“And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee. I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy” McManus returns to Oz looking to settle the tension between Burr and Morales. A ceasefire is called as Augustus attempts to explain himself to Burr, but Burr casts Augustus out of the homeboys. With his plan scrapped and his troops numbers dwindling, Burr sets a ‘Search & Destroy' mission for new podmate Edward. Clayton is causing problems in Unit J as he continues his feud with Alvin, this time over the origins of Alvin's surname, but now he's having issues with Johnny now too. Seeking a break from the tensions, Johnny has a visit with his wife Abby. Things appear to go well and they arrange to bring their son to the next visit. Clayton however has other ideas for Johnny upon his return, leading to Leo hitting the bottle hard. Beecher struggles to cope with Keller being gone from Oz. With the possibility of his Parole Hearing having a favourable outcome, as well as a blooming relationship with Katherine, a phone call with Keller brings him crashing right back down again. As Schillinger plays with his dolls, a chance encounter with a fellow inmate leads to questions about his new granddaughter's bloodline. Said looks to have Robson tried along with Carl Jenkins for his attempted murder and the murder of Leroy. Feeling as though he can talk some sense into the young inmate, Said asks to meet with Carl, which is met with resistance from Leo. Finding a loophole, Said confides in Cloutier to meet with Carl instead, which raises the ire of the Aryans and Schillinger in particular. Vahue heads to the Basketball to escape Unit B's Rat. Being gone from the NBA has affected Vahue's skills somewhat. Luckily for him McManus is on the scene to give him some pointers. Failing to take McManus advice (because why would he?), Vahue dismisses the man from the “White Boy City League”, leading to McManus to challenge Vahue to a Best of 3 Series on the Gym's Basketball Court. Vahue gets saddled with Busmalis as a teammate while McManus (eventually) teams up with Dave Brass, a CO from Unit B with some skills. As Moses execution approaches, his request to meet with those who are to receive his donated organs donated is accepted as he meets Jiffy Karras. Feeling a sense of purpose despite his impending death, Moses heads to Benchley Memorial for a routine examination. Padraic Connelly arrives at Oz awaiting his Deportation Hearing. Ryan tries to buddy up to his fellow Irish, but Padraic prefers to be a lone wolf. After an altercation with Jimmy and Jim in the Gym, Padraic receives news about his hearing. Ryan receives some (potentially) life changing family news from Suzanne. Things go from bad to worse following a scrap between Cyril and Jia, which leaves Jia in a coma. As McManus motions for Cyril to be transferred to the Connelly Institute, splitting the brothers and endangering Cyril “lifeline to reality”, Arif decides to finally come forward about witnessing Ryan murder Patrick Keenan. Facing the prospect of a trip to Death Row should he be convicted of Keenan's murder, Ryan asks Gloria to help he and Cyril escape. Also on this episode: a quick catch-up on what I've been up to since the last episode, Jia spends an ungodly amount of time in the Em City Cage, some questions about Oz's Inmate Uniform Policy, McManus facilitates Omar's return to Em City by forgiving him for the stabbing incident, what would you do in Orpheus' position?, Master P tries to add ‘play in the NBA' to his business empire, some poor penmanship with The Aryans, Not That John Carpenter goes for the top prize on Up Your Ante and I enlist OSW Review's Jay hunter (“HELLOOOOO!”) with some help with McManus' attempted Irish.

Tony Schiavone hypes most main events as the biggest match in WCW history, but on this occasion, he may very well be correct. Sting has been absent from the ring for over a year and re-enters the squared circle to take on the leader of the New World Order, ‘Hollywood' Hulk Hogan.

Since the inception of our show, the WWF's primary programme has been aired on a Monday night, but just how much has it changed in the 4-year span of our viewing? In Episode 64 of ‘The New Generation Project Podcast' we take a look at both ends of the spectrum. Firstly, Adam and Stewart are joined by Mike Quackenbush and Bryce Remsburg from Chikara in discussing the May 17th, 1993 episode of “Monday Night Raw” before Paul, Adam and Stewart check out the May 26th 1997 “Raw Is War”.

Vader is tasked with helping Ken Shamrock with his transition from the UFC in Episode 63 of ‘The New Generation Project Podcast' where we take a look at “In Your House: A Cold Day In Hell”.

What's a Wheelchair Match? And what is a more apt name for Ahmed Johnson's gauntlet match against The Nation?

The times they are a changin' in the World Wrestling Federation. It's April 1997 and with Bret Hart's heel turn, he has made amends with his brother Owen and Brother-In-Law Davey Boy Smith to form The Hart Foundation.

And who exactly is The Honky Tonk Man's protégé?

This hardcore wrestling promotion decided to compete with the big boys - you won't believe what happened next! In Episode 61 of 'The New Generation Project Podcast' it's finally time for us to turn our attention to Philadelphia and take a look at a new contender in the world of Pay-Per-View, Paul Heyman's ECW, as they stage "Barely Legal 1997".

How does The Stud-Muffin scoring system work? And where's Gran Naniwa?

Cards on the table, this isn't a review of the WWE's latest supershow in our usual match-by-match style. Instead, Adam and Stewart discuss their experiences in Dallas and the week's festivities while we stick "NXT Takeover: Dallas" on in the background as Paul hadn't seen it. It's Episode 60 of 'The New Generation Project Podcast' and for the very first time we spend an entire show discussing modern wrestling as we talk "Wrestlemania 32"!

What was the best match of the weekend? What is Paul's new catchphrase? Did we meet Richard Queree? Do they sell imitation Lemsip in Dallas? How do you compare Zack Sabre Jr to Ronnie O'Sullivan? And was D'Lo Brown there?

Of all the important moments we've covered in looking at nearly 4 years of WWF action, there is perhaps none more vital than when Bret 'The Hitman' Hart and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin waged war in a Submission Match in Chicago, Illinois on March 23rd, 1997.
