REMEMBER WHEN WCW TURNED AN ARM WRESTLING CONTEST INTO ABSOLUTE CHAOS? During the final year of WCW, they were throwing everything at the wall—including an arm wrestling contest on Thunder between Miss Hancock and Major Gunns. What was supposed to be a simple display of strength instantly devolved into...

Why didn't Major Gunns go to WWE?

Beyond Nitro: Q. Who Ran Over Stone Cold? A. Mongo??? In the fall of 2000, ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin returned to the WWF, looking to find out who had ‘run him over’ at the previous year’s Survivor Series (an angle necessary to provide a kayfabe explanation for a lengthy absence related to injury). Due to Austin’s romantic involvement with Debra McMichael – the former wife of Steve ‘Mongo’ McMichael, last seen on WCW television with the Four Horsemen – Vince Russo and his team had a brainwave. “We reached out to [McMichael] when WWE did the ‘who ran over Steve Austin’ storyline,” wrote Bill Banks, one of Russo’s lieutenants, in a social media pronouncement. “We wanted to bring Mongo back as a surprise to WCW and have him claim that he was the one that ran over Austin…because Austin stole Debra. “[Our] plan was to have an announcement the week before,” continued Banks, “that the person who ran over Austin had contacted WCW – and wanted to reveal himself on Nitro. The next week, the same car that hit Austin would pull up to the back of the arena. The window would open slightly to reveal someone holding a photo of Debra. After commercial, [the] car would drive into the arena…[and] out comes Mongo to cut a promo explaining the story as revenge – against Austin – for stealing Debra. If Austin wanted to do anything, Mongo would be in the ring on Nitro the next week to fight [him]. “[In other words], we were going to attempt to finish [their] storyline on WCW.” Listen to Beyond Nitro on Audible and Apple Books for more: USA: UK: Canada: Australia: Deep Cuts - Wrestling Stories in 60 Seconds!

On the latest episode of Dark Side of the Ring basically confirmed what a lot of people have been saying for years! Eric Bischoff helped drive TNA straight into a financial death spiral. They walked into a company they didn’t understand, threw away everything that made TNA different, and turned it into “Diet WCW.” Instead of building the young stars and the X-Division that fans actually cared about, they filled the roster and creative meetings with their buddies, recycled the same names, and chased nostalgia that was already 10 years past its expiration date. Then Bischoff’s response is somehow even worse. His defense is essentially, “Well, it worked in the ’90s.” Yeah… because it was the ’90s. Those ideas were fresh THEN. Running the exact same NWO style formulas, the same authority figure tropes, and the same recycled booking years later wasn’t innovative…it was lazy. Fans had already seen the movie. You can’t keep rereleasing the same script and act surprised when nobody buys a ticket. This is exactly why I can’t take Eric Bischoff’s wrestling opinions seriously in 2026. Every time he critiques modern wrestling, he speaks like someone whose last major creative success happened nearly 30 years ago. Since then? WCW died, his WWE run flopped, and his TNA experiment is now literally being dissected on Dark Side of the Ring as an example of what not to do. At some point, nostalgia has to stop being confused with credibility.

Beyond Nitro: 4 Life By 1998, the nWo had spread like wildfire across the middle and high schools of America. Suddenly, nWo shirts littered school cafeterias everywhere from San Jose to Bangor, Maine. Classmates eagerly threw up the ‘Wolfpac’ hand gesture upon passing each other in the hallway. Students with a more theatrical flair enjoyed playing the role of The Bad Guy: Listen, don’t ask me how I’m doin’ – it’s ‘Hey, Yo’, chico… Once the group splintered into two rival factions – nWo Hollywood (or nWo ‘Black and White’), led by the still-villainous Hogan – versus the babyface nWo Wolfpac (or nWo ‘Red and Black’), pupils from state to state divided themselves accordingly. Although there would never be an appropriate ‘blow-off’ to the internal nWo feud, the potentials were imagined daily across America’s playgrounds. “[Previously], it was almost like you were made fun of, in school, if you were a WCW fan,” remembers Mike ‘Gunz’ Gunzelman (Gunz), a long-time media personality with tenures at ABC News Radio, SiriusXM and Outkick. “You cannot deny that the nWo became the coolest, most bad-ass thing. People were jumping ship, and I’m telling you – I was in that age group. All of a sudden, I was going to people’s houses for WCW pay-per-views. We were never doing that before. “The nWo single-handedly made it cool, [including with] the makeshift anarchy-type aspect to it. There’s a revisionist history where people want to change what things actually were at the time. But they’re lying to themselves if they don’t understand what the nWo was able to do...” Listen to Beyond Nitro on Audible for more: USA: UK: Canada: Australia: Logan Sekulow Chris Vannini Brandon Marcello chris channels @Bfish3422 Bo Sar Zach Takes Euronymous Bosch SMARKING DOWN!
