Weekly breakdown of this weeks AEW Dynamite episode, plus hot takes on everything going on in the pro-wrestling industry!

    SHOT OF NOSTALGIA #1.20: WCW 1996 | AUG 26th & SEP 2nd WCW NITRO | DIBIASE & GIANT JOIN NWO!

    SHOT OF NOSTALGIA #1.20: WCW 1996 | AUG 26th & SEP 2nd WCW NITRO | DIBIASE & GIANT JOIN NWO!

    In episode 20 ACEFIELD RETRO is SOLO DOLO to discuss the AUG 26th & SEP 2nd MONDAY NITRO. Back to our typical double dose of a throwback, retro action. A wall-to-wall action-packed episode on deck for you. THE GIANT turns on DUNGEON OF DOOM to be the 4th member of the NEW WORLD ORDER. Was this the right move for WCW and the emerging young cornerstone of WCW? The build for FALL BRAWL is off to a hot start with the WAR GAMES match being hyped. The FOUR HORSEMEN dominate these shows and are asserting their dominance or at least trying to be the equivalent to the nWo. Waltman has become a pawn between the two sides jockeying for leverage in lawsuit-fueled drama and has yet to debut for WCW. Don't forget we get some great CRUISERWEIGHT action inside the WCW ring. As a bonus, Ace & Belcaster will be together in person this weekend for ALL OUT and some great wrestling action. As usual, we dive deep into Big 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. What was the rating like? As always, this episode is sure to be an amazing time but we are missing Big Homie Belcaster Don't forget to grab your weekly Shot of Nostalgia at 7 PM Eastern (our new time) & stay tuned for BEFORE OUR TIME directly following us to cap A FLASHBACK FRIDAY ON THE TAVERN.

Really great Pod!

Been listening since they had DVR’ing NXT! From the Flagship to the newest Brace for Impact, they’ve had a plethora of fun and informative shows. The Debate is one of their best additions that has brought many diverse perspectives to the Tavern over the years; many of which have become full-time members and hosts of all the great shows they continue to come up with.
Whether you’re new to wrestling or a lifelong fan, these are the Podcasts for you.

Also, the new format on the Flagship is great, feels natural to start with the story you’re most excited about and move through the all the AEW shows that way instead of going in chronological order. And thanks for the Shout Out!

The Most Well Rounded Pro Wrestling Podcast!

I’ve been listening to the Turnbuckle Tavern for over 2 years and I can honestly say it’s my FAVORITE family of pro wrestling podcasts. They are a true switch up to the norm that is wrestling podcasting. They offer a variety of shows from debates, reviews about shows, news inside and outside of the ring, figure news, and deep dives into nostalgic times in wrestling.

Not only do they deliver amazing pro wrestling content 7 DAYS A WEEK, they also are great human beings. I can honestly say that I’ve never met the majority of the Tavern faithful in person, but I’ve felt like I’ve known them my whole lives. Chad, Snead, Tom, Mike, Ace, J Bone, Young Anthony, Colton, Marco, and even Hoch are all great people who are dedicated to their craft. Also, shout out to my fellow Tavern Townie and yeehaw mark, TYSON!!

Give them a listen if you love professional wrestling!!
