The Monday Night Wars were a period of mainstream televised American professional wrestling where the World Wrestling Federation's (WWF, now WWE) Monday Night Raw and World Championship Wrestling's (WCW) Monday Nitro were broadcast opposite each other in a battle for Nielsen ratings each week. The ratings war lasted from September 4, 1995, to March 26, 2001. The rating war was part of a larger overall struggle between the two companies, originating in personal animosity between WWF owner Vince McMahon and WCW-owner Ted Turner. The rivalry between the companies steadily escalated throughout the 1990s to include the use of cutthroat tactics and the defections of employees between the two companies. WWF(E) won the war......but what if WCW won the Monday Night Wars. Keith White joins our show again as we explore this new timeline.

Jackie Robinson broke the baseball color line when he started at first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947. When the Dodgers signed Robinson, they heralded the end of racial segregation in professional baseball that had relegated black players to the Negro leagues since the 1880s......but what if Branch Rickey signed "Cool Papa" Bell to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1924? How would this signing change the game...the nation? Do other teams start to sign players like Satchel Paige later Josh Gibson? Listen today as Mark A. Johnston and Jeff Paulson of Two Strike Noise podcast along with Thee Doctor and PUG will explore this what if in history.
About Two Strike Noise podcast:
Do you love baseball stories and history? That's what we're all about. Two Strike Noise is a weekly broadcast that is ALL about baseball. We do some fun segments and tell you all about a couple of baseball subjects,from ancient times to recent history. All with our own bit of strange humor and commentary.
Hosts Jeff Paulson and I discuss subjects from The House of David to Albert Bele's "Batgate" to the history of uniform numbers.
Mark A Johnston, started in baseball as a bat boy for the AAA Tacoma Tigers in the late 1980's before outgrowing his uniform and moving upstairs into production. From their he got his call to the big leagues and the Seattle Mariners where he has been working in their control room for more than 2 decades. He has been known to fill in on the stadium organ in a pinch and is considered the class clown of the control room. Jeff started his career in sports production before being offered the opportunity to sit behind home plate for the Atlanta Braves and basically watch baseball and then later hockey and basketball. That job took him around the country working for various teams including the Mariners where he and Mark first met. He now resides in northern California working remotely for teams across the country in between attending games at baseball's last dive bar, the Oakland Coliseum home of his beloved Oakland A's.

American women in World War II became involved in many tasks they rarely had before; as the war involved global conflict on an unprecedented scale, the absolute urgency of mobilizing the entire population made the expansion of the role of women inevitable. Their services were recruited through a variety of methods, including posters and other print advertising, as well as popular songs. Among the most iconic images were those depicting "Rosie the Riveter", a woman factory laborer performing what was previously considered man's work.
With this added skill base channeled to paid employment opportunities, the presence of women in the American workforce continued to expand from what had occurred during World War I. Many sought and secured jobs in the war industry, building ships, aircraft, vehicles, and munitions or other weaponry. Others drove trucks or provided other logistical support for soldiers. Still others worked on farms.
In this episode, the Doctor chats with Emily and Kelley from Wining About Herstory Podcast to discuss "What If Women Had The Majority Control Of America After World War II"
