Raw Is Nitro Podcast

WWF Final 4 with a huge 4 man main event for the WWF title. No WCW PPV available online currently so enjoy the look back the WWF's final PPV before Wrestlemania 13.

Duncan from TNW Podcast is back to talk some 2004 goodness with me. A Big Show handicap match, a spectacular cage walk (different matches obviously) and the end is near for JBL. Cookie gate, 3LK, Daniel Puder, it's all here.

Sid is calling out Jack Tunney for being BOGUS and Hulk is doing Hulk things. Rick Rude and Steve Austin team up and the Rapmaster drops and insane diss track. Tune in for more.

We jump back a few weeks on the timeline to check in with NWO Souled Out thanks to the WCW Youtube channel's recent upload. Ever seen someone in every match on a PPV? How about a ring announcer from the back over the PA? Faces with no music? These ideas all seemed good at the time I assume.

Thursday Raw Thursday vs Nitro Monday Nitro. Let's get it on like Marbvin Gaye.

Piper and Hogan wind back the clock. Bret and Shawn get confrontational and DDP and Stone Cold continue up the card. Check out the 1st 2 hour head to head and enjoy.

Jan 1997 comes to a close with the final pair of shows and we march towards the Final 4 and a Roddy Piper/Hulk Hogan rematch. A referee gets fired, Kevin Sullivan is too sexy for the women to resist and Owen Hart wears a green tracksuit. What's not to love?

Duncan and I check out the first ever monthly PPV battle between TNA and WWE. We see WWE working towards making two new stars, the heaviest breathing promo of all time and a women's blood bath. TNA hits the gauntlet, pulls out the ladder and has an election. Some quality wrestling along the way too. Have fun.

Richie and I take on Thunder from down under and enjoy the first Australian based show on our little journey. A million segments, a stolen gimmick match and naughty Hacksaw all make appearances.

Survivor Series 1993, full of surprises some good, others not so great. A fun ppv look back to a simpler time. Enjoy.

Raw vs Nitro Jan 20 1997 by Lee Carlos Cunningham

We get to the ppv portion of January 1997 but only have one show readily available. Better off reviewing what we have than nothing so here we are and with that wonderful sell job enjoy the show.

Richie and I go back to my home town and watch Davey Boy get the love. Pre Diesel, Pre Mero, Pre Raven and even the Stinger are here. Do Manchester like WCW better than the WWF? We ask that too and half time sees us debate managerial prowess. Check it out.

DDP turns the wrestling world on it's head and we look at who does the best vertical suplex in wrestling. We see Undertaker, Sting, Hogan, Bulldog, Bret and many more. Lex is on fire, 4 Horesemen are close to exploding and it's fun.

Duncan from TNW podcast joins me again to review some classic TNA. Pre Hogan, but he's all over the show. It's the end of one era with a bang as AJ, Daniels, Joe and others show why TNA was such a viable alternative. Go back in time to just before our original Monday night war part 2 timeline and see if TNA was better off before they crossed the line to go head to head.

A tough man match of sorts on Raw and Sting whispers into the Giant's ear on Nitro. Who would miss this?

It's the Highway to hell but on the way we must ride through Sturgis. Peak Austin vs Goldberg for who was the dominant bald headed star. NWO or DX? Sting or the Undertaker, you really had to be there. Thankfully I was and I went back to do it again.

Long lost episode!! This show was recorded a little earlier in the year and I just this week realized it failed to upload. 2 PPV's I owned as a teenager were very fun to go back and review. Hope you enjoy listening.

Richie and I review an all time DMOTW. A hasbro goes down pants, JR gets a slapper. Vince thinks it's groovy and I wish Vinne Jones would knock them all out. Owen and Vader put on a clinic and Tiger Ali Singh does some stuff. Check it out fine people.

We head back to the 80's on a nostalgia trip. See Flair and Steamboat build to one of their classics. On the other side we see some of the seeds of an all time classic as well as the Mega Powers bubble towards explosion. Andre and Jake continue their feud, Ax takes on Smash, maskless jobbers get plenty of offense and somehow the super pose down is still going. Enjoy.
