Episode Fifty - Wrestlemania 2

Episode Fifty - Wrestlemania 2As we recover from 2 nights of Mania, its Better Call Creative's 50th episode! What better way to celebrate Wrestlemania returning with fans than to celebrate it with a review of when Wrestlemania had three sets of fans! Its the difficult sequel, its Wrestlemania 2! A show headlined by Hulk Hogan and King Kong Bundy in the Blue cage, but this Wrestlemania has much more to offer than just that. A show which bid fair well to the territorial style that Vince McMahon had worked hard to shake off, and would usher in the staples of WWF's Rock n Wrestling late 80s, early 90s style. Jake Roberts and the Macho Man all make their Wrestlemania debut. This is a Wrestlemania worthy of a recap, full of a mix bag of ups and downs, and a show that was heavy on celebrities, who may have lacked the same name value of Muhammed Ali....i mean wheres the beef?

Episode Forty Six - Texas Tornado

Episode Forty Six - Texas TornadoIn the 80s few were more over as a babyface than Kerry Von Erich, the jewel in the WCCW crown and apple of Fritz Von Erich's eye, the charismatic Kerry Von Erich was in 1990 a former AWA World Champion. However times had not been kind to him and his family, and when he joined up with the juggernaut WWF in 1990 it is fair to say his once bright star was somewhat waining. So join the BCCPod boys as they head back to 1990 and review the WWF career of the newly dubbed Texas Tornado. From highs of a title win to the lows of plugging the WBF on his way out of the company and everything in between, this is a deep dive into the WWF career of a man fondly remembered by wrestling fans. Reimagining the run with a variety of takes on the Tornado, we see if we could have done his WWF run any better, before finally wrapping up the show with a weather based gimmicks, Fantasy Card!

Episode Forty Five - NWO Souled Out

Episode Forty Five - NWO Souled Out24 years ago the landscape of the wrestling industry was shaken. The dominant WWF was left reeling by WCW whose lead over them in the ratings seemed to be getting larger by the day. The reason for this switch was in no small part down to the creation of the NWO. Lead by Hulk Hogan, the band of cool heels ran rough shot over WCW so much so that the brand grew strong enough to hold its own PPV. The rest they say is history, and we at better call creative are here to examine, reimagine and rebook this horrendous pay per view! Never has a single event better summed up the reason for the failure of WCW, so come along, and we'll call creative together!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/better-call-creative-wrestling-podcast--3014789/support.

Episode Forty Four - Batista Returns 2014Should that be Bluetista returns? The animal had been gone from WWE TV for around 4 years when he made his long awaited return in the winter of 2014, but his triumphant return quickly turned sour, are they saying Boo or Bootista?

Join the BCCPOD boys as they review this car crash before taking turns to rebook the madness to make it better. And a fantasy card to round out the episode around Bootista and Bluetista.
