On this episode of What Happened When, Tony and Conrad watch the epic WWE World Championship Hell In A Cell match between Cactus Jack and Triple H! This match suggestion comes from T.J. Stephens from La Porte, Indiana. His choice is tremendous, as we take you back to Madison Square Garden in early 2000. T.J. wrote: "Hello Tony, Conrad, and the rest of the WHW Slapdick Nation. Today’s special match will be Cactus Jack v HHH for the WWF Title at Royal Rumble 2000. To me, this is the most under appreciated PPV title match of the past 25 years, and the story was terrific. So, let’s all sit back, relax, and listen to Tony shit on me, and this match. Thank you." It's going to be very difficult for Tony and Conrad to shit on this match.
But wait there's more! We're going way back to an incredible Mid-South Wrestling battle between Ted DiBiase and the Nature Boy Ric Flair! It is here where Ric Flair defends the NWA Heavyweight Championship against Ted DiBiase. However, the match was not so much the memorable part of this night as much as the angle between DiBiase and Dick Murdoch. It is a great television wrestling show, so says LKBH Mike Lednicky of West, Texas, who suggested this watch along: "Would it be too much to ask to watch the show or just the world title between Flair and Dibiase from the 11-16-85 episode of Mid-South Wrestling? I was 11 when that happened and it was and still is maybe the greatest single hour of wrestling TV I’ve seen, capped off by that title match which turned Dibiase face." It's another great choice! And Mike, we will watch the entire show.

Episode 363: The Alternative - X-citement Wrestling Federation Debut
On this episode of What Happened When, Tony and Conrad take us back to 2001 when WCW folded and the trio of Nasty Boy Brian Knobbs, Jimmy Hart and Greg Valentine tried to come up with an alternative to the WWF the XWF! Though it had many big names, it never found a home. This episode was suggest by LKBH DJ Turn Upof Stone Mountain, Georgia who wrote:
"...I'm choosing the XWF Episode 1.... I chose this because this is a time that is never talked about by Tony or anybody. I'm interested to see what Tony remembers (or doesn't remember) about his brief moment in the XWF...."
Well, this one should be interesting as well as entertaining. Thanks, DJ!

The second podcast comes from LKBH Brooke McGaugh of Shreveport, Louisiana. She is also the adopted daughter of Tony and Lois Schiavone, even though Tony did not approve of her marriage to Patrick. (Just kidding, Lois loves Patrick). Where were we? Oh, yeah...anyway...Brooke's choice was from WrestleMania 38:
"...The reason I choose this match is because it was fun and really showed the entertainment of wrestling. I remember watching this match and just having a blast from the giant hand slapping Sami Zayn to Wee Man body slamming Zayn.
Overall, one of my favorite matches I have watched over the past few years and had a lot of fun with it..."
Brooke is right. You may like this or hate it, but you cannot deny it was a lot of fun to watch.
