In episode 18 ACEFIELD RETRO returns with MIKE BELCASTER to discuss the AUG 5th MONDAY NITRO & WCW HOG WILD live from STURGIS MOTORCYCLE RALLY. HULK HOGAN gets his shot at the WCW CHAMPIONSHIP. What type of WEATHER did HOG WILD have to overcome? Will we see the emergence of that 4th man that has been being teased throughout the last few weeks? What was the reception in holding a PPV at the Sturgis rally? Would WCW be willing to do it again? Don't forget we get ULTIMO DRAGON v. REY MYSTERIO, DEAN MALENKO v. CHRIS BENOIT & of course, RIC FLAIR vs EDDIE GUERRERO for the US TITLE. Which match will steal the show from SOUTH DAKOTA? Would the crowd on MOTORCYCLES even care?! As usual, we dive deep into Uncle Dave's newsletter as it happened in real-time to bring in CONTEXT and help us travel completely back to 1996 to get an idea of what this event meant to WCW's drive to overtake WWF in the MONDAY NIGHT WARS. The NEW WORLD ORDER leading the charge is the hottest storyline in wrestling and this felt like a crowning moment for them with HOGAN taking the title off of GIANT. As always, this episode is sure to be a fantastic time with the main homie Belly to Belcaster. OH, and by the way, there are a decent amount of DQ and non-finishes. Bring your drinking shoes.
