Episode LXVII: AWA WrestleRock 1986

The Conquistabores ·

2025/09/21

Boy that was a long time to edit; blame a hot summer, birthdays and the youngest making his way to big school. All the emotions! Much like (ahem) watching AWA WrestleRock 1986 which takes you all the way from excitement through to boredom with the odd stop off at "what the hell?" which probably has a German word that sums it up better than that. Despite the litany of late eighties WWF faces Al is absent for this one so its just Phil, Cam and Euan left to work their way through this crazy show. Do

Episode LXV: WWF SummerSlam 1992

The Conquistabores ·

2025/03/09

The Conquistabores are nothing if not on trend which is why they're looking at a SummerSlam PPV in March. Although, apparently this weekend has seen the hottest day of the year so since we can feel the heat why not do a SummerSlam? And its a belter as well as we head on down to the Old Smoke for SummerSlam 1992 in Merry Old England's very own Wembley Stadium. And thats the old slightly rubbish one, not the newer one, the one with the bad sight lines that peaked with Live Aid. Its a roller coaster of

Episode LXIV: The Best Things in The Last Ten Years(ish)

The Conquistabores ·

2025/02/02

Naturally, after the Ten Year Anniversary episode The Conquistabores went on an extended Summer/Autumn/Christmas break but don't worry because they're back! And in celebration of being around for ten years they're discussing the Best Things In Wrestling in the Last 10 Years. 10 Yeas ish, there are a few that need a bit of leeway. But they're good though, so its all fine! Its fine! Cam, Euan, Phil and Geordie Al all turn up their list of things they like, but don't worry they still make time for some

Episode LXIII: WWF WrestleMania X8

The Conquistabores ·

2024/07/07

So here we are; the 10 Year Anniversary Episode of The Conquistabores podcast which, in true fashion, is about 3 months late. But don't let that stop you checking out this great episode as we check out WrestleMania X8! Thats right, as its 10 years since the first show why not do a WrestleMania 10 years on from the first show? By that logic you should have a spoiler for the show we'll be doing in another 10 year. Anyhoo, this show is all about a certain match that has gone down in history, but after

Episode LXII: ECW Heat Wave 1998

The Conquistabores ·

2024/04/28

And here we are again, during one of the wettest months of the year so far with unseasonal low temperatures feeling the heat once again with ECW Heat Wave 1998! Oh yes, we're in for a treat here with what is regarded as one of the best of the ECW pay oer views. But is it though? The Conquistabires are nothing if not contrary so tune in to see what the actual truth about the show will be! Its the usual crew of Euan, Cam, Phil and Hot Sauce Geordie Al so join them for a ridiculous amount of chair

Episode LXI: SummerSlam 1996

The Conquistabores ·

2024/03/24

So its a couple of weeks late thanks to illness and forgetfulness but its finally here: the latest episode of The Conquistabores! Yep, as as the weather is on the turn its an obvious time to feel the heat of the summer with SummerSlam 1996! Yep, its a moody Shawn Michaels, lick-able pipes in a boiler room and more Sunny than you can shake a stick at. Is it a classic or is it a bit pants thanks to being in that weird crossover period between The Attitude Era and The New Generation? I'll tell you

Episode LX: Royal Rumble 1988

The Conquistabores ·

2024/01/28

Good Lord, its that most rare of beasts: a Conquistabores podcast that is actually the same one as one thats just happened in real life! Thats right, don't bother watching this year's Royal Rumble, get this podcast about a really old one listened! And bye old, I mean the very first in 1988! And, as an extra treat, will be having a bit of chat about another wrestling show that aired the very same night, the NWA Bunkhouse Stampede! Oh Lord, its going to be a belter, or as close to that as we can

Episode LIX: Survivor Series 2002

The Conquistabores ·

2023/11/26

Due to a combination of sickness and outright forgetfulness its a Three Man Booth for the Conquistabores this week, which is perfect because this week we're looking at Survivor Series 2002! Where teams of three strive to...survive? And there isn't even a proper survivor series match on this one. But what we do have is the first ever Elimination Chamber match so, you know, swings and roundabouts and all that. So, join Cam, Euan and Hot Sauce Geordie Al as they break this one done, figure out how much

Episode LVIII: Halloween Havoc 1991

The Conquistabores ·

2023/10/30

OH MY GOD ITS THE SPOOKIEST TIME OF THE YEAR which can only mean one thing; the most HORRIFIC and TERRIFYING pay per view event of ALL TIME. Maybe. But how many wrestling shows that you know of have a man being ELECTROCUTED live on air? How many have ACTUAL GHOULS on the ramp? And what about THE GREAT OZ, surely the most horrific thing in all of wrestling? There maybe some sarcasm in there, or maybe not? Who knows. I tell you who does know, thats the Conquistabores! And in the Mystery Machine this

Episode LVII: King of The Ring 1994

The Conquistabores ·

2023/10/01

It's a week late, thanks to a move to university (insert gif of the bad guy ageing to a skeleton from The Last Crusade) but your latest Conquistabores has finally made it; we're going back to 1994 for King of The Ring! Yep, its the WWF New Generation, its Baltimore and its Art Donovan asking how much you weigh. Is that a bad thing? You'll certainly hear some opinions about that in this show, so pull up a throne next to Cam, Phil, Euan and Hot Sauce Geordie Alan Milburn and join the fun! Sorry, I

