1/21/2026
On this episode of What Happened When, the voice of our childhood Tony Schiavone and host Conrad Thompson take us back 40 years for a true NWA/Jim Crockett Promotions classic. A major shift is underway as the National Tag Team Championships are officially rebranded into the United States Tag Team Championships, with Jim Crockett Promotions devoting much of the program to hyping a one-night tournament at the Omni to crown the very first champions. There's no shortage of action and intrigue elsewhere on the card. Wahoo McDaniel captures the National Heavyweight Championship by defeating Tully Blanchard at the Forum in Los Angeles.

Episode 467: DX Invades WCW REMIX- RAW 04.27.98

12/31/2025
On this special REMIX episode of What Happened When, Tony Schiavone and Conrad Thompson sit down together to watch WWF Monday Night RAW from April 27, 1998—and for Tony, it's a first-time viewing of one of the most infamous moments of the Monday Night War. The focus? D-Generation X and their audacious, real-world invasion of World Championship Wrestling. As the episode unfolds, Tony reacts in real time to seeing Triple H, X-Pac, and the New Age Outlaws roll up to WCW's doorstep, cameras rolling, lines blurring between storyline and reality. From the perspective of a man who was insideWCW when it happened, Tony offers candid, unfiltered insight into what the locker room likely thought, how management viewed the stunt, and why this moment symbolized WWF's growing confidence in 1998. Conrad guides the conversation with context—breaking down where WWF stood creatively, why this episode of Monday Night Raw felt so dangerous and unpredictable, and how DX's fourth-wall-breaking antics represented a turning point in the war for wrestling fans' attention. Expect laughs, disbelief, and plenty of "I can't believe they did that" moments as Tony processes the invasion not as a rival executive, but as a fan watching history unfold. The duo also discusses how this single segment changed perceptions, raised the stakes, and helped redefine what competition looked like in professional wrestling. It's a rare, behind-the-curtain look at the DX invasion—told by the voice of WCW himself—on an episode that proves just how wild, bold, and real the Monday Night Wars had become.
