On this episode of Something To Wrestle, John Layfield and Conrad Thompson tackle a pair of topics guaranteed to get wrestling fans talking! First, the guys dissect recent comments from WWE Hall of Famer The Great Muta about the differences between second-generation wrestlers in Japan and the United States. Does growing up in the business give talent an advantage or create expectations that are almost impossible to live up to? John weighs in on how wrestling families are viewed on both sides of the world and whether a famous last name can be both a blessing and a curse. Then, John and Conrad dive headfirst into a debate professional wrestling may need to have: Should acting classes be mandatory for wrestlers? John explains why learning to act could be just as important as learning to bump, how better performance skills could improve promos and storytelling, and why today's talent could benefit from training that goes far beyond the wrestling ring. Plus, Curtain Jerkers is back! John and Casio welcome Gangrel for stories, laughs, and a look back at the unforgettable career of one of the Attitude Era's most distinctive characters.     THIS WEEKS SPONSORS BLUECHEW - When you buy two months of BlueChew Gold, you get the third FREE with promo code WRESTLE.

On this episode of 83 Weeks, Eric explains why WWE's return to traditional house shows could be a smart strategic move, and why those live events can play an important role in developing talent. That leads to a bigger discussion about wrestler development, as Eric makes the case for why acting classes should be mandatory for anyone trying to become a complete performer. Then, the guys debate SmackDown expanding to three hours and why Eric believes adding more television could be a risky move. Plus, they look back at the infamous "WHAT?!" chant and how it became the perfect example of an audience taking control of a live wrestling show.

One decision, one bell, and one referee turned a title match into a real-life rupture that fans still argue about decades later. We go deep on the Montreal Screwjob and why it hits harder than any “worked” twist: because the people involved believed the stakes were real, even if the sport is scripted.We trace the full road to Survivor Series 1997, starting with how Bret Hart becomes WWF's reliable standard in the post-steroid-scandal 90s, while Shawn Michaels becomes the era's most magnetic performer and most complicated teammate. Along the way, we revisit the moments that quietly load the chamber: WrestleMania 10's shifting spotlight, the WrestleMania 12 Iron Man Match as the ultimate proof of chemistry, the infamous lost smile speech, and Bret's role in launching Stone Cold Steve Austin into the stratosphere.Then we get to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where contract pressure, “reasonable creative control”, and Vince McMahon's paranoia collide. We break down what Bret asks for, what Vince fears, what Shawn agrees to, and why the Sharpshooter becomes the perfect trap. Finally, we unpack the aftermath: Bret's move to WCW, Shawn's later admission, the locker room reaction, and how the screwjob fuels the Mr McMahon character that helps define the Attitude Era.If you love wrestling history, backstage politics, and the thin line between kayfabe and betrayal, hit play, subscribe, and share this with a friend who still has a strong screwjob take.

Kliq This: The Kevin Nash Podcast

In this episode of Kliq This, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver dive headfirst into the chaotic reality of life on the road. Navigating treacherous travel delays and heart-pounding encounters with overly cautious Uber drivers, Kevin shares the gritty details of what happens when a simple trip from the airport turns into a test of patience and survival. Fans will want to buckle up as the wrestling legend breaks down his most recent journey through unpredictable skies and hazardous highways. The madness does not stop at the airport. Kevin finds himself dropped right into the middle of World Cup mania while staying at an unconventional New Jersey hotel. From braving a mobbed breakfast buffet to closely monitoring the dubious cooking methods of the hotel staff, he paints a hilarious picture of trying to maintain his sanity in a completely unpredictable environment. Listeners are guaranteed a few laughs as they hear about the daily grind of a massive superstar just trying to secure a clean egg white omelet. Beyond the travel nightmares, the duo also gets real about the incredible dedication it takes to hit massive protein goals while constantly on the move. Kevin reveals his exact airport survival strategy for securing enough protein to keep his gains on track, all while avoiding the hidden dangers lurking in average green room food. Packed with their signature wit and unfiltered stories, this episode offers a rare, behind the scenes look at the decidedly unglamorous side of a wrestling icon's daily life.

The Big Five Project returns to cover one of the threshold moments in WWE history as we continue to transition from the New Generation to the Attitude Era. On this episode, Dave and PC Tunney are thrilled to welcome Christopher Platt to the Big Five project for the very first time. On this installment, we review and analyze WrestleMania XIII. While certainly not the strongest of the Attitude Era WrestleManias, this March evening in Chicago, in 1997, would forever change the landscape of WWE. It was a night that saw the Undertaker win the WWF Championship for the first time in six years. It was also a night that saw a wild Street Fight between Chicago's favorite sons, the Legion of Doom, teaming up with Ahmed Johnson, to tangle with the Nation of Domination. On this evening, Rocky Maivia would make his WrestleMania debut and would share a WrestleMania moment with his father, Rocky Johnson. But, all of those pales in comparison to one of the greatest matches in WrestleMania history as Stone Cold Steve Austin and Bret "Hitman" Hart squared off in a brutal submission match, that would culminate in the most famous double turn in pro wrestling history.

