Wrestlecup Episode - Worst 90s Gimmick

Wrestlecup Episode - Worst 90s GimmickSome of us look back at the 90s very fondly. Be it Britpop or the emergence of the Internet. The 90s was an amazing decade full of iconic moments. Wrestling much like in the 80s, was a big part of the 90s, with the emergence of Attitude from the New Generation at the turn of the decade! Out was saying your prayers, and in was flipping off the boss, but not everything in the 90s can be remembered fondly. It featured some of the strangest, bizarre characters and gimmicks you could ever think of, be it The Goon, or TL Hopper, the Yeti or Beaver Cleavage, this decade had some of the worst bits of wrestling's past! Well for the first time in 2022 Better Call Creative dust off the Wrestlecup to crown the worst 90s wrestling gimmick! A 32 random draw knockout tournament will crown our winner and be for ever known as the Worst of Wrestlings 90s Gimmicks!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/better-call-creative-wrestling-podcast--3014789/support.

Episode Seventy Nine - Victory Road 2009

Episode Seventy Nine - Victory Road 2009After a few good years in TNA history, the company had pulled over 1 million viewers, moved to prime time on Saturday Nights, and acquired some top talent! By 2009 though, the company was in a little lull period. Big names like Mick Foley, Booker T and Kevin Nash were no longer turning heads, and there was a big Red and Yellow storm cloud coming! Victory Road 2009 could sum up a time period in 3 hours. The Main Event Mafia was running rough shot over TNA led by the Godfather Kurt Angle, the X Division was no longer a focal point for the company, pushed aside for the Legends Title, and in a desperate attempt to draw new eyes, Jenna Morasca, a z list American celebrity was pulled in for American Survivor. What that resulted in, many would call the worst match in TNA History. It's Victory Road 2009, opening with the immortal lines, I Will become...but what it became, is one of the worst TNA ppvs of all time!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/better-call-creative-wrestling-podcast--3014789/support.

WATCHALONG EPISODE - Hulk Hogan’s Rock N Wrestling

WATCHALONG EPISODE - Hulk Hogan's Rock N WrestlingWrestling experiences Boom periods and other times when it hits a lull. We all know the boom time in the late 90s, when Attitude reigned and Austin and Goldberg ruled the tv sets, but it should never be forgotten how popular Wrestling was in the mid to late 80s. Driven by MTV, this period has been dubbed the Rock N Wrestling era since, and one man led front and centre. HULK! SO popular was he, that he dominated pop culture as a whole, front the WWF's attempt to break into the Saturday Morning Cartoon market, with Hulk Hogan's Rock n Wrestling! So why did this show not get off the ground? Was it down to the questionable choices to give voice actors to all the characters, (some much better than others...James Avery), or was the quality just not there? We head back to watch an episode through adult eyes to see if we can work out why Rock n Wrestling is only really remembered now by the 80s wrestling fan! So head over to Youtube, and pop on our podcast, and enjoy Rock n Wrestling, with Better Call Creative!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/better-call-creative-wrestling-podcast--3014789/support.
