It’s a great way to get filled in on feuds, events, offer tips, answer your questions and a lot more so give it a listen and let us know your thoughts.

If there is a wrestling video game, Alex owns a copy, and this series takes a look at all of them. It’s a fascinating trip down memory lane while watching the evolution of the games with great anecdotes that explain why we got the games we did.

One of the best things about these shows is listen to Alex encyclopedic level of knowledge about the pro wrestling industry especially when it comes to the stories behind the stories we watched. The betrayals, jealousy, backstage feuds and other ways that real-life heat resulted in what we watched each week.

In the style of Marvel’s What If … we take a look at a pivotal time in wrestling history, 1990 and ask what if a wealthy billionaire bought the AWA and gave it the type of roster that not only would have saved it, but make it the industry leader? Follow along as each episode reveals new signings, feuds and the how these moves could have saved the AWA.

In the style of Marvel’s What If … we reveal what could have happened if the NWA territories had banded together to beat Vince McMahon’s WWF to the punch of becoming the global phenomenon? Alex offers deep insight into what happened at the time, take time to focus on the stars of the era and offers new surprises with each episode of what could have been.

Massive Love jumps from the apron landing on all 10 men. As all start to rise Cerberus wraps a chain around his hand and knocks Massive Love unconscious with blood pouring out of his mask. Fenris catches Gil T. Azelle in a demon drop taking him out giving Holy Family a 5-4 advantage. Love Burger heads to the top rope again and gets caught by Crusher Vicious and his top rope spine buster. Giving Holy Family a 5-3 advantage. Almost immediately Chubby Love hits the Gasm Bomb on Fenris bouncing Fenris' head off of the top turn buckle. Perry Legal charges Crusher Vicious and Cerebrus hitting a double clothesline sending all 3 men over the top rope and crashing through the time keepers table. Leaving Lee T Gation & Chubby Love facing off against Thrash & Wolf. All 4 men are battered, bloody and tired. Chubby Love and Wolf begin brawling their way out of the ring up to the top of the ramp going punch for punch looking like two heavyweights at the end of a championship fight. At the far right off the entry way Chubby Love takes a swing and misses. Wolf hits the Wolf breaker and picks Chubby Love up for the finishing power slam. Chubby pokes him in the eye and they both fall 20ft to the floor below! Lee T Gation and Thrash are brawling back and forth in the ring. The unconscious bodies of the 8 other wrestlers are literally strewn all over ringside. Thrash seems to be getting stronger. Gation hits a Rainmaker. Thrash sits up! Gation hits another one. A referee begins s 10 count. Thrash begins to stir again and Lee T Gation wastes no time and hits two more Rainmakers back to back! Thrash is down for the count. Lee T Gation the Litigators and their clients Love Connection have defeated Holy Family in one of the most brutal matches in BRL history. There will be no celebration just a busy night at the ER! GRUDGE MATCH: HOOLIGAN JAX MCALLISTER vs. DUNGEON MASTER SHELDON SHRUTE McAlister and his mother, Olga, were already in the ring, pacing back and forth, when Sheldon Shrute’s music hit and the Dungeon Master made his way to the ring in a “THE DICEMAN COMETH” t-shirt, accompanied by Mama and Mima Hamilton. Before the opening bell, McAlister made the mistake of slapping Mima on the butt which set Shrute off. He attacked Jax along with Mama. Then Olga jumped in. But, when the referee tried to restore order, Mima hit him from behind with her walker! Without a ref, it was total mayhem! While Olga, Mama, and Mima brawled outside of the ring, inside the ring, Jax hit Shrute repeatedly with his gloved hand until Sheldon’s face was a crimson mask. Jax held the gloved hand up in the air and smiled at the crowd as he prepared to deliver a death blow to Shrute. But the death blow was delivered to Jax’s groin via Shrute’s boot! As the Legendary Hooligan crumpled to the mat, the Dungeon Master reached into his tights, took out a sock, filled it with polyhedral dice, and used the loaded sock to pummel McAlister, busting him open in the process. Olga climbed up onto the ring apron to help her son but she was grabbed from behind by Mama and Mima who, together, drove her through the announcer’s table. As Mima took a potato out from her bosom and shoved it in Olga’s mouth, a backup referee came running out to restore order but mistakenly got in between Jax and Shrute as they were exchanging shots and ended up with a gloved fist to one side of his head and a sock full of dice to the other. For the second time in the match, a ref went down in a heap as Shrute and McAlister continued to pound on each other. Then, from the back, carrying baseball bats, came Flashy Jack Ferdinand and Nick Legacy of Dynasty — the other two competitor’s in the upcoming Main Event Fatal Four Way! They entered the ring and ruthlessly attacked Shrute and McAlister who were too worn down to put up much of a fight. Olga, Mama, and Mima tried to help but were thrown from the ring by Ferdinand and Legacy who continued their brutal assault. Finally, officials from backstage stormed the ring to stop further damage and set up a hell of a match at Main Event! [496-496] GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP: PUNK ROCK MIKE © vs. SUPERSTAR CHRIS CHAMPION The fans welcomed Champion warmly, but they exploded in cheers at PRM’s arrival! Both men kept it in the ring and didn’t stray from a hard-hitting, clean competition. The youngster was giving it everything he had, but when he went up for a leap frog, he landed awkwardly and his knee buckled. Referee Willy Pinnem wanted to call the match, but Chris convinced him to let it go on. Mike saw the opening and targeted the injured knee with a steady stream of strikes and holds that increased the pain. As the time reached 20 minutes, PRM applied the Figure Four leglock and got the tap out to retain the Global title via submission. [498-405]

