This week it's the mega-fallout from WRESTLEMANIA 13, featuring matches other than Hart/Austin apparently. Then, the ramp up to Spring Stampede begins over on Nitro, and very quickly, ends. Yeah, we don't know whats happening, but isn't that half the fun? Find out by joining is on WGW! Insta: @wgw.wrestlingsgreatishwar email: wgwpod@gmail.com

Well, here we are friends, on the doorstep of one of the most pivotal Wrestlemania's ever, and also in the aftermath of one of the most confusing, strange and batshit WCW PPV's we've seen so far. It's a weird place to be, so why don't you join us? We run down RAW, WCW Uncensored and NItro and boy, there is no shortage of things to talk about!

Hold onto your Hawaiian Shirts and Tiki Drinks because it's SPRING BREAK!!!! Which means WCW is invading Florida (the birthplace of Spring Break) and WWF is presenting NIGHT OF THE LIVING SQUASH free of charge in between it's best storyline ever. Also, WCW's mysterious Uncensored PPV is coming up and I'd love to tell you what's happening there but... it's a mystery. A baffling confusing Mystery. All that and more on WGW44!

This week on WGW, Raw has title matches! Interesting interviews! Story Development! Nitro has... well honestly, I still don't really know. Roddy Piper is building a family, Hogan is calling people stinky, Bischoff is embroiled in corporate dealings, and all of that doesn't tell us a thing about what's happening at Uncensored. So come join us as we sort it all out on WGW!

Its a new episode of WGW and since it's a Monday Night War podcast, we talk about ECW! The renegades from the Philly Bingo Hall are invading RAW and they bring with them everything but a throat losenge! In WCW, SuperBrawl 7 culminates with a shocking twist we've only seen twice and on Nitro, well, they Nitro the crap out of it. All this and more on WGW! Contact us: wgwpod@gmail.com

This week, in WCW, there's no one who can escape the long arm of the law. Detective Tony Shiavone is just 25 years from retirement, but he's seen a lot on these streets. See it with us as he solves WCW greatest crime... after it's shown to him... on tape... by the outsiders. In WWF, there's no mystery about what happened at In Your House: Final Four, and no mystery about who the champion is! Again! All this and more on WGW!

This week on WGW we plumb the absolute depths that Ahmed Johnson can sink to while off his medication. Plus, there's a new dance in WCW and it's all about trust! Shawn Micheals has lost his smile, Roddy Piper has lost his mind, and oh, so much more here on WGW! To reach us e-mail wgwpod@gmail.com!

We are back for the record-breaking 39th episode of WGW! (yes, we have an acronym now). This week, RAW makes the jump to two hours indie the Skydome! Nitro makes the jump to Superbrawl (or at least Roddy Piper does) and what happens when everyone's in the stands watching the wrestling when they are supposed to be wrestling? Or in the case of Syxx, casing the joint? Find out about all this and even more on this weeks WGW!

This week we have a LOT of WCW to get to! Clash of the Champions! Souled Out! Nitro! Almost 6 hours of WCW in the span of about 4 days, and there's only one word for it: Exhausting. Also, RAW was a show that was on television in 1997 and this episode was definitely an episode of that show. So much to say, so much to cringe at, and so, so much to laugh about on Wrestling's Greatish War!

After an extended holiday break, we are back! And what a world we've returned to! Everyone's mad in WWF about the Royal Rumble, but you know who isn't? The audience. On Nitro, we get an excellent set up for Clash of The Champions and Souled Out. OR, we get more gibberish from Hulk Hogan and a bunch of mini-matches. You be the judge with us on Wrestling's Greatish War!

This week, it's the RAW before Royal Rumble! Who will face off in the massive match? Will HBK look like he wants to be there? Will Sid get the date right? Over on Nitro, the build to Souled Out continues with... the cancellation of the Main Event? Plus, a rare appearance by the WCW Executive Committee, and WCW and TNT try to change TV forever! "Try" being the operative word there...

This week we dive headfirst into 1997 and all the glitz and glamour it holds! Raw has a whole bunch of promos and stripping! Nitro has a whole bunch of... Nitro. But, there's some surprisingly pleasing bits on both shows! Come join us as we explore these bits on Wrestling's Great(ish) War!

This week it's our long-awaited 1996 review!! We talk about WWF and WCW's championship scene, give out a smattering of awards and set the stage for 1997, arguably the best year in pro wrestling ever! Grab a tux and join us on Wrestling's Greatish War!

This week it's the final episodes of Nitro and Raw for 1996! On the eve of the best year in pro wrestling (arguably) who sets a better stage? Do Bret and Shawn come to blows? Does the Giant have a good year on the way? Does Arn Anderson try a regular strength Miller or stick to Miller Lite? Answers to these questions and much more on Wrestling's Great(ish) War!

