TNA The Best Damn Wrestling Event Period – Night 2 (November 11, 2004)

I’m going to go ahead and watch Night 2 of TNA’s Best Damn Wrestling Event Period. The first one wasn’t all that great and I have zero expectations that this one is going to be any better, especially since this one guarantees us at least two matches featuring the hosts of the Best Damn Sports Show Period in action. That being said, the thing I most like watching and reviewing on this site are the weird one-offs and there’s nothing weirder than a one-off crossover with a late night sports talk show. So let’s get to it.

TNA The Best Damn Wrestling Event Period – Night 1 (November 10, 2004)

So way back in 2004, TNA called Fox Sports Net home. As a bit of cross-promotion the powers that be allowed TNA to air two nights of special wrestling based installments of another Fox Sports Net program, The Best Damn Sports Show Period. I’ve never seen an episode of that particular program but Wikipedia tells me that it “regularly featured irreverent and opinionated interviews with top athletes, coaches, celebrities, and entertainers,” and based on the stuff on this episode that seems to be a fair description of the show. Anyway this had actual matches on it and it was only an hour long so I figured I give it a watch as it’s something I’ve never actually seen before.

ECW Hardcore TV (November 29, 1994)

I guess because I watched a couple episodes of WWECW on YouTube, the ol’ YouTube algorithm has decided to start autoplaying other ECW stuff after videos I watch so today we’ve got a random-ass episode of ECW from back when it was an upstart wrestling promotion in Philadelphia or whatever euphamism WWF and WCW used to use when talking about it in the 90s. This is the November 29, 1994 installment of Hardcore TV (which the show might not even actually be called at this point). I’ve never seen this episode before since I didn’t start watching ECW until 1995 and only made it about halfway through 1994 the last time I got on an ECW kick so let’s see what sort of wildness we’ve got here.

NWA:TNA Weekly PPV #53 (July 16, 2003)

I continue to haphazardly make my way through IMPACT Wrestling’s 20 year history with another one of their weekly PPVs, specifically the July 16, 2003 show from the Asylum in Nashville, Tennessee. Don’t know anything about it save for the fact that it’s about a month after the one year anniversary show I watched a few weeks back.

NWA:TNA Weekly PPV #49 (June 18, 2003)

I’m thinking about maybe becoming an Impact Wrestling guy this year so I went and watched one of the full length shows they have up on their YouTube channel, specifically the First Anniversary Show from June 18, 2003. Here are some words about it.

WCW Halloween Havoc 1989: Settling The Score (October 28, 1989)

So it was Halloween which means I wanted to watch some Halloween themed wrestling bullshit. Luckily for me the cheap as free tier of the award winning WWE Network has my back and has put up a bunch of old WCW Halloween Havoc PPV as this month’s freebies unfortunately they kept the one I really wanted to see, Halloween Havoc ‘91, behind the paywall so I decided to check on ‘89 inside because it’s one I don’t think I’d ever seen before so let’s get spooky!

WCW Monday Nitro (August 7, 2000)

I’ve been on a bit of a WCW jag as of late for reasons that I cannot entirely comprehend and as I have no WWE Network I’ve been relying entirely on stuff posted on YouTube and things I had on an old-ass external hard drive. Today we’re taking a break from the early Nitro era stuff I’ve been looking at and head into much more awful territory. That’s right boys and girls, it’s time for an episode of WCW NITRO FROM THE YEAR 2000 BABY!

TNA Impact! (October 1, 2005)

After watching the debut episode of NWA:TNA on YouTube the other day I’ve decided to get really into covering Impact Wrestling, but I’m too lazy to do any actual work so I’m just going to watch the random stuff they’ve got up on their YouTube channel completely devoid of context. Today we’re looking at the October 1, 2005 episode of TNA Impact.

WCW Monday Nitro (July 10, 2000)

I somehow skipped this episode of Nitro while playing along at home with the Keep it 2000 podcast and since they’ve closed up shop for the foreseeable future I figured I might as well fill in this gap in my own reviews.

WCW Monday Nitro (August 14, 2000)

We’re one day removed from one of the worst goddamn PPVs I’ve ever seen in my life, New Blood Rising. How will WCW follow up with that dumpster fire? Let’s check out this episode of Nitro from 2000 and find out!
