SEASON 2 - EPISODE EIGHTEEN - Royal Rumble 1999

SEASON 2 - EPISODE EIGHTEEN - Royal Rumble 1999Timing in life is everything isn't it. Given the terrible revelations and at the time of publishing, allegations about Vince McMahon, it is somewhat poorly timed that we would release a podcast looking back at his Royal Rumble win. However, creatively this show is a show that has performed poorly against the now lengthy Royal Rumble history. A Royal Rumble built around the biggest storyline in wrestling possibly ever in Austin v McMahon, and the collatoral damage seemingly was the rest of the roster. The Attitude Era was built around big brash characters, but some characters shine brighter than others, and on this show, only two stars shone brightly. Oh and we haven't got to Mankind taking seven unprotected chair shots to the head. This, unfortunately is not a Rumble to Remember.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/better-call-creative-wrestling-podcast--3014789/support.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE SEVENTEEN - Giants in Wrestling

SEASON 2 - EPISODE SEVENTEEN - Giants in WrestlingIn the immortal words of the Hall of Fame opener, it started with one! Well kind of anyway. For many when you say Giant and Wrestling, Andre will be the first name from their lips. So imposing was his legacy that it can be easy to forget those who came before and after him. However the legacy he carved has meant that the world of wrestling has been littered with Giants. No podcast could review them all, and plenty small time 6 foot plus Giants have had to be cut away until those who tower above even the greats like Kane and Undertaker remain. We will be country hopping, bouncing around the era's to celebrate the Giants of Wrestling, no matter there in ring ability. Raja Lion and all.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE SIXTEEN - Starrcade 1998

SEASON 2 - EPISODE SIXTEEN - Starrcade 1998We round out the year in wrestling tradition as we look back on Starrcade from 1998. One of the biggest years in WCW history, and whilst the 83 weeks dominance of WWF has now gone, WCW continue to look strong with the rise of the undefeated WCW Champion Goldberg going into 1999! All he must do is survive the challenge of Kevin Nash....so what could possibly go wrong! Then there is the return of the Nature Boy Ric Flair! Gone for almost a year, Slick Ric is back and ready to give the WCW fans what they want in kicking the butt of Eric Bischoff....what could possibly go wrong? Oh and then there is Jerry Flynn teaming with Fit Finlay to face NWO B Team members Brian Adams and Scott Norton...ok well we know whats wrong with that! A card that lacked a lot of depth but nonetheless had star power, so why was it so bad?

SEASON 2 - EPISODE SIXTEEN - Crown Jewel 2018It's Christmas time and we wanteed to keep everything on gimmick, and celebrate all things christmas....but that Saudi Blood Money was just all too much to turn down so we are going back to 2018 and the return match for Shawn Michaels! DX versus the Brothers of Destruction and a World Cup! Well.....it's not quite as great as it sounds on paper...or maybe it is! Yes its the match where Triple H tears his pectorial muscle, and where Kane's mask just falls off! Who cares though because nobody in the crowd seem to! The one thing you should care about is that Shane McMahon wins the Best in the World cup without being in the tournament!

Happy Christmas everyone!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/better-call-creative-wrestling-podcast--3014789/support.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE FIFTEEN- AEW All Out 2020

SEASON 2 - EPISODE FIFTEEN- AEW All Out 20202020 was hardly a stealler year for any industry, but with the recovery from covid in its early stages, the wrestling industry had been hit pretty hard. A commitment to delver a product for an audiance unable to watch it live meant stilted stage hands at ringsides, with little to no atmosphere being created. AEW was starting to flesh out its roster, picking up some of WWE's biggest talent in FTR, Brody Lee and Miro but was struggling to continue it's early momentum. All Out 2020 stands out as the companies first big miss of a ppv. And we are here for that kind of mishap! A tooth and nail cinematic match which failed to demonstrate the same feeling as the Boneyard Match that had been such a success, and Matt Hardy being knocked out in the first few minutes of his match with the company choosing to allow him to continue... all rounded out by the very marmite Mimosa Mayhem match between Orange Cassidy and Chris Jericho! Join Better Call Creative as we relive the event and reimagine what it could have been. Playing out our episode is the amazing Valium Gorilla's a local band to us in the Midlands (UK), with their track All Roads Lead To!

