Wrestling Unwrapped

Holy crap, Goldberg returns to the ring in 2 weeks. That's insane. Well, we at WU thought maybe we didn't give him a fair shake when we covered his WWE run, so we've decided to take a look back at his run as the undefeated machine he was in WCW... by picking one of the worst PPVs we could think of... with WCW Halloween Havoc 1998.A huge double main event greets us in Las Vegas,as Goldberg defends his 154-0 winning streak and his WCW World Heavyweight Championship against the People's Champion, Diamond Dallas Page, in a match many consider one of the best in the Shows entire history, even though you had to see it the next night.But, not only do we have that, we have the rematch 8.5 years in the making, as Hollywood Hulk Hogan takes on The Warrior in a rematch of their classic from Wrestlemania VI. How will they perform after 8 years apart? One can only imagine the classic they'll put on here.But, don't forget about the other big matches, like the members of The Outsiders squaring off as Scott Hall takes on Kev

It was the best of the times. It was the wild west of times. It was a pay per view for the ages with an ending that most who saw it won't soon forget. And for one of your intrepid cohosts, it happened right in front of his eyes.It is Money in the Bank 2011. A pay per view so crazy that the man going into the main event for the WWE title didn't have a contract with the company once the clock struck midnight. John Cena defends the honor of the WWE and fights for his job (because that makes sense) when he battles CM Punk in Chicago, IL.Join Patrick Ketza, Harry Broadhurst and producer Sean Garmer as the W2M Network presents Wrestling Unwrapped Episode 19: WWE Money in the Bank 2011.

WCW would go on to call many of their shows controversial. They would discuss their pay-per-views as landmark events. Never was this more appropriate than for an event held on July 7, 1996 inside the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida. Join Harry Broadhurst, special guest Jared Hawkins, and producer Sean Garmer as they do a WCW Bash at the Beach 1996 Review. The whole night revolves around finding out the identity of the mysterious “third man.” There’s a United States Championship match between Konnan and Ric Flair, a fantastic match between Rey Mysterio Jr. and Psicosis to open the show, also the six man tag team match that changed wrestling forever between “The Outsiders” Scott Hall and Kevin Nash and “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Lex Luger, and Sting.

So... what happens when you have a show where two of your top stars are injured, and you happen to fire your main booker 48 hours before the show... oh, and several of your other stars happen to be talking to your opponent? WCW answers that question tonight with WCW Souled Out 2000.A completely changed card from the originally booked one greets us tonight, as Chris Benoit takes on Sid Vicious for the vacant WCW World Heavyweight Championship, while Billy Kidman take on three (?) members of The Revolution in the Triple Threat Theater series of matches.

As WU moves past their almost 2 month long salute to Wrestlemania, we now switch gears to appreciate more of the smaller, independent companies that are now changing the face of the WWE, TNA, and the other major promotions world wide.

It feels like after so many weeks talking about a single event, we here at WU would be tired of constantly talking about the "Showcase of the Immortals", but after all of this, there's still something special about the event, itself. So, we have decided to close this year's chapter of Wrestlemania by covering it's full length DVD set, the True Story of Wrestlemania.A full 2 hour documentary kicks thing off covering the first 26 years of Wrestlemania, and tells a story about each and every year, from technical difficulties (Wrestlemania 2), to drastic moves (Wrestlemania 7), to changings of the guard (Wrestlemania 14), with special focuses on certain key performers on the biggest stage. This is an unforgettable set.Along with the documentary, we have a collections of 11 matches from the history of Wrestlemania, some of which are the most famous matches in WWE history. We'll talk a bit about each of them, some of which we have covered before.And, of course, the Big Finish, where we talk about the best and wor

Sometimes, being at a show can give you a whole new perspective of a show.