Kurt Angle dismisses the EMTs from Stephanie McMahon's room, tells her he really cares for her, and kisses her to close the show. Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani break down the August 24, 2000 edition of WWF SmackDown, the final episode before SummerSlam 2000, live from the New Orleans Arena in New Orleans, Louisiana.The whole episode builds around one question: will Stephanie pick Triple H or Kurt Angle as her mixed tag partner? The McMahon family love triangle is at full boil, and the final two minutes of the show are, as Tommy puts it, maybe the most melodramatic moment in WWE history.Chris Jericho rolls out a Benoit photoshop promo that Tommy and Rob agree is well below the level of their blood feud, complete with Dr. Seuss rhymes. Benoit fires back with his own "picture." In the Tazz/Lawler saga, Tazz spray-paints Lawler's rental car, smashes the window, and finds J.R. in the passenger seat.Other major discussion points include:- Rikishi moons Right to Censor, wins his match against the Goodfather, and teases Stevie Richards with the stink face before Bull Buchanan pulls him out at the last second to save the heat for SummerSlam- The six-person tag (Trish/Val/Test vs Chyna, Eddie Guerrero, and Steve Blackman) ends when Val's nunchuck attack on Blackman backfires and takes out Test instead- Kurt Angle pitches himself as Stephanie's partner backstage, promising the match won't last more than three minutes. Triple H then storms out when Stephanie suggests Angle made good points about the hothead thing, proving the critique in real time- Road Dogg and X-Pac lose a handicap match to Undertaker in what Tommy and Rob call the least heated angle heading into SummerSlam- A full breakdown of the SummerSlam 2000 card- The WWF's SmackDown Your Vote campaign, a partnership with MTV's Rock the Vote driven by the looming threat of censorship from the Parent Television Council---Just announced!

Lita wins the Women's Championship from Stephanie McMahon with The Rock as special guest referee in a main event! Tommy Blacha calls one of the greatest convoluted booked gaga matches of the Attitude Era. Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani break down the August 21, 2000 edition of WWF Monday Night Raw, live from the Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana, six days before SummerSlam 2000.The show opens with The Rock cutting a Louisiana-specific promo before Mick Foley gives him the night off and announces two title matches for the evening: Shane McMahon vs. Steve Blackman for the Hardcore Championship and Stephanie's Women's Championship defense against Lita, with The Rock serving as special guest referee. In the chaotic main event, Triple H and Kurt Angle accompany Stephanie to ringside with the Hardy Boys in Lita's corner. At the decisive moment, Angle accidentally nails Triple H with a belt while trying to interfere, The Rock delivers a Rock Bottom to Angle, and Lita hits a moonsault on Stephanie to win the Women's Championship.Earlier in the night, Shane McMahon sneaks a kendo stick into the Hardcore title match and cracks Steve Blackman across the skull to steal the championship, only for Foley to immediately book him into a rematch at SummerSlam. In their tag match, Triple H pins Farooq for the win but conspicuously hangs back while Bradshaw drops Kurt Angle with a Clothesline from Hell, planting seeds of tension between the two allies heading into Sunday.Other major discussion points include:- Mick Foley adds a wrinkle to the IC title picture: if Eddie Guerrero or Chyna pins Val Venis or Trish Stratus in their tag match, they become the new Intercontinental Champion- Kane destroys Rikishi with three vicious chair shots before Right to Censor prevents Too Cool from making the save- Jerry Lawler hides behind a pile of equipment backstage and drops it on an unsuspecting Taz to get his revenge before sliding back out to commentary- Tommy reads from both the Wrestling Observer and the Pro Wrestling Torch on why Big Show was sent home, covering conditioning concerns, attitude, and a herniated disc- Kurt Angle tells Stephanie he's thinking of leaving the McMahon family; Stephanie begs him to stay in a scene Tommy credits to writer Brian Gewirtz- Steve Austin has been medically cleared and is expected back imminently---Just announced!

Rather than pick The Rock's opponent himself, Foley forces the McMahon camp to vote among themselves — with Shane volunteering first before the group ultimately settles on Triple H.

In the main event, Shawn Michaels challenges The British Bulldog for the European Championship in front of a passionate hometown crowd that expected to witness Bulldog's crowning moment. Instead, the WWF delivers one of the most debated booking decisions of the era, creating a memorable and emotional conclusion that would have lasting ramifications for the Hart Foundation and the road to Survivor Series. Elsewhere on the card, Bret Hart battles Undertaker, Owen Hart clashes with Vader, and Dude Love takes on Hunter Hearst-Helmsley as the WWF continues its rapid evolution toward the Attitude Era. JT & Chad discuss the unique atmosphere of a major WWF event held overseas, the crowd reactions throughout the night, and how the company balanced its international audience with its ongoing storylines.

The Monday Night Wars continue to escalate as Wrestling War Zone returns with JT & Chad breaking down WCW Monday Nitro and WWF Raw is War from September 15, 1997. WCW rolls forward following Fall Brawl as the nWo's grip on the company remains stronger than ever, while tensions continue to build between the black-and-white faction and WCW loyalists. With the fallout from Curt Hennig's betrayal of the Four Horsemen still fresh, Nitro pushes deeper into the chaos that defined WCW's unforgettable 1997 run.

Stone Cold Steve Austin remains the company's biggest disruptor as his issues with Vince McMahon and the Hart Foundation continue escalating.

In this PWTorch Dailycast series titled "Worse or Better," Josh White and Stephanie Chase discuss one aspect of today's pro wrestling scene and compare it to a previous era or eras and decide if today is... worse or better. Stephanie and Josh were quick to determine that there are too many titles before moving on to discuss the difference between current-day WWE and AEW in regard to the sheer number of titles. They marched through the early days of WWE and the establishment of the Intercontinental Title, the Attitude Era and WCW during that period, and finally, the brand split, which brought on even more titles. Discussion flowed back into AEW and their obsession with titles during their short history and non-title trinkets before Josh and Steph made a final decision on whether or not the midcard title situation of today is worse or better than previous eras.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pwtorch-dailycast--3276210/support.
