Join Conrad and Tony and special idiot...er...guest Casio Kid as they relive the moments from 2000 when Hulk Hogan, Jeff Jarrett and Vince Russo were part of one of the most famous moments in WCW lore. But before we get there, you have to suffer through a "Wedding Dress Match" and a "Graveyard Match" and plenty other silliness. It's the last Bash at the Beach, and as you will hear, for good reason.

Here it is gang! Goldberg vs Hulk Hogan at the Georgia Dome in front of an announced crowd of 39,919 on July 6, 1998. It was the beginning of the Goldberg WCW World Title reign and the night of memorable moments like.....uh.....like Tokyo Magnum dancing with Alex Wright and the Disco Inferno, Tony's chair being VERY high and STIIIINNNNGGGG with a red tomato face. How did it all go so wrong for WCW after this? The world wants to know... Support us on Patreon, get this show early and ad...

As Jim Crockett Promotions headed to the Great American Bash 1988, they were pulling out all the stops (good and bad) to set up Ric Flair vs. Lex Luger for the NWA World Heavyweight Title at the Baltimore Arena. It would be the final year of JCP, as within six months they would sell to Turner Broadcasting. Join Conrad and Tony as they go back and look at the one hour version of World Championship Wrestling "Saturday Edition" with Jim Ross, Tony and David Crockett on the mic and a SPAM...

Join Conrad and Tony as they watch World Championship Wrestling's June 13, 1987 Episode. It was only one hour on TBS that week, but it was loaded with great interviews and action. Watch Dusty Rhodes and Tully Blanchard battle for the NWA World TV Title featuring a post match interview with TOMMY YOUNG!! and the first public appearance of Magnum TA since his tragic car accident of October of 1986.

Brad Armstrong is in the opener against Barry Windham, Sting & Dusty team up against the Horsemen on top, and along the way we see Lex Luger get ambushed and left a bloody mess. The silliness that was the triple cage concept can't be topped with the original sketch bit this week either. Oh and Flair signs a contract on a big boat. This JCP just a few months before their big boat hit an iceberg. Don't miss Clash of the Champions II! Hey, is that a skeeter? Please go to...

Ric Flair vs. Dusty Rhodes, a Rock N Roll Express Dream Date contest, Jimmy Valiant in a hair feud, a Flair promo with the front row dressed in suits, Ole Anderson returning to attack Dusty and cut a legendary promo, Dusty responding with a promo that is out of this world, Magnum gets stripped of the US title, the James Gang is in town, multiple Jim Cornette promos -- lady and gentlemen, this is Jim Crockett Promotions at it's finest! Fire up the WWE Network and join Tony Schiavone and...

If you had to trace the "boom" in popularity in professional wrestling in the late 90s back to a single point, it was the May 27, 1996, Monday Nitro when Scott Hall showed up on Nitro and started what would become the hottest angle in history, the nWo. This was the first ever two hour Nitro, plus Steve Doll vs. the Mauler, Bobby Walker vs. Brad Armstrong, a hilarious new moment in the show for the American Males, a Ric Flair promo even Meltzer was embarrassed by, a tremendously awful angle...

Slamboree '93 was the Legends Reunion and there has never been a show like this before... thankfully! Tony loved it but Conrad maybe not so much. WCW is hitting the panic button based on poor houses and they're doubling down on nostalgia. If you haven't actually watched a show along with us in a while, this is the one! WCW production is at it's all-time worst here. Seriously, it's so bad you have to see it for yourself. Scott Norton refused to lose to Sting so they brought in... the...

Ole Anderson has taken over for the booking committee, Tony Schiavone is back from the WWF, Terry Funk quit, the Road Warriors are leaving for the WWF, Luger gets one more shot at the World Title, but who we really need to get over is... Robocop! Yes, Robocop in WCW is finally the topic for Tony and Conrad to discuss! It's hard to believe that Mark Callous is just six months away from being the Undertaker. Find out who quit the promotion over refusing to lose to his heart punch, oddly...

