Oh boy. Justin and Michelle cover WCW SuperBrawl 1991, which includes one of the most "WTF" moments in wrestling history. Poor Kevin Nash. How his career took off after this, is beyond us. Not only did we get to see the Great and Powerful Oz (but he's not Oz? But he is?), but we also see a stretcher match, in which the stretcher isn't used in the match at all. Thank goodness we get the debut of SCOTT HALL to redeem this show for us! Man. This was a weird one. Enjoy!
Coming off of last weekend's WrestleMania 41, Justin & Michelle cannot get the "fein fein fein" off of their brains (unfortunately). They are, however, pleased to announce that the ending of this show was significantly better than the WrestleMania 41 ending! Along with that positive note, Bobby Heenan has finally joined commentary. In addition, we finally get the man that completes the Undertaker picture...Paul Bearer. This was a pretty controversial show, which caused a change of venue and... oh yeah! Hogan is still a heel.
1991 is starting off with a bang! The best show of the year, The Royal Rumble, is always a favorite with Justin and Michelle. However, this was kind of a weird show! Especially because Justin won't stop doing his cringey "neckbeard" voice. Gross. We DO get probably the best Royal Rumble entrance and exit (within about 5 seconds of each other) of all time in this show...thank you Bushwhacker Luke. Also, a mega heel wins the Rumble... we just didn't know it at the time.
Starrcade is typically a fan favorite (especially with Justin and Michelle). This year is a bit of an exception. It's a worldwide tag tournament, with some random non-tournament tag matches thrown in, a SHOCKING (ha), yet terrible reveal of the Black Scorpion and, according to Justin, shiny oatmeal?!
Oh man, we've made it! It's THAT time! The Gobbledy Gooker makes his first appearance on this special Thanksgiving show! That's not the only someone that makes their first appearance, but the Gobbledy Gooker isn't quite as legendary as... THE UNDERTAKER. Every thing is now right in the world. Lastly...for Pete's sake, keep politics out of wrestling!
Warning: This is a BIZARRE wrestling show to watch! Justin and Michelle discuss the Black Scorpion and his big magic trick that had JR speechless, the Phantom of the Microphone Tony Schiavone and the weirdest ending to a match that we've seen yet. To top it all off... this episode of RassleRecap ends SO hilariously, yet so perfectly for this particular show.
SURPRISE! It's a Monday and you're getting a new episode! Well, a mini episode! Michelle met her HERO, Sting, along with wrestling legend Mick Foley this weekend at Permian Basin Comic Con. She asked them a few questions that they probably don't get asked too often. Who does STING think was his most legendary rivalry? Who does he think could have played the Sting persona, if not him? Tune in and find out the answers!
Just when Michelle said she appreciates how the excessive backstage interviews have gone away, WWF SummerSlam 1990 happened! With many matches under 5 minutes, this show was an interesting one! Sweet Sapphire was kidnapped (or was she?), we get the debut of a famous Von Erich and Rick Rude cut off his mullet. Lastly, Psychosis also makes his WWF debut at SummerSlam, but oddly sounds like Sensational Sherri?
The Great American Bash is always a great show and 1990 is no exception! Although there is some pretty problematic gear on the Southern Boys, Justin & Michelle feel redeemed with Sting's classic American look. Vader arrives with a 2 minute squash match (poor Z-Man). Lastly, this is the last time we see Mean Mark as...not the Undertaker.
Regardless of what Justin thinks, WCW Capital Combat 1990 has an incredible appearance by THE RoboCop, as well as a return of the Junkyard Dog, Cornette in a cage, and another banger from Ric Flair and Lex Luger. What more could you ask for in 1990?! Well... maybe a little less guyliner on Tony Schiavone.
WWF WrestleMania 6 is a long one! 13 matches. However, 11 of them are less than 10 minutes long. Thankfully, Justin and Michelle wrap it all up into one hilarious hour (and a half) package for you! This is the last time we will have Jesse Ventura on commentary, which is devastating to Michelle. In addition, this is Andre's last time in the ring on pay-per-view. Hopefully, it's the last time we see Rhythm & Blues perform in the ring because...WOOF. Oh... and The Genius is still here.
Please excuse Justin's funky audio! We tried to clean it up as best as possible! This is a VERY exciting show, simply for the fact that we get our debut of not only Mean Mark Callous aka THE UNDERTAKER, but also, Cactus Jack Manson aka Mick Foley. Spoiler alert: Cactus Jack was... kind of hot? Along with that, JR talks a lot about education and seemingly predicts the future regarding Woman attacking Lex Luger. Join Justin and Michelle as they navigate this hella exciting show, with the best match between Lex Luger and Ric Flair yet!
Justin & Michelle turned that dial on the ol' time machine and have entered the greatest decade of all time, THE NINETIES!!! What better way to start it off than with the best show of the year (subject to opinion) the ROYAL RUMBLE? Along with some other great matches, we get the debut of Sapphire, a return of Brother LOVE and we say bye-bye to The Genius. Oh yeah... and Big Bossman is SWEATY.
Justin & Michelle review WCW Starrcade 1989. The two are feeling very nostalgic; referencing 3 Ninjas, Vegas Vacation and Luby's. #TheGreenSquare Although Starrcade 1989 has 2 round robin tournaments, there isn't a lack of excitement...because Jim Cornette is on commentary. Never a dull moment!
It's Thanksgiving, once again, at WWF Survivor Series 1988! Jesse Ventura is dressed like a pilgrim, Shawn Michaels has finally arrived and we see butts. Well, just one, since one was blurred out! Join Justin & Michelle as they laugh their way through these long, 10 to 20 man matches, and of course, discuss a much needed format change!
Justin & Michelle discuss the upcoming Vince McMahon documentary on Netflix, Bret Hart's appearance on Monday Night Raw, and the exploding popularity of The Outrunners in AEWQ Then, the brother/sister duo heads back to 1987 to talk about the inaugural SURIVOR SERIES, brought to us by the WWF.
Justin and Michelle are beyond thrilled with the arrival of Sting. The war continues to heat up between NWA and Vince McMahon...err WWF. With WWF premiering the inaugural Survivor Series on the SAME NIGHT as Starrcade 1987, how will the NWA hold up? Well, according to Justin and Michelle, pretty darn well!
After Justin and Michelle give their quick predictions of 2024 AEW All Out and NXT No Mercy, the brother/sister duo covers THE record breaking Wrestlemania that is considered to be the one that "put WWF on the map." With such a great show, what could be bad? Well... wait until you hear the latest @RassleStats count for this episode. Ah, the eighties.
Justin & Michelle give their predictions for WWE's upcoming "Bash in Berlin" before discussing NWA's Starrcade 1986. The competition between NWA and WWF is really heating up! Starrcade '86 may only be in two cities, but we get at LEAST 3 buttcracks! Not to mention, a whole rickety scaffold for Jim Cornette to fall from and break his knees. Yep. That happened.
Justin & Michelle give their predictions for 2024 AEW's All in before chatting about WWF WrestleMania 2. Will WWF be able to do it again? Will they have another great show? Will New Susan be better than Old Susan? All we know is, if Rowdy Roddy Piper said half the stuff he said on this show in 2024, he would be canceled.
