What Happened When

Join Conrad and Tony for a look at the last ECW Pay Per View.  It was turbulent time in wrestling, with the Monday Night Wars nearing an end, and ECW having financial troubles.  The final ECW Pay Per View went out with a bang as Jerry Lynn and Rob Van Dam collided for a memorable impromptu match as well as Tommy Dreamer and C.W. Anderson in a bloody "I Quit Match."  Yes, we know the WWE would later have an ECW Pay Per View.  But really?  Who were they trying to fool?  This is the REAL ECW, ECW, ECW!  And it's on WHW, WHW, WHW!

1985 was a magical year for Jim Crockett Promotions.  Their promotion debuted on TBS in early April, and by the end of the year, they were headed to their third Starrcade loaded with such talented superstars as Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Ivan and Nikita Koloff, the Rock and Roll Express, Arn and Ole Anderson and the Midnight Express with Jim Cornette.  But as they headed to Starrcade '85, much of the attention was on the storyline between two phenomenal athletes:  Tully Blanchard and Magnum TA.  WHW takes you back to tell the story building up to the famous "I Quit Match" that many still call the most violent match ever in JCP.

What started out as a great idea...well...did not turn out too well at all for Tony.  He, Conrad and Dave Silva were going to spend a few days in Las Vegas to prepare for Starrcast II.  Tony thought it would be a good idea for a vacation.  Conrad had a better idea:  do the podcast while they were in Vegas!   Tony was trapped in a board room at Caesars' Palace with no vacation in site.  Support us on Patreon, get this show early and ad free, plus TONS of BONUScontent: http://patreon.com/WHWMonday Like us on Facebook: http://facebook.com/WHWMonday Check out all the new cool merchandise at BoxOfGimmicks.com (http://boxofgimmicks.com/) Buy a shirt and Tony will call you (eventually!) at LoisRules.com (http://loisrules.com/) Subscribe to our YouTube channel: http://youtube.com/whw Save thousands at SaveCade.com (http://savecade.com/) Get the Starrcast II Four Day Pass on Fite at starrcastonfite.com (https://www.fite.tv/watch/starrcast-full-pack/2oj02/) Learn more about your ad choices.

What has the debut of Oz, the debut of Johnny B. Badd, the debut of the forerunner of Razor Ramon, Brad Armstrong dressed up as a bird, bears pissing on the ramp way, and Missy Hyatt being spanked by Stan Hansen all rolled into one?  Well, it's the very first SuperBrawl!  It happened in 1991 and also had some GREAT wrestling action including Sting and Lex Luger against the Steiners, Bobby Eaton versus Arn Anderson and Ric Flair meeting Tatsumi Fujinami.  Conrad and Tony take you back to the intersection of great silliness and great competition...SuperBrawl I; Return from the Rising Sun.

After a week of replays and clips, WCW Monday Nitro went back on the air live on April 10, 2000 to "reboot" the program.  It was a new direction of the company under both Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo.  It was an attempt to cross fiction and storylines with real life.  But now, looking back 19 years later, what actually transpired was muddled and confusing and helped WCW quickly down the  path of no-return.  Join Conrad and Tony for a look back at what seemed like a good idea at the time, but quickly became another painful chapter in the final year of the company.

Thirty-one years later, WrestleMania III goes down as one of the most-memorable, most groundbreaking, most influential professional wrestling events of all time.  It was the glory days of Hulkamania and pitted Hogan against the legendary Andre the Giant.  It was a match that did not get the greatest of reviews, but has stood the test of time as one of the most iconic matches ever. It also gave us Randy Savage against Ricky Steamboat in truly one of the greatest matches on a wrestling pay per view event. Enough with the platitudes, it's time to load up the video from the day at the Silverdome.  Do you remember?  Well, now remember it with Conrad and Tony.

Spring Break always meant one thing for the viewers of WCW Monday Nitro; an episode on the beach.  In 2000, WCW took its traveling circus to South Padre Island in Texas for a show that would mark the beginning of the final year of the company.  It was a show loaded with plenty of talent (and we're talking about the wrestlers), plenty of risqué videos and plenty of wrestling action.  Conrad and Tony take on the beginning of the end of WCW as only they know how; WHW Monday style.

