    Retro Wrestling Re-View WCW Podcast Ep. 5: WrestleWar '89 Music City Showdown

    The Retro Wrestling Re-View WCW Podcast continues as Gene Jackson and Bob Anderson head to Nashville, Tennessee for WrestleWar ’89: Music City Showdown, a pay-per-view caught right in the middle of WCW’s turbulent early 1989 transition period. Coming off Clash of the Champions VI and the abrupt firing of George Scott, WCW presents a show that feels directionless at times, yet still manages to feature flashes of brilliance. Gene and Bob break down a strange, uneven card highlighted by Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat for the World Heavyweight Championship with judges at ringside in case of a draw, The Great Muta shows a TON of potential already, Terry Funk officially igniting his legendary 1989 feud with Flair, and an unexpected U.S. Title change involving “Mike P.S. Hayes” and “the Total Package” Lex Luger. Along the way, the guys discuss: * WCW’s creative uncertainty/insanity in early 1989 * Flair vs. Steamboat and the post match attack NO ONE saw coming * Terry Funk’s table spot that flips the switch on WCW ’89 * Doug Gilbert stepping in for Junkyard Dog * Varsity Club overload and other questionable booking decisions * Why WrestleWar ’89 is a look at an odd moment in WCW history It’s a show full of contradictions part classic, part chaos and Gene and Bob break it all down with humor, context, and plenty of side commentary. Check out Gene & Bob’s fun wrestling comedy/parody promotion “Outlaw Rasslin Federation that ran for 52 episodes!https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj5Zx1HZR2NlpRtuhrXoBImFRp50GjsIE&si=VJoiV4c87yIsZn_7 This is a public episode.

    WTF News Desk - December 2025

    It’s time for the December edition of WTF News Desk, where Brian Tramel and Gene Jackson once again attempt to make sense of a wrestling world that absolutely refuses to make ANY sense.

On this month’s WTF News Desk: * The annual WTF-inator Award, and why the winner somehow won it without even being in WWE all year this year * Dave Meltzer’s star ratings, injury stats, and definitions of “heat” that spark another round of what the f*? * AEW vs WWE ratings talk, Tony Khan optimism, and Dave doing mental gymnastics to explain it all * The referee controversy everyone argued about… and why the ref actually did his job * John Cena retirement discourse, grifters crawling out of the woodwork, and lawsuit timing that feels way too convenient * WrestleCade madness: stolen megaphones, missing belts, and convention chaos * Ric Flair drunken cameo embarrassment, Darby Allin setting his brother ON FIRE, and fans spending way too much money on bad ideas * Nikki Bella rumors, social media nonsense, and why wrestlers should stop oversharing * A deep (and funny) breakdown of what “heat” actually means in wrestling — from people who’ve lived it and experienced it As always, this isn’t a news show in the traditional sense — it’s a monthly therapy session for wrestling fans trying to survive the internet age. If you like your wrestling commentary:✔️ Smart✔️ Sarcastic✔️ Old-school leaning✔️ And completely unimpressed by bad takes …then you’re in the right place. 📌 New episodes monthly📌 Full shows and exclusives on Patreon📌 Like, subscribe, and embrace the madness This is a public episode.
