Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops Podcast Ep 22 Review of WCW Halloween Havoc 1998

Welcome to Episode 22 of our wrestling podcast Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops!! We are Chris Dread and Jordan (JB) In Episode 22, as this is our Halloween special, we review WCW Halloween Havoc 1998. This event has quite a stacked card at first glance and has at least 3 matches that SHOULD have been, on paper, incredible matches. These matches are Brother Vs Brother with Steiner Vs Steiner, self described MORE than brother vs brother with The Outsiders, Hall and Nash, facing off, and finally the rematch of the century with Hollywood Hulk Hogan Vs The Warrior. Lets just say that they don't really match expectations. There are a few filler matches but also, some really good matches. A great match between Bret Hart and Sting, an opener between Raven and Chris Jericho and a great main event between Diamond Dallas Page and Goldberg. Add into the mix a double dose of Disco Inferno, The Nitro Girls and a massive inflatable gargoyle and pumpkin, and you have a rollercoaster of a PPV that is well worth a watch.  We hope you enjoy this episode and please, remember to hit those Like & Subscribe buttons!!!!

Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops Podcast Ep 21 Review of TNA Lockdown 2009

Welcome to Episode 21 of our wrestling podcast Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops!! We are Chris Dread and Jordan (JB) In Episode 21 we review our first ever TNA wrestling PPV. As many countries go into total lockdown, we have chosen the TNA annual event Lockdown from 2009. The Lockdown PPV features a card where every match takes place inside the TNA steel cage called The Six Sides of Steel. TNA at this time had a healthy mix of young up and coming and homegrown talent, as well as some very well established veterans. They had the Main Event Mafia stable which was comprised of Legends and Veterans such as Kurt Angle, Scott Steiner, Booker T, Kevin Nash, and the current TNA Heavyweight Champion and Icon Sting! On the opposing side of TNA there was the TNA Originals stable made up of the young guys who had basically started TNA and made it what it was today, Headed by TNA Founder Jeff Jarrett they had AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, and Samoa Joe. The Lethal Lockdown match with weapons would see the 2 stables go head to head and they had us thinking is Jeff Jarrett the veteran going to turn his back on the originals and join the mafia? The Main event would see champion Sting face off against the hardcore legend that is Mick Foley, and on the way to that match we have a TNA knockout 4 way, a Dr Stevie Richards cameo, a great tag championship match and an opening X division match with a load of characters that are basically rip offs! what more could you want?

Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops Podcast Ep 20 Review of WWF Wrestlemania 8 1992

Welcome to Episode 20 of our wrestling podcast Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops!! We are Chris Dread and Jordan (JB) In Episode 20 we review The first ever Wrestlemania to feature the legend Ric Flair. WWF Wrestlemania 8 from 1992. Ric Flair at this point was absolutely on fire. He was white hot in the WWF and it came at a point when the man who WAS the face of the company, Hulk Hogan, was looking to leave the wrestling business for a while to work on movies and other things. This Wrestlemania had lots of amazing promos, some very good matches and also the commentary team of Bobby Heenan and Gorilla were on top form all night. This Wrestlemania had it all. It had an amazing and bloody Intercontinental Match between Piper and Bret Hart, A high energy title match between Flair and Randy savage, the birth of the Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels, and a classic promo from the LOD.

Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops Podcast Ep 19 Review of WCW NWO Souled Out 1997

Welcome to Episode 19 of our wrestling podcast Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops!! We are Chris Dread and Jordan (JB) In Episode 19 we review possibly one of the worst produced events WCW has ever put on. WCW NWO Souled Out from 1997. This event is pretty much a car crash from start to finish. But, because of that, it makes it almost compelling viewing. The whole event was supposed to be a showcase of how much in control of WCW the NWO were. They were the commentators, cheating referee, and abusive announcer. They also held every belt that was available and they were on the line tonight. They also were attempting to crown Miss NWO. They held a live beauty contest between matches like a Miss World but, well, lets just say they didn't quite come up to great standards with the contestants or the production. Although this show is widely spoken about as possibly one of the worst events WCW ever produced, we enjoyed reviewing it and we strongly suggest that people watch the event themselves as it is so bad it was actually quite good.

Welcome to Episode 18 of our wrestling podcast Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops!! We are Chris Dread and Jordan (JB) In Episode 18 we review arguably one of the greatest Wrestlemania events EVER! WWE Wrestlemania 19 from 2003. Packed with great matches, this nearly 4 hour event flies by as it is so good. This event has what you can only describe as 'Dream matches' all the way through. An absolute show stealer of a match between Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho, a great title match main event between 2 wrestling greats in Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle, the grudge match of the century between the 2 men who created Wrestlemania itself In Mr McMahon vs Hulk Hogan, and what would be a retirement match and the final match of a 3 match series between the 2 men who took wrestling and the WWF / WWE to new heights....Stone Cold Steve Austin vs The Rock.

Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops Podcast Ep 17 Review of ECW Cyberslam 1996

Welcome to Episode 17 of our wrestling podcast Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops!! We are Chris Dread and Jordan (JB) In Episode 17 we review ECW Cyberslam from 1996. This is PART 2 of our 2 part BRIAN PILLMAN SERIES. After being fired from WCW for his antics during the PPV Superbrawl 6 (covered in our last episode number 16) Brian Pillman shows up just 6 days later in the Philadelphia Bingo Hall, home of Extreme Championship Wrestling, ECW. His loose cannon character would continue to raise hell here, and the fans LOVED IT......at first. Brian Pillman wasn't the only crazy thing going on at this event though, its was a classic early ECW PPV full of madness and brutal X-Rated action. It had a gruelling TV title match between the madman SABU and 2 Cold Scorpio, a crazy inter-gender dog collar match, Cactus Jack, and the crazy but brilliant Italian Stallion J T Smith, and all of this on top of The Loose Cannon Brian Pillman threatening to whip his privates out while simultaneously screaming at the 'smart marks'. This PPV is a classic and a must watch for any wrestling fan.

Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops Podcast Ep 16 Review of WCW Superbrawl 6 1996

Welcome to Episode 16 of our wrestling podcast Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops!! We are Chris Dread and Jordan (JB) In Episode 16 we review WCW Superbrawl 6 from 1996. This is PART 1 of our 2 part BRIAN PILLMAN SERIES. Drama and controversy surrounding Pillman and his Loose Cannon Character at this time was HUGE. This was a time when WCW had signed the superstar Hulk Hogan and it seemed everything that was going on in their shows and TV revolved around him and the Dungeon of Doom stable Headed by Booker Kevin Sullivan.....this wasn't necessarily a good thing. This show isn't the greatest show but it does have its high points, which mainly involve Ric Flair and Woman (Nancy Sullivan and later Nancy Benoit) The Flair Vs Savage Title match SHOULD have been the main event but, as usual, The Hogan effect twinned with Kevin Sullivan meant that it was pushed down the card....but judge for yourself by watching the PPV and see what YOU think. Episode 17 will be PART 2 of This BRIAN PILLMAN SERIES and will be a review of the ECW PPV CyberSlam 1996 featuring the man himself.
