Cette semaine Marc et Michel Letourneur reviennent sur la période WcW et se remémorent les Nitro Party qui avaient commencé aux Etats Unis et que Marc & son équipe avait très vite fait venir au Québec. Finalement, les fans québécois auront pu rencontrer à 3 reprises quelques stars de la World Championship Wrestling. Un épisode nostalgique d'une période qui aura vu se confronter 2 géants du divertissement sportif.
Chris and John talk Talknshopamania 2, was it better than the first one? Has Jim Cornette weaseled himself back in their lives? What will happen on episode 91, will Chris and John review Impact Wrestling's Turning Point 2020 ppv or finally see if The Nutty Professor (1996) is as funny as it was when we were kids? Also, brand new Nitro Party song at the end. You don't want to miss it.
The spooks don't stop all October long as The Shoot Show boys collect themselves on the path to Halloween Havoc 1998, retracing the uneven footsteps of the Ultimate Warrior's WCW "run". It's a recap heavy episode as they try to make sense of not just Warrior's appearance, but the chaos between the NWO and the Wolfpac, the Four Horsemen vs Bischoff and whatever a Nitro Party is.
Another Monday Night, Another Wizards Episode. Kevin has never heard the Hart Foundation Killer Bees promo so we find that, talk some 80’s wrestling, some Smackdown & the Jeff Hardy story before Guy Evans, author of the Nitro Book calls in. We talk about the process of the book, his favorite people to talk too, and if there will be a follow up book. After that we get into some...

Kevin has never heard the Hart Foundation Killer Bees promo so we find that, talk some 80’s wrestling, some Smackdown & the Jeff Hardy story before Guy Evans, author of the Nitro Book calls in.

On this Episode of Late to the Nitro Party, we watch the 3/31/97 episode featuring: Kevin Nash wearing a giant(checks notes) device? Ric Flair being great at crotch strikes, Lance Ringo being way into DDP's wife, La Parka attempting to make Prince Iaukea look decent and so much more!
The boys in cars are back for a new pandemic episode. We start things off with the departure of Tom Brady from the New England Patriots to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We also discuss no crowd wrestling shows, 2 day WrestleMania and more. Stay to the end to hear a new Nitro Party song.
SURPRISE! Another watch along episode, this time for the 1995 royal rumble. We're pretty drunk but we had one left in us. A lot of hair cowards in this one. Listen to find out what a hair coward is. Dead guys are only a quarter beer here since we're low and this moves quick. We definitely recorded Nitro Party after this too.
Chris and John don't really celebrate one year of this podcast. We talk about marks saying WWE will put AEW out of business and the differences between WWE Super Showdown and AEW Revolution. XFL wrap up and new Nitro Party as well.
Chris's 2 month old joke finally pays off. The boys in cars talk about the XFL and sports stuff and then mosey on over to NJPW's New Beginning. A new Nitro Party song enters the fray.
Chris and John have new Nitro Party to show you, I won't tell you when it is because then you won't listen to the episode. Or maybe you'll listen until it plays, hate it, and shut it off. Either way I see the statistics, I know who's listening and who isn't. Oh, we talk about wrestling and football and stuff.
The boys in cars do 2 drafts. Nitro Party returns but need haircuts. We jumped the shark with that one...sorry. No I'm not. We're doing it every week.

Join Tony Schiavone as he re-visits the 20 Year Anniversary of the biggest show in the history of our great sport, Starrcade 1997! After a 17 month build, the nWo storyline had all built to this. It would be biggest financial success in WCW history but did it deliver creatively? The entire event would be shrouded in controversy: WCW had to go to great lengths to get Malenko in the ring, Raven was advertised but not ready, Flair was out with an injury for his rubber match with Hennig, Bischoff is wrestling his first match ever, Konnan no-shows a match on a day's notice, Randy Savage isn't booked but finds himself with a ton of leverage, Rey Mysterio and Booker T are spectators in the crowd, the guy who started this "invasion" angle isn't booked on this show but fills in when Kevin Nash no-shows for indigestion, Bret Hart makes his WCW PPV debut... as a referee, Bischoff can't pull off the original twist for the main event, Hogan doesn't think Sting is tan enough, Bischoff doesn't think Sting is in shape, and Nick Patrick "botches" the finish of the most anticipated main event in history... or does he? There's so much going on for WCW and many would say this show was the beginning of the end, but WCW would go on to set new records just eight days later and all through the Summer. So decide for yourself as we dig deep into Starrcade 1997, was it the best of times? Or the worst of times?
