What Happened When

It's the final Starrcade! (Yeah, we know it's now a WWE, house show-streaming-type-thing, but this is the last REAL one). And WCW went out with a fizzle. With the exception of the opening match (a great ladder match, by the way), it was not much going on. DDP and Kevin Nash did win the WCW Tag Team Championship and Big Papa Pump retained the WCW World Title by beating Sid Vicious, but mostly is was a "Christmas Miracle" WCW lasted as long as it did. And three months later WCW was..."a goodnight to all, and to all a goodnight!"

Many say it was Ric Flair's greatest moment. Everyone tuned in on December 27, 1993 to see not only Flair with one of his finest triumphs, but also to honor "The Man" during his biggest challenge; one on one against Vader. From the opening montage, to Flair leaving his home, to the match, to the emotional end, it was a wonderful tribute. And be sure to look not only for a young future Mrs. Thompson (Megan), but also a very young Charlotte Flair.

Was this the worst Pay Per View of all time? Well, it was branded as ECW, but with the exception of Tommy Dreamer, Rob Van Dam, Joey Styles, Taz, Paul E. and an appearance by Sandman, it was everything but ECW. As a matter of fact, a case could be made that it was WWE burning the ECW brand once and for all. Sad, but probably true.

This is the one that has "stood the test of time." The very first Starrcade from Thanksgiving night 1983. It was before WrestleMania and became the flagship event of Jim Crockett Promotions and then WCW. It was not a Pay Per View event but was broadcast via closed circuit to many arenas in the then Mid-Atlantic area. Ric Flair vs Harley Race was the featured event, but the event had so much more. Including Roddy Piper and Greg Valentine in a Dog Collar Match; Gordon Solie and Bob Caudle on commentary, Abdullah the Butcher, Ricky Steamboat, the Brisco Brothers, Wahoo McDaniel; and then somewhere backstage a young, green Tony Schiavone. It was also the beginning of the run by Dusty Rhodes as booker of Jim Crockett Promotions. You like blood? You like realism? You like vintage pro wrestling?

Conrad and Tony take you back to January 1990. It was the WWF Royal Rumble from Orlando featuring 30 top superstars and angles and issues heading to WrestleMania VI. It was also the event in which Tony found himself at the last minute behind the mic with Jesse "The Body" Ventura doing commentary. Orlando, Florida was the site and it was "Every Slapdick For Himself!"

You may have been expecting Royal Rumble 1990, but that will come next week. This week, go on the road with Tony and Conrad as they drive from Nashville to Atlanta. If you hear a loud hissing noise then keep in mind most of it was Tony driving in a driving rain storm. But they survived and their conversation ranged from Hulk Hogan to Eric Bischoff to the current WWE product to Scott Steiner to Blew Chew. It also included a stop in Acworth, Georgia at the Shoney's to see if Big Papa Pump was in the house.

Tony and Conrad take you back in time to one of the most remembered a talked about PPV's ever. Halloween Havoc '91. The clusterf**k that featured the Chamber of Horrors where Abdullah the Butcher was electrocuted even though the throw switch kept falling even before the dirty deed.

It's the episode where real-life intersected with pro wrestling, when on April 22, 1998, Marcus "Buff" Bagwell was seriously injured during a Ric Steiner bulldog from the top turnbuckle.

Yes, this WCW Pay Per View had a little of everything: Hulk Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior, Silver King (WTF?), Raven, Saturn, Roddy Piper, Bret Hart, DDP.

One of the big parts of the WHW Starrcast experience during "All In" weekend was fans being able to do "wrestling style" interviews with Tony Schiavone.

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.

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 Prisoner. Yes, it's what you think it is. The Legends are in the ring but no one introduces them, Matt Koon is playing guitar instead of wrestling, the cameras miss the pyro, Ventura missed the show, the lights go out during a promo (and don't come back on), Bullet Bob is out with an injury, guys in their 50s are going to time limit draws, Cactus Jack is the best angle in the company so of course he's not on this card, WCW is desperate for a big heel so they take a stab at bringing Sid back, Shane Douglas is hurt and wants out but they don't want us to believe that so they call Tom Zenk "Shane Douglas" -- this is not made up. How? Well put him under a hood like a Mexican tag team but let's not pretend they're Hispanic, let's believe they're Shane Douglas. Confused yet? WCW in 1993 folks. You gotta see this to believe it.

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 are in rare form with the silliness on this episode so fire up the WWE Network to find Clash of the Champions from April 2, 1989, press mute, and let the good times roll!

"You're out! You're no longer a horseman!" were the words spoken on the outset of this show in a perfectly executed angle that could only be ruined by a cataclysmic injury happening on the same show 2 hours later....and it did. Clash of Champions had it all, from Mick Foley's least favorite match against Mil Mascaras, to a young Undertaker as Mark Callous running the ropes like a thoroughbred and showing flashes of what was to become the Phenom. In addition the "mystery" of Doom may finally be solved against one of the greatest tag teams of all time: School Board and Ham Cubes. See everything great and terrible about WCW all in the same show as Tony and Conrad watch along and give you the companion piece you never wanted, but always needed on another hilarious and insightful episode of What Happened When Mondays with Tony Schiavone and Conrad Thompson!

Crockett era fans (and even those later WCW fans who want to learn more of their wrestling history) can rejoice as Tony and Conrad dive into one of the most crucial events in wrestling history, the 1988 Bunkhouse Stampede. You have Flair vs. Hawk, Eaton vs. Koloff, and the finals of the main event: A come as you are battle royal-esque cage match where anything goes. But the real story was behind the scenes as Crockett and WWF were maneuvering and strategizing against each other, and this event was in many ways the most crucial battleground, with one decisive winner. You know it won't be all serious, because this is Conrad and Tony, who can make any subject fun as you will see yet again, on What Happened When?....... Mondays! Learn more about your ad choices.

Back by popular demand is Tony Schiavone answering YOUR questions! Conrad has a record of picking legendary questions that will give us some unforgettable answers as Tony fields questions like: What match does he wish he called, what current wrestlers would compose a Schiavone designed 4 horsemen, and of course he finally settles the bet on who would win in a shoot fight, Bob Caudle or Gordon Solie?

Souled out 1998 may be one of the best shows in the post Starrcade 97 era of WCW, and there is a lot to like about this show, so it's no wonder why. Flair vs. Hart, Giant vs. Nash Debacle, 8 man luchadore extravaganza, Rey vs. Jericho, and so much more. But this is What Happened when Mondays with Tony and Conrad so there might be a Lois run in, there could be a GOAT call in, and there definitely is unrelated rant or two relating to what is now a "collector's Edition" of a former WHW Mondays shirt. This will be an episode that will be talked about, and certainly one that should not be mossed.