Episode LVI: SuperBrawl I

The Conquistabores ·

2023/08/27

We're back on the PPV road and this week we're back to WCW in 1991. Now, whilst the boys have a great affinity for the early 90s, this isn't whats known as a great period for World Championship Wrasslin'. But this show will be a good one, right? You've got the Steiners on the card, Ric Flair versus Tatsuji Fujinami, a THUNDER DOME CAGE match? It must be a winner, right? Well, you can probably already guess the answer but regardless make sure to check it out with Euan, Cam, Phil and Hot Sauce Geordie

Episode LV: The True Lineage of The Royal Samovar Trophy

The Conquistabores ·

2023/07/30

In what can only be described as one of the greatest feats of research in the history of Broadcast Journalism, The Conquistabores are proud to present to you The True Lineage of The Royal Samovar Trophy. Well, Hot Sauce Geordie Alan presents The True Lineage of The Royal Samovar Trophy because he did all the research. But you can't spell team without "random chat" so Cam, Phil and Euan also bring some research to the table around the topic of "Crap Wrestling Trophies". Yep, we're talking crappy

Episode LIV: The Big Event

The Conquistabores ·

2023/06/25

After back to back episodes based in London what better than a trip north of the border to...Canada? Yep, we're talking mid-eighties, we're talking Hulkamania, we're talking a baseball stadium! What could go wrong? Well, a fair bit but we're getting ahead of ourselves; join Hot Sauce Geordie Al, Euan, Phil and Cam as they dissect this bonkers show that was only available on VHS and drew a crowd of over 60 thousand. And crisps, there's a good bit of crisp chat as well. But mainly wrestling! Ish

Episode LIII: NXT TakeOver London

The Conquistabores ·

2023/05/28

This episode the Conquistabores stay in London, this time checking out NXT TakeOver London! Thats right, we're talking Finn Balor and Hug Era Bayley and loads of crowd chants and some other folk who are no longer with the company. Does this show from the NXT golden era still stand up? Or has the lustre now been lost somewhat since the heady days of 2016? And yes, despite Al's protests this does count as a retro show so lets go for it! So join Euan, Phil, Cam (mostly) and Geordie Al as they travel to

Episode LII: Battle Royal at The Royal Albert Hall

The Conquistabores ·

2023/04/30

What better way to celebrate the upcoming crowing of a new monarch that with this show; not only does it have the word Royal in the title but also is for a Royal Trophy! Alright, its essentially a fancy tea pot but its a Royal one so it counts. Anyways, we're back to early 90s WWF which means plenty of neon in the crowd and gimmicks all over the place. Euan, Cam, Phil and Hot Sauce Geordie AL (when he shows up) are ready to go through this show top to bottom will confirm just how Royal it is. By

Episode LI: SummerSlam 1989

The Conquistabores ·

2023/03/26

After the sheer joy of the No Holds Barred watch along from last week, what better way to follow up than with SummerSlam 1989? I mean, anything without Zeus probably would have been a good shout but that literally isn't how it works around these parts; we have to embrace the nonsense of The Human Wrecking Machine, enjoy his growling and dive right into the Cauldron of Madness. Luckily thanks to a plague house Phil dodged this particular bullet leaving Cam, Euan and Geordie Al to dry and find some

Episode L: No Holds Barred

The Conquistabores ·

2023/02/26

So we've made it; probably years behind schedule but we've done 50 episodes of everyone's fifth favourite (a best) wrestling podcast. And what better way to celebrate than to all sit about watching a terrible wrestling film. Yes, if you've already read the title above, you'll have realised that on this episode Phil, Euan, Cam and Hot Sauce Geordie Al are all sitting down to watch the 1989 Hulk Hogan vehicle No Holds Barred. Is this a good idea? Objectively it isn't but we're here anyway, so find the

Episode XLIX: Halloween Havoc 1994

The Conquistabores ·

2022/09/25

After a heatwave, several birthdays, redecorating a bathroom and a trip to Bicester Phil has finally got around to posting our latest episode. And what an episode it is; a trip to WCW in the Pre-NWO Hogan years which can only mean a PPV stuffed with lots of his pals on sweet contracts. But there must be something good in this show right? Especially the main even Hulk Hogan in a steel cage loser must retire match with...Ric Flair? Oh boy. Tune in a listen to Euan, Cam, Phil and Hot Sauce Geordie Al

Episode XLVIII: Survivor Series 1991

The Conquistabores ·

2022/06/26

A bit delayed again (there was something to blame but I forget now) but never mind; once again we're rocking up at the Joe Louis Arena this time for the glory of Survivor Series 1991! Witness the glory of Ric Flair's knock off belt! Gasp at the death (ish) of Hulkamania! Then ask what the hell we're thinking as we roll straight the sequel PPV This Tuesday In Texas! Yes, its a 2 for 1, which is a great deal right? I mean, the quality of the shows are somewhat suspect so as deals go its not that great

Episode XLVII: Vengeance 2002

The Conquistabores ·

2022/04/10

A bit delayed (but aren't they always?) but here we are again making a stop this time at the start of the Ruthless Aggression era. Brock Lesnar! John Cena! Taz on commentary! Oh yes, all the classics here. And in honour of the triple threat main event this is a triple threat show as Hot Sauce Geordie Alan blows off the show record for the local darts team. Can you blame him? Well, yes you can. Enjoy the show!
