Due to recording issues this week, our Big Show episode has been put on ice. Instead, the guys are treating you to formerly YouTube exclusive material never heard before on the podcast. If you've got the WWE Network, fire it up, watch along, and laugh along to these three terrible matches from WCW Halloween Havoc!

A UFC fighter is killed in a hit-and-run in Brazil, CM Punk possibly made a masked run-in at an indy show, AEW is either going to pay TNT for their show or will be paid for it, ROH is booking a mediocre title match, NJPW announces names for the G1 Climax show in Texas, Impact releases a big star, and AAA is coming to MSG! That and so much more is covered as Troy & Greg break format this week for a special 40th episode!

The audio sounds a bit different, but it's the same great show! This was quite possibly the hottest angle in the history of professional wrestling. It was WWF vs. WCW & ECW (The Alliance), and Greg and Troy have many opinions on the matter from watching it live and having to relive it in their minds. Also on the show, they cover what REALLY happened in New York over WrestleMania weekend and possibly one of the greatest fights in UFC history from this past weekend!

He's been in-and-out of professional wrestling for over 2 decades. He was either a writer or head writer for three major companies (WWE, WCW, & TNA). He's had multiple podcasts and now an entire podcast network. He's also made many, many, many enemies (and minions) along the way. From start to finish, Troy & Greg break down everything they can possibly dig up from Vince Russo's (in)famous career, within an hour.

It was big, it was historic for multiple reasons, and it featured Kid Rock in the Big Easy! The show was...what it was. It was the end of "The Streak" and the kicking off of Daniel Bryan's run at the top. Unfortunately, it was cut short...for the time! The guys also cover what happens now that TJ Dillishaw got popped for performance enhancing drugs.

The guys disagree on this one. It's WrestleMania XXV from Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. It's not the best Mania ever, but it was sure something to talk about, featuring one of the greatest matches of all time. The 24th anniversary (it was NOT the 25th anniversary!!!) of WrestleMania was a polarizing show, and the guys talk about what was, what wasn't, and what could have been.

It was an historic night where it all began...again!

We're right in the midst of the Attitude Era and Stone Cold is going into Mania as the WWE Title challenger 2 years in a row. However, this card is not the best. For instance, a man was murdered before our very eyes, but he was not GONE FOREVER, BRO! Check out the analysis and breakdown of the show from the guys!

The Mega Powers are going to explode, and Troy & Greg have it all covered for you! While it was certainly better than WrestleMania 1, WrestleMania V wasn't exactly the best show ever. After quickly running through what happened at 2, 3, & 4, the guys run it all down. They also cover recent releases from WWE, the Hulk Hogan biopic from Netflix, a big retirement from UFC, and much more in the news!

Moving on to a new category, Troy & Greg go over the first ever WrestleMania in history! Before going through all the segments and matches on the actual card, they rundown all the build-up to the event. They also cover all the reception and reaction to the event.

It's the finale for our journey through the worst year in wrestling: 1995. Here, the guys cover WWF In Your House 5: Season's Beatings and WCW Starrcade 1995, where it was WCW vs. NJPW! The next subject of the show will be revealed at the end of the episode. The guys also talk about all the news regarding Kenny Omega and AEW, as well as get into a spirited argument about the future of the wrestling industry (AEW specifically).

You're getting 3 famously shows for the price of one! Troy & Greg cover WWF In Your House 3 and 4, as well as the infamous WCW Halloween Havoc 1995! In great detail, they cover how epically boring and lame IYH 3 & 4 were, the bad booking decisions, and how a giant mummy, supposed to be a Yeti, did something very inappropriate with the rear-end of Hulk Hogan at Halloween Havoc '95.

The boys cover one of the worst SummerSlams (possibly the worst) in WWE history, as they talk about WWF SummerSlam 1995. It's Diesel vs. King Mabel for the main event, so you can guess how amazing that was. However, there is an epic Ladder match between Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon that is can't-miss! Then, after all the crap they've seen from WCW so far in 1995, the boys talk about an actual decent event with Fall Brawl: WarGames! To open up the show, the guys also talk about what happened in UFC and boxing, and they talk about "journalistic integrity" for wrestling dirt sheet writers.

We're up to 3 shows, now! Troy & Greg venture into the Land of Extreme for ECW Hardcore Heaven '95 where everything is insane and bloody, head towards the west coast for WCW Bash at the Beach '95 where we have a Lifeguard Match and Hogan takes on Vader in a steel cage on the beach, and finally, we go all country for WWF In Your House 2 in Tennessee where Jeff Jarrett lip-syncs and Diesel faces Sycho Sid in a Lumberjack match! In case you were wondering, these shows were no good.

Before diving into the dumpster-fire that was WWF King of the Ring 1995 and the pretty boring WCW Great American Bash 1995, Troy & Greg deliver their dedication to Mean Gene Okerlund. They also cover the latest on AEW, NJPW, and what happened at UFC 232.

After all the terrible shows so far, these ones were bad...but not quite as bad. Troy & Greg talk about the latest wrestling news as well as going over the very first WWF In Your House and WCW Slamboree 1995, which saw a ton of legends being inducted into the WCW Hall of Fame.

The year started off with some pretty terrible pay-per-views, but we're full-on into the thick of things now as we dive into one of the worst WrestleManias of all time and one of the worst pay-per-views WCW ever put on. Troy & Greg also discuss getting rid something that has been a staple of the show since Episode 1, and they give their opinions on the rumors about The Elite and WWE, as well as some big news out of UFC.

It's a long one, but there's a lot to cover. Troy is joined by Kyle to go over all that happened at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders, & Chairs 2018, and then discuss the fallout on Raw & SmackDown. Since both shows had the Christmas Eve and Christmas episodes pre-taped, Troy drops some spoilers on you all for those shows (but warns you first). Finally, Troy runs down all the haps from ROH Final Battle 2018, and discusses his opinions on the show. A big episode with big quality! You won't wanna sleep on this one!
