A proposed 18-20 storey residential tower that was set to be put up in Stoney Creek has just been rejected by the Ontario Land Tribunal. Is this a sign of NIMBYism in Hamilton, or could this actually be beneficial to all residents in the area? Host Alex Pierson is joined by Hamilton City Councillor for Ward 5 Matt Francis to help explain that this is not the start of a bad thing, but a move that will improve the area for all.

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: Wednesday's passage of a Conservative motion came a day later than the party originally hoped for after debate around amendments stretched until the end of the allotted meeting time. This week we heard BlackBerry is making moves to become the go-to company for designing the operating systems for cars. Beyoncé has gone country and become the first black woman to top the Billboard Country Music chart, and we're due to get four interconnected movies about The Beatles, from director Sam Mendes! Yesterday we spoke with Ward 5 councillor Matt Francis about the vote that saw two parking lots in Stoney Creek preserved rather than marked to be converted into affordable housing but the story doesn't end there. Just before the show began, the Liberals and the NDP have a pharmacare deal, according to New Democrat Party leader Jagmeet Singh... let's bring him on and find out more! Embarrassment or National Security: What are the reasons for withholding details around the firing of scientists in the Winnipeg Lab Leak scandal? How can you tell the difference between these reasons for not releasing information? The saga of the GFL Landfill in Stoney Creek, and the odours that neighbours are reporting coming from it, continues. While speaking with our colleague John Oakley at 640 in Toronto, Ontario Premier Doug Ford took a rare swing at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Radley: Sitting in the comfort of your living room might make playing a game show like ‘Jeopardy!' seem easy, but it's a lot different when you are up at the podium, phrasing your answer in the form of a question. Is it going to be one of the best Grey Cup performances of all time? Which other acts would you rank as some of the best? What do you think of replacing fireworks on Canada Day – and for other Hamiltonian events – with laser shows and drone displays? Complaints coming in to a city hotline continue to rise, year over year, with some 159 reported between July 2022 and July of this year –a 49 per cent increase from the prior reporting period. We look at Hamilton City Council and Mayor Horwath's first year sitting. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast!

This week on Wrestling Omakase we take a completely randomized look back at the "granddaddy of them all", WCW Starrcade!John is joined by returning guest & VOW contributor Matt Francis (@archivingmatt) for his third WCW Retro Roulette episode of the year! Before they get into the episode topic John discusses attending AEW's Dynamite/Rampage taping at UBS Arena on Long Island this past Wednesday, including a little bit about how people apparently don't understand what crowd numbers in certain buildings actually mean. Once that's all out of the way they get into this episode's randomly selected six matches from six randomly selected years of WCW Starrcade- if you want to be surprised you should stop reading now and go ahead and listen, but otherwise here they are below (all can be found on Peacock in the US and WWE Network in the rest of the world):1994: Johnny B. Badd vs. Arn Anderson (World TV Title)1995: Randy Savage vs. Hiroyoshi Tenzan (World Cup of Wrestling)1996: Hollywood Hogan vs. Roddy Piper1997: Eddie Guerrero vs. Dean Malenko (Cruiserweight Title)1998: Goldberg vs. Kevin Nash (World Heavyweight Title)2000: Mike Awesome vs. Bam Bam Bigelow (Ambulance Match)Topics that come up along the way include: Honky Tonk Man is mad about his lack of a contract, Arn Anderson is a more than suitable replacement, Johnny B. Badd was more popular than you probably remember, the WORLD CUP OF WRESTLING draws a bad buy rate, WCW can't spell Tenzan, Savage was pretty bad at this point, a match that looks awesome on paper just doesn't live up to it at all, how fitting that was for one of the biggest letdown PPVs of all time, nobody remembers how over Kevin Nash was at the time (and WCW flushed it down the toilet!), when backstage politics attack, THE WRATH OF THE CATTLE PROD, very unconvincing disguises, WCW's "unique" booking for Mike Awesome, camera shots that give away gimmicked ambulance roofs, and a whole lot more.Follow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter to submit questions for future episodes and get alerts every time new episodes go up- @wrestleomakase!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on Wrestling Omakase we take our second completely randomized look back at WCW's annual spooktacular, Halloween Havoc!John is joined by returning guest Matt Francis (@archivingmatt), as they start out with a bit of a longer off-topic discussion than usual. John & Matt discuss weird trick or treat times before John gets into the recent announcement that the Wrestling Omakase Patreon will be going on hiatus (although you can still check out the rather extensive archives at any time for only $5, as John goes over on the episode- http://patreon.com/wrestlingomakase), and that then evolves into a discussion on why the current state of wrestling and wrestling discussion isn't doing a lot for either of them. Once that's out of the way they get into the actual topic, which is six randomly selected matches from six randomly selected years of WCW's annual Halloween Havoc pay-per-view. If you'd like to be surprised you can of course stop reading here, but if you'd like to know ahead of time what matches we got, please see below (all can be found on Peacock in the US and WWE Network elsewhere):1990: Rick & Scott Steiner vs. The Nasty Boys1991: Oz vs. Bill Kazmaier1992: Big Van Vader vs. Nikita Koloff1994: Arn Anderson vs. Dustin Rhodes1995: Hulk Hogan vs. The Giant1999: Sting vs. GoldbergTopics that come up along the way include: a strangely fun Nasty Boys match, why wouldn't you have these guys under contract before you start this big feud, the no longer Great or Powerful Oz, the weird and short career of Bill Kazmaier that took him from Stampede to RINGS to WCW, WCW announcers spending more time about New Japan's next Tokyo Dome show than the match they're supposed to be calling, Dustin Rhodes not listening to Arn Anderson when he's talking, a weirdly non-grudge feeling grudge match, the start of crash TV era 90s wrestling is right here, Hulk Hogan's weird "darkside" gimmick, the SUMO MONSTER TRUCK MATCH, the Giant dies and then rises from the grave in the span of about 15 minutes, Vince Russo takes over WCW and immediately does away with all their existing storylines, the "pin me may me" Hogan angle that no one even remembers, Sting really never said this was for the WCW title did he, and finally: Madusa kicking ass.Follow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter to submit questions for future episodes and get alerts every time new episodes go up- @wrestleomakase!Wrestling Omakase has dedicated channels on TWO Discords!
