Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2023/01/25

Episode 69: In a very nice episode, we get a triple main event with none of them closing the show. Plus, an unexpected journey with the goons and Mean Gene subbing in for Gandalf and the dwarves will be played by strippers

71:17

You Are All Just Bystanders (11/22/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2023/01/11

Episode 68: It's the night after Mayhem and the Filthy Animals are imploding. Speaking of imploding, we get a Nitro Girls breakup match and a whole lot of random piano

97:56

Mayhem 1999

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/12/31

Episode 67: We're arrived at Mayhem 1999 where we'll crown a new WCW Champion. Lucky us, there's somehow 12 matches on this card, with 4 of them being rated in the negative stars. Is it really that bad? We'll have to see, but Emily is definitely over Miss Elizabeth.

70:30

Oklahoma! (11/15/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/12/27

Episode 66: Pinata on a pole! We're 6 days away from Mayhem but we get a lot to talk about tonight: Half brains, pooping, and one of the most infamous gimmicks during the Vince Russo era. Plus somehow, there's a good match.

78:44

David's Just Built Different (11/8/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/12/09

Episode 65: The cold streak continues as there is exactly one good match on this show. Russo continues his Dr. Claw gimmick and Kevin Nash is now a licensed manager. Plus, Seven is here! And boy does he have something to say...

80:14

Forklift Certified Perry Saturn (11/1/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/11/28

Episode 64: "Norman Smiley is saving this show". This is an actual quote from this episode. Stay tuned for more tangents than a trigonometry class as we plow through a pretty lousey Nitro and Kevin Nash not giving a fuck anymore.

73:00

This Is Just Evidence (10/25/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/11/14

Episode 63: The WCW Title has been vacated and now 32 wrestlers will try to claim the title. This is, of course, separate from the three porn stars/strippers that wrestle on this show but that pretty much expresses how things are going. Although Hogan's not here; so there's that.

69:48

Halloween Havoc 1999

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/10/31

Episode 62: Trick or Treat! It's the possibly the worst show we've ever reviewed so there are no treats here, though Emily does have a Slim Jim for the occasion. This show is the first Vince Russo PPV and to say it shows would be an understatement.

99:52

Enter Vince Russo (10/18/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/10/18

Episode 61: We've finally made it to the Vince Russo era. Will it feel like it on the show? 100%. but its a job we're willing to do. We also have our awards after one year of programming plus a little extra bonus quiz testing Emily's knowledge

75:40

Calm Before the Storm (10/11/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/10/12

Episode 60: The show is on autopilot tonight as the writers are about to lose their jobs. We do get Goldberg vs Hogan, but not like that. It's Horace Hogan. David Flair continues to looks like a putz and Nick and Emily argue over soda because if the writers don't need to focus, why should we?

74:58

22?! WHY ME? (10/4/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/09/30

Episode 59: Sid and Goldberg's car drama comes to an end, the Outsiders return and it's the night of the famous Owen Hart tribute match between Bret Hart and Chris Benoit. Elsewhere, Sid almost gets squashed and the Cruiserweight Title has mysteriously changed hands.

61:52

Man vs Car (9/27/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/09/16

Episode 58: It's a night of squash matches that for some reason aren't squash matches. Goldberg kills Sid's car; Berlyn continues to fall; And we get a mask vs hair match for the second time on the podcast

61:24

Oh, You Weren't Looking? (9/20/99 Nitro)

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/09/08

Episode 57: Chris Benoit finally gets his World Title shot but almost has the rug pulled out from under him again before it happens. Scott Steiner is back with a disgusting record, Surge Watch makes a triumphent return and we say good riddance to a long hated gimmick.

110:00

Wrestlemania 24

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/08/29

Episode 56: Surprise! It's a bonus episode! It's Ric Flair's last match. Shut up. Yes, it is. Lalalalalalalalala I can't hear you. Plus way more WCW tie-ins than you'd expect from a 2008 show.This episode was requested by BitS-enthusiast, Stephanie.

ECW Anarchy Rulz 1999

Butts in the Seats Podcast ·

2022/08/24

Episode 55: We go back to ECW for a PPV so extreme, it swaps an "S" for a "Z". There's two three way dances, including Taz's last match in the company. Plus we get New Jack doing his thing for better or worse. Scratch that, it's always for worse.

81:51

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.
