January 1st, 1996 WWF decided to compete with the College Football Championships! It’s the first and last WWF RAW Bowl! The show is football themed with commentary making a million stupid references. The ring looks like a football field, the ref is dressed like a line judge, and a collegiate band in the crowd. The first match is a multiple man tag team match with unique rules. The winner of this will get the “Lombardi Trophy!” Also, a replay of the Arkansas Hog Pen match between Triple H and Henry O Godwin! The main event featured a very short match between Diesel and King Mabel! Plus, the show ends with the first ever “Wrestling War Room” skit poking fun at WCW, The Hukster, and the Nacho Man!

Super Tuesday Raw Bowl! Not ready to relive those fucking puns as they have lived rent free in the deepest darkest depths of my mind for the last 5 days.

Terence Wiggins

James got a haircut and beard trim and that motherfucker looking sharp as hell

Robbo not Robo

You boys should check out Adam Chaplin. It's a big homage to 90s japanese gory action movies like Riki-Oh. I think y'all might fw it

Zarux

The boys are back in this motherfucker!!!!!!

Wolfgang Xander

Thanks for answering my question! Keep loving you all :)

Rocko Bamonti

John Nickell

Se7eNdotJPEG

Football all I right fellas??

Veeeeeeeera

Raw Bowl is awesome and everyone else can suck it this owned

Ian Brandon Anderson

What happened with yall in Pasadena that we might not get another show here? I thought the turnout was great and the crowd was on fire.

DEADLOCK

This was recorded before the event took place.

You say Vince beating WCW was an act of God but you cannot convince me that Vince McMahon is not die-reck-edly in commune with Satan

Joseph Reynolds

Hearing James say “kiss of life natty” woke me the f up

Sonny Wright

Raws like this made me glad I only watched Saturday Night and Nitro at this point in my life.

Nick C.

So many questions about the sand shake

Jared Clemons

james was definitely thinking about mayonaka punch i'd assume

Taylor

I asked about the Dorton Arena show because I saw my 1st wrestling show there in 2016 and my dad would go there to see NWA and WCW house shows In the 80s and 90s. The big matches for the show i went to were Rock and Roll Express vs The Barbarian and The Warlord in a Steel Cage and the main was Matt Hardy vs EC3 for the TNA and OMEGA World Championships.

TrshBandicoot

damn give me 2001 WCW, 96 RAW is stinkyyyy

the big amish nick kurtz

when i listen to the patreon name segment i like to think its like a roll call of all of my friends and then we all sit quietly and listen to the rest of the podcast together

I feel so deflated (no offense to TB12) watching 20 minutes of nothing but football references and such. So much wasted potential, but the ring looked cool with the green grass color, like an early create a ring style right there.

Cyco Vision

Also mentioning the curtain call before trips almost winning KOTR, was a massive butterfly effect in wrestling. Had trips not participated in it, Steve Austin would've never won it and do the Austin 3:16 promo. This just also saved wwf into '97 with that

Nathan Pierce

I laughed so hard at “the stadium pulse is going crazy right now I GOT HOOOOEESS”

The MK Zer-Yooooooooooooooooooo

Podcast Prediction: It's a shitty 96 gimmick Raw, so this is gonna be a hilarious all-timer certified hood classic pod. Results: I was very correct! Awesome job boys!

Artist formerly known as Gold Dustin

No joke that Bret hart bulldog match from in your house is actually really sweet 😂Bret hart bleeds like a mother fucker in that and you guys should actually watch it

FalconX9K

I love how Tony's Bryan Alvarez/TNA Sucks bit has evolved to the point of just saying it every time they read the wrestling newsletters no matter who's writing them or what time period they're from

bonerific

OH MY? COULD IT BE? IT'S WWF'S GOLDUST! HE'S HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hank Kronenberg

Good fucking lord, Raw going up against SIX college bowl games (including the Rose Bowl AND the Orange Bowl as well), plus we're in the middle of the shitty portion of the New Generation era? Oh god almighty...

Cyco Vision

Backstory: The billionaire ted skits was crazy and funny, vince even went as far as to put an ad on the wall street journal and the NY Times about Turner's stock losing money to funnel against wwf because of the Monday Night War. Ted Turner loved it but on the other hand USA Network hated it and wanted it off the air because it crossed the line too much with ted's real life "shady tactics" in business which got vince sued in 1998. But it did get us a final match with "Huckster" vs "Nacho Man" at WM 12 pre-show complete with MST3K parody with vince and king talking silhouettes, watch that one it's funny.
