree '93 was the Legends Reunion and there has never been a show like this before... thankfully! Tony loved it but Conrad maybe not so much. WCW is hitting the panic button based on poor houses and they're doubling down on nostalgia. If you haven't actually watched a show along with us in a while, this is the one! WCW production is at it's all-time worst here. Seriously, it's so bad you have to see it for yourself. Scott Norton refused to lose to Sting so they brought in... the Prisoner. Yes, it's what you think it is. The Legends are in the ring but no one introduces them, Matt Koon is playing guitar instead of wrestling, the cameras miss the pyro, Ventura missed the show, the lights go out during a promo (and don't come back on), Bullet Bob is out with an injury, guys in their 50s are going to time limit draws, Cactus Jack is the best angle in the company so of course he's not on this card, WCW is desperate for a big heel so they take a stab at bringing Sid back, Shane Douglas is hurt and wants out but they don't want us to believe that so they call Tom Zenk "Shane Douglas" -- this is not made up. How? Well put him under a hood like a Mexican tag team but let's not pretend they're Hispanic, let's believe they're Shane Douglas. Confused yet? WCW in 1993 folks. You gotta see this to believe it. Oh and Paul Roma is a Horseman. Yes, this is that show. PAUL ROMA IS A HORSEMAN!

Ole Anderson has taken over for the booking committee, Tony Schiavone is back from the WWF, Terry Funk quit, the Road Warriors are leaving for the WWF, Luger gets one more shot at the World Title, but who we really need to get over is... Robocop! Yes, Robocop in WCW is finally the topic for Tony and Conrad to discuss! It's hard to believe that Mark Callous is just six months away from being the Undertaker. Find out who quit the promotion over refusing to lose to his heart punch, oddly enough what two guys were signed at the same time, JYD returns to a controversial angle, who Tony thinks was feeding the dirt to the Torch, what Tony felt the company needed desperately on this show, a hair match with two bald guys, and much more on a fun WHAT HAPPENED WHEN?!

Tony and Conrad break down WHAT HAPPENED WHEN WCW finally started to trail the WWF in the ratings. Kevin Greene, Dennis Rodman, bringing Flair back, signing the Ultimate Warrior, and even challenging Vince McMahon to a fight?! What wouldn't WCW try to get things back on track. Business is through the roof but more than 30 guys are out with injuries and Bischoff is feeling desperate. We break down the "Vinnie Mac" challenge in silly detail, discuss the sleeper story of 1998 with a front office employee who had crazy power in the middle of these Monday Night Wars potentially jumping ship, Ric Flair in People's 50 Most Beautiful, why Flair wasn't already back, what Kevin Nash wanted to do with him, what everyone in the back was talking about for Goldberg, who was suing WCW over the Ultimo Dragon, the rumor and innuendo around Benoit's losing streak, how you knew Dusty was helping book this show, and one hell of an under card on a very underrated Slamboree 1998!
