We're just gonna pretend like it never happened!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys sit down to talk about another “Brawl 4 All”-era Monday Night Raw, where the only thing more common than the ruined careers are “we want wrestling” chants.  Dan “The Beast” Severn boxes with the Godfather, and the New Midnight Express' choice to box each other leads to a cataclysmic breakup.  Mick's shoulder is still messed up, can we raise his arm if it's to give him a Tag Tile?

Who's looking forward to a tag team royal rumble match? In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the bracket season is in full swing in the lead up to the King of the Ring. Dustin Runnels, Droz, Jeff Jarrett, and Chainz have mediocre matches, X-Pac is back in the ring, and Val Venis continues to titillate the fans. The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mankind, and Kane all end up in a Hell in a Cell match, while Paul Bearer works hard to hit the pay window. Conspiracies abound in this episode!

Let's get ready to rumble! Remember a time when the Monday Night Wars were a thing, professional wrestling was all over every channel and the big two were looking for ways to expand their reach? Enter WCW and future world champion...David Arquette. Yes...David Arquette. The movie was okay, but the soundtrack was killer.

It's here, our final episode of our trip through WCW 1996. Episode 30 is this Friday and as per usual ACEFIELD RETRO returns with MIKE BELCASTER to discuss two jam-packed episodes. We take on STARRCADE 1996 and DEC 30th MONDAY NITRO to tie a bow on WCW's bow out of the year 1996 and move into 1997. What will be the lasting image we are left with in the Nitro following Starrcade? Why was the WCW World Title not on the line in Hogan vs. Piper? We will crown our new UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP in the finals at STARRCADE and also our tournament to decide the WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP will also conclude. A tourney that started on Nitro and never made an appearance outside of the first round. If you missed it, so did we. It happen all on WCW's SATURDAY B level shows. The floodgates have opened for nWo members to join the faction. Has it officially gone too far? Did they oversaturate the storyline? One last time with spirit, we do some digging into Dave Meltzer's newsletter as it happened in real-time to bring in CONTEXT and help us travel completely back to 1996 to get an idea of what this event meant to WCW's drive to overtake WWF in the MONDAY NIGHT WARS. What was the rating like? Is there more drama to unpack? As always, this episode is sure to be an amazing time with the main homie MIKE BELCASTER. It's the last one so don't miss it.
