I'm glad you post these full episodes (not cheap can't afford it). They're a nice wind down to the day.

I loved the spin the wheel make the deal, the coal miners glove ppv was the first/last WCW ppv I ever ordered. It had just started to be shown in northern Canada, seeing WWF stars on the card, I was like WOW! It could be all these crazy matches. What could it be!? Coal miners glove left an extremely sour taste in my mouth

Shockmaster was wearing a Star Wars Stormtrooper helmet covered in at this time was unreal.

Tony says what i think every time when i watch those old matches with Steve Austin. He was a clear star. Great worker, great psychology, and great talker.

This was a great episode. I like the chemistry between Conrad and Tony. Missy Hyatt was over the top and in your face. She played the dumb bimbo really well. Spin the Wheel Make the deal round 2 was way better than round 1. Vader and Cactus Jack did a great job. The only difference that helped Vader win in my opinion was Harley Race the manager of champions.

The chain gimmick wasnt "wrong" it was cool

Tony talks about the huge mistake of firing Austin, but had he stayed in WCW, he likely wouldn't have gotten a huge push, wouldn't have had Vince to work off of and might not have even become the Stone Cold character at all. You can look at all the awesome talent that was floundering in WCW that made a huge impact in WWE as proof of this. You lost Jericho, Benoit, Guerrero, Foley and Austin. They all did great things in WCW, but didn't go far because of the structure and thinking of that company.

Jesus Christ, Tony. That big shit hasn't fumed out, I can still smell it.
