What Happened When

We go back to your childhood once again, and this time we stop at an historic moment in pro wrestling. It was on this show that Owen Hart's piledriver injured Stone Cold Steve Austin's neck and changed things quite a bit. But there is more! HHH vs Mankind in a cage, Ken Shamrock vs the British Bulldog, Gold Dust against Brian Pillman and Bret Hart meeting the Undertaker. Dave Meltzer did not really care for this show, but you know what we say about that. Because WE did. Enjoy SummerSlam from New Jersey and from 1997!!!

Okay, so then there is this. The infamous episode of TNA where Jeff Jarrett comes to the ring with a "little person" in a sack. Beats him up and then ANOTHER little person named "Puppet" arrives and pulls a gun on Jarrett. Got it. Wait. WHAT? It's all here from 2002. And even AJ Styles vs Elix Skipper could not save this show. And you think WCW was bad? Well, it was, but maybe not THIS bad.

So this was NWA-TNA in 2002, huh? Yeah, it was bad. Oh, it had some great moments: like Low Ki vs AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels and Elix Skipper vs The Flying Elvises, but most it sucked. From a "little person" doing some "questionable things" in a trash can, to Francine and Jasmine fighting in a shower, this was known more for its sex than its wrestling.

Lot of crazy stuff in this one, kids. Complete with a disturbance from members of Xtreme Pro Wrestling, the event from the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles, had very memorable moments. From the Jerry Lynn-Steve Carino bloodbath, to Justin Credible against Tommy Dreamer, to a very exciting six-man tag match to RVD vs Scotty Anton, this night had something for everyone. This final ECW produced pay per view was in front of a raucous Los Angeles crowd that made for a fine evening. And let's not forget about Francine !!

The same night WCW had Goldberg vs Hollywood Hogan for the World title on Nitro, the WWE countered with a taped show from State College, PA. It wasn't the best show, but the story lines were good enough to make it an excellent show. With the Undertaker, Stone Cold, Mankind, D-Lo Brown, Terry Funk, Vader, Bradshaw, Val Venis, Dustin Runnels, D-Generation X, Ken Shamrock, Savio Vega, Road Warrior Hawk and Mabel, it had plenty of star power. But unfortunately, it has had a couple of matches from Brawl 4 All. (ugh) Conrad watches as Tony looks on for the very first time at Raw from July 6, 1998.

It's WCW at its very worst! Welcome to the Great American Bash 2000. It was the final GAB from WCW and it was the night Goldberg turned heel and business REALLY went down the toilet. Even though there were other such big names as Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner, Rick Steiner, DDP and Sting, there was no stopping the WCW-to-Out of Business train.

All your favorites are here: Joey Styles, Rob Van Dam, the Dudley Boyz, Shane Douglas, Raven, Tommy Dreamer, Francine, Joel Gertner, Beulah McGillicutty, Sabu, the Sandman, Tazz and Jerry Lawler!

Conrad and Tony will watch two episodes of ECW Hardcore TV from June of 1997; June 10 and June 17. It is two shows full of great action and awesome interviews.

One of the most iconic Monday Nitros ever. Loaded with talent and backstage politics, this event, from Boston was, in a nutshell what WCW was all about, and why WCW went crumbling down. The lineup was spectacular. Hulk Hogan, the Macho Man, Ric Flair, Roddy Piper, Lex Luger, DDP, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, the Steiners, Harlem Heat, Dean Malenko, Chris Jericho, a six man cruiserweight event...and more! But as Conrad and Tony explain, there was plenty of behind-the-scenes turmoil that hastened the demise of WCW and muddled up the finish of the main event. Oh, and look up in the rafters: IT'S STINNNNNGGGGGGG!!!!!!!! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Here's the link on Impact Plus for the watch-a-long: https://www.impactplus.tv/details/_6003449127001 It's the first edition ever of IMPACT as it aired on FSN on June of 2004. With such established stars as Shane Douglas, Dusty Rhodes and Jeff Jarrett, the show had plenty of star power. And with such performers as Elix Skipper, Amazing Red, AJ Styles, Kid Cash, Frankie Kazarian, Bobby Roode and Abyss, the future looked bright for the promotion. Well, 16 years later, the promotion is still in business. And that actually says a lot.

