First, from the famed collection of Pete Schirmacher, the boys review 2 and 7/8 matches from the Labor Day Star Wars show broadcast on Ft. Worth TV, including an awesome Country Whipping match between Kerry Von Erich and Michael Hayes. Then, better late than never, they pay tribute to all-time legend, Harley Race.

September 18, 20196 yr Author comment_5899267 World Cast of the Champions V: WWE Extreme Rules 2013 (Seriously) https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-of-the-champions-v-wwe-extreme-rules-2013-seriously May 19, 2013 During the recent PWO pledge drive one man stepped up and donated, by far, more $ than anyone else. To show their appreciation to that man, one Shawn Emily, the boys agreed to review a show of his choosing. Shawn chose a show close to his heart, one he attended live in St. Louis. So the boys hop into the Delorean and set the date for 2013. Get ready, folks. Get ready to go EXTREME! Get ready for WWE Extreme Rules 2013!!!!!
September 25, 20196 yr Author comment_5899723 Episode 76 https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-76 October 1, 1983 The boys have reviewed a lot of fun, sometimes even great, shows over the last two years.

But who can resist the AWA's SuperClash IV from 1990? They can't, but oh man, they probably should have... Feast your eyes on... -The sad, depressing, and also quite funny, slow death of a once great promotion -A not-quite supercard level supercard -Gimmicks and wrestlers who would've been (and some who were) better suited for the 1970s -No JYD? No problem, here's The Clawmaster motherfuckers! -A bad Tully Blanchard match? Yep -A young Yokozuna as KOKINA MAXIMUS! -Larry Z vs Mr. Torture in an almost good match -Cage warfare, in which the star of the match is a retired football player, and not one of the good ones -And to top it off, 15 minutes of promos and outtakes, of varying quality -Can't wait for SuperClash V!

February 11, 20205 yr comment_5910590 1 hour ago, TheDuke said: Any updates on either Worldcast or Worldcast of the Champions? We're still taking a break. However, I am available for any and all podcast guest spots. Not just wrestling, anything. It could be a knitting podcast, I'll figure it out. What I'm saying is, I'm horny for the mic. Need a guest, podcasters? Yer looking at him. I'm starved for attention. I will be on The Military Industrial Suplex in March , which will be dope as fuck.

(and the original song was also unfortunate in hindsight) -The Missing Link makes a memorable splash in his debut -Ernie Ladd is here, and Johnny does an impression of him for the ages (and throws in Kevin and David Manning as a bonus!) -Plus a red hot main event between Adams/Mantell and Gordy/Garvin
April 21, 20205 yr Author comment_5915309 Episode 86 https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/world-cast-86-christmas-star-wars-1983 December 25, 1983* Red hot WCCW draws its third monster house of 1983 at Reunion Arena for Christmas Star Wars, and the boys provide a monster-sized ep to break it all down!
