We celebrate Ford's birthday by watching the WCW Slamboree 2000 PPV triple cage match! David Arquette defends the WCW World Championship in a three-way with DDP and Jeff Jarrett! We watch along and discuss everything going on in WCW 2000, plus we play "Who Am I?" and JCD checks in with the PW120!

THAT'S RIGHT! IT'S BATTLE BOWL! What does that mean? It means we're getting 30 matches on 1 freaking pay-per-view. Will they mean anything? Sure, if you think "randomly" selecting tag partners to face off until they finally get into a mid-card battle royal where the prize is a literal ring...then yeah, it means something. Besides that, we've got Dean Malenko putting his Cruiserweight Title on the line against Brad Armstrong (older brother of Road Dogg), Konnan defending the United States Title against Jushin Thunder Liger, and The Giant defending his World Heavyweight Title against Sting. While WCW was about to hit a super hot period, you couldn't necessarily tell by this card. It's okay, though, because we spice it up and have a lot of laughs! Meanwhile, in the news, we discuss Nitro going to 2 hours, a stacked Great American Bash card coming up (now in our archives), Scott Hall and Kevin Nash making waves, Japan thinking they've got a new giant to promote, WWF signing a crap ton of jobbers and also signing one of the future biggest stars in the history of the business.

What a difference a year made in the life of World Championship Wrestling! In last week's podcast we looked back on Slamboree 1996, an event most fans hated. A year later? Most everyone loved Slamboree 1997. The advent of the NWO had a lot to do with that, but so did the return of Ric Flair after being off for eight months with shoulder problems. Flair teams with Roddy Piper and Kevin Greene of the NFL to face Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and Syxx in the main event. But here is so much more, including a great opening match between Lord Steven Regal against Ultimate Dragon, and others including Rey Mysterio, the Steiners, Dean Malenko, Jeff Jarrett, Chris Benoit, Meng, Konnan and MORE. Get ready for a great time watching Slamboree 1997...and watch out for the F***ing GOOSE!

Slamboree was originally an event that began in 1993 and was subtitled: "A Legends Reunion." The event was the brainchild of Dusty Rhodes, but in 1996 it looked nothing like the original one. The 1996 version featured Sting versus the Giant for the WCW World Title, Dean Malenko against Brad Armstrong for the WCW Cruiserweight Title and Konnan against Jushin "Thunder" Liger for the United State Title. It also featured a tag team "Lethal Lottery" with some sort of Battlebowl-Lord of the Ring-Earn a world title shot-nonsense.  Hey, it was WCW, right? And it was pre-NWO, so there was plenty of nonsense, right?
