This week, Nick and Vaughn dive into what made this past week's edition of WWE Monday Night Raw so good. The opening promo with CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Sami Zayn; the New Day segment that shocked everyone; Drew McIntyre's return, and so much more. This episode was proof as to why wrestling matches do not have to carry a wrestling show for it to be good. The guys dive deep into it all in this week's episode.

Recorded October 2020. (Episode 256)Join Vaughn Johnson and Nick Piccone for this classic episode as they dive deep into WWF In Your House: Buried Alive! It was the 11th In Your House pay-per-view offering from the revolutionary force in sports entertainment, and it took place on October 20, 1996 at the Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 1996, the World Wrestling Federation was trying some new things, especially with the nWo angle in World Championship Wrestling beginning to take off in popularity. This Buried Alive Match was one of those things, and simply put, the winner would have to bury his opponent alive. We take a deep dive, no pun intended, into the pay-per-view, where many parts were moving: Jim Ross was a heel, the show opened with a heel vs. heel match, Owen Hart/British Bulldog and the Smoking Gunns having another terrible ending to their second straight pay-per-view match, Marc Mero blew out his knee, Goldust threatened to stick his tongue down everyone's throats, Sid being super over at this time, the entrance gate, and just how much "buried alive" is buried alive?

Recorded October 2020. (Episode 255)
Join Vaughn Johnson and Nick Piccone for this classic episode as they dive deep into WCW's Halloween Havoc 1998! It took place on October 25, 1998 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Despite being red hot in 1997, WCW had its best fiscal year in 1998 and was setting records. Unfortunately, by October 1998, much of that money starting going down the drain as creative got worse and worse. This pay-per-view is the epitome of what laid ahead for WCW in the coming years. We got the Hogan vs. Warrior rematch. We wish we didn't. The undercard was brutal. The event wasn't even salvaged by a fantastic main event that featured Goldberg and Diamond Dallas Page ... perhaps Goldberg's best match ever!

Recorded October 2020. (Episode 254)Join Vaughn Johnson and Nick Piccone for this classic episode as they dive deep into W̶C̶W̶ Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc 1997. It took place on October 26, 1997 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It garnered a 1.10 pay-per-view buyrate, and Nick was among those. WCW in 1997 was red hot and the road to Starrcade was no different. With a couple of bumps along the way, however, Halloween Havoc that year was a microcosm of what was to come for WCW. Pretty good start - lame finish.

Recorded October 2021. (Episode 305)
Join Vaughn Johnson and Nick Piccone for this classic episode as they dive deep into WCW's Halloween Havoc 1995... where Hulk Hogan and The Giant would square off not once... but twice! The Sumo Monster Truck Match and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship match would feature the two... all the while the Giant would fall off the roof in the building in between those events. It's really a hoot.

It was Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair in a Steel Cage Retirement match... ALREADY. Hogan had debuted for WCW in June that prior year and they're already blowing it off. Oh, WCW.
