This week on Legends & Champions, we're heading to Boston for Survivor Series 1993 — a turning-point PPV where the New Generation era truly began to take shape. The Hulkamania shadows were fading, new stars were rising, and the WWF was trying to prove it could evolve without its biggest icon. We dig into everything from the All-Americans vs. The Foreign Fanatics — and the backstage drama that led to Luger replacing Hogan as the patriotic torchbearer — to the legendary Hart Family vs. Shawn Michaels & His Knights showdown, featuring Brett's master-class storytelling and the seeds of an epic family feud. Plus: Undertaker in the stars-and-stripes, Doink-filled chaos, and the kind of early-90s WWF weirdness that only Survivor Series could deliver. Was the event a bold new chapter or an awkward transition? We break it all down — the matches, the promos, the politics, and how this PPV set the stage for the mid-90s revolution to come. Dust off the tassels, fire up that Coliseum Video nostalgia, and join us for a deep dive into Survivor Series ‘93. Legends & Champions — Where wrestling's legacy lives and legends never fade.

This week on Legends & Champions, we're stepping back into the golden age of WWF to dissect Survivor Series 1990 — a night of wild gimmicks, legendary debuts, and one… unforgettable giant bird.  From the birth of The Undertaker and a stunned Ted DiBiase to the infamous Gobbledy Gooker reveal that left the crowd scratching their heads, we break down every moment that made this event a bizarre yet iconic chapter in wrestling history. We look at how the traditional elimination format evolved, why the Grand Finale Match of Survival was a one-time experiment, and what this pay-per-view tells us about Vince McMahon's creative mindset at the dawn of the 90s. Expect nostalgia and the kind of wrestling analysis only true students of the squared circle can deliver. Grab your foam finger, lace up your boots — it's time to revisit Survivor Series '90.  Legends & Champions — Where wrestling's past becomes legend and its icons become immortal.

In this haunting Halloween special, Legends and Champions dives deep into the eerie brilliance of Windham Rotunda, the man who blurred the line between reality and nightmare inside the squared circle. From the charismatic cult leader Bray Wyatt to the terrifying alter-ego of The Fiend, Rotunda reinvented fear in professional wrestling, turning storytelling into a psychological art form. Join us as we unravel the dark creativity, family legacy, and tragic genius behind one of wrestling's most innovative minds. Featuring chilling sound design, rare archival moments, and commentary from wrestlers and fans who witnessed his evolution firsthand, this episode explores how Windham's imagination reshaped sports entertainment — and why his legacy feels more alive than ever this Halloween.

Halloween is coming, the ghouls, witches and WCW pay per views are re-airing so this week we break down WCW Halloween Havoc 95.  It goes down in history for being known for the death of the Giant, the introduction of monster trucks and well, just general WCW chaos.

We explore his incredible journey through the AWA, WWE, and WCW, the brilliance of his commentary alongside Gorilla Monsoon, and the sharp wit that made him one of the greatest talkers of all time.

Mike McGuire shares a couple stories from this past weekend, including events with Special Olympics Alberta and Southern Alberta's Pure Power Wrestling - an indy promotion that shows how hard work pays off, big! Also, updates on a Super Bowl commercial that has some Macho Man fans shouting "foul", one of the Headshrinkers is facing a medical challenge, Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling's next shows have been announced, and much more! To close things off, from Legends and Champions, Andy Evans joins us to talk about his show, some of the experiences he's had in telling some of the greatest stories in wrestling's past, and chats about some current events.
