Wrestling With My Girl

In episode 21 Sara & CJ talk about the first Halloween Havoc from 1989. It's October and we decided to use the upcoming holiday to make things a little spooky!

The show was heavy on tag team action featuring the likes of: The Fabulous Freebirds, The Legion of Doom, just Doom, The Midnight Express, The Steiner Bros, and of course the Dynamic Dudes. In addition, we got to see a young Flyin' Brian Pillman work his magic and try to get a match out of the "Total Package" Lex Luger. 

Was there enough Halloween aesthetic? Did the main event "shock" us or anyone?

In the second part of the episode we take a look at one component of the business of professional wrestling, specifically within WWE. This week we focused on the aspect of making stars. Does WWE make 'em anymore? Why not and why should they?

In episode 20 CJ and Sara discuss the first RAW brand network special after the roster split. We hit upon: Kevin Owen's first defense of the Universal title, match seven between Cesaro and Sheamus and does anyone care, the crusierweights, and more.

In part two we talk about the first three episodes of the recently premiered Season 3 of Lucha Underground. Highlights include: Marty the Moth and Killshot going to war in a "Weapons of Mass Destruction" match, Dario is everywhere and he has a "Dial of Doom", there's an amulet that give one immortality (sorry guys, females only), and Son of Havoc's mother appears and serves us all Bagel Bites!

In this week's episode, CJ & Sara tackle WrestleMania 15. Factions abound with The Ministry, the Corporation, and DX. Undertaker talks real good and we get to see the first match up in the trilogy of Austin and The Rock. Ragin' Climaxes all around. (That was the show's tagline, no we're not kidding.)

Relive one of the greatest and important matches of all time with Sara and CJ. Bret "The Hitman" Hart takes on "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in a submission match at WrestleMania 13. Some say this is the beginning of the Attitude Era and with the other significant WrestleMania debuts on this show, they maybe right.

In episode 16 of Wrestling With My Girl CJ and Sara dive into WrestleMania 12. We've covered a dozen now, so where does this one rank? Does Shawn Michaels finally achieve his boyhood dream of winning the WWF championship? Plus we have the WrestleMania debuts of both HHH and a certain ringmaster with a stone cold demeanor. 

Oh hell yeah!

For episode 15 Sara and CJ take a quick "WrestleMania Abstain-ia" (TM) due to the overload of wrestling that took place between NXT Takeover: Brooklyn II and SummerSlam.

Was the NXT Takeover special as good as they usually are? How was Bobby Roode's Takeover debut? (Hint: glorious!) In addition to the awesome action we were treated to Ember Moon's debut and a live violin performance of Nakamura's theme.

SummerSlam...SummerSlam [insert too long of a show joke here] 

How was the match between AJ Styles and John Cena? (Hint: phenomenal) Plus we saw the crowning (albeit briefly, sadly) of the first WWE Universal Champion and blood, lots of it actually, in a bummer of a main event.

In Episode 14 Sara and CJ discuss WrestleMania 11. Did WWE/F take a step back after WM 10 or did they keep improving? Can an NFL player defeat at pro wrestler and should he? Plus we see a strong celebrity presence return, just who would they be?

In part two we take a look at the historically significant feud between Tiger Mask and Dynamite Kid. How many times did they wrestle and what's all the fuss about?
