What Happened When

During this Thanksgiving week, we go back and take a look and listen to when Thanksgiving night was the biggest night of the year in Pro Wrestling. Starrcade '85 was full of memorable moments, but if you think it was because of the end of the Dusty Rhodes/Ric Flair title match, then you miss the point and are only looking for the negative. There was so much more: Magnum T.A. versus Tully Blanchard in an "I Quit" match for the U.S. Title. Buddy Landel winning the National Title and the Rock and Roll Express topping the Ivan and Nikita Koloff for the World Tag Title. There were some other matches that had their moments such as Superstar Billy Graham and the Barbarian in an arm wrestling contest. Black Bart meeting Ron Bass in a bullrope match and the Midnight Express against Jimmy Valiant and Ron Garvin in drag in a tuxedo street fight. A lot to unpack, but a lot of NWA-Jim Crockett Promotions history in the making.

It was the build up to Starrcade '85: The Gathering. And it's HARD TIMES. Yes, the famous interview by the American Dream Dusty Rhodes as he readies to do battle with Ric Flair. Also, it's the buildup to Tully Blanchard vs Magnum T.A. and the famous "I Quit Match." It's back when the pro wrestling television shows were nothing but an infomercial to get you into the arenas, but damn they were good. Another trip down memory lane, 35 year ago: WHW Style!

Back we go to the 80's during the WTBS studio days. Jim Crockett Promotions was in turmoil with their selling to Turner Broadcasting not too far away. Behind the scenes, apparently the friction between Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes is at an all time high. So, as stories and legend have it, Ric Flair goes out and has a great match with George South just to prove a point. But there is much more, including a promo from Jim Cornette directed towards Paul E. Dangerously that is can't miss. We think you'll agree, it's one of the classic promos of all time. It's time to hop in the time machine and take you back to when wrestling on TV looks a whole lot different than what you see today.

It's another venture back into ECW, but this time it's when the promotion is on the down-slide. Still, there's a lot of good things including: Jerry Lynn, Justin Credible, Kid Kash, CW Anderson, FBI, Mikey Whipwreck, Yoshihiro Tajiri, Da Baldies, The Sandman, Dawn Marie, Francine and the GREAT Chris Hamrick. Plus Steve Corino gets his well deserved due, his first World Championship. Keep an eye out for Angel of Da Baldies suffering some severe burns and for Francine's posterior getting plenty of camera time during the finish of the main event. Also listen for "Tony's Nightmare" and "Tony Does Love Songs." Enjoy a "November To Remember" for many reasons.

A lot to unpack in this one as we begin Halloween week of 2020. Four great performers battle in the main event in what was the very first Halloween Havoc ever! Flair, Funk, Sting and Muta! How about that for a lineup? All four in a Thunderdome match, a cage with so much decoration that it caught fire (a great Halloween treat)! Plus, the Road Warriors, the Midnight Express, the SST, the Steiners, Doom, Tommy Rich (Somebody say something about Halloween???). Lex Luger, the Freebirds, Brian Pillman and more.

We think you are really going to dig this! October of 1987, Sting makes his debut on TBS and World Championship Wrestling! It's easy to see how his character grew from this moment, but it is also great to see how much potential he had from just one match and following interview. Just like all TBS studio programs in that era, this show was short on wrestling action but long on great interviews. This is one to remember!

If you like great wrestling action with great storylines...then you have come to the wrong place. A show that was long on skits and interviews and short on action, the event was from Long Beach, California and is best known for the standoff between Jeff Jarrett and Beetlejuice of Howard Stern fame. That was in the very first segment and it went downhill from there. The crew was ready to embark on a trip to Australia and this was the last stop on what was a lousy tour out west before the long trek to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. This was WCW approximately five months before the end and there was no doubt the promotion was in trouble.

It's a fine celebration of 20 years of professional wrestling on "The Superstation" TBS. Complete with legends such as Gordon Solie, Bruno Sammartino, Andre The Giant, Dusty Rhodes, Bill Watts, Thunderbolt Patterson and more! However, there was also some (not much) wrestling action featuring Ron Simmons, Cactus Jack, Vader, Rick Rude, Sting, Dustin Rhodes, Barry Windham, Jake the Snake Roberts and many others. We go back to 1992 when the Bill Watts era attempted to be completely different than the WWE...but then there was Turner Home Entertainment that didn't give a damn about Bill Watts, as long as they could turn "Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal" into a sitcom.

Regardless of how you feel about the NWO parody of Arn Anderson and the Four Horsemen, you can't deny that you will never forget it. Well, it's all here including some pretty good matches and some very long interviews and video packages. Additionally, what happened behind the curtain that night BEFORE, DURING and AFTER the infamous parody? Well, we have the answers on What Happened When. Join Conrad and Tony in a show featuring the Outsiders, Hollywood Hogan, Eddie Guerrero, Lex Luger, Dean Malenko, Ultimo Dragon, Raven, Stevie Richards, DDP, the Macho Man Randy Savage and a whole lot more.

Conrad and Tony take you back in time to TWO very different episodes of ECW. First, we go back to 1994 when Extreme Championship Wrestling was born. When Shane Douglas threw down the NWA belt and became the ECW champ. It was quite a swerve to the NWA and will never be forgotten on many levels. Then we will go back to the very first live-to-tape ECW show on TNN in 1999. Taz opened the show with a big win and later, The Dudleys were a big part of the episode as this would be their last show before leaving to the WWF (E). Also, both episodes have some great Tommy Dreamer moments as well. Strap in for an EXTREME RIDE!

It's a wrestling show loaded with talent, but also loaded with short matches. Join Conrad and Tony as they take you back to your childhood of 1996. Hulk Hogan vs Ric Flair was the headliner, but it also had the Steiners, Sting, Lex Luger, Hall and Nash, DDP, Harlem Heat, Eddie Guerrero, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, VK Wallstreet, the Giant, Chris Benoit, Ultimo Dragon, Konan, Glacier, Kevin Sullivan, Col. Robert Parker, Sister Sherri, Queen Debra, Jimmy Hart, the Barbarian, Hugh Morrus, Madusa, Bull Nakano, Woman, Miss Elizabeth, Meng, and, it what will go down as a sensational matchup, Rey Mysterio against Dean Malenko. It wasn't well received by the dirt sheets, but it had some great moments. And it was the NWO before the NWO was ultra cool.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Yes, WCW was in full "Coffin On Rollerskates" mode on March 19, 2000.

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. And, as Tony would say, we did not even get a camera shot of Francine!!! Spend St. Patrick's Day with Tony andGood Ole JR LIVE in Rochester, NY at Comedy at the Carlson on Tuesday March 17, 2020.

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. Did you computer survive that? WCW did not. Spend St. Patrick's Day with Tony, Good Ole JR and Conrad LIVE in Rochester, NY at Comedy at the Carlson on Tuesday March 17, 2020.

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. It's all a part of pro wrestling lore and now you can relive it with Tony and Conrad and What Happened When.

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. But enough of this sad stuff, enjoy a laugh or two while watching along with Souled Out 2000.

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. No, it wasn't a "Miracle" on 34th Street is was a "Massacre." See Tony, Good Ole JR and Conrad LIVE in Huntsville, Alabama at Stand Up Live on Wednesday February 5, 2020.

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
