Episode Ninety Three - ECW Champions in WWE

Episode Ninety Three - ECW Champions in WWEIn the mid 2000s, with no real competition to speak of WWE started a love affair with the ECW Brand. Purchased after the company fell on hard times, there seemed to still be a desire in the fan base for a rebirth of the brand and after successful one night stand ppv's WWE pulled the trigger on a third brand under the name of Extreme Championship Wrestling! What followed was 4 years of a watered down product which got closer and closer every episode to the same old WWE formula, and which eventually felt very much like an after thought. However what of the champions, treated as World Champions, despite it being distinctly third behind the WWE and World Title belts, the ECW Title still held a little bit of importance. Our latest episode see's us look at every title holder and title change for the WWE ECW brand from 2006 through to 2010, from RVD through to Ezekiel Jackson...Zeek won a world belt?

WRESTLECUP EPISODE - Worst ECW Wrestler

WRESTLECUP EPISODE - Worst ECW WrestlerECW is well loved by most wrestling fans, well except Sam maybe. However as with any wrestling company, history tends to be kinder to ECW than most, but not everyone who has wrestled under the ECW banner have been well remembered. Well we are Better Call Creative, and ahead of our celebration of all things terrible, we dust of the Wrestlecup to crown the Worst ECW Wrestler of all time. After a spikey end to our WCW Starrcade Wrestlecup, this one is no more controversial, and we discover a not so secret Axl Rotten fan, the very same that said Big Dick Dudley was more of an ECW Champion than Dean Malenko! We'll leave that one with you, because well, somebody had Better Call Creative!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/better-call-creative-wrestling-podcast--3014789/support.

Episode Ninety Two - TNA Against All Odds 2011

Episode Ninety Two - TNA Against All Odds 20112011 was a strange and difficult time for TNA. Bischoff and Hogan had been with the company now a year and had given it a new look, pushed and tried different things, and we arrived in 2011 with little reward for the investment. So why not try to capture the magic of the Hogan heel turn and try to turn Hogan heel! Immortal had been born and was led by the ever babyface Jeff Hardy. Alongside this difficult to accept storyline, a much more personal one was brewing between the Angle and the Jarretts, as well as the explosion of the Dudleyz! Against All Odds 2011 stands a great tester ppv on whether the company can bounce back and where it will go from here, so we check in to review, rebook and then reimagine this pay per view! And hey, we at least have Tazz commentary to enjoy, and well you'd Better Call Creative and give thanks for that!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/better-call-creative-wrestling-podcast--3014789/support.

Episode Ninety - WCW Thunder Retrospective

Episode Ninety - WCW Thunder RetrospectiveIt is a strange thing beign a wrestling fan sometimes. Strangely something can be an utter disaster, unwanted and unwatched by fans and promoters alike during its original run, yet hold a fond place in the hearts of those who lived through it. Thunder is a little like that, one of the most requested shows on the WWE Network launch, its a show that had a very unique feel to it, by design of one Eric Bischoff. However Eric will tell you now that Thunder was a large reason for him losing momentum in the wrestling war, and was a show he didn't want. Well we look back at Thunder focusing on what it started as and what it ultimately became. A bookended episode where we review both shows and ultimately reflect on the lifespan of WCW Thunder. We round out the episode with a Fantasy card all around the WCW Videogame WCW Thunder and it's weird and wonderful characters....Veal....a wrestling Pig?
