In the second part of the Win Twice trip to Amarillo, Texas, the co-hosts pay a visit to Terry Funk's Wrestlefest, a show put together to honour the contributions to professional wrestling of the perpetually middle aged and crazy one. Does the show do the legend the justice he merits when all was said and done?
Ahead of the co-hosts review of Terry Funk Presents Wrestlepalooza, it seemed appropriate to pay homage to the man himself. A legend in every respect, Funk blazed a trail through this industry in a way that set him apart from his contemporaries. With Holly being unfamiliar with the body of his work, how will she feel once this episode is in the books?
To say that this show was unlike any the co-hosts had put up for review up to this point would be a colossal understatement. Yes it is an episode of WWF Superstars but the venue just so happens to be the USS Intrepid and the entirety of the even revolves around one very specific challenge. Buckle up everyone!
A first for the co-hosts as they take a trip back to 1991 to explore the aftermath of the Savage/Miss Elizabeth wedding reception on an episode of WWF Superstars. Always pleasing to see Macho Man in all of his pomp, but the wedding cake was far from the only thing in tiers when all was said and done.
The co-hosts return to their journey through the NXT Takeovers with R:Evolution. So far the Takeover shows have delivered with respect to entertainment value and this iteration would hold even higher standards given the emerging talent on showcase.
The second of half of Wrestlemania 20 saw the co-hosts dive into the real meat and potatoes of the event, with a number of key matches to cover. Does the main event of 20 go down as one of, if not, THE greatest main events in the history of the Showcase of the Immortals, or would future events irreparably tarnish the final scenes?
After what feels like an eternity, the co-hosts are back on the March through the Manias and perhaps fittingly it is back to "where it all begins again". A massive Wrestlemania card littered with stars up and down the booking sheet. Not only that, perhaps one of, if not THE greatest Wrestlemania main events in history. A well trodden path for one of the co-hosts, but this is Holly's first exposure to the full event.
With the passing or arguably the biggest star in professional wrestling history, the co-hosts take a break out of their normally scheduled programming to take a view of the the man known to fans around the world as Hulk Hogan. Love him or hate him, he will forever be associated with the industry of professional wrestling.
The co-hosts return to the WWE Performance Centre for the second edition of WWE Evolve. With Holly on the hunt for a shorter show to get stuck into and having enjoyed the first episode more than she had anticipated, this made for an easy choice. Would Evolve continue to build upon their first offering?
An unaired pilot from the WCW archives recently surfaced on YouTube named Festival De Lucha. Given the co-hosts are always open to viewing a wide spectrum of wrestling forms, this seemed like a good opportunity to dip their toes into the Lucha Libre pool. Both Scott and Holly enjoy cruiserweight wrestling so who would have thought this show would have been received like a turd in the punchbowl.
A show that has long been overdue for the Win Twice treatment. Summerslam '92 for a lot of wrestling fans growing up in the United Kingdom in the early 90's was a touchstone event. A moment that signified the importance of the UK fans in the eyes of the Federation. This was an iconic show in the annals of British wrestling history. Wembley Stadium, London. Let the show begin!

Staying with the Saturday Night's Main Event theme, this edition sees the co-hosts treated to a Bavarian festival, with Wieners and Schnitzels for all. Arguably the most fun outside of the ring shenanigans in any show that has been reviewed thus far on the podcast. Fortunate really as the in-ring portion was not pulling its weight.
For Episode 74, the co-hosts head back to Saturday Night's Main Event; a show where the headline attraction was Hulk Hogan defending his WWF title against the Big Bossman inside the classic blue cage. Given the pair have let the co-hosts down in the past, surely this one had to be better, right?
It is rare that Holly offers a specific show up for review, but when she does, you had better believe Jeff Hardy is involved! This week, the co-hosts head back sixteen years to Night of Champions. A show where every title is on the line, would it deliver gold throughout?
The co-hosts return to the early iterations of the In Your House PPV branded vehicular activity. The headline attraction on this night saw all of the WWF titles on the line in a single match. I wonder which side Holly will be rooting for in this one. That is before we even mention the likes of Razor Ramon making a long awaited turn to the podcast!
The co-hosts head back to 1986 and more specifically to the highest attended professional wrestling show of all time to that point (excluding a couple of Jim Londis exhibitions). The Big Event was very much that in terms of scale. Would the in-ring action also deliver?
The co-hosts return to the black and gold brand of NXT for episode number 70 as we head back to 2014's Takeover Fatal 4 Way. The Takeover shows so far have delivered on quality (mostly) and hopes were high that this trend would continue.
For episode 69, the co-hosts partake in a real treat for two as Earl's Court plays host to the 2000 iteration of Insurrextion. An Attitude Era show in the UK, in theory would be one that would offer numerous points of discussion with the potential for many laughs. In that regard the show did not disappoint!
For this episode the co-hosts head back to the good ol' NWA and their attempts to hamper the potential numbers of viewers for Wrestlemania 4 with the TBS broadcast of Clash Of The Champions. This was a retaliatory measure after the intentional damage caused by Vinny Mac and the WWF who had previously scheduled Survivor Series to clash with Starrcade.
