    Episode 63: Bash at the Beach 2000
    Feb 12 2024
    It's WCW's final Bash at the Beach - and you'd never know it was a beach-themed show. Come on, WCW - one lifeguard stand or beach umbrella, that's all we ask. But don't worry, WCW spent the money they saved on set design so they could pay Michael Buffer to be drowned out by entrance music and commentary. Plus: A wedding gown match confuses us more than just about anything else we've watched, Vince Russo and Hulk Hogan have a, shall we say, disagreement about the future of WCW, and there's a Graveyard Match - but is it a graveyard smash? For all this and more, let's go to the ring! Music by Michael Gary Brewer at https://www.instantmusicnow.com/ Follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LetsGo2theRing/

    Episode 62: Bash at the Beach 1999
    Jan 1 2024
    Happy New Year! I don't know about you folks, but our resolution here at Let's Go to the Ring is to never watch WCW's Bash at the Beach 1999 again. Why? Two words: Junkyard Invitational. Plus: Piper vs. Bagwell in a boxing match evidently plotted by someone who'd never actually watched a boxing match to its conclusion, Nash and Sting vs. Savage and Sid in a match where Sting can, somehow, win Nash's world title - don't worry, I'm sure WCW will give a logical explanation at some point on the show - and some of the lengthiest video packages since a cowboy explained the Bunkhouse Stampede.

    Episode 61: Bash at the Beach 1998
    Dec 4 2023
    It's 1998! With the evil champ Hollywood Hogan at their head, nWo Hollywood wars with nWo Wolfpac and WCW for control. Now, at Bash at the Beach...wait, Hogan's not champ anymore? Goldberg is? The nWo Wolfpac is an afterthought? Well, at least Curt Hennig and Giant will have an interesting match against Goldberg and Kevin Greene...wait, that match turned into two matches? Surely Dean Malenko vs. Chris Jericho must be stable, right? Right? It's amazing how unplanned WCW's planning feels sometimes. For all this, plus WCW for some unknown reason deciding to actually hold another match involving Dennis Rodman, let's go to the ring!

    Episode 60: Bash at the Beach 1997
    Nov 10 2023
    One year out from the formation of the nWo, WCW holds another match that could change wrestling forever - at least to hear the commentators tell it. We're not sure Dennis Rodman's stint in the nWo is as notable, ourselves. Plus: Which Mortal Kombat characters (effectively) make an appearance? Just how many flips and dives can the luchadores put in one match? Who do the WCW sound guys evidently think has joined the nWo? And does Hulk Hogan know just what dogs do to fire hydrants? For all this and more...let's go to the ring!

    Episode 59: Bash at the Beach 1996
    Oct 2 2023
    Bash at the Beach 1996. Challenged by Outsiders, WCW has put together a team to fight for the company's honor...but the identity of the Outsiders' third man will change WCW forever. That's right - it's time to look at the birth of the nWo. Plus: Rey Mysterio and Psychosis put on one of the most mind-blowing match finishes we've yet witnessed, Arn Anderson teaches division, Kevin Sullivan is a face (!), and apparently, Konnan is Dean Malenko per Ric Flair. For all this, plus the wonder that is Crab-Cam, let's go to the ring!

    Episode 58: Bash at the Baywatch
    Aug 7 2023
    At Bash at the Beach 1995, Baywatch crossed over with WCW - now, it's time for WCW to return the questionable favor on Baywatch's version of Bash at the Beach! Can Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage best Vader and Ric Flair to regain that greatest of all wrestling prizes: the escrow papers for a local gym? When Hulk Hogan faces off against a jet ski, who wins? (It ain't physics.) Has any Baywatch editor ever seen any professional wrestling matches, ever? And don't worry - they didn't film enough WCW antics to fill a full episode, but Baywatch's writers came up with exactly the right plot to combine with this fun, lighthearted wrestling angle. For all this and more, let's go to the beach!

    Episode 57: Bash at the Beach 1995
    Jul 3 2023
    With Bash at the Beach 1995, WCW has finally hit on the idea of holding a beach-themed show on, you know, a beach! With a partnership with Baywatch and a sponsorship from Slim Jims, the stage is set for interesting show - can WCW deliver fun in the sun? Hogan faces Vader in a cage! Savage faces Flair in a lifeguard match (not those lifeguards, wrestler lifeguards)! Paul Orndorff faces DDP...in a contest to see who can get a better match out of their respective dance partners, Renegade and Dave Sullivan! Plus, triangle match has yet another meaning, and this one sucks. For all this, plus a discussion of Vader and multiverse theory, let's go to the beach!
