    Dark Side of the Ring and NWA Saturday Night June 21, 1986

    What's up, Bubba?! This week on The Bubba Cast, Lacy and Zerpie head back to June 21, 1986, as World Championship Wrestling barrels toward the Great American Bash. The Four Horsemen are running wild, Ric Flair is at peak Flair, Dusty Rhodes is riding through the stratosphere on the end of a lightning bolt—and Big Bubba Rogers calmly eats a very real wooden chair shot without even losing his hat. Lacy also shares her thoughts on the Big Boss Man episode of Dark Side of the Ring and what it has been like watching her father’s story reach an entirely new generation of wrestling fans. Then Zerpie puts her wrestling knowledge to the test with a superstar entrance-music quiz. Classic wrestling, family history, questionable Russian accents, and seven glorious matches—some considerably more glorious than others.

    The Boss in a 6-man tag - WCW Saturday Night January 22, 1994

    Sup, Bubba!? This week we're back at Center Stage for the final stop before Clash of the Champions XXVI, and WCW is stacking the deck. Ric Flair, Sting, and The Boss unite for Ray's shocking WCW debut, taking on Rick Rude, Steve Austin, and a mystery partner hand-picked by Col. Rob Parker. Along the way, we witness the continued rise of Vader, the heel turn of Ron Simmons, the debut of Jungle Jim Steel, and some unforgettable promos that only 1994 wrestling could deliver. We'll also break down: The Boss settling into his new WCW role just one week after his debut. Steve Austin before the Attitude Era—already showing flashes of greatness. Why the Nasty Boys vs. Cactus Jack & Maxx Payne was one of WCW's wildest rivalries. Brian Pillman preparing to make Colonel Rob Parker wear a chicken suit. Jesse Ventura delivering some unintentionally hilarious commentary. And plenty of behind-the-scenes context, history, and stories you won't catch just watching the show. Join us as we revisit another chapter in Ray Traylor's career and continue the road toward one of WCW's biggest television events of 1994.

    Big Boss Man Vs. Mr. Perfect - WrestleMania VII

    Sup, Bubba?! On this episode of The Bubba Cast, we dive into WrestleMania VII, taking place March 24, 1991 in Los Angeles at the LA Memorial Sports Arena. From the opening bell to the main event, this card is stacked with moments that feel larger than life—and somewhere between the red, white, and blue overload, the random celebrity cameos, and a full-on intermission (??), sits one of Lacy’s dad’s most iconic matches with a cameo by Andre the Giant. We’ve got The Rockers flying, The Undertaker quietly beginning a decades-long win streak, and a career-ending war between Randy Savage and Ultimate Warrior that somehow turns into one of the most emotional moments in WrestleMania history. And then there’s the main event—Hulk Hogan vs. Sgt. Slaughter—a full-on red, white, and blue fever dream where wrestling blurs into real-world tension. But beyond the spectacle, this episode continues the journey of understanding why Big Boss Man mattered in this era—standing toe-to-toe with Mr. Perfect and the entire Heenan Family in a match that’s less about gold and more about justice. Because if Bobby Heenan doesn’t stop running his mouth about Boss Man’s mom… he’s gonna get it.

    Big Boss Man Vs. Big Show - Armageddon 1999

    Sup, Bubba?! On this episode of The Bubba Cast, we are covering Armageddon 1999. The main event might be Vince McMahon vs. Triple H… but let’s be real—we sat through all three hours to get to the real main event: Big Boss Man vs. The Big Show and the unhinged “dear ole daddy” feud that somehow made it onto pay-per-view television. If you’ve been riding with us, you already know—we covered the funeral incident back in Episode 9. This week is the payoff. The closeout. The final chapter of one of the most absurd, over-the-line storylines the World Wrestling Federation ever put on screen. We spend real time breaking all of it down—the buildup, the disrespect, what they were going for, and how it actually lands… especially when the match itself barely lasts longer than a commercial break.  And yeah, the rest of the card is exactly what you’d expect from 1999: A battle royal where the rules are optional Kurt Angle getting booed for being technically perfect A women’s segment that… didn’t age great (unless you're a man) Kane vs. X-Pac with completely backwards stipulations Chris Jericho vs. Chyna quietly carrying the wrestling side And a main event that turns into a full arena-wide fight with a swerve that changes everything.  This one’s messy. It’s ridiculous. It crosses every line. And somehow… it’s still required viewing.

    Big Boss Man Vs. Earthquake

    What's up, Bubba?! This week, we’re diving into the 1991 Survivor Series Showdown special that aired on USA Network — and it’s absolute early-90s WWF chaos. Big Boss Man vs. Earthquake. Ric Flair declaring himself the real world champion. Undertaker smashing Hogan with the urn. And yes… Jake Roberts unleashing the king cobra on Randy Savage. We break down the madness, the promos, the storytelling, and the road to Survivor Series 1991 — when wrestling felt larger than life and completely unhinged in the best way. Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/flqbBRYUEHM?si=4A54DPotJxu6CNaw Classic WWF energy. High drama. Peak nostalgia.

    The Great American Bash 1987

    What's up, Bubba?! On Episode 22 of The Bubba Cast, we take a deep dive into the wrestling history lesson that is The Great American Bash of 1987. From the brutal debut of War Games to barbed wire chaos and title fights, this episode walks through the matches, moments, and madness that defined an era. We break down the origins of War Games, the dominance of the Four Horsemen, Dusty Rhodes leading the charge for the babyfaces, and the sheer carnage inside the double cages. Along the way, we revisit classic clashes featuring Ric Flair, the Road Warriors, Lex Luger, the Rock & Roll Express, Midnight Express, and more, while also unpacking some of the storytelling quirks, rule confusion, and unforgettable personalities that made late-80s wrestling so electric. From blood-and-guts brawling to ladder match insanity and championship drama, this episode celebrates a tour that helped shape modern wrestling spectacle — and reminds us why this era still hits hard decades later. Whether you're reliving it or discovering it for the first time, this one is pure wrestling nostalgia.

    Big Boss Man and Bull Buchanan Vs. The Dudley Boyz in a tables match

    Sup, Bubba?! On episode 21 of The Bubba Cast, Lacy and Zerpie dig into a hard-to-find episode of WWF Sunday Night Heat from June 4, 2000, taped at the Tacoma Dome and pulled from a grainy VHS upload with rough audio and weird pacing, but the Attitude Era is in full effect. We break down the King of the Ring qualifiers, including Chyna advancing with a little help from Eddie Guerrero, Perry Saturn showing off why he ruled No Mercy, Val Venis moving on with Trish Stratus at ringside, and a stiff Intercontinental Title match between Rikishi and Chris Benoit. The focus of the episode, of course, is the Tables Match between Big Boss Man & Bull Buchanan vs. The Dudley Boyz — a messy, punch-heavy brawl that feels very Heat. Along the way, we talk McMahon-Helmsley Regime chaos, the three-way race for the WWF Championship, random commercials, and all the little moments that made Sunday Night Heat exactly what it was.
