WCW heads to Australia to tap into a new market. While the crowds are hot, Thunder is still more or less the same. The hottest goss happened not backstage but in a hotel lobby and involved Juventud Guerrera and the letters "P" and "C" after a night of partying. We also get the on-screen debut of Australian kickboxing legend Sam Greco! Thankfully Stevie Ray is on commentary for Greco's debut. Plus, Bill Goldberg wrestles, the Natural Born Thrillers defend their WCW Tag Team Championship, and Kevin Nash finds the smallest door in Australia to walk through.  Follow us on Instagram @GetItAgainPodcast Got 2 (or more) words for us?

The Jericho Chronicles hit London in July, and featured stories about some of the biggest matches and feuds of Jericho's career. Hear details behind his first-ever match which was at the Moose Hall in Ponoka, Alberta, Canada, his time with CMLL in Mexico, and how he made his way to Japan. He details a couple of the best matches he had with Ultimo Dragon while in Japan, and how a young Mick Foley happened to be in the audience and went back to the States to tell Paul Heyman about what he'd seen. Chris describes the year-long effort it took to get to ECW and Heyman, how that segued into WCW. He breaks down the mask vs title match he had against Juventud Guerrera. He runs down all the circumstances leading up to a trifecta of different matches with Triple H once he got to WWE – including Last Man Standing, and Hell In A Cell Judgement Day. He remembers his favorite Shawn Michaels feud, working with Rey Mysterio in 2009, and Kevin Owens and the Festival of Friendship. He talks about Kenny Omega at the Tokyo Dome, the Mimosa Mayhem on AEW Dynamite during the pandemic, Stadium Stampede, and taking the giant swing from Claudio Castagnoli on top of the cage at AEW Blood and Guts.Please support our sponsors!Toyota: Visit https://toyota.com/GRFamily to find your perfect Toyota!FanDuel: download the FanDuel app & use promo code JERICHO to get a “No Sweat First Bet” up to $1000Cynch: download the Cynch app or go https://www.cynch.com/ and get your first tank exchange for $10 with code JERICHO.Bosch Tools: learn more at https://www.boschtools.com/us/en/SlingTV: check out https://www.sling.com/ for special offers STAY CONNECTED:TikTok: @TalkIsJerichoInstagram: @talkisjericho @chrisjerichofozzyTwitter: @TalkIsJericho @IAmJerichoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChrisJerichoFozzyhttps://www.webisjericho.com/
