The Turnbuckle Tavern Turnbuckle Tavern

In episode 23 ACEFIELD RETRO returns with MIKE BELCASTER (HE'S BACK & BETTER THAN EVER) to discuss the SEP 30th & OCT 7th episodes of MONDAY NITRO. STING has left for his hiatus and we uncovered why he left. Did you know he was set to be a small part of a huge 90s film before the scene got deleted? nWo has taken over as the WCW is back on its heels and trying to hold firm while most of the reinforcements are in Japan. Kudos to WCW for making their lack of star power into a story. We are mere weeks away from the Halloween Havoc recap from 1996 where Slim Jims ruled the world and Macho tried to save WCW from the evil grips of Hulk Hogan. Hogan allegedly wanted to do a crazy angle with Liz but it was nixed as too much for television. What was it? DEAN MALENKO gets upset against ALEX WRIGHT. What?! Public Enemy's surprising tag team title reign has seemingly come to an end and they go back to the reliable HARLEM HEAT to carry the heavy gold. RIC FLAIR tore his shoulder in Japan and other stars are getting hurt. Would this sour Bischoff's enthusiasm for the Forbidden Door concept? As usual, we dive deep into the big Papa Dave newsletter as it happened in real-time to bring in CONTEXT and help us travel completely back to 1996 to get an idea of what this event meant to WCW's drive to overtake WWF in the MONDAY NIGHT WARS. What was the rating like? Is there more drama to unpack? Can we find any parallels to the AEW situation? As always, this episode is sure to be a tremendous time with the main homie MIKE BELCASTER!
