Being that the score was not settled at Halloween Havoc (Settling the Score), Ric Flair and Terry Funk decided to, once and for all, settle the score. This time, they will face off in an "I Quit" match. Also, Jim Cornette seems to be paying a lot of attention to his new tag team The Dynamic Dudes, and the Midnight Express is not exactly jazzed about it. This PPV was short, fun, and ultimately score settling. First, the Snark Marks talk about Black Friday shopping and share a few memories of working at a bank together.

WrestleWar 1989 answered the age-old question "can you have too much of a good thing?" Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat faced off for their third consecutive five-star match, but the matchup is beginning to feel stale. In fairness, it doesn't help that we watched them in consecutive weeks rather than waiting months like wrestling fans did. It was, however, the best part of a mostly flaccid wrestling program. Michael Hayes does some classic PS stuff and we get a Bam Bam Gordy appearance, and we also get introduced to the Dynamic Dudes, but neither of those two things are worth watching Sting try to have a wrestling match with the immobile object and Twitter superstar Iron Sheik. Wrestlewar '89 was the worst PPV we have watched thus far in this season, but at least Hulk Hogan never showed up. In the intro, the Snark Marks get heated because Dusty pledged his fealty to the Western Bacon Cheeseburger over In N Out burger. For those worried, he is properly taken to task. 00:00 - 15:34 Dusty is wrong about cheeseburgers 15:34 - 2:00:16 WrestleWar 1989 Follow us on Facebook and Instagram @SnarkMarksPod and subscribe to our YouTube channel!

DragonKingKarl A-Z of pro wrestling history series continues by looking at The Franchise of ECW- Shane Douglas. Shane Douglas started out in the 1980s in the later days of the territories. Trained by Killer Kowalski alongside Mick Foley, Douglas broke out in Bill Watts' UWF territory and later Continental before landing in WCW and part of the ill fated Dynamic Dudes tag team with Johnny Ace and a tag team title reign with Ricky Steamboat. But it wasn't until throwing down the NWA World title and the counter-culture ECW rose to prominence that Shane Douglas found his true calling. This episode we discuss the career of Shane Douglas.
It's the midst of the Jim Herd era in WCW and this seven match card had some good moments and some bad ones as well. The good featured a Ric Flair vs Lex Luger NWA World Title matchup that was basically a substitute match due to Sting's knee injury. Plus the Rock and Roll Express and the Midnight Express with Jim Cornette put on yet another tag team classic. Also featured are the Road Warriors, the Steiners, Doom, Kevin Sullivan, Buzz Sawyer, Cactus Jack, Norman, the Dynamic Dudes, Brian Pillman, the Z-Man, the Freebirds, Teddy Long and a pre-Undertaker wrestler named Mark Callous. A new decade begins with plenty of good and bad wrestling and plenty of turmoil for the TBS owned World Championship Wrestling.

After realizing how deep we were into the show, Ray calls an audible and elects to cover just one week of NWA TV this week for the sake of quality over quantity! And with the Power Hour on Saturday Night this week, we kick things off with… NWA Pro 8/12/89 (01:02:45) It's Match #2 in the Scientific Series between Dr. Death & Mike Rotunda.

It's more of a recap show this week though we do wind up seeing the final match, Match #3, in the Scientific Series between Dr. Death vs. Mike Rotunda, only now it's somehow morphed from a scientific series in a No Holds Barred match… Yeah, we have no idea either…. Listen as Steve's head explodes while he tries to compute all of the poor production management over the weekend of the 12th. It's a fun time trying to make sense of all of this… or at least fun listening as Steve tries to hold it together… A Teaser For Next Week – Poor Production Continues… (03:01:35) It's the NWA at it's finest… but not really. We take a very brief look at next week's episode of the Grenade that features two major faux pas on the 6:05 WCW program. First, on 8/19 the wrong tape airs, and the NWA re-airs an episode of WCW from 3 weeks prior! Then on 8/26 the production team forget to press record during the main event match and angles during the taping and have to call an emergency taping to fix the issue. Because WCW.

It's time for season 2!Welcome to the newly christened Haunted House Show podcast. For the next 12 weeks we will take a look at the entire NWA/WCW Halloween Havoc series. Every year. Every match. Your trios tag team champions will carry over the top 5 matches and top 5 shows rankings just like we did for In Your House.NWA/WCW was a different beast than the WWF product at the time. More emphasis on wrestling instead of sports entertainment. This inaugural event features many familiar faces in more serious personas.Tonight's show took place October 28, 1989 at the Civic Center for 7300 fans in one of the greatest cities for wrestling: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Jim Ross and Bob Caudle call the action. Gordon Solie and Chris Cruise do all of the backstage interviews. Everything about this show is different than what the WWF In Your House series showed.

Matty Treats talks about his terrible work week. We talk about the strangest things we've ever done on a lunch break. Goodwill finds. Filthy retail stories. Heel announcers. Comparing WWF work to NWA work. A surprising amount of body discussion. All of the match break downs and opinions you've come to love. Which match will be the Hot Tag of the Week?! Plus the story of "Yum". Tonight's matches include: Tom Zenk vs. Mike Rotunda.The Samoan SWAT Team (Fatu, Samu, and the Samoan Savage) (with Oliver Humperdink) vs. The Midnight Express and Steve Williams (with Jim Cornette).Tommy Rich vs. The Cuban Assassin.The Fabulous Freebirds (NWA tag team champions) vs. The Dynamic Dudes (with Jim Cornette).Doom (with Woman) vs. The Steiner Brothers.
