Duke and Rogue take a trip down memory lane and revisit the best and worst, well, mostly worst of WCW in its final year and change.
Well folks, we finally made it through the last chapter of World Championship Wrestling. In this episode we’ll be covering the final Nitro which took place on March 26, 2001. A few days prior to the event, Vince McMahon bought the company and this final episode of Nitro starts with him talking about how the future of WCW is in his hands. This surreal episode took place six days before…
Finally, after subjecting ourselves to over a dozen of the worst professional wrestling shows ever made, The Year of Duke and Rogue Podcast is back and we’re covering Greed, the final ever WCW pay per view. The Nature Boy Ric Flair is still running the company on air, and on this show he’ll be teaming up with The Chosen One Jeff Jarrett to take on the father-son combo of The…
As we head into the final couple of months of World Championship Wrestling, the ‘Nature Boy’ Ric Flair and his “Magnificent 7” faction have been running roughshod on the roster. The group of veterans was supposed to form at the end of the Sin pay per view, but their debut was botched on account of Sid’s broken leg. Adding some intrigue these days are the mysterious surveillance cameras capturing things…
We finally made it through the Year 2000 in WCW and there’s only a few shows left before the company closes its doors, and we move on to greener pastures. The first and only Sin features one of the worst endings to a show that there ever was, as Sid makes an ill advised trip to the turnbuckle. Elsewhere, Goldberg’s career is on the line again as he teams with…
Join Duke and Rogue as they run down the final WCW pay per view of the Year 2000. To the surprise of no one, we have another contender for worst show of the year. For the first time ever, we have a bunkhouse brawl street fight that miraculously transforms into a standard tag match about halfway through. Goldberg puts his career on the line once again against The Total Package….
In this episode, the genetic freak is unleashed as Scotty Steiner looks to take that world heavyweight title from Booker T in what they’re calling a Straight Jacket Caged Heat Match. Goldberg is on a quest to duplicate his streak and he’s only 150 wins away from a title shot. Elsewhere, there’s a whole lot of mediocrity as we suffer through another dud of a show. This was the least…
The long and arduous trek through the dying days of WCW continues, as the guys take you through the final Halloween Havoc pay per view. Usually this show has something special to offer, being Halloween and all, but not this time. There is one competitor in the whole show who is dressed up, and there’s nothing spooky anywhere. Where’s the Dungeon of Doom when you need them? Since our last…
It’s Fall Brawl, but the War Games are nowhere to be found. In place of the classic match, we get a caged heat match for the world title. It sounds fancy, but it’s just a regular old cage match. We also get a scaffold match, a first blood chain match, and Mike Tennay visits David Flair at home to see how he feels about being stabbed in the back right…
We’re back in Canada for WCW New Blood Rising. This event took place after the New Blood faction was disbanded, and that’s just the beginning of a confusing event that pushes the bullshit level to new heights. We have a double ladder match for a recording contract, a couple of gals rolling around in the mud, the Disco Inferno officiating a match, and a four corners match for the tag…