After many technical, societal and mental issues, we are here with a full run down of WCW's biggest show of 1996, Starrcade! The main event is Hollywood Hogan vs Roddy piper in a match for the tit-- uh, a match for respe--, um... a match! Plus, some killer cruiserweight action, The Giant takes on Lex Luger for reasons, and the Horsemen do their best to make sure everyone knows... something. Join us, for Starrcade 1996!

This week, there are some startling revelations in WCW! This includes news about the Womens Tournament, Stings ability to look at stuff from afar, and also Stings ability to lose matches without even being in them! On Raw, Triple H fights Marc Mero or something. I wasn't really paying attention. All this and more though, including the rampup for WCW Starcade and WWF... Raw, the next episode of Raw.

We are back! After a brief hiatus, we resume the road to Starcade over on Nitro! Will the NWO succeed? Will there be shocking twists and turns? Will Roddy Piper even show up? We have all the answers! On RAW, we have none of the answers because when the question is "Why are the Gunn Brothers the main event?" No answer could possibly satisfy. Plus an In Your House #12 recap, the origin of NWO Japan and more!

This week on the show (There's an audio error that sounds like clipping. I did my best to clean it up, I swear!) we get another RAW that is undeniably boring. Including a Karate Fighters recap! Yup, that's it! On Nitro things get better, but only through the generous use of head-canon. Nitro is in Charlotte which is Horsemen country! So that means they will stand tall, right? RIGHT?! Probably not, but we'll tell you all about it!

This week as we race towards the end of 1996, we stumble over two pretty terrible shows. Raw features... nothing, just nothing. On Nitro, we get to listen to the NWO talk about how cool they are, Sting digging into his trust issues, and most importantly, Scott Steiner's Leather Recliner. Plus listener questions, Ric Flair woo-ing himself out of existence and more!

This week, we've got three big shows to get to! A barnburner kicks off RAW and kicks us towards one of our favourite factions! We explore what would happen if WCW World War III took place in the woods and no one cared? Nitro establishes the "Nitro Ending" while making a mockery of tournaments! All this plus listener questions, insightful analysis and more! (no, seriously!)

This week, there's a lot of information to get to! First, it's Survivor Series 1996! New Champions! Classic Matches, er, Match! A Bunch of Filler! Plus, Raw brings us... nothing! While Nitro hits us with a major, major plot point, preceded by an hour and forty-five minutes of... nothing! All this plus listener questions, Keith Lee references and more await your earholes on Wresting's Great(ish) War!

This week, the wrestling world takes it up a notch by standing completely still. On Raw, will there be fallout from last week's attempted murder? Will Nitro complete the trifecta and have hulk hogan Pose to end the show for the third week in a row? Could Roddy Piper have a skeleton in his closet that could mean NOTHING AT ALL? Find out the answers to these and other questions from November, 1996!

This week's show is packed with interesting, legendary wrestling stories. Behold! The Austin/Pillman storyline that was way more than a "shoot." Observe! The Hulk Hogan Promo that will not die! Witness! the secret origin of... The Gobbledygooker? Yes, it's deep, deep cuts this week as we slice off a big chunk of Raw and Nitro from November 4th, 1996!

A lot to get to this week! On Nitro, Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc has come an gone and in it's wake, Sting is in the rafters! Macho Man has disappeared! The Rowdy One has risen! And the cruiserweights are... confused by their opponents. RAW gives us a very special Stone Cold episode while Bret Hart gets to work from home. All that a more from October 28, 1996 on Wrestling's Greatish War!

We're back! And what a world we've come back to! On this episode, we take a look at In House: Buried Alive, the following Raw and the last Nitro before Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc in the year of our lord 1996! Title changes! leather suits! Jobbers Jobbers and more Jobbers! Join Ian and Jeff as they triumphantly return to the warm spots nestled in your earholes!

This week's episode is knee deep in the saga, the sorrow, pure EMOTION of the Macho Man and Elizabeth. Will they reunite? Is she owned by Hogan and the NWO? Does Macho Man know how to operate an iPhone? Plus, on RAW Fake Razor and Fake Diesel... watch wrestling. All that and more as we recap October 14th, 1996 or die trying!

This week on Wrestling's Greatish War, EVERYTHING IS FINE! Raw's Fake Razor and Diesel project is FINE. Nitro's battle agains the NWO is FINE. Jeff Jarrett's career... Just FINE. We'll walk you through everything you need to know (and a bunch you wish you didn't) for both shows originally airing Oct 7, 1996!

