Podcast Wcw Thunder

Are we SURE Vince Russo doesn't work here yet? Dave and Lee return this week for arguably the worst PPV yet seen in our timeline. With no less than THREE negative star rated matches, this particular plate of WCW slop features: *A double stip change before a match even starts *A dog mauling a towel *Horace forgetting how to take glasses off. * 1 (ON…

We'll be back in January, in the meantime…

With mere days left until Slamboree, WCW attempts to send us over the edge by presenting two hours of video packages with the occasional match breaking out. Listen in as Dave and Lee attempt to sift through: *A "Mystery Tag Team in the main event" *The end of a Thunder Icon *The return of Kanyon *Did we mention the video packages? We'll be back in …

A big week in history for wrestling and a new nadir for quality, Days of Thunder returns to discuss a new episode of Thunder on TBS, while over on UPN a little show called Smackdown has its pilot on the same night!

If you like continuity, I'm afraid you have come to the wrong television show. Dave and Lee are here to make sense of a show that reason is beginning to abandon. *Is DDP a face again? I guess so? *Did Lee make it to the end of the show? *Which WCW wrestler said 'Indubitably' on this show? The answer may shock you *We get to the bottom of the NWO in…

Yes you read that right friends. It's finally time to do the long demanded Episode Zero of the show, covering the Greatest Night in the History of Our Sport right before Thunder began.

And so it has come to this, Spring Stampede 1999- described by many as the last great WCW PPV. For your hosts this means answering an important question: was it truly a great show, or is it considered great in the context of the horror that would follow? Either way we try to drink in the quality while it lasts: *Was Scott Steiner's performance good…

It's the go home show for Spring Stampede, and with the knowledge that it is possibly the last great WCW Pay Per View, Dave and Lee try to contain their excitement. *New Commentary, new logos, new Snack Talk! *Can you do a schmoz finish AND build a show well? *Your weekly Lee Malone gush over Blitzkrieg *La God Damn Cucaracha We'll be back in two w…

O Canada! Days of Thunder just had to crack out another special episode for the novelty of WW actually going north of the border this weekend.

On the show this week: *The pains of being old at heart *A big title change *The spear heard around the world *…

There are good Thunders, there are bad Thunders, and then there are these Thunders.

Sometimes, the story of getting your podcast recorded is more fraught than anything you discuss in it.

The lads return for a second episode in a week, and this one is more of a group therapy session than a review, as not only is this a VERY poor episode of Thunder, but we may have witnessed the single worst match in our entire run of the show so far. Please enjoy, as we certainly didn't!We’ll be back just before Christmas with our next episode, and …
