At the 25:50 mark, we start discussing AEW heading to TBS in January 2022, and the introduction of a new one-hour TV program called “Rampage.”
At the 44:00 mark, we pay our respects to Jerome Young, aka New Jack, who passed away last week.
At the 1:01:05 mark, we take a deep dive into WWF’s In Your House: Beware of Dog 1 & 2 from May 1996. It was a ridiculous storyline from the start, but it got even weirder as Shawn Michaels was served before his match against the British Bulldog. We’ll talk all about it.
The card(s):
“Beware of Dog 1”
- Marc Mero (w/ Sable) vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley
- WWF Championship Match: Shawn Michaels (c) (w/ José Lothario) vs. The British Bulldog (w/ Clarence Mason, Diana Smith, and Owen Hart)
“Beware of Dog 2”
- Caribbean Strap Match: Savio Vega vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin (w/Ted DiBiase)
- Vader (w/ Jim Cornette) vs. Yokozuna
- Casket Match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship: Goldust (c) (w/ Marlena) vs. The Undertaker (w/ Paul Bearer)
That and more on this week’s episode!
