The Hogan Era podcast episode 256 is all about Smoking GunnsThe most significant name in professional wrestler history is Hulk Hogan.

In this episode, Nick and Vaughn dive deep into Hulk Hogan's in-ring debut in World Championship Wrestling at WCW's Bash at the Beach 1994 in Orlando. It was the dawning of a new era in WCW, "Wrestling is cool again" as Tony Schiavone would put it before signing off for the night. WCW wasted no time to deliver Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair - whereas Vince McMahon was scared off by making it the main event of WrestleMania VIII. And, man, was it ever a home run for WCW. But, what about the rest of the card? The guys dive deep into it all!BUT FIRST, they talk about CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes picking up some steam, Roman Reigns posing with Jalen Brunson at MSG, Gunther's 2026 fall, Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay, and more.--Twitter/X: [@_piccone] [@VaughnMJohnson] [@ShootersRadio]Instagram: [@shootersradio]Threads: [@shootersradio] [@picconenick] [@vaughnjohnson166]Bluesky: [@shootersradio] [@piccone] [@vaughnjohnson]Facebook: [facebook.com/shootersradio]YouTube: [youtube.com/@shootersradio]Exclusive Patreon content: [patreon.com/shootersradio]

WCW is back in control or are they? Ric Flair leads the battle against the combined nWo and his son is stuck in the middle! Plus the burial of Goldberg continues. Its WCW in 1999 abandon all hope!
Bob and Luis catch up on WWE and review some WCW from '87.
It's another loaded edition of 83 Weeks as Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson break down the biggest stories making headlines across professional wrestling while revisiting some of the most pivotal moments of Eric's legendary career. The guys discuss WWE's decision to counter-program AEW in Chicago and whether the city is becoming the next major battleground in the ongoing competition between the industry's biggest promotions. Is Chicago about to become ground zero for professional wrestling? Then it's time for another installment of NW30, as Eric looks back at the iconic image of Hulk Hogan arriving dressed entirely in black on the road to one of wrestling's most influential moments. Eric also celebrates the 35th anniversary of his WCW debut at The Great American Bash 1991, reflecting on why leaving the struggling AWA felt like a fresh start and how that opportunity changed the course of his career. Next, the guys revisit one of the most unforgettable nights in WWE history the moment Vince McMahon shocked the wrestling world by naming Eric Bischoff the General Manager of Monday Night RAW 24 years ago. Eric explains why it remains one of the most surprising moments of his entire career and shares behind the scenes memories from that unforgettable debut. Plus, Eric discusses why every wrestling fan has a favorite era, what makes different generations of wrestling resonate so deeply, and responds to lingering misconceptions about his role in TNA by setting the record straight on exactly what he did and didn't have responsibility for.

Road Trip After Hours w/ WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and Host Mac Davis
One minute we are arguing about whether National Hot Dog Day is even real, and the next Teddy Long is telling a road story that ends with White Castle making him so sick he cannot stop throwing up before a signing. That is the magic of Wrestling's Road Trip After Hours: it sounds like a casual hang, but it is packed with the kind of wrestling travel stories, backstage memories, and unfiltered opinions you only get from people who lived it.We bounce through fan questions on everything from action figures and the Skyscrapers to JBL calling Teddy “frugal” and the toll booth tricks that helped him dodge paying. Teddy also shares a terrifying moment where Dan Spivey wakes him up just in time to avoid sliding under an 18 wheeler, with Mac adding his own modern version from the independent wrestling road. If you love classic WCW, WWF, and WWE stories, this one delivers real detail and real stakes.Then we get into the bigger wrestling debate: does the WWE product feel better now, or did Vince McMahon understand story, pacing, and the wrestling fan in a way that is missing today? We connect that to ticket prices, what feels overly polished, and why respect for the business still matters. Along the way we hit Dark Side of the Ring, social media confusion, music tastes, Rhea Ripley talk, Rocky King memories, and a final dinosaur question that somehow makes perfect sense at the end of the night.Subscribe for more live Wednesday hangs, share this with a friend who loves wrestling stories, and leave a review so more fans can find us.