Note: The link to watch along this TNA Show on Impact Plus is: https://impactplus.tv/details/_6003448649001 In January 29, 2003, Tony Schiavone made his first and only appearance in TNA. He arrived on the wishes of his friend, Vince Russo, and turned heel on Mike Tenay. It was a show loaded with talent: AJ Styles, the Rock and Roll Express, Raven, Jeff Jarrett, Amazing Red, Larry Zbyszko, Chris Harris, James Storm, Sonny Siaki, Jerry Lynn, David Flair and Kid Kash. After the show, Schiavone left the business and was not heard from again until Conrad Thompson came into his life in 2017. Listen in as Tony watches the entire show for the very first time and tells Conrad the reasons why he walked away from the business and went another direction in his career.

This episode of Nitro was known as the funeral for Ric Flair, but it was also a funeral for WCW. The promotion was certainly a "Coffin on Roller Skates" at this point in its history. Actually, it was chocked full of WCW stars, but there was just TOO MUCH GOING ON. You needed a scorecard and Ritalin just to keep up with everything. From a lovers spat between Billy Kidman and Torrie, to Booker T. getting fired, to the funeral, to the Norman and Ralphus car wash, to Terry Funk's non-announcement, to Kanyon's injury...whew! Were there matches scheduled? Uh, we think so. Hogan, Scott Steiner, Vampiro, Kevin Nash and Jeff Jarrett and more were scheduled to be in action. Did they actually have matches? We can't remember.

If you were looking for a bad show to watch-along with Conrad and Tony then this is not it. This is actually one of the better wrestling show you will see. Featuring HHH against Ric Flair in a match and storyline that weaved nicely through the show. Plus, a great performance by Stone Cold Steve Austin on the mic helps make this an unforgettable event. Also featuring Chris Jericho, Kevin Nash, Christian, RVD, Eric Bischoff, Goldberg, Lance Storm, Scott Steiner, Shawn Michaels, Kane, Test, the Dudleys, Spike Dudley, Rodney Mack, Teddy Long, Stacy Keibler, and La Resistance.

Conrad and Tony take you back to the Marietta (GA) Civic Center to May 3, 1998 and one of the most panned ECW Pay Per View broadcasts ever. From Bam Bam Bigelow having to work with New Jack, who had knocked himself out cold, to the terrible stunt show from Sabu and RVD, to the messed up finish between Al Snow and Shane Douglas, this one was a stinker. But at least there were the likes of Francine, Taz (a cameo only), Tommy Dreamer, Chris Candido, Lance Storm and Justin Credible. Other than that this one was a May to Forget for ECW.

It was 2006 and Vince McMahon ruled the (wrestling) world. What else was he was he to do? Enter the grand idea of winning a tag match against God. Yes, this will go down as one of the most absurd event ever cooked up by the the WWE, but hey, no competition and a group of lousy writers, why not give it a shot. So enjoy Mr. McMahon feeding loaves of bread and fish to the masses, changing water into wine and fondling Candice Michelle (really bad). And while you are at it, enjoy Big Show against Kane with a bizarre ending. Oh, also there is a very, very good three way match for the WWE title between HHH, Edge and John Cena. A show that was apply named. There was plenty of Backlash for this one.

The momentum was starting to turn in the Monday Night Wars and this WM was a perfect indication as to why. DX and the "Attitude Era" was just getting started and Stone Cold Steve Austin would finally become the champ, leading to one of most unprecedented runs in WWE(F) history. But wait! There's more!

Certainly a pay per view featuring Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Sting, Lex Luger and Sid Vicious has to be good, right? Wrong. The year 2000 was one to forget for WCW as in about a year the company would go "belly up." But still, you're invited to join Conrad and Tony for a look at a Bullrope Match, a Yappapi Indian Strap Match and the worst Lumberjack Match ever to take place in pro wrestling.

ECW was on the decline and not too far away from being swallowed up by big bad WWE. As usual, the gang pulled out all the stops in this one, including a horrible injury to New Jack. But even the work of Mike Awesome, Masato Tanaka, Tommy Dreamer, Raven, Justin Credible, Steve Corino and even the American Dream Dusty Rhodes could not pull this one up by the bootstraps. Enjoy the third and final ECW Living Dangerously and without Taz, RVD (except a run in at the end), and Shane Douglas something seemed off.

