1 JUL 2024 · Recorded July 2021. The WWF in 1997 had some very, very good things, and some very, very bad things. Their July pay-per-view offering in Calgary, Alberta, Canada was one of the best events they produced that year. With a very dynamic and non-traditional babyface Hart Foundation in Canada vs. those American jerks of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Goldust, Ken Shamrock and the Legion of Doom, the roles would be reversed if you just crossed the border into the United States. Looking back, it may be one of the best angles in wrestling history. The Calgary Stampede is a staple event each year, so the World Wrestling Federation decided to piggyback off that and dive deep into the western Cowboy scene on this pay-per-view weekend. Nick and Vaughn discuss everything surrounding the event, where they were in life, and what they thought about each and every moment of this pay-per-view, and even the world of wrestling during this time period. -- Follow us on Twitter/X [http://twitter.com/_picconehttps://cms.megaphone.fm/organizations/c14feb42-acef-11eb-ab88-7763fd357f66/podcasts/5a58ff84-d286-11eb-a0fe-83e23c17a113/episodes/e2aee71c-33a8-11ec-b940-bf0f24337f64/twitter.com/piccone_ [http://www.twitter.com/vaughnmjohnson] [http://twitter.com/shootersradio] You can subscribe to The Straight Shooters on the following platforms: [https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/straight-shooters/id1031623200?mt=2] [https://open.spotify.com/show/7spHRlVHck94p6VMhvR1e2 [https://www.iheart.com/podcast/53-The-Straight-Shoote-28665061/] [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/615aa1be-e47a-43bf-bfeb-412066d1230b] [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.audacy.com/podcast/straight-shooters-9025a⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠] [https://tunein.com/podcasts/Sports--Recreation-Podcasts/The-Straight-Shooters-Wrestling-Podcast-p960368/] [https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-straight-shooters/PC:27434] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and wherever else you get your podcasts! http://shooterspod.com Exclusive Patreon content: [https://patreon.com/shootersradio] Facebook: [http://www.facebook.com/shootersradio] --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shootersradio/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shootersradio/support

28 JUN 2024 · The July 9, 2001 episode of Monday Night Raw was a hard reset of the ongoing WCW Invasion storyline as Paul Heyman and ECW joined the mix. Despite the show emanating from Atlanta, the crowd was HYPED for ECW's resurgence. By the end of the night, ECW and WCW would form The Alliance against the WWF. Despite missteps along the way, this felt like the true beginning of a legit Invasion storyline we could sink our teeth into. Just forget everything that already happened and that's about to happen. We dive deep into it all on this week's episode! -- Follow us on Twitter/X [http://twitter.com/_picconehttps://cms.megaphone.fm/organizations/c14feb42-acef-11eb-ab88-7763fd357f66/podcasts/5a58ff84-d286-11eb-a0fe-83e23c17a113/episodes/e2aee71c-33a8-11ec-b940-bf0f24337f64/twitter.com/piccone_ [http://www.twitter.com/vaughnmjohnson] [http://twitter.com/shootersradio] You can subscribe to The Straight Shooters on the following platforms: [https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/straight-shooters/id1031623200?mt=2] [https://open.spotify.com/show/7spHRlVHck94p6VMhvR1e2 [https://www.iheart.com/podcast/53-The-Straight-Shoote-28665061/] [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/615aa1be-e47a-43bf-bfeb-412066d1230b] [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.audacy.com/podcast/straight-shooters-9025a⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠] [https://tunein.com/podcasts/Sports--Recreation-Podcasts/The-Straight-Shooters-Wrestling-Podcast-p960368/] [https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-straight-shooters/PC:27434] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and wherever else you get your podcasts! http://shooterspod.com Exclusive Patreon content: [https://patreon.com/shootersradio] Facebook: [http://www.facebook.com/shootersradio] --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shootersradio/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shootersradio/support

27 JUN 2024 · Recorded June 2023. 26 years ago, we saw one of the most memorable moments in wrestling history. The Undertaker threw Mankind off the top of the Hell in a Cell and created one of the most significant moments not only in the Monday Night War era, but in the history of wrestling, period. Oh, yeah, there was also a King of the Ring tournament that night and Stone Cold Steve Austin lost the WWF Championship.

15 JUN 2024 · After WWF purchased WCW in 2001, it was all downhill from there, we just didn't know it yet. King of the Ring took place in June 2001 and it was the last "WWF-only" PPV until December's Vengeance PPV later that year. Shane McMahon - the "owner" of WCW - took Kurt Angle to the limit (!), Booker T made his WWF debut and injured Stone Cold Steve Austin - hell, there were a ton of injuries on this show - an anticlimactic main event, Vince McMahon nowhere to be found, no celebration for the winner of the King of the Ring until the next night, and much more.