Tony and Conrad break down WHAT HAPPENED WHEN WCW finally started to trail the WWF in the ratings. Kevin Greene, Dennis Rodman, bringing Flair back, signing the Ultimate Warrior, and even challenging Vince McMahon to a fight?! What wouldn't WCW try to get things back on track. Business is through the roof but more than 30 guys are out with injuries and Bischoff is feeling desperate. We break down the "Vinnie Mac" challenge in silly detail, discuss the sleeper story of 1998 with a front...

Tony and Conrad are joined by Casio Kid once again for a hilarious watch-along of WCW Saturday Night from May 9, 1992! This is when WCW was "trying things" like a celebrity guest host in Alabama's Randy Owen, plus we learn that Ricky Steamboat has been cheating (?!), hear from Vinnie Vegas, Nikita is in action, and much more on an off-the-rails edition of WHAT HAPPENED WHEN?!

E-C-W! E-C-W! E-C-W! Tony has NEVER seen Extreme Championship Wrestling until now! Conrad doesn't tell him who anyone is and Tony just freestyles who everyone is and why they're here. You don't want to miss this off-the-rails silliness that includes a "run-in" from Bruce Prichard, a very special "WrestleMania" guest, a custom "extreme" theme song, more on Tony's tattoo, a hilarious Terry Funk line, Tony's favorite Japanese wrestler, you won't believe who Saturn's partner is, Tony loses his...

Spring Stampede 1997 was the night Randy Savage "made" Diamond Dallas Page and the night that Booker T gave what is perhaps the most infamous interview in WCW history! Plus a four way match that's really just a tag match, Scott Hall is nowhere to be found, the tag titles are on the line in a singles match, Tony has no idea who "he" is, several WCW wrestlers were in a serious car wreck, Benoit and Malenko squared off, Mysterio and Ultimo had their rubber match, Flair cuts a promo, and of...

Tony's not leaving! But we are covering an NWA show from when Tony DID leave, it's Part II of the Flair-Steamboat Trilogy from 1989! This was the Clash of the Champions from the Superdome in New Orleans that went head-to-head from WrestleMania V! The main event is the rematch from Chi-Town Rumble in Chicago two months prior. This time Ricky Steamboat is the champion and he's defending against the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair in a 2-Out-Of-3 Falls Match that goes nearly an hour. Tony and Conrad...

Well, this is it! The big day for the Schiavone Family is finally here, Tony's only daughter is getting married! But does this mean the end of WHAT HAPPENED WHEN? Join Conrad as he makes the trek from Huntsville to Marietta in attempt to get Tony to change his mind and keep the podcast going! Today's episode includes Tony Schiavone's speech from the wedding reception plus special appearances from the bride Laurie, Matt, Chris, Jon Michael, Tim, and of course the true star of WHW: LOIS f'n...

As our beloved show comes to it's supposed eventual end, Conrad and Tony are in rare form again as they cover Uncensored 96; featuring the The Alliance to end Hulkamania vs. Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, the former MegaPowers in a triple cage of doom or some such nonsense. Widely panned as one of the worst PPV's of all time, let us not forget the importance of the Main Event, which pitted the aforementioned Mega Powers vs. Ric Flair, Double A, Brian Pillman (kinda), Kevin Sullivan, The...

Conrad and Tony are back with one of their most outrageous watch alongs yet, as the countdown continues toward the end of our beloved institution. It's 1997 in WCW so things are coming to a peak in the most exciting way, and yet, terrible things are happening everywhere. Watch with the guys as they wax poetic on Prince Iaukea, High Voltage, Jim Powers, Mike jones, a drug dealing empire, a potential phony's bachelor party, and Hard Body Harrison. There are laughs galore, and we will enjoy...

Because of the upcoming wedding, there are only a few shows left, and in this one, Tony and Conrad talk about Uncensored 1997 in one of our most hilarious shows yet. Mortal Kombat talk (and singing), american males talk (and singing), and much more outrageousness highlight what is yet another water mark as one of the best shows in podcasting history reaches it's conclusion. Then there the event: Prince Iakaua, Glacier, and of course the triangle match between the NWO, team Piper (the...
