• SHOT OF NOSTALGIA #1.25: WCW 1996 | HALLOWEEN HAVOC & OCT 28th WCW NITRO | PIPER CONFRONTS HOGAN!
    Jun 15 2024

    In episode 25 ACEFIELD RETRO returns with MIKE BELCASTER to discuss HALLOWEEN HAVOC 1996 & the OCT 28th episode of MONDAY NITRO. HOGAN & MACHO's showdown is finally here in all of its SLIM JIM glory. What does the debut of RODDY PIPER mean for the WCW product? What exactly is the impact of this moment and does it resonate the same way as it did back in 1996? What's next for the NEW WORLD ORDER now that they have the tag titles? Are the OUTSIDERS going to hold these titles hostage or will it help the division even further? This is a highly regarded show and the card top to bottom certainly is exemplary vision of what nostalgia remembers 1996 for. There's something special about Halloween Havoc. We've had so much hype and this card has been constructed with patience and poise. How can we inject some of that into AEW & WWE nowadays? DEAN MALENKO has an epic encounter with REY MYSTERIO but what else is new? Do we get any resolution on what's going on with RIC FLAIR'S United States Championship? As per usual, we do some digging into Uncle Dave's newsletter as it happened in real-time to bring in CONTEXT and help us travel completely back to 1996 to get an idea of what this event meant to WCW's drive to overtake WWF in the MONDAY NIGHT WARS. What was the rating like? Is there more drama to unpack? Bret Hart going to WCW? Hogan back to WWF? Savage too?! WHAT?! As always, this episode is sure to be a tremendous time with the main homie MIKE BELCASTER. Don't forget to grab your weekly Shot of Nostalgia at 7 PM Eastern to continue FLASHBACK FRIDAY ON THE TAVERN. As always, tip your bartenders & learn from the past!

    In episode 24 ACEFIELD RETRO returns with MIKE BELCASTER & a returning guest, THE ONE BAD CHAD to discuss the OCT 14th & OCT 21st episodes of MONDAY NITRO. STING is back with a new CROW gimmick for the first time. What are they feeling as they are watching this back for the first time since it aired back in 1996? This is the last time we hear Sting talk until January 1998?! Wow. A legendary debut of a character that it's hard to say they knew would have the impact it did. Things start to get really personal between Savage and Hogan on the build to Halloween Havoc. Does Liz decide to join the NEW WORLD ORDER or will her feelings for RANDY SAVAGE have her siding him?! This is the go-home show Halloween Havoc and the card is absolutely stacked for the spooky season spectacular. We've had weeks and weeks of build. How does this hype remind us of how WWE and AEW build for shows nowadays? DEAN MALENKO gets ready for his match with REY MYSTERIO. THE OUTSIDERS are getting their first shot at tag gold since being in WCW so what will HARLEM HEAT do to throw a roadblock in their way?
