A Tribute to Scott Hall - Watchalong

Sat, 30 Apr 2022 18:00:00 +0000

Today's episode emphasises the legacy and talent of Scott Hall, who passed away March 14th 2022.

An embodiment of charisma and machismo very rarely seen in wrestling, he can be accredited as the man to first move the needle in the last great wrestling boom period, jumping unexpectedly to WCW from the then WWF, interrupting a match, cutting a promo, and starting the momentum for a new era which would snowball into the birth of the nWo.

Prior to that, he was Razor Ramon in the WWF / WWE. And we take a look at some of his not-so-talked-about matches there in this episode.

Episode 41 - November 4th, 1996

Mon, 18 Apr 2022 18:00:00 +0000

From Grand Rapids, MI, comes the latest instalment in the WCW Nitro 1996 timeline, with Booker T, Brad Armstrong, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Dean Malenko, Diamond Dallas Page, Hector Guerrero, Ice-Train, Lex Luger, M. Wallstreet, Madusa, Marcus Alexander Bagwell, Reina Jubuki, Scotty Riggs, Sister Sherri, Teddy Long, The Giant, Woman all in action, as well as appearances by Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Steve 'Mongo' McMichael, Debra, and many more.

The boys also discuss the recent Wrestlemania and much more.

As usual, @NitroGenCast has you covered everywhere, and we'd like to thank you all for the support and listens to our little podcast.

Episode 40 - October 28th, 1996

Mon, 28 Mar 2022 18:00:00 +0000

This episode was recorded prior to the sad passings of both Scott Hall and Foo Fighters' drummer Taylor Hawkins. We look forward to remembering these two icons in particular on a future episode recording, given their respective influence on both our lives.

Coming live 25+ years after its original broadcast from Phoenix, Arizona, the boys cover the latest instalment of WCW Nitro, with all the fall-out from Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc 1996. This will include a return of the elusive WCW World Television Title, as Lord Steven Regal (c) puts it on the line against Juventud Guerrera. Diamond Dallas Page will take on Mike Enos in a surprisingly good contest, while WCW World Cruiserweight Champion Dean Malenko will give the not-so-Crusier Jim Powers (w/Teddy Long) a shot at that. Jeff Jarrett takes on Ricky Morton, The Amazing French Canadians (Carl Ouellet & Jacques Rougeau) battle High Voltage (Kenny Kaos & Robbie Rage), Rey Misterio Jr. / Rey Mysterio will face Jimmy Graffiti. a legitimately injured Eddie Guerrero braves it against the "injured" Chris Benoit (w/Woman), Booker T (w/Sister Sherri) and Lex Luger throw down, and there's a surprise or two in the mix also, including an appearance from STING. The boys will also discuss some of the crazy world we live in right now, Ric Flair, Mark Madden, Jerry Springer and more.

As usual, @NitroGenCast has you covered everywhere, and we'd like to thank you all for the support and listens to our little podcast.

Episode 1 - September 4th (Revisited)

Thu, 26 Mar 2020 01:51:59 +0000

The debut episode of NitroGen Podcast covers a quick introduction to both co-hosts, as well as the first WCW Nitro show itself.

(This early episode of the NitroGen Podcast was recorded with some distorted audio, but future episodes were recorded with vastly improved audio and editing. For this reason, we have now archived the original episode, and replaced it with a milestone celebration episode.)
