WCW Starrcade 1989 - We Miss Luby's.

Justin & Michelle review WCW Starrcade 1989. The two are feeling very nostalgic; referencing 3 Ninjas, Vegas Vacation and Luby's. #TheGreenSquare
Although Starrcade 1989 has 2 round robin tournaments, there isn't a lack of excitement...because Jim Cornette is on commentary. Never a dull moment!

WWF Survivor Series 1989 - Stop Slapping The Snake!

Justin & Michelle tackle the feat that is WWF Survivor Series 1989. Five matches, 4 wrestlers on each team, 2 teams per match, one dang format for all the matches. Thankfully, the dynamic duo finds a way to make this exciting! However, Michelle is NOT happy with Jake slapping the head of his snake over and over. #metaphor

WCW Halloween Havoc 1989 - Justin's Confession, 30 Years Later

Welcome to 2025, everybody! New year, old shows! It's what we do! Join Justin and Michelle as they dive into the FIRST ever Halloween Havoc. There are some new faces (The Cuban Assassin?), along with a questionable cage match with some hot talent for the main event. Most importantly, Justin makes a confession that he's held in for over 30 years...until now.

WWF SummerSlam 1989 - F$&@ It!!!

Justin & Michelle have made it to the back half of 1989! WWF SummerSlam 1989 was a weird one, with a few snafus that led to Mean Gene dropping the F bomb on live television. Another large snafu is not having Gorilla Monsoon with Jesse on commentary... which Justin & Michelle have thoughts about. However, DUSTY RHODES RETURNS in his signature black and yellow polka dot attire. Does his muffler have dots too?!

WCW Great American Bash 1989 - Is That An Alligator?!?

The duo travels back in time to Baltimore to watch WCW Great American Bash 1989! The show starts off hot with a 14-man battle royal, then the poor wrestlers all have a second match on the same show....well, most of them do. There's a Bloodhound, a Komodo dragon and Bill Irwin. Most importantly, Ric Flair heads to Funky town for the main event with his old buddy, Terry Funk. 

WCW WrestleWar 1989 - The Bell Is Attached

Join Justin & Michelle as they head to Nashville for WCW WrestleWar 1989! Junkyard Dog didn't show up, The Iron Sheik returned, and Rikishi is working under an alias known as "Fatu." We also learned that Justin did taekwondo?! Who knew?! Lastly, why the heck wasn't the Flair vs. Steamboat match not the FINAL main event?

WWF WrestleMania 5 - The Annual Brunch?

Justin and Michelle tackle WWF WrestleMania 5 and it's a long one! 14 matches in one show makes for a tedious watch. However, Tony Schivaone makes his first WWF appearance. Mr. Fuji is shirtless. The Bushwhackers are licking people. Elizabeth can't pick a man. Hulk Hogan is a heel.

WCW Chi-Town Rumble 1989 - Best Match of All Time?!

It's 1989 and we are in CHICAGO for the Chi-Town Rumble! WCW is continuing to get its feet wet in the world of wrestling pay-per-views. However, they do have a bit of an identity crisis on if they want to be called "WCW" or "NWA." Nevermind that! Chi-Town Rumble might be a "one and done" pay-per-view, but many consider the main event of this show to be the GREATEST wrestling match of all time. Do Justin and Michelle agree? 

WWF Royal Rumble 1989 - The Posedown From Hell

We have finally made it to 1989!! The Royal Rumble is always a hit with Justin and Michelle! Join them as they discuss what they liked, disliked, and the one thing they HATED...the Posedown. Who need a 17 minute segment with Rick Rude and Ultimate Warrior posing?! Not us! However, the tense situation between Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan made up for it....almost. 

WCW Starrcade 1988 - So long, Dusty...for now.

We have finally arrived at WCW...except, it's still technically an NWA show? Regardless, Starrcade 1988 has leveled up! Unfortunately, after this show, several key pieces of talent will move to the WWF. Dusty Rhodes gets fired after this show for being TOO hardcore! Lastly, the ending of the final match has Michelle PISSED and Justin knew it was coming. Lex Luger 4 Life.