The most controversial man in professional wrestling tells all in the story of the upstart TNA with stories that will make your jaw drop.Vince Russo, known as the most successful writer in the history of professional wrestling, brought the World Wrestling Federation to its greatest success during the Attitude Era, creating a brand of wrestling that brought the industry to record heights. Three decades later, Russo is still talked about as one of the most influential men in the industry.Following the success of his first two books, Forgiven (covering his years with Vince McMahon's WWE) and Rope Opera: How WCW Killed Vince Russo (his time with Ted Turner's rival), TOTAL NONSTOP AGONY: The Rise and Fall of TNA picks up Russo's story as he begins work with the upstart TNA, where the daily drama proved greater than ever. The storylines here feature an indecisive millionaire southern belle, Dixie Carter, who cared more about her image then her wrestling company; the demise of his friendship with his best friend, Wrestling Superstar Jeff Jarrett; the network executives at Spike TV, who understood very little about the business they were in; and the return of his mortal enemies from WCW, Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan.Russo's TNA stories are epic, and many have never been told before. The politics, runaway egos, backstabbing, and underhandedness make the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills look like Little Women. Finally, the time has come to discuss TNA: this is the tell-all that no one has ever dared, and no one can tell the story better than Vince Russo.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January, 2021Weird Darkness runs from shapeshifters in the American backcountry to a Pentagon program built around a Utah ranch, then to the unsolved execution of a professional wrestler and a spirit that locked a family out of its own home.It opens in the wilderness, where a wildland firefighter working as an assistant superintendent in Idaho's Hell's Canyon in 2004 met a bobcat that stared him down, screamed, and climbed a tree, then found a boarded-and-chained cabin on federal land before a barefoot Native American woman in a tattered nightgown appeared on the same spot, screamed with the identical cry, and scaled the trunk faster than a person should; a local named the thing a pumawha, a skin changer. A Montana park ranger described a similar abandoned cabin beside a shed whose reinforced steel door had been forced open from the inside, a dazed man who fled into the trees twice, and a full-grown bear that bolted from the house moments after the man vanished. On Mount Sterling in North Carolina, a climber six miles from the nearest road watched a figure with no headlamp arrive at his camp under a full moon and sit motionless facing the tents from roughly 10:30 at night until 3:30 in the morning. Reddit user tytrim89 recounted an abandoned Army training town in North Carolina where two people heard girls laughing in the woods and came back to find the locked jeep's dome light on and a door cracked, followed by a thud that shook the century-old main house. A former summer-camp counselor posting as fleetw16 and a friend followed the sound of running water that grew louder and softer with no creek anywhere on the map, drawn on by a presence that turned sinister the instant they chose to turn back. The segment ends at Yellowstone's Lamar Valley, where a ranger eleven miles from the nearest road found a doe's head severed cleanly and set in the middle of the trail, no blood, no scavenging, the eyes and tongue intact and the body gone.From there the episode turns to the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, the $22 million Pentagon UFO effort that Luis Elizondo helped expose in the New York Times in December 2017, and to the fuller account that its original name was the Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Applications Program and its real focus was Skinwalker Ranch in Utah's Uintah Basin. Robert Bigelow bought that ranch in 1996 after founding the National Institute for Discovery Science in 1995, and what happened there fills the 2005 book Hunt for the Skinwalker by journalist George Knapp and biochemist Colm Kelleher. The family who sold it, pseudonymed the Gormans, reported a wolf-like creature that shrugged off point-blank gunshots and orbs of light that lured their dogs into the trees for good. Funding ran through Senator Harry Reid and the Defense Intelligence Agency until fundamentalist Christians inside the intelligence community, convinced the phenomena were demonic, lobbied the program shut; retired Army intelligence colonel John Alexander called what they studied precognitive sentient phenomena. Filmmaker Jeremy Corbell's documentary and the History Channel series Unidentified, premiering May 31, carried the material to a wider audience.Next comes the killing of Dino Bravo, born Adolfo Bresciano, a Montreal wrestling star who held a WWWF tag title, benched a claimed 655 pounds as a heel at the 1988 Royal Rumble, and was let go by the company in 1992. Rather than relocate his family to join WCW, he moved into Canada's booming illegal cigarette trade and built a local monopoly, then partnered with a cocaine dealer whose $400,000 shipment was seized by police after sitting three days in a warehouse. A week later, on March 10, 1993, his wife came home to find him shot seven times in the head and ten times in the torso, seated in a chair with the television remote still in his hand and no sign of forced entry. Investigators recovered .380 and .22 caliber rounds and suspect a silencer, since no neighbor reported seventeen gunshots; the execution bore the marks of a Canadian mob hit, and at 44 Bravo left a wife and young daughter behind. The case remains unsolved.The episode closes with Brenda McDonald, who rented a suburban rambler while home on mid-tour leave and watched the back sliding door lock her family out again and again on moving day, its latch not spring-loaded, while her grandson's bedroom door kept shutting and locking until she removed the knob. Home later from deployment, she heard loud snoring beside her on the couch and then in her bed, and during a backyard barbecue a dark shape shot down the hall as a metal candle holder and several pairs of socks flew off a ledge and struck the far wall. A psychic medium told her a frustrated male spirit who wanted a family had followed her daughter home, then coaxed it toward the light, though McDonald came to believe that wherever her daughter goes, spirits follow.

