    Episode 23: Fly Girl Lorena

    We're back with a new show looking at the January 25 and February 1, 1994 episodes of NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling. These are the final shows before one of the seminal events in early ECW and emotions are running high. Listen along with us as Terry Funk, Paul E. Dangerously for Sabu, and Shane Douglas prepare for a Three-Way Dance that will become a key moment on our journey to the Extreme. Other topics include Pat Tanaka's parentage, the bond between Sabu and The Sheik, the ECW debut of Mikey Whipwreck, and obligatory 1994 cultural references. @OhMyGodcastECW

    Episode 22: Bruno Sammartino in Drag

    Mr. "Jumpin'" TRAE "Six-Pack" Sulli and Ben E. Dangerously return to finish year one of ECW and enter year two. We briefly discuss the passing of Sabu and the disaster that was the Body Count Match before never speaking of the latter again. This week, Sabu, Terry Funk, and Shane Douglas are all contending for the ECW Heavyweight Championship in a way that will soon cross a significant line. Also, Matty in the House hawks t-shirts, The Rockin' Rebel commits an unpardonable sin, Jason's influence expands, The Sandman does car pranks, and Chad Austin rides through desert on a chokeslam from a 911 with no name. https://x.com/OhMyGodcastECW

    Episode 21: A Turkey Stuffed With $100 Bills

    This week on the Oh My Godcast, Terry Funk and Paul E. Dangerously cut their final promos for Holiday Hell as Funk searches for a few good men, but has to make do with what he can find. Meanwhile, the tag team title is on the line, Shane Douglas's motivations are unclear, and the music picker for the hype videos understands the assignment.

    Episode 20: Implied Happy Endings

    Trae and Ben return with reviews of the November 30 and December 7, 1993 episodes of NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling. This week, the promos are as good as usual and the wrestling is a little better than usual. Sabu defends the ECW Heavyweight Championship against The Tazmaniac; meanwhile, Terry Funk and Paul E. Dangerously cut promos for the Viewer's Choice match at Holiday Hell. Also, we marvel at the speed of the Pennsylvania criminal justice system as the Public Enemy have already been charged, tried, convicted, sentence, and incarcerated for a crime they committed a fortnight ago - but worry not, because they'll be out by Christmas!

    Join the boys for a show ripe with technical difficulties! This week, Trae's computer keeps going haywire when he plays the episode clips, the worst tag team division ever crowns new champions again, Terry Funk frightens Joey Styles, and wrestlers are held accountable for committing felonious assault for possibly the first and only time ever. If you're a new listener, this is a good show to start with because Paul E. Dangerously cuts a seven-minute promo explaining all of the key storylines in the territory. Enjoy!

    The boys are back with a new episode covering the October 5 and 12, 1993 episodes of NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling!
