tullyblanchard

It's the best Starrcade yet as Magnum TA takes on Tully Blanchard in the greatest NWA match of all time. It's a super fun show taking place in 2 diffrent arenas. This is Jim Crockett Promotions at his best and Andrew Lee and I break it all down!

While Vinnie Mac wrecks havoc in 2023 we go back 39 years to Starrcade 84 and revisit Dusty Rhodes vs Ric Flair Tully Blanchard vs Ricky Steamboat Wahoo McDaniel vs Superstar Billy Graham and more! It's a weird shitty show and Andrew Lee and Gootz break it all down!

It's time for Luke Pennock and Brendan Flaherty to review episodes 97 and 98 of ECW, from February 28th & March 7th, 1995. 

It's all about the fallout from RETURN OF THE F***ER (which we reviewed over on Patreon). Someone is back from ECW's past and nothing will ever be the same! Or something. It's a lot of replays and recaps, let's face it. Well, replays for us. But still. 

Also discussed: Luke's pants problems, Raven's beer-shill potential, student services in Delaware, tangents about comedy and the service industry (shocker topics from Brendan, really), belt credibility, a softcore haven, the promo debut of Dewey Foley, Shane and Mick's past, the chiseled beard of Tommy Dreamer, Tully as filler, the dearth of Arby's locations in the GTA, the moral dilemma of aquariums, and also, occasionally, we talk about wrestling.

It's time for Luke Pennock and Brendan Flaherty to review episodes 93 and 94 of ECW, from January 31st and February 7th, 1995. 

The ECW brings extreme to Orlando! A new "monster" debuts! Cactus Jack issues a deadly challenge! The biggest match is shown - in slideshow form! 

Also discussed: being part-Godzilla, keepin' it sealed, whether people remember Razor Ramon is also Scott Hall, underfunded schools, the realities of an adjacent hallway, the confusion of the "Jason the Terrible" gimmick, Liev Schreiber: pro wrestler, the special internet event (in 1995!) that was "Double Tables", the importance of stakes, the Ken Burns affect in full effect, eating glass at Hooters, humility, and a whole lot more.

ECW travels to the Sunshine State! Al Snow brings the... flakes! Fights are filmed and feuds are furthered! (Really not a big "news" time, but we bring it nonetheless...)

Also discussed: being behind on pods, Pocari Sweat as bathtaker's Gatorade, shooting b-roll in the 'burbs, Ronny James Dio: grunge icon, the abysmal state of the Nirvana cover in Black Widow, problematic Stephen King slang, the applications of SoCal punk, the pitfalls of catchphrases, the death of figurative art, Paul Heyman's tricky temporal calculus, the Old Tully vs. the New Tully, crossing the border to Skullet Town, and a whole lot more.

Raven takes flight! A new Giant looms large! Shane Douglas makes his Broadway (nightclub) debut! A new challenger appears!
