Mike Tyson | 37
The 1990s are consider by many to be the last great era of heavyweight boxing. Fighters like Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, and Riddick Bowe dominated the sport. But there was one boxer who stood out from the rest. Mike Tyson was a goliath in the boxing world in the 80s and into the early 90s until his career and personal life fell apart.
On this episode of History of the 90s we will take you through Tyson’s downward spiral in the 90s which started with a shocking defeat to Buster Douglas and ended with the now iconic “bite fight” against Evander Holyfield. In between it all Tyson was convicted of raping an 18-year-old beauty pageant contestant and sent to jail for nearly three years.

Boy Bands | 38
Every generation seems to have its own version of an iconic boy band but the 90s was the first-time boy bands essentially took over pop music.
On this episode of History of the 90s were looking back at the magical era of 90s boy bands as we dive deep into two of the biggest boy bands of all time.
Both the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC had to pay their dues in Europe before breaking through in the United States. But when they finally broke through, there was no stopping their rise to the top, and along the way they changed the way we view male performers and masculinity.
We’ll also take a look at Lou Pearlman, the man who created both groups and eventually conned them out of millions of dollars.