A large crowd gathered in Milwaukee in March of 2017 for a WWE event that received less-than-positive reviews. However, upon second look, the show was actually pretty good. It featured Samoa Joe, Sami Zayne, Cesaro, Braun Strowman, Charlotte Flair against Bailey, Goldberg vs Kevin Owens (all 22 seconds worth) and a classic match between The Bastard Pac (then known as Neville) and Jack Gallagher.

Welcome to the final year of WCW! As you can tell from what we are getting ready to watch, the end could not come fast enough. One month after Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit and Perry Saturn walked out the door, World Championship Wrestling tried to keep the in-ring product exciting; but with Lash LeRoux and The Artist Formerly Known as Prince Iaukea battling for the Cruiserweight title, it was just not the same. They did try to rekindle the Ric Flair-Terry Funk magic from 1989 and had a couple of surprising appearances, but it all fell flat. Join Conrad and Tony to a journey back to Y2K.

Was this the best angle ever in wrestling? Many feel so. The Hebners as double-referees. Andre the Giant beating Hulk Hogan. The selling of the belt to the Million Dollar Man. The subsequent stripping of the world title and the following tournament to decide a new WWF Champ. But there is also the Macho Man against the Honky Tonk Man, and, if you look quickly, Strike Force against the Hart Foundation.

As we begin out fourth season of What Happened When, it's time to take a look back at Tony's first exposure to ECW. Keep in mind he never watched it back in the day and probably was one of those WCW snobs who frowned up "extreme" wrestling. But he quickly fell in love. We are going back in time at some of the great moments of Tony and Conrad watching ECW over the past three seasons. We thought it would just be right to begin a new season with this look back (that, and the fact that Conrad was too drunk to record on Super Bowl Sunday). Enjoy Tony Loves Extreme!

In the aftermath of the shocking death of his friend Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio posted a emotionally filled, maybe surprising win at the 2006 Royal Rumble in Miami. It was a show filled with plenty of gorgeous women fawning all over Mr. McMahon, but in the ring plenty of action as well as Kurt Angle met Mark Henry, Edge collided with John Cena and 30 stars met to see who would go on for a world title shot at WrestleMania (or so we thought).

With apologies to Saudi Arabia, the Greatest Royal Rumble may have been back in 1992. The world title was vacant and the winner of this event would be crowned the new champ. It was an event loaded with superstars such as Jake The Snake Roberts, Macho Man Randy Savage, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Sid Justice, the Road Warriors, Owen Hart, Jim The Anvil Neidhart, the Bushwackers and many, many more. Overall business may have been down, but it was a great time to be a WWF fan (just ask 10 year old Conrad Thompson). Enjoy the Royal Rumble from 1992, the night Ric Flair became champion.

You've heard the guys describe WCW as being a "coffin on rollerskates." Well, nothing more exemplified that statement than the WCW event Souled Out from 2000. Many guys were out the door after this one as WCW was caught up in who was in/who was out/and who would be booking next. Not many good matches to choose from, but there was Chris Benoit winning the WCW title and Diamond Dallas Page and Buff Bagwell battling for the love of a woman. It was an event beset by change after change after change to the card and about 14 months later, the promotion was DOA.

ECW invaded the Boutwell Auditorium in January of 2000 for a high impact Pay Per View event featuring Mike Awesome kicking Spike Dudley all over the ring and through a few tables as well Also, New Jack met Angel and you can be sure there was a jump off the balcony. But what would a ECW event be without RVD? As he and Sabu hooked it up for the TV Title. Birmingham, Alabama was on fire for ECW including Conrad Thompson in the front row (buzz cut and all).