This week on Wrestling's Greatish War: -Steve Austin and Jake Roberts have a great match! Fake Razor, does not! -WCW Tries to win Sting back as the NWO throws a party fit for a middle school! -Jeff tells his Hulk Hogan Story in a surprisingly musical episode! All this and more on Wrestling's Greatish War, covering WCW Nitro and WWF RAW for Sept 30, 1996!

This week, RAW and Nitro have their fiercest battle yet: The Battle To See Who Can Have a Worse Ending To Their Show! On Raw, it's literally one of the biggest blunders in wrestling history, and on Nitro it's... the same. A lot of the same. Like a whole hour of the same. The real question is, do Ian and Jeff escape unscathed? Find out on Wrestling's Greatish War for Sept 23, 1996!

This week on Wrestling's Greatish War, RAW and Nitro are back to going head to head! Raw is gearing up for In Your House: Mind Games, with the semi-finals of the IC tournament that Sycho Sid totally cares about. On Nitro, the NWO limo gets another, totally not stoned, seat filled while WCW watches one of their biggest stars walk right out the door... possibly to Japan. All that and more for Sept 16, 1996!

This week on Wrestling's Greatish War, we follow up a double Nitro episode with a double RAW! "Championship Friday" and a regular RAW give us some pretty interesting moving pieces. War Games is imminent on Nitro and the big question is Where is Sting? He's probably out scoping spots in the rafters and pricing trench coats. But that's not all! Ian and Jeff run you through everything you need to know for Sept 9, 1996!

aaaand We're Back! Get excited for a Double Nitro Episode! WCW was unopposed by a pre-empted RAW, so they had all the audience and pulled out all the stops! Big reveals, great matches and of course more than a little silliness in this special episode!

This week's Greatish War is all about surprises! Raw features a surprising new feud and a surprising return! Nitro is all about Sting and Luger having a surprise for the Horsemen... and the NWO! Join Jeff Moss and Ian Carey as they detail all the, well, details of the Monday Night War for Aug 19, 1996!

This week's show is as action-packed as the episodes of Nitro and Raw that it's about! On Raw, something's amiss with Ahmed Johnson's kidney and it's causing a world of trouble for Summerslam! On Nitro the NWO is officially here and they are ready to set some precedents, including some truly horrific nicknames. Find out what they are and what went down on Wrestling's Greatish War!

This week in Wrestling's Greatish War... never has so much happened, resulting in so little. It's a show that was as exhausting to record and edit as it was to watch. Raw shows a sign of life with a battle royal, but Nitro is all about the limos. Take a ride with Ian and Jeff and discover just how much goes into absolutely nothing as Nitro and Raw compete this week to see just how low they can set the bar for each other.

July 29, 1996 was a monumental night, both because Sycho Sid got an ovation no one will forget and because one of the most infamous NWO attacks took place in Orlando! Who will recover and who was left laying? Ian and Jeff walk you through the chaos and panic of one of the most notorious nights in the Monday Night War!

This week on Wrestling's Great(ish)War, we go into the tranches of July 22, 1996! RAW is reeling from the events of INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT, but not so much that Sunny didn't have time to bake a cake for Shawn Micheals! Over on the WCW side, the Horsemen have given up on Godot and are waiting for Ric Flair. Plus a limo arrives... That usually means good things on Nitro, right? RIGHT?!

This week it's the build up to a couple of big events in 1996 wrestling! On RAW they are building fast to the International Incident PPV and on Nitro they are staring down the road to Hog/Road Wild! Plus, Hulk Hogan addresses the crowd for the first time since his betrayal, Sid drives a car that's way to small for him and Jimmy Hart has a plan to beat the NWO! It's all here on Wrestling's Greatish War!

We're Back! It's a new year and a new era for pro wrestling as the events of Bash At The Beach are felt hard and deep by the WCW locker room. But what's this? In spite of a NWO in Atlanta, there's still a third man to be revealed... on RAW?! Join Ian and Jeff as the bring you up to speed on everything that happened in the Monday Night War on July 8, 1996!

This is it, friends. In WCW, it's all been building to this. Bash At The Beach, 1996. Team WCW vs The Outsiders and a mystery third man for control of WCW. We think. It's one of the biggest moments in the Monday Night War, and wrestling's history so Jeff and Ian are dedicating the whole episode to this one event. Will things ever be the same again?

This is it, soldiers! The last Monday Night Battle before everything changes. WCW is on high alert as the Bash At The Beach is just days away. Who is The Outsider's Third man? Will their invasion be a success? Does Disco Inferno factor into it? These questions and more on Nitro, while on Raw... some commentator related bickering. Oh yes, it's on and it's all on this week's episode of The Great(ish) War!

It's another great(ish) episode of The Great(ish)War!
