WWF Survivor Series 1988 - Two Butts, One Blur

It's Thanksgiving, once again, at WWF Survivor Series 1988! Jesse Ventura is dressed like a pilgrim, Shawn Michaels has finally arrived and we see butts. Well, just one, since one was blurred out! Join Justin & Michelle as they laugh their way through these long, 10 to 20 man matches, and of course, discuss a much needed format change!

WWF SummerSlam 1988 - RIP Frankie

Justin & Michelle cover the inaugural SummerSlam from 1988! Unfortunately, Justin finds a way to bring up "the muffler" again, ew. Although the duo believes a lot of these matches weren't necessary on this pay-per-view card, there were definitely a few stand outs...and a very depressing story about KoKo BWare's parrot, Frankie. RIP, dear bird.

NWA Great American Bash 1988 - A Muffler?!

Justin & Michelle discuss NWA The Great American Bash 1988, the very last NWA show under Jim Crockett Promotions before heading to World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Despite selling over 14,000 tickets to this show, JCP was struggling. One would never know with how HOT the crowd was for this show! Apparently, Dusty Rhodes was also hot...and had something shoved in his pants. #muffler

WWF WrestleMania 4 - Poor Vanna White

With WrestleMania 4 having 16 MATCHES, this is a bit of a longer episode, but it's a great one! Justin & Michelle discuss the zoo of show (literally, there was a snake, a dog and a parrot). Bob Uecker will not stop talking about his obsession with Vanna White. Hulk Hogan gets his main event moment...even though he's not in the main event. 

WWF Royal Rumble 1988 - Needle.

Justin & Michelle discuss the FIRST WWF Royal Rumble from 1988. This show was broadcast in direct competition with NWA Bunkhouse Stampede. Will it come out on top? The duo definitely has strong feelings about having a random tag team match after what was seemingly the main event. Also, you'll never hear the word "needle" the same way again....

NWA Bunkhouse Stampede 1988 - But, There Are Plot Holes...

Justin & Michelle team up this week to talk about NWA Bunkhouse Stampede 1988! The rules of the match are simple. To eliminate your opponent, you must throw him over the top of the cage OR put him through the door...but there are plot holes in the execution of this wild match. However, Dusty Rhodes looks fantastic!

WWF Survivor Series - Hogan is a HEEL

Justin & Michelle discuss the upcoming Vince McMahon documentary on Netflix, Bret Hart's appearance on Monday Night Raw, and the exploding popularity of The Outrunners in AEWQ Then, the brother/sister duo heads back to 1987 to talk about the inaugural SURIVOR SERIES, brought to us by the WWF.

NWA Starrcade 1987 - It's STIIIIIING!!

Justin and Michelle are beyond thrilled with the arrival of Sting. The war continues to heat up between NWA and Vince McMahon...err WWF. With WWF premiering the inaugural Survivor Series on the SAME NIGHT as Starrcade 1987, how will the NWA hold up? Well, according to Justin and Michelle, pretty darn well!

WWF WrestleMania 3 - The GOAT Match...for now

After Justin and Michelle give their quick predictions of 2024 AEW All Out and NXT No Mercy, the brother/sister duo covers THE record breaking Wrestlemania that is considered to be the one that "put WWF on the map." With such a great show, what could be bad? Well... wait until you hear the latest @RassleStats count for this episode. Ah, the eighties.

NWA Starrcade 1986 - The Buttcrack Alert

Justin & Michelle give their predictions for WWE's upcoming "Bash in Berlin" before discussing NWA's Starrcade 1986. The competition between NWA and WWF is really heating up! Starrcade '86 may only be in two cities, but we get at LEAST 3 buttcracks! Not to mention, a whole rickety scaffold for Jim Cornette to fall from and break his knees. Yep. That happened.
