To say the fall of October 1993 was a tough time for the WWF is an understatement. Vince McMahon and Titan Sports are going to be facing serious charges from the the Federal Government where they would face millions in fines and perhaps lose Titan Towers (and everything in it!). Hulk Hogan is gone so they get Randy Savage back in the ring but before they do, Savage goes on JR’s radio show and calls out Hulk Hogan for lying on the Arsenio Hall Show. Vince has decided to shift gears to a different type of main event attraction to feature Bret Hart and his feud with Jerry Lawler is the hottest in the company…
And then Lawler got arrested. Despite business being down, they sold out the Boston Gardens in record time. How? Bruce explains a new strategy that worked to move tickets and how they had to pivot away from Lawler in the main event. Why was Shawn chosen? Who were the Knights supposed to be? How were the other Hart brothers to work with? What was the original plan before it was Bret-Owen? Plus we discuss sidebars about Ludvig Borga, Ray Combs, and of course the creation of Reo Rodgers. Don’t miss the show Bruce has wanted to cover since we started the podcast, Survivor Series 1993!

Needs more blue dot
NO MONEY DOWN?!?!?!??!
Nothing better leaving work on a Friday than seeing a new STW episode, Bruce & Conrad you both are highly appreciated
This episode seemed unusual, Conrad usually does lots of research but they didn't seem to know alot. Christians finisher was ALWAYS called the unprettier, until he came back in 09 and changed it to the Killswitch. And that trophy that he carried was Edge's King of the Ring trophy that year, and Christian acted like he won it.

Couldn't do this show without a kazoo!!!
I don’t hear any crowds chanting “The New WWF Generation!” or “Ruthless Aggression!”. I’m just saying…well you know…
Dixie carter picked Christian over undertaker? Fucking stupid 🤦🏻♂️
Personally, I thought the TLC match at Summer Slam 2000 was better. For me, TLC 2 was ruined by all of the run ins done by each team's 3rd ally. The first TLC match had one run in and it worked because it went right back to being about the 3 teams again as opposed to the 3 teams and their allies interfering. I also like TLC 4 on Monday Night Raw better than TLC 2.
Will Bruce take some blue pills and a flesh-light on his trip to Australia??
WOW one on Christian. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Edge's "weed carrier" and Edge's "cover for me slapping around my first wife" buddy does not fill over 3 hrs of a podcast..
