Something to Wrestle

Episode 72: New Age Outlaws


“Oh, you didn’t know?!” Bruce and Conrad proudly bring to you three hours about one of the greatest tag teams in the woooooorld, “the Badass” Billy Gunn and “the Roaddog” Jesse James — the New Age Outlaws! How could the Roadie and Rockabilly ever possibly compete for screen time with Stone Cold, the Rock, Triple H, the Undertaker, Mankind, and a locker room filled with Hall of Famers? Bruce explains how an unlikely pairing became bonafide superstars during the biggest boom in wrestling history! How did James get back in “good graces” with Vince after walking out with Jarrett? Rockabilly with Honky, who booked this ish?! Who saw something in this pairing? Where did the intro come from?



Did the Road Warriors have an issue with putting over this new pairing? Plus you’ll get more details about the Dumpster Match at Mania 14, the first major RAW after Mania, DX invading Nitro, the DX break-ups and reunions, addiction issues, some resentment in the locker room over Roaddog’s push, Austin refusing to work a match with Gunn, the Rock sealing Gunn’s fate as a singles star, Mr. Ass, Chyna, Billy G, K-Kwik, and somehow we wind up learning about what Vince McMahon watches on television. PLUS a major announcement closes the show: a WORLD CHAMPION joins us in Houston for our live show in two weeks.