Well, here it is. The show that made Mick Foley a champ and put Tony Schiavone in the toilet. The famous show that turned the tide in the Monday Night Wars of the 90's and helped hasten the downfall of WCW. It is Tony's first look at the show and the moment, and we think you will agree, the appearance by Stone Cold during the finish of the match was one of the biggest "pops" ever in pro wrestling. The "Greatest Night in the History of our Great Sport?" Certainly for Mick Foley it was; and well deserved. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Well, nothing says Merry Christmas like a good ole ECW Pay Per View. The beloved promotions was not too far away from closing its doors, but that did not stop the action. Even though there was no RVD or Taz or Sandman (until the very end), there was plenty of action. Highlighted by a three way match for the ECW title between Steve Corino, Jerry Lynn and Justin Credible. Conrad and Tony take you back on another nostalgia-fueled trip 19 years ago.

As WCW continued to spiral downward, here is a prime example of how it all went wrong. Too much talk, not enough action. It was a show centered on Roddy Piper, and it featured plenty of big stars: Piper, Brett Hart, Kevin Nash, Goldberg, Scott Hall, Curt Hennig, Harlem Heat, Jeff Jarrett and more. But for all the big names and production efforts, it was a show that fell flat. And even the formation of a brand new NWO could not help it out. Learn more about your ad choices.

Get ready for three hours of wrestling action featuring only four teams and four singles competitors. We are not so sure what "Future Shock" stood for in 1989, but 30 years later it stands for ill-conceived wrestling event. Ric Flair, Sting, Lex Luger, the Great Muta, the Steiners, the Road Warriors, the New Wild Samoans and Doom all got together for a December event at the Omni that everyone in the WCW office thought (we guess) would be great. Nope. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

WHW takes you back to December 7, 1988. Live from Chattanooga, the fourth TBS Clash of the Champions and during the final year of Jim Crockett Promotions. TBS had already acquired JCP and because of a over-the-top angle that aired on TBS, Dusty Rhodes was out as booker. But he was still in the ring battling Road Warrior Animal for control of the World Six-Man Tag team title belt, which is now lost somewhere in Tony Schiavone's attic...but that's another story. Here we have what should have been a great tag team main event: Ric Flair and Barry Windham against the Midnight Express; but having Jim Cornett and the Express as baby faces just seemed odd. Additionally, the opening match on the card went (gag) almost 30 minutes. Enjoy the holidays with a little taste of "Seasons Beatings." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We take you back on a journey. A journey 35 years (can you believe it?) in the past. When things were much simpler. No pay per views, just closed circuit TV. The match: Ric Flair vs Dusty Rhodes. The prize: the NWA World title and $1,000,000. The referee: Smokin' Joe Frazier. Ah, but there is more: Wahoo McDaniel vs Superstar Billy Graham, a tuxedo match between Paul Jones and Jimmy Valiant, Ricky Steamboat against Tully Blanchard and many. many other legendary wrestlers. Conard does not always love going this far back, but Tony certainly does. Maybe it's because he looks so young in these clips. Back we go to Thanksgiving night, November 22, 1984.

Once again into the "Clash" wayback machine, we take you all the way back to THANKSGIVING THUNDER in 1990! Fully entrenched in to the Jim Herd era and basically the end of the run of Ole Anderson as booker, complete with another great chapter in the Sting/Black Scorpion saga.

Another one of those, WCW/NWA/TBS ventures that was full of talent but slim on great action. What can we say? Any show that has The Shockmaster against The Equalizer cannot be all that great. But it did have Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Dustin Rhodes, Steve Austin, Sting, Rick Rude, Road Warrior Hawk, Vander, Steve Regal, Bill Dundee, Johnny B. Badd, Brian Pillman, the Nasty Boys (WITH MISSY HYATT) and Davey Boy Smith. Whew! That's the extent of it. Oh, and some confusion about the condition of stabbing victim Sid Vicious.

As with every ECW event of the '90, this one was a feast for the eyeballs (in more ways than just wrestling action)! It featured RVD, Taz, Sabu, Chris Candido, Raven, Tommy Dreamer, Sandman, Lance Storm, Justin Credible and an ass-kicking match between Mike Awesome and Masato Tanaka. Plus, let's not forget Tammy Lynn Sytch, Dawn Marie and Francine. The action was, as always, at a breakneck speed and the duo of Conrad and Tony with a few special guests, did their best to keep up!

