On this special edition of Grilling JR, Jim Ross and guest host Paul Bromwell celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of the most pivotal and unforgettable years in the legendary career of The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels. Join JR and Paul as they revisit a defining moment in wrestling history and the event that forever changed Shawn's career trajectory. The guys travel back to WrestleMania XII, held on March 31, 1996, at the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim in Anaheim, California. In the night's historic main event, Shawn Michaels fulfilled his lifelong dream by defeating Bret "Hitman" Hart in a grueling 60-minute Iron Man Match to capture his first WWF Championship. JR shares his memories of calling one of the most talked-about matches in WrestleMania history and discusses the significance of the iconic "Boyhood Dream Has Come True" moment that has become synonymous with Shawn Michaels' legacy. But WrestleMania XII was about much more than just the main event. JR and Paul dive into the major stories surrounding the WWF at the time, including Scott Hall and Kevin Nash giving notice and preparing to leave for WCW, the infamous Billionaire Ted skits that fueled the Monday Night War, and the surprising return of "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. The conversation also covers the chaotic Hollywood Backlot Brawl between Piper and Goldust, Ultimate Warrior's lightning-fast return match against Hunter Hearst Helmsley, The Undertaker's clash with Diesel, and the unique atmosphere surrounding a company on the verge of massive change. From Shawn Michaels' crowning achievement to the behind-the-scenes developments that helped reshape the wrestling industry, JR and Paul break down all the action, controversy, and history from one of the most important WrestleManias of all time.

Thirty years ago, the landscape of professional wrestling changed forever. On this special edition of Grilling JR, Jim Ross and Conrad Thompson celebrate the 30th anniversary of King of the Ring 1996, one of the most influential events in WWE history. Join JR and Conrad as they revisit the action from June 23, 1996, at the MECCA Arena in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the future of the business was shaped before our eyes. The card featured Shawn Michaels defending the WWF Championship against The British Bulldog, Ahmed Johnson battling Goldust, and Ultimate Warrior colliding with Jerry "The King" Lawler. But history belongs to one man. Relive the unforgettable night "Stone Cold" Steve Austin captured the King of the Ring crown and delivered the legendary "Austin 3:16" speech that launched one of the greatest careers in wrestling history and helped ignite the Attitude Era. JR shares behind-the-scenes stories, memories from the event, and his perspective on one of the most important turning points the wrestling business has ever seen.

It's the Pay Per View that buries itself! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys examine one of the weakest Pay Per Views in recent memory, full of disappointing moments in some surprising places. The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mankind and the Rock all end up with low star counts, while the undercard does its best to prop the show up. D-Lo Brown and Mark Henry delivered, and so did Goldust. Don't forget about that special treat though: Debra's Tastykakes!
In honor of WrestleMania 42 having just ended, Greg and Dane for Episode 50 look at WrestleMania 30 years ago with WrestleMania XII from Anaheim at the Pond. We have the Iron Man match for the WWF Title between Bret and Shawn, a Hollywood Backlot Brawl between Goldust and Roddy Piper, and The Undertaker facing Diesel. Also, we get a weird case of deja vu while watching the PPV for some reason. NOTE: We obviously taped this two days before Night 1 of Mania so enjoy how right or wrong we were with our predictions for this year's Mania at the start.

The Monday Night Wars continue on Wrestling War Zone, and this week JT & Chad break down WWF In Your House: Ground Zero from September 7, 1997 — a pivotal pay-per-view that helped push the WWF deeper into the Attitude Era. In the main event, Shawn Michaels faces The Undertaker in their first-ever singles match, but the night descends into chaos as the bout spirals into a wild no contest. JT & Chad dig into the intensity of the Michaels-Undertaker rivalry, the atmosphere in Louisville, and how this match helped set the table for the even bigger confrontation that followed one month later. Elsewhere on the card, Bret Hart defends the WWF Championship against The Patriot, with the Hart Foundation's anti-American storyline remaining one of the company's defining angles of 1997. The guys also discuss Brian Pillman vs. Goldust, including the infamous stipulation involving Marlena, the four-way tag title match where The Headbangers win the vacant WWF Tag Team Championship, and Stone Cold Steve Austin's interference that creates more chaos around Owen Hart and the tag division. JT & Chad break down the full show, including: Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker in their first singles meeting Bret Hart vs. The Patriot for the WWF Championship The Headbangers winning the vacant WWF Tag Team Titles Stone Cold Steve Austin's involvement in the tag title match Brian Pillman vs. Goldust and the Marlena stipulation How Ground Zero fits into WWF's transition into the Attitude Era Was Ground Zero an underrated turning point in late-1997 WWF? How well does the show hold up compared to the other key events from this stretch of the Monday Night Wars?

