The Road to Survivor Series 1995!

Wrestling With The Truth

02/22/23 • 42 min

We're talking the November 6th and 13th episodes of Raw and Nitro! On the WCW side we deal with the fallout of Halloween Havoc and start the build for World War 3. On the WWF side it is lackluster effort getting the fans hyped for Survivor Series.
But there are a few bright spots along the way:

The Renegade gets reduced to just plain old Rick
The Giant as World Champ for 2 minutes
Hogan's descent into the darkness leads to a role as Phantom of the Opera
The Dark Side of Venice Beach ain't no place for the weak of heart
Henry Godwinn gets a taste of his own slop...twice
Ahmed Johnson's first interview
The 1-2-3 Kid finally turns heel
Sid and Razor put on a 5 star classic

All that plus so much more!

The War is Back On!

Wrestling With The Truth

04/20/23 • 48 min

Wrestling With The War is back, it's December 1995, WWF are on the road to In Your House 5 and WCW is preparing for Starrcade '95! In this episode BC will be discussing the December 4th and 11th episodes of Monday Night Raw and Monday Nitro. It's a lackluster build to IYH 5, but WCW is hitting on all cylinders with lots of storylines colliding and dissention amongst the ranks of the good guys like Hogan, Sting and Savage. We've got pimped out caskets, Weasel Wafers, Phoenix Suns, awkward high fives, Seinfeld references and much more!

Ep 76 - WCW's Most Memorable Moments!

Wrestling With The Truth

09/22/22 • 77 min

It's hard to believe it has been over 20 years since Vince McMahon purchased WCW, the only competitor to ever knock him out of top spot on the wrestling food chain, and the final edition of Monday Nitro aired! Today's generation of wrestling fans may not even know the influence WCW had over the wrestling landscape, so we decided it was time to take a look back at this once great organization that rose to prominence quickly and crashed and burned even faster.
In this episode we discuss:

The history of World Championship Wrestling
The Jim Herd Era vs The Eric Bischoff Era
The Highlights and Lowlights of WCW
Why 1995 might have been the worst year in wrestling history
The legacy of WCW

We would love to hear listener thoughts on this topic so be sure to reach out to us on Twitter, Facebook or YouTube!

And make sure you head on over to Twitch and YouTube and give Bama Dave's Bammer Chatter Podcast a well deserved follow:

Curated by John Hoppe

Podcast Q&A

Why did you start this show?

July 2021!

What do you hope listeners gain from listening to your show?

First, I hope they have a lot of fun and get a few laughs during each episode! But I also hope that people get motivated to watch old school wrestling by my passion for wrestling. I am not just trying to give my opinion, I'm trying to help educate people on why wrestling is an art form. I'm hoping my analysis of wrestling will help people understand the true psychology of what they see on their TV.

Which episode should someone start with?

Since we have switched from covering the modern product to a focusing on the Monday Night War between WCW and WWF I would suggest starting with Episode 90 - A New Year, A New Direction https://goodpods.app.link/mYk2Jx3Nezb But please, don't let that stop you from visiting all our older episodes as well!

Which have been your favourite episodes so far?

Honestly it's hard to pick a favourite episode because that's like picking your favourite child right?! But if I'm forced to say one I would have to say Episode 17 - Worst Entrance Themes of All time! is one I still go back to and find myself chuckli9ng each time I hear it! https://goodpods.app.link/nYJ4w2eOezb

Which episode are you most proud of?

I'm truly proud of them all! Putting yourself out there to the listening universe is a lot harder than people think so every time a new episode goes out I'm proud of what I have accomplished.

What is your vision for your show?

I want to entertain people every episode and help them spark that love of wrestling that I have enjoyed since I was six years old! Along the way I hope to make many new friends that are just as passionate about the product as I am. If I could make a full time living out of it that would be a dream come true!

What is your favourite other podcast that isn't yours?

I have many favourite podcasts I love to listen to every week. Too many to list but here is some required listening: The Hell Truth by Ted the Hillbilly Heel Greetings From Allentown The Jim Cornette Experience and Jim Cornette's Drive Thru Grappling With Canada with Andy the Taxman Bruins FastCast Today We Laughed...and Learned!!! with Kris and Deb CRROW777 Radio K100 with Konnan & Disco Inferno Smacked Raw Podcast Botched Spots and Chairshots Jaded Wrasslin' Arse'n Around by Darkside Express

How did you come up with the name for your podcast?

I had always been thinking of a few names and my wife asked what I wanted it to be about and I said "no B.S., just our opinions and the truth about the product we are watching" and she said why don't you incorporate truth into the name. Wrestling With The Truth means you are trying to deal with the difficult truth and that's what we were doing knowing we could get some heat for it. Now that we have switched to the Monday Night War it seemed logical to tweak the name to Wrestling With The War.

Tell us a bit about yourself

I have been a wrestling fan since the early '80s! My grandmother got me into wrestling as a child and I have always loved the storylines and the larger than life characters. I was hooked immediately and have been studying the history, characters and psychology of professional wrestling ever since. I'm hopeful that passion shines through each and every episode!
