The Legends and Champions podcast is turning back the clock to one of the most monumental and controversial nights in professional wrestling history. In its upcoming episode, the show will provide a deep dive into the 2001 Survivor Series, the epic culmination of the chaotic and unforgettable Invasion angle. Twenty-four years ago, the war between the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and The Alliance (a coalition of World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling) reached its boiling point. The main event was a "Winner Take All" 5-on-5 Survivor Series elimination match that promised to forever change the landscape of sports entertainment. Join the Legends and Champions crew as they break down the star-studded main event that pitted Team WWF's The Rock, Chris Jericho, The Undertaker, Kane, and Big Show against The Alliance's "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, Booker T, and Shane McMahon. The podcast will analyze the shocking betrayal that led to the downfall of The Alliance and dissect the lasting impact of this legendary match. Survivor Series 2001 was more than just a pay-per-view; it was the explosive conclusion to a storyline that brought together the biggest names from three major promotions, We'll explore the incredible pressure these athletes were under and the moments that have been etched in wrestling fans' memories for over two decades. Beyond the iconic main event, the episode will also revisit the stacked undercard, which featured several high-stakes title unification matches, including: WCW United States Championship vs. WWF Intercontinental Championship: Edge vs. Test WCW Tag Team Championship vs. WWF Tag Team Championship in a Steel Cage: The Dudley Boyz vs. The Hardy Boyz You can expect a nostalgic journey, filled with expert analysis, little-known details, and a celebration of the legendary figures who defined an era.

If you listen to one podcast on this feed this year, make it this one. Sage "Mo" Morin presents as a proud Indigenous woman who wrestles across Canada and beyond. That is just the past 3 years of her story though. Behind "The Matriarch", the proud Cree Warrior that comes to the ring in traditional influenced gear and rocks to the ring to Halluci Nation's "Electric Pow Wow" is a loving mother who has endured the challenges of growing up in Canada during a journey of reconciliation. That is a challenge shared by millions, but would only be exacerbated later in her life, as she and her family would suffer a level of tragedy that few may ever understand. Listener discretion is advised, as this conversation includes topics that may be disturbing to some.