This episode of Kliq This wastes no time setting the tone. Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver come in hot, questioning the rituals people pretend still matter and poking holes in the way grown adults convince themselves certain days are special. The conversation immediately makes it clear that this is not a celebration episode. It is a reality check delivered with zero patience. From there, the show spirals into the kind of unpredictable territory listeners expect but never quite anticipate. Cultural habits, public hypocrisy, and modern obsessions are dissected in a way that feels reckless on the surface and oddly precise underneath. The humor lands because it is rooted in lived experience, not hot takes for clicks. The episode also taps into how technology, media, and trends quietly reshape behavior without anyone stopping to ask why. The discussion veers into places most podcasts would never touch, blending uncomfortable truths with offhand jokes that linger longer than expected. It is the kind of segment that makes listeners laugh first and then pause afterward. As the episode unfolds, Nash brings perspective that only comes from decades in wrestling, entertainment, and watching cycles repeat themselves. Observations about performers, audiences, and what actually matters when the lights are on cut through nostalgia and online noise. There is an underlying question throughout about what draws money versus what just draws reactions. By the end, the episode feels less like a recap of topics and more like a snapshot of how these conversations naturally evolve when nothing is off limits. It is loose, opinionated, and unapologetically unfiltered. For listeners who prefer honesty over polish, this one delivers exactly that.

Hold on to your wheelchair, it's going to be a weird one! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys examine a "tweener" Pay Per View, a culmination of Stone Cold Steve Austin versus Vince McMahon, and anyone else that might fit on the card. Matches featuring the Rock, Ken Shamrock, Mark Henry and Mankind are crowd favorites, while the return of Goldust leaves a little something to be desired. Goodbye Rattlesnake!

WWF IN YOUR HOUSE: BURIED ALIVE REWIND!WWF In Your House: Buried Alive was the 11th In Your House pay-per-view offering from the revolutionary force in sports entertainment, and it took place on October 20, 1996 at the Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 1996, the World Wrestling Federation was trying some new things, especially with the nWo angle in World Championship Wrestling beginning to take off in popularity. This Buried Alive Match was one of those things, and simply put, the winner would have to bury his opponent alive. We take a deep dive, no pun intended, into the pay-per-view, where many parts were moving: Jim Ross was a heel, the show opened with a heel vs. heel match, Owen Hart/British Bulldog and the Smoking Gunns having another terrible ending to their second straight pay-per-view match, Marc Mero blew out his knee, Goldust threatened to stick his tongue down everyone's throats, Sid being super over at this time, the entrance gate, and just how much "buried alive" is buried alive? We also throw in some tidbits on the 1993 Phillies, so press play!
Everyone knows that Vinnie's got a sweet tooth! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys are treated to another of the most iconic scenes in wrestling history: Vince McMahon's time in the hospital. The night gets rounded out with matches from Ken Shamrock, D-Lo Brown, and Al Snow, despite the Headbangers and ICP trying to ruin the night. Mark Henry sues Chyna for sexual harassment, and we're all invited to Goldust's premiere next week. There's nothing quite like the ringing of a bedpan!
The Big Five Project returns and, with it, we begin to draw ever closer to the birth of the Attitude Era. Things start to take shape here at the 1996 edition of the Royal Rumble. On this January night in Fresno, CA, we saw Goldust emerge as a force to be reckoned with as he dethroned Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Championship. The Smoking Guns overcame the distraction of Sunny to retain the WWF Tag Team Championship. The Rumble match itself would see the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels, become only the second man to win back-to-back Rumbles, overcoming 29 other men, including his best friend Diesel, to punch his ticket to the Main Event of WrestleMania XII. He would end up facing Bret "The Hitman" Hart there, as the WWF Championship match between The Hitman and The Undertaker ended in a no-contest. All in all, it is a good, but not great, event. Despite that, the event also saw someone who would turn into a stone-cold giant in the industry make his Big Five debut. All the tumblers were slowly falling into place, and we have all the details for you here on another epic installment of the Big Five Project!About the Chairshot Radio NetworkLaunched in 2017, the Chairshot Radio Network presents you with the best in sports, entertainment, and sports entertainment.

Road Trip After Hours w/ WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and Host Mac Davis
The show opens with a running joke about our cursed intro music—then swerves into one of our most heated segments: the impossible choices. We ask Teddy Long to pick who he'd retire between John Cena, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes; who he'd release between Seth Rollins, Jey Uso, and Logan Paul; and who he'd revive between Eddie Guerrero, Hulk Hogan, and Bray Wyatt. The answers are honest, surprising, and deeply human, grounded in a lifetime of watching stars rise, stumble, and become legends.From there, we trade stories that bring history to life. Teddy remembers Bray as a kid guarding a gear bag with a loyal dog and breaks down why Eddie's charisma and timing were unmatched—down to a small note on a frog splash that shows how perfectionists think. We share memories of Balls Mahoney's laughter, Cowboy Bob Orton's road days, Fit Finley's toughness and mentorship, Goldust's early years, and a tense moment where Vince McMahon left Gorilla like a thunderbolt. There's even a tasteful peek inside Vince's birthday celebration—family, music, and a rare keepsake that says more about trust than any headline.If you're trying to break into wrestling, this one's a blueprint. Teddy lays out why education comes first, how to plan for injuries and uncertainty, and where indies are failing the next generation: few teach promos, character, and show-business fundamentals. We offer concrete fixes—early call times, Q&A, storytelling drills, and veteran-led sessions—to help indie promotions build talent that can talk, connect, and move seamlessly to TV. Fans get a seat at the table; aspiring wrestlers get real steps forward; everyone gets a reminder that the ring is built on people as much as spectacle.Join the conversation, tell us your picks for retire/release/revive, and send your intro music ideas. If you enjoy the show, follow, share with a friend who loves wrestling, and leave a quick review to help more fans find us.Send us a text
