Episode 146: It’s the holiday season and ECW still doesn't have national TV but they're still putting on a PPV in New York City. The show has very barebones stories but a bunch of fun matches including a surprise jockswatch!
Episode 145: Mayhem and the election are over! Wait, scratch that second one but Nitro is headed towards Starrcade with a 5 second reveal of our next world title challenger. Plus, somehow Jeff Jarrett vs Rey Mysterio finds a way to disappoint, which I didn't know was possible.
Episode 144: We're at the second to last WCW PPV of the year 2000 and man, is everyone phoning it in. Get ready for a 12 match card that clearly couldn't cut such gems such as Mancow vs Jimmy Hart nor Bam Bam Bigelow vs a substitue opponent. Luckily our cruiserweiht boys are here to mildly save the day but this is a bleak show. Happy 5 year anniversary to us...
Episode 143: Kevin Nash has a mystery buddy and it’s totally going to be who they’ve been setting up for weeks. Goldberg’s story may be thrown out the window, there’s a PPV on Sunday and apparently Meng is going to eat someone.
Episode 142: Don't worry, we go light on the bad accents. Unfortunately the show is pretty business as usual, though we do get a London Lethal Lottery tournament for a world title shot. Naturally that means the particpants include the current champion, number one contender and Kronik
Episode 141: We're headed towards Mayhem with honestly a pretty decent show. While nothing is all that good, nothng made us want to quit watching. So I guess that's a win, Plus one of the biggest "Weather Reports" of all time. Is that important? Ehh...
Episode 140: We're winding down the clock on ECW with a PPV full of surprises and changes. Perhaps the only consistent elements are us loving Tajiri and hating New Jack.
Episode 139: At Halloween Havoc Mike Sanders became sole commisioner, so of course tonight we have a new CEO revealed. General Hugh G Rection gets a massive celebration for some reason and David Flair reveals whether Buff Bagwell is indeed the father.Note: We have a lengthy chat about Hulk Hogan, Summerslam 2025 and modern wrestling discourse at the start. If you'd rather go right into the episode, skip to 13:39
Episode 138: We're officially 2 years into WCW and WCW decided to give us another helping of hot garbage. Get ready for an abismal 11 match card that peaks in quality with the first match and then goes insane by match 9. Plus Goldberg might not be able to compete so we have to buy time for him, resulting in a Kronik main event.
Episode 137: We're 6 days from Halloween Havoc and Scott Steiner has brought a live tiger to the ring. If that doesn't say how off the rails we are, nothing will.
Episode 136: We're still in Australia and WCW is still not trying to do anything special. The most continuity on this show we get is seeing Kevin Nash hungover and finding out he did a brewery tour before.
Episode 135: Vince Russo is gone and now we're on the other side of the globe. Somehow this has resulted in two Stings and big house show energy.
Episode 134: Days before TNN cancels ECW, they put on Anarchy Rulz, which has a lot more ref distractions than you'd think for a show of that name. Luckily, this show also has Tajiri on it so we can only complain so much.
1Episode 133: It's the final Vince Russo WCW Nitro and he goes out swinging with more poles than you can imagine and a final kidnapping, for old time's sake.
Episode 132: Yes, it's the episode where Vince Russo wins the title (kinda). Would it shock you to learn that's not the worst part of the show?
Episode 131: We're back in Canada for all the fallout from Fall Brawl, so let's introduce a new member of Team Canada and heel on Goldberg, that'll totally get the desired reaction. Plus see Tygress absolutely dominate the Natrual Born Thillers it somehow takes Kevin Nash out of the world title picture.
It's WWE's biggest show of 2025 and man... It's a show. John Cena has turned heel, CM Punk gets his Wrestlemania main event, Triple H tries to be the biggest deal and we wait and see if the Rock decided to show up.
Episode 130: We have one of the best WCW PPVs of 2000 but that is quite the low bar. Mean Gene isn't here to make friends. Goldberg and Steiner are here to beat the crap out of each other. Jim Duggan is here despite being retired and for some reason Gary Coleman is here to... be here, I guess.
Episode 129: We have a wedding and a plethora of other nonsense. What other nonsense could there be? How about "brain surgery" and the same swerve for the third week in a row. Plus, we get a special gimmick match that rivals the fabled Nigerian Drum Match!
Episode 128: Tonight we get Vince Russo's version of War Games. It's a terrible mess before you even get to the fact that half the people announced for the match actaully have to qualify.
