    Series 2 - Episode 35 - Bash at the Beach 2000
    The legend of Bash at the Beach has lived on for almost a quarter century. A pay per view which perfectly captures a moment in time, and arguably the very moment WCW stopped being competition for WWF. Mid 2000s WCW was a mixed up mess, a power struggle behind the scenes which would play out in front of the very eyes of fans. Hogan, Russo and Bischoff would all implode, and it would end in a pay per view that has three different World Champions. We look back at the entire pay per view which deserves a deep dive as trust us, there is way more than Russo's rant worth discussing on this show! We then reimagine what could have happened to sort this entire mess out if Hulk Hogan ever stepped foot back in a WCW ring! So grab a microphone and scream at the creative here!

    Series 2 - Episode 34 - Super Showdown 2019
    When you mention the streak in wrestling, there is two trails of thought. The legendary Wrestlemania streak of the phenom, 21 straight wins at wrestlemania, a feat unlikely to ever be matched. Or you could be talking about Goldbergs unbeaten streak, 173 wins unbroken! Two huge legends, and in Saudi Arabia, 2019, these two streaks would clash! Legends would rise! A match that has now created a legend of its own for all the wrong reasons, we head back 5 years to check out Super Showdown 2019. A show remembered for its main event, but worthy of so much more. HHH would fight his last bout, Mansoor would have his biggest win and Lars Sullivan would struggle to beat 3 luchadores in his debut squash match! This truly is a Legend of a Show!

    Series 2 - Episode 33 - TNA Slammiversary 2017
    By 2017, TNA had gone through a lot of changes, and Slammiversary 2017 would bid farewell to the TNA brand entirely for a while, soon to be replaced by GFW, Global Force Wrestling led by....Jeff Jarrett! This show features some of the old of TNA, and some of the new faces. Lashley versus Alberto see's out the ppv but before that we are treated to the birth of a new comedy double act! Matthews and Steiner, move over Ant and Dec!
    As we always say though for all the good...remember you are still TNA...for the moment at least! Who is creative these days? Somebody had better call them!

    After the success of the Attitude Era what the WWE needed most was breakthrough stars. The new Rock, the new Austin, they neded someone with Ruthless Aggression!

    We are dusting off the Wrestlecup to decide which gimmick was the Worst of the Ruthless Aggression era!

    It's Sam's Birthday Podcast and the choice was his. In true Sam style we get a swerve Russo would be proud of as he has chosen a JCW show! Legends and Icons!

    Roddy Piper v Terry Funk
    Greg Valentine v Tito Santana in a cage...sounds great...but this was in 2011!
    We may have foud the very worst wrestling show ever to be peddled out, and all this happened at 3am in front of drunk Juggalos!

    Season 2 - Episode 31 - The Death of Mr McMahon
    WWE in 2007 was not in the best shape, with the creation of new stars waining, and reliance on old acts like DX, Undertaker and Kane and the new ECW brand not hitting the mark there was an air of desperation. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and like an ailing soap opra, the best way to boost interest, is a death! Only one character was big enough to be killed off...Mr McMahon! A bewildered broken Mr McMahon would take his final step into his limo only to be blown to high heaven! However...sometimes life has a funny way of imitating art, and a few weeks later, a real life series of deaths would scupper the plans and bring it to a halt never to be discussed again...well..until now! We re-examine and reimagine what this storyline could have become! Rest in Peace Mr McMahon, we hardly knew ya!

    Series 2 Episode 28 - ECW Hardcore Heaven 1999
    In 99 it is fair to say WWF had a stranglehold back on wrestling. It had fought away its nearest rival in WCW and was dominating the wrestling landscape. However, as ever, there was the third promotion, the cult rival to the big boys, who were chugging along and desperately trying to find its way with limited resources. By Mid 1999 gone were Raven and Sandman, both now in rival WCW, however there was a shock arrival in the land of extreme, the ruler of the world...SID! Better Call Creative love Sid so we are heading to ECW Hardcore Heaven 1999 to review his only ppv match and fantasy book what the land of extreme could have been if Sid had stayed around!

    Season 2 - Episode 29 - The Death of the AWA
    May 13 2024
    Series 2 - Episode 27 - The Death of the AWA
    In the early 80s, the AWA was the place to be. A talented roster that featured the future hall of famers of wrestling like Hogan, Hennig, Heenan and Bockwinkle, the promotion wasn't prepared for the aggressive expansion of Vince McMahon and the WWF. By the end of the decade, anyone with any star power had been snapped up by McMahon and taken to all new heights, and the AWA were left on the verge of bankruptcy and with a thin roster loyal to the Gagne's or of castaways unwanted by the WWF. In desperate efforts to fight their demise, the AWA tried a few different things, a new Team Challenge Series in front of green screen fans, as well as a show solely to put over Kellogg's in their fight with the General Mills! A bad corperate away to say the least but we can not let the AWA die without enjoying their demise and reviewing some of the strangest wrestling shows you are ever likely to see! We are Mad as hell and we are not gonna take it anymore, SOMEBODY HAS TO CALL CREATIVE!!
