Yep, THAT show.
One of the most infamous PPVs in WCW history and the inspiration for the Because WCW social media profile picture is the subject of episode three. Dean Ayass and Liam Happe endure Hogan vs Warrior II so, hopefully, you never feel you have to.
Plus, join them as they break down exactly how a major entertainment company can possibly run over their alloted PPV time and deny paying customers their advertised main event, costing them millions of dollars. Oh, and the duo look back at a truly wonderful classic WCW entrance theme.

Next Episode
005: Starrcade 1999
WWE has recently revived the Starrcade brand name for a house show in the old North Carolina territory. So, Dean Ayass and Liam Happe look back to one of the reasons a rival company was in a position to revive the name in the first place.
In their first look at a 'Vince Russo PPV', Dean and Liam endure all 13 - yes, thirteen - matches on a three hour show that gave us so much crap and snatched away the in-ring career of Bret 'Hitman' Hart all at the same time.