On this episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson tackle some of the biggest stories shaping professional wrestling today before taking a fascinating trip back to one of the industry's most influential eras. The guys kick things off by discussing Tubi's emergence as a major destination for professional wrestling content. Eric shares his thoughts on what expanded streaming distribution means for wrestling promotions, how it could change the way fans consume content, and whether free, ad-supported platforms represent the next major battleground in the wrestling business. The conversation then shifts to Road Dogg and the challenges that await him if he joins TNA Wrestling's creative team. Eric breaks down the realities of modern wrestling creative, the obstacles anyone stepping into that role will face, and why building a successful promotion requires far more than simply writing compelling television. Next, Eric and Conrad celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of the most iconic promos in wrestling history—Steve Austin's "Austin 3:16" speech. Eric offers his unique perspective on why the experiences Steve Austin endured during his time in WCW helped forge the "Stone Cold" persona that would eventually change the wrestling business forever. It's an insightful look at how setbacks, frustration, and opportunity combined to create one of the greatest characters the industry has ever seen. Plus, the guys continue their deep dive into the 30th anniversary of the formation of the nWo, revisiting the behind-the-scenes stories that made wrestling history. Eric reveals just how dangerous some of those unforgettable moments really were, including why one wrong move by Kevin Nash or Scott Hall during the early days of the nWo could have had catastrophic consequences. It's another candid look behind the curtain from the man who helped reshape the wrestling industry.

On this special edition of Grilling JR, Jim Ross and guest host Paul Bromwell celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of the most pivotal and unforgettable years in the legendary career of The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels. Join JR and Paul as they revisit a defining moment in wrestling history and the event that forever changed Shawn's career trajectory. The guys travel back to WrestleMania XII, held on March 31, 1996, at the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim in Anaheim, California. In the night's historic main event, Shawn Michaels fulfilled his lifelong dream by defeating Bret "Hitman" Hart in a grueling 60-minute Iron Man Match to capture his first WWF Championship. JR shares his memories of calling one of the most talked-about matches in WrestleMania history and discusses the significance of the iconic "Boyhood Dream Has Come True" moment that has become synonymous with Shawn Michaels' legacy. But WrestleMania XII was about much more than just the main event. JR and Paul dive into the major stories surrounding the WWF at the time, including Scott Hall and Kevin Nash giving notice and preparing to leave for WCW, the infamous Billionaire Ted skits that fueled the Monday Night War, and the surprising return of "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. The conversation also covers the chaotic Hollywood Backlot Brawl between Piper and Goldust, Ultimate Warrior's lightning-fast return match against Hunter Hearst Helmsley, The Undertaker's clash with Diesel, and the unique atmosphere surrounding a company on the verge of massive change. From Shawn Michaels' crowning achievement to the behind-the-scenes developments that helped reshape the wrestling industry, JR and Paul break down all the action, controversy, and history from one of the most important WrestleManias of all time.
