We’re back after NorCal’s work schedule has cleaned up.  Tonight we talk about Takeover, the NXT house show NorCal went to and a good discussion on the territory system and why the future looks bright.

When we last left WCW, they were the undisputed kings of the Monday Night Wars and that’s certainly still the case as they come into 1998. Things were so good that they decided to more than double the amount of television they were airing per week. To say this might have been too much too soon is an understatement but WCW had done stupider stuff before.

In this book, I’ll be looking at every episode of Monday Nitro and Thunder from January through June of 1998. This is the time where the Monday Night Wars finally started to get competitive again after nearly two years of being completely one sided. Having two shows a week was a fresh idea as well, making this a very important time in wrestling history. As usual I’ll be providing play by play, historical context and analysis of every show.

Also remember that I’ve already covered 1995-1997 Monday Nitro in case you don’t want to jump right into the later stuff. Both books are available from my Amazon author page.

The books runs over 300 pages on a Kindle and only costs $3.99, or the equivalent in other currencies. If you don’t have a Kindle or e-book reader, there are several FREE apps you can use to read it on pretty much any electronic device. You can find those from Amazon here.

You can pick up the book from Amazon here.

From the UK Amazon here.

From the Canadian Amazon here.

Or if you’re in another country with its own Amazon page, just search “KB Nitro 1998” and my book will be the first thing that pop up.

Also you can still get any of my previous books on the WWE Championship, Monday Night Raw from 1998 and 2001, Monday Nitro from 1995-97, In Your House, Summerslam, Starrcade, ECW Pay Per Views, Royal Rumble, Saturday Night’s Main Event, the WWF and WCW pay per views from 1998 and Clash of the Champions at my author’s page here.

I hope you like it and shoot me any questions you might have.

Featuring me talking about a house show I went to earlier tonight, a very good opening rant on Vince Russo (the classics never die), and of course a discussion of 3 Count.

Check it out here

This week we have another first time guest with the Shockmaster.  He’s every bit as big of an old school wrestling fan as I am, he’s an archaeologist and a huge comic book fan. all of which will be discussed on the show.  This is going to be an awesome show.

NorCal and I break down Extreme Rules, talk about some NXT news and look at the week’s top stories.  We even disagree about something for once.

The show gets WAY more streamlined this week as we have our first pay per view preview with a look at Extreme Rules 2015, complete with a little fantasy booking, Dixie Carter’s face on chocolates and of course a fire on a life raft. Come check us out as we run down the post Wrestlemania pay per view offering.

Also keep in mind that we’ll be back with an Extreme Rules fallout show the same night.

Let me know what you think.

Really you should.  I’ve been told they’re quite good.  Granted I was talking to myself but it was in fact said.  I have quite the selection to pick from and all are available on Amazon Prime:

1. History of ECW Pay Per Views

2. History of Starrcade

3. History of the WWE Championship

4. History of the Royal Rumble

5. Only On Pay Per View 1998 (Every pay per view from WWF and WCW in 1998)

6. History of Saturday Night’s Main Event

7. History of In Your House

8. Complete Monday Nitro Volume I – 1995/1996

9. History of Clash of the Champions

10. History of Summerslam

11. Complete Monday Nitro Volume II – 1997

12. History of Survivor Series

13. Complete 1998 Monday Night Raw

14. Complete 2001 Monday Night Raw

All of them run over 200 pages and many break 400.  That’s not bad for under $4 each.  Check them out as I’ve yet to hear someone who doesn’t at least like them a little bit.  They’re all e-books and can be read on pretty much any device and you can find free apps to read them on for almost any device here.

Coming this weekend! NorCal and I will be doing an Extreme Rules preview tomorrow night to go up on Saturday and an Extreme Rules recap show immediately after the show goes off the air to be up that night.

NorCal and I are blown away by how well the show has been received and the amount of times people have been listening to it so we’re going to keep going and see where this takes us. I’ll let you know when both of them are up and I’ve already got my match/show picked out.

Keep checking here to see when the next show goes up.

This time the focus is on NFL football with wrestling taking a bit of a backseat.  This is a bit of a bonus episode and an introduction to my fellow featured guest Ty Burna (who has helped me keep this site operational in the past).  Also in case you weren’t wild on them, this show cut down on the F Bombs, but they’re still there because that’s just how NorCal talks.  Assuming there’s no complications on my end, I should be back on this weekend for an Extreme Rules preview show so keep an eye out for that.