Join Conrad, Tony and the attendees of the very first Low Key-Big Hog Convention as they watch one of the most memorable WCW Monday Nitro episodes ever.  Right out of the famous Bash at the Beach and formation of the NWO, the "Outsiders" were on the attack.  The result was a disruption of a television show and an event that forever strained the relationship between WCW and Disney.  There were some memorable matches, like Eddie Guerrero against the Boss and a big six man tag with some of the biggest names in WCW.  The promotion was about to take off on a red-hot run, and this episode of Nitro was part of that story.  Support us on Patreon, get this show early and ad free, plus TONS of BONUS content: http://patreon.com/WHWMonday Like us on Facebook: http://facebook.com/WHWMonday Join Conrad, Tony and Eric Bischoff for What Happened When in 83 Weeks this Fri.

It was the final Clash of the Champions under the Jim Crockett Promotions banner as well as the first time an event was named "Fall Brawl."  The event featured Sting and Barry Windham for the U.S. Heavyweight Title; Dusty Rhodes against Kevin Sullivan; Ricky Morton versus Ivan Koloff in a Russian Chain Match; the Sheepherders, Doctor Death Steve Williams and more.  We take you back to Albany, Georgia and September 7, 1988 and the prime-time swan-song for JCP:  Clash III.

A mere six days after WCW closed its doors, the WWF held WrestleMania 17 at the Astrodome in Houston, Texas.  A show full of memorable matches like the TLC match for the tag team championship, McMahon against McMahon, the Undertaker against HHH and Stone Cold Steve Austin versus the Rock.   But it also began a downturn in business for Vince McMahon that began with one much debated decision at the end of the show.

In February of 1997, the WWF was on the cusp of the "Attitude Era." In a memorable interview Shawn Michaels vacated the World Heavyweight Title. Many thought it was only because he was not willing to lose to Brett Hart at WrestleMania 13. It was however, the key moment it was a solid two hour program complete with the crowning of a new Intercontinental Champion and the beginning of a legendary career. Conrad and Tony take you back to Lowell, Massachusetts and Thursday RAW Thursday.   Support us on Patreon, get this show early and ad free, plus TONS of BONUS content: patreon.com/WHWMonday Like us on Facebook: facebook.com/WHWMonday Check out the new koozies, hoodies, beach towels, and baby onesies at BoxOfGimmicks.com Buy a shirt and Tony will call you (eventually!) at LoisRules.com Subscribe to our YouTube channel: youtube.com/whw Save thousands at SaveCade.com Get Starrcast a la carte at fite.tv Learn more about your ad choices.

It was the final SuperBrawl of them all. February 18, 2001 and a little over a month before WCW would close down the doors, Scott Steiner met Kevin Nash for the WCW World Championship in a match in which the rules seemed to change every five minutes. There were some great moments, like an electric Six Man Elimination Match; Chavo Guerrero, Jr. against Rey Mysterio and Diamond Dallas Page having to fight through not one, but two opponents.

Conrad and Tony take you back to WCW in 1991.  The Gulf War was raging.  Dusty Rhodes had returned as booker.  The Clash had to be taken out of the CNN Center and moved to Gainesville, Georgia.  This show had plenty:  Ric Flair vs Scott Steiner, an arm wrestling contest between Paul Heyman and Missy Hyatt, and plenty of enhancement matches.  Welcome to the Jim Herd era of WCW!  This is DIXIE DYNAMITE!!!!

While WCW was enjoying the momentum of Hulk Hogan turning heel and the advent of the NWO, the WWF was chugging right along with who would become the biggest superstar in the business (Stone Cold Steve Austin); a "blue chip" rookie (Rocky Maivia) and one of the true-great performers in the ring (Shawn Michaels). Join Conrad and Tony as they look back on a show that had a little bit of everything and a show that Conrad calls an underrated "gem."
