While Hulk Hogan may have signed with WCW in 1994, Lex Luger debuted on Nitro in 1995, and even Alundra Blayze would throw the WWF Women's Title in the garbage that same year, it was arguably Vince McMahon who actually took the first shots in what would eventually be the company war of WWF vs. WCW. All the back in 1984, before WrestleMania, Monday Night Raw, or even the widespread of cable or pay-per-view, Vince McMahon appeared on TBS and brought what would later be dubbed "sports entertainment" to the southern rasslin' fans. In addition to this, Zach and Pat also provide insight from the modern day perspective, all three hosts discuss some current AEW vs WWE topics and how we could be on the precipice of a brand new boom period in professional wrestling.

Payne, Zach also picked the show this week and chose a unique piece found on WWE Network. It's a house show of sorts from 1991 highlighted (but questionably not main evented) by 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair taking on 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper! (NOTE: In the closing bit of the episode, Paul mistakenly identified absent co-host Pat Kasch's Twitter handle. It is KingKasch22 )

DISCUSSED: NWA-TNA Chapter 1 It's time to step outside the Renegades 'comfort zone'. Little did they know that stepping into what would be later known as the 'Impact Zone', would make them even more uncomfortable than initially thought. It's the first ever weekly pay-per-view of National Wrestling Alliance: Total Nonstop Action. Zach and Paul walk away from the episode clutching their heads, not understanding anything. Whether it's burying the company you're in business with, celebrating the south by making fun of them, unsubtle hints at racism in 2002, and much more, NWA:TNA raises more questions than it ever answered. There's also some news and rumors from elsewhere in the world of professional wrestling. Normally we refer to it as "the whacky world of pro wrestling", but trust us, nothing is whackier than NWA:TNA.

Zach and Paul are joined by good friend, wrestling historian, and podcasting powerhouse, Kevin Zane. Kevin got to pick the topic this week and he brought one of the more interesting choices in the history of Wrestling Renegades. It's various segments from ECW Hardcore TV in 1995 (time codes included below). These segments provide the blueprint for what would become the biggest star in the Attitude Era (if not wrestling overall), 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. But here, he's simply Steve Austin. See the man go through the transformation from angry over being fired via telephone to one of the best promo guys in the business. This is "The Genesis of Stone Cold Steve Austin".
