Night of Superplexes (9/13/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/08/15

Episode 54: We’re in North Carolina Eric Bischoff is gone (for now), so you can guess who returns in this one. Our weird tournament from last week gets paid off and then almost immediately undercut. And speaking of undercut, Bret Hart makes his in ring return with virtually zero fanfare in what is actually a decent show.

74:23

Fall Brawl 1999

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/07/31

Episode 53: It's the first Fall Brawl in a long time without War Games. What do we have instead? A man with creative control desperate to be loved against another fan favorite with a heel turn for someone looming in the air. In hindsight, it all feels a bit obvious.

73:15

No Explantion is Necessary (9/6/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/07/19

Episode 52: Get ready for a fever dream first half of Nitro and then a pointless second half thanks to a certain shouty man. WCW is unopposed again and putting on some of their worst content ever. At least that piano thing is paid off and we get a random 6-man cage match main event

91:15

You Are Not “The Bang” (8/30/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/07/12

Episode 51: Nitro is back to being terrible but this week they're terrible with no competition. In addition to Sid interference, we now get multiple ICP interference spots. At least Berlyn is here, although his first target is very disappointing

102:27

Halloween Havoc 1995

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/06/27

Episode 50: Look, I could write a whole elaborate thing here but this is about the Yeti, pure and simple. Whenever the Yeti is not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "where's the Yeti?". Oh and there's a match including monster trucks.

71:56

The Greatest Band in the World (8/23/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/06/13

Episode 49: KISS is here and they have a wrestler to debut! Sid continues to cause chaos all over the show and the West Texas Rednecks are all over this show, including a new music video and "live" performance. Plus, Sting challenges Hogan for the title but heeds a warning from a returning old friend.

78:15

It Was a Sid-uation (8/16/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/06/06

Episode 48: It's the Sid Vicious Show starring Sid Vicious! We say goodbye to a long loathed group and to a very memorable wrestler. Not to mention that there's 12 matches on this show, sure would be a shame if about half of them ended in interference...

85:25

Road Wild 1999

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/05/23

Episode 47: Loser must retire! We're finally going to be free of either Hulk Hogan or Kevin Nash! We also get the "start" of Sid's undefeated streak, some stong thoughts on Uno rules and a fashion lesson from a late 00's TV show. Oh, and a bunch of fat hogs.

70:35

Jug-Fest Was Right There (8/9/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/05/12

Episode 46: Sting has relinquished control of WCW back to the network, so I guess the faces are in charge again. Norman Smiley is surprisingly super over, David Flair is somewhat decent and Chad Brock is here. Plus, the red and yellow returns after a surprise stipulation is added to Road Wild.

66:57

This is a Load Bearing Segment (8/2/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/04/28

Episode 45: We continue to tread water on the way to Road Wild. Harlem Heat are officially back together, Sting is back in black in the house and Hulk Hogan totally shoots hard on Kevin Nash. The ramifications of that promo are so severe, you'll forget it by the commercial break.

104:00

You're No Andy Kaufman (7/26/99 NItro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/04/13

Episode 44: We've got a mystery on our hands, gang. We've got two mystery partners to solve. Luckily, it's the two most obvious choices. But at least we get Jason Hervey of the Wonder Years on commentary almost all night.

89:06

WrestleMania 38

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/04/06

It's a special bonus episode of WWE's biggest show of the year! Not a lot of WCW in this one but we just wanted to have a fun chat about the craziness that was Wrestlemania including plenty of Steve Austin, 3 celebrity matches and nonstop Undertaker entrances. Your regular programming will resume shortly

84:02

This Is All Hands On Deck (7/19/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/03/22

Episode 43: Sting tries to gain control of the company from Ric Flair as we get random HBO characters showing up unrelated from the ICP also showing up. Plus, a look into neckbones and we have to chat about blackface. Thanks, WCW.

84:54

Who's the Real Winner, Brother? (7/12/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/03/03

Episode 42: Hulk Hogan is back and would you believe it, the show is suddenly all about him. To distract us from this, enjoy a nearly 10 minute tangent of Emily not being able to comprehend the existence of both the Legion of Doom and Dungeon of Doom followed by some passionate feelings on crispy M&M's.

103:03

Bash at the Beach 1999

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/02/22

Episode 41: It's usually one of the most newsworthy shows of the year. This year they decided to have the show's main attractions be a nonsensical tag match, a boxing match between two wrestlers and a $100,000 "Junkyard Invitational". Keep in mind that's the cost of the match and not the prize money. Note: Nick's microphone was acting up during recording. We did our best in the edit but the volume and sound quality may fluctuate

85:30

Send For the Man (7/5/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/02/08

Episode 40: We're 6 days away from Bash at the Beach, so this is obviously the ideal time to have Bret Hart and Goldberg return. Plus David Flair gets gifted a title as Nick slowly loses the will to live throughout the episode. But we at least start off strong with a game all about entrance music.

82:30

I Forgot About the Stabbing (6/28/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/01/26

Episode 39: It's Kevin Nash vs the World! David Flair has somehow become number 1 contender while the mystery of the white hummer is still going somehow. Plus, we get the music video for "I Hate Rap" and a decent B-Team match. Wait, that can't be right...

84:38

There Are Rules, Emily! (6/21/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/01/11

Episode 38: A Nitro of many returns and Sid is actually going to wrestle. Nick fianlly snaps about the rules when a tag team match goes too far and Emily starts a feud with Frankie Valli. Plus it's Master P's brother's birthday and we're all supposed to care for some reason.

88:45

Wait, There's Both?! (6/14/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2021/12/30

Episode 37: We're one night removed from the Great American Bash and Randy Savage is claiming he won the title with no real evidence to support it. Ric Flair and Roddy Piper have joined forces and that's about as coherant as you'd expect. Plus, Emily learns a little something about the Legion of Doom. Oh and for some reason, Sable is here.

73:51

The Great American Bash 1999

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2021/12/23

Episode 36: Get ready for another disappointing PPV with a fever dream in the middle. We get an unexpected return and a new player joins the main event scene, plus the mystery of the white Hummer continues, totally solidifying the idea that they had no plans to reveal who was behind the wheel. As for the matches, well...