On the heels of the Hulk Hogan turn, WCW was red hot, and this event, Halloween Havoc would become what Eric Bischoff would describe as his crowning achievement in Pay Per View shows. Featuring a great match between Dean Malenko and Rey Mysterio, a newcomer by the name of Chris Jericho, Hogan vs Savage, Eddie Guerrero against DDP, the Outsiders, a beat-down of Chris Benoit and Arn Anderson's final match. So, enjoy a look back at Halloween Havoc via What Happened When. See Tony, JR and Conrad LIVE in Nashville at Zanies on Wednesday November 13th, 2019.

What could be better than Hogan vs Flair in a cage with careers on the line? A big crowd--including Muhammad Ali--was on hand at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit on October 23, 1994 to witness two of the sports biggest star go at it. As usual there were plenty of hits (Hogan vs Flair; Arn vs Dustin Rhodes) and plenty of misses (Kevin Sullivan vs Dave Sullivan), but overall it was a solid show leading up to the arrival of the Dungeon of Doom (ugh!) and a year later, the arrival of the NWO.

Slapdicks! We love 'em. They can come up with some of the greatest questions! So, on the third installment of "Ask Tony Anything" on WHW we picked out some of the best from Twitter as well as some of the most silly.

Want to see a great professional wrestling show? Sorry, this ain't it. However, it did have Ric Flair, Lex Luger, Sting, the Steiners, Stan Hansen, the Z-Man, the Black Scorpion (at least one of them), Tommy Rich, the Freebirds in (gulp!) Confederate Flag face paint and a very handsome, coiffed Tony Schiavone. Coming to you live from the very sparse Asheville, North Carolina, Civic Center where many fans came dressed as steel chairs, it's Clash of the Champions XII, Mountain Madness!

The WWF (WWE) may have been losing in the ratings war in September 1996, but the 10th In Your House hit a home run with the main event featuring Mankind against Shawn Michaels. Mick Foley turned in one of the best performances of his career against one of the greatest workers of all time. Additional, the Undertaker met Goldust, the team of Owen Hart and the British Bulldog took on the Smoking Gunns; plus Jim Cornette, Mark Henry, Jerry "The King" Lawler and a lot more. It's a freak show colliding with a classic wrestler, and it's all In Your House and recorded live from the Batcave.

By the results of the Wrestling Observer Readers' Poll, this was the one of the worst WCW Pay Per Views of all time. It began with Ricky Steamboat against Lord Steven Regal, and with the exception of Ric Flair against Rick Rude and a Cactus Jack against Yoshi Kwan match, it had such duds as Ice Train, Charlie Norris, the Equalizer, Big Sky and a War Games highlighted by the Shockmaster and Road Warrior Animal not getting in the ring. Sheesh!! Maybe a few "Tony Reads Rap" interludes will help matters out. Get ready for Fall Brawl 1993!

Well, let's just put a bag over someone's head and murder them! And that's what WCW tried to do with the Terry Funk and Ric Flair feud. Regardless, this was a good show, even though the public outcry about the final angle had WCW staffers scrambling to find the right answer. But, anytime you have Sting, Flair, the Great Muta, the Steiners, the Road Warriors and the SST in an event, you're bound to have some good wrestling. So, enjoy as the guys sit back and watch Fall Brawl '89! Plastic bag and all!

As only the guys can do, WHW this week takes a look back at another fun ECW PPV event. It was the last match for Taz in ECW and even though he was viewed at the beginning by the fans as a "sell out" and traitor, he was eventually honored and cheered as he lost the ECW title and shook hands with Mike Awesome at the end. Also Rob Van Dam goes up against Balls Mahoney and Raven and Tommy Dreamer in a very reluctant tag team match. Plus, not to be outdone, there are appearance by Francine and Dawn Marie. Get ready for more hardcore at its finest! See Tony and Conrad LIVE in Wayne, NJ on September 28th, 2019.

WCW was red hot. Nitro was live from the stronghold of the Four Horsemen, Columbia, SC. It was the perfect place for Arn Anderson to give a farewell speech and to offer his "spot" to Curt Hennig. Come back in time with Conrad and Tony to August of 1997. And even though Sting is in the rafters holding a motherfucking vulture, it's a lot of fun.