SEASON 2 - EPISODE FOURTEEN- Survivor Series 1994

SEASON 2 - EPISODE FOURTEEN- Survivor Series 1994It's the Annual Thanks Giving Tradition! It's the Survivor Series! Yes this maybe the least important of the so called big ppvs, but it still has played host to many memorable moments. The Screwjob, the Undertaker's Debut, Stings WWE Debut....and Dink, Wink and Pink! 1994 was a very strange year for the wwf, coming of a successful steriod trial, Vince McMahon was left with little confidence in his top babyface, and despite having some talented young stars, the tried and tested were given the rub here. Five matches and 3 of them won by 40+ stars, one ending the title reign of the Hitman! It's fair to say somebody had Better Call Creative about this one!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/better-call-creative-wrestling-podcast--3014789/support.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE THIRTEEN- TNA Destination X 2007

SEASON 2 - EPISODE THIRTEEN- TNA Destination X 2007Oh how we've missed TNA. It was great news to hear that Impact Wrestling will return to the once loved brand of TNA Wrestling in early 2024. We will be back to celebrate TNA's legacy around that time but before we do, we are checking out one of the reasons why the brand needed a break. In 2007 TNA was expanding it's roster and it's global appeal. Kurt Angle was the poster boy whilst the likes of Christian, AJ Styles, Sting and Samoa Joe padded out a strong roster of talent. However in true TNA style, despite having plenty of positive tools in their armour, management had decided to try to recreate a buzz from a decade past. Vince Russo, a fairly devisive booker was in charge of most of the creative at the time, and Destination X was well and truly out of his copy book. A Double Bull Rope Match, an Elevation X match, a Last Rites Match and a Ghetto Brawl all happening on a card so overbooked that the cries of Fire Russo would echo around the arena. Was it that bad though? And can we unpick the damage done by Mr Russo?

SEASON 2 - EPISODE TWELVE- ECW November to Remember 1996

SEASON 2 - EPISODE TWELVE- ECW November to Remember 1996We take a well earned vacation in the land of extreme and head back to Autumn 1996, and a November to Remember! ECW were riding high, with a tv deal being ut together and a long awaited debut on ppv a few months away, this card was set to build the main event for that show, Taz versus Sabu! What a build, and what a moment on this card as the lights went out just as they were about to hook up....and another hour of wrestling took place after! ECW got so many things right but there is no doubting they got plenty wrong and this card can be summed up in that manner, the rights and the wrongs! The BWO were taking over as Scorpio was gone in a Flash, and Brian Lee was main eventing a major show in 1996! Main Event Brian Lee?

SEASON 2 - EPISODE ELEVEN- Halloween Havoc 1991

SEASON 2 - EPISODE ELEVEN- Halloween Havoc 1991We have reached the end of our Horror Month here on Better Call Creative and we land on All Hallows Eve, Halloween night and we are reviewing Halloween Havoc 1991. Remembered for the Chamber of Horrors match, an 8 man tag taking place inside a cage structure where the match ends when somebody is legitimately put into the electric chair. All that screams Halloween and Horror, but what we got was a Horrorshow for all the wrong reasons, and of course, that is what we are here for! When we discuss the worst of wrestling, Halloween Havoc 1991 lives up to that moniker but not just for the Chamber of Horrors match! How about The Creatures? Van hammer? The Halloween Phantom? This show just keeps upping the ante when it comes to the worst of Wrestling, and we love it for it! Somebody had better call creative about this one!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/better-call-creative-wrestling-podcast--3014789/support.