**Fireworks explode in front of a capacity crowd at the Willowick Arena in Willowick, OH. The monitor above the stage flashes NWL Futurescape, and the camera cuts to NWL Announcer Hugh Jass…**)

Hugh Jass: Hello everyone across the IWAR network, and welcome to the maiden voyage of NWL Futurescape! We’ve got a hell of a show for you tonight, so let’s get to it!

GENECO. (Zydrate & Nivek Largo) vs. THE $YNDICATE (Toa Anoa & Samoan Assassin) w/’Queen’ Kyla (Winners face off at Clash 20 for the Young Lions Tag-Team Championship) The Teamster: These are two of the top teams in the NWL! The ‘future faces’ of the IWAR Zydrate and Nivek Largo take on former NWL tag-team champions The $yndicate. Nivek starts against Toa, who’s quickness initially proves too much, until Largo hits a powerslam. In comes Zydrate who misses a clothesline, allowing a tag to Samoan Assassin. Assassin hits an Oklahoma Stampede on Zydrate, but only gets the 2 count. ‘Queen’ Kyla protests the ‘slow’ count, distracting the ref, while Toa Anoa throws some brass knucks to Assassin. An enraged Largo hits Assassin with a spear, before taking out Toa. Zydrate hits the Surgical Strike for the 3. [GC-506, $YN-492]

HC TITLE #2 CONTENDER MATCH: CALIFORNIA GUNSLINGER vs. LANCE HOROWITZ vs. COL. DOOM (Winner faces Nivek Largo (c) & Mic Ferrari at Clash 20) Hugh Jass: I smell ‘match of the year’ candidate! These three are hungry to add to their NWL accolades. Col. Doom is the initial target, as C.G. and Lance nail the former NWL League Champion with stiff rights. Gunslinger hits a backbreaker, before Lance drops a stiff right elbow. Lance goes for the pin, but C.G. breaks it up. Lance and C.G. brawl, and spill to the floor. Lance grabs a chair and hammers Gunslinger in the spine! Doom interjects with a flying cross body on Lance! Doom then reaches into the crowd and steals a cane from an elderly woman! Doom nails Lance! Gunslinger uses a trash can lid to smoke Doom in the dome! Gunslinger rolls Doom onto the announcers table, and lookout he’s going for Slingin’ For The Fences! But Doom hits a low-blow! Doom hits his infamous PILEDRIVER through the table! 1…2…3!! [CD-495, LH-489, CG-492]

NEWCOMER 6-MAN!!! (Interrupted by Gonna Get Got Scott & EVIL) Dapper Dan Dee: Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m here with the team of El Jefe, Blind Fury and TIE: Beastmaster. You three have a BIG opportunity tonight, how are you approaching this match?

(**Before they can answer, Colossus obliterates all three men. Chief Logan enters and they lay a beatdown on the competitors. Gonna Get Got Scott appears in a trench coat and his wrestling gear. He crouches beside El Jefe…**)

GGG Scott: The sacrificial lambs, sent to the wolves to be slaughtered. You’ll find peace in knowing that your sacrifice wasn’t in VEIN.

(**EVIL make their way to the ring, and GGG Scott grabs the microphone…**)

GGG Scott: (**Frantic boos from the crowd**) It seems as though there was a little MISHAP in the back. But I mean, The Teamster didn’t think he could keep EVIL off the card completely?! So if there’s anyone looking to be another SACRIFICE at the hands of EVIL, NOW is your chance at MARTYRDOM.

(**After a few moments of silence, the theme music of Revolt hits, and Nick Dane, Lachlan Kinkaid and Wolf Keenan hit the ring with a head of steam…**)

Hugh Jass: This is quite the development! Willy Pinnem is in the ring, and he calls for the bell! This is a SANCTIONED NWL match! Scott starts with Nick Dane, who sends him off the ropes and hits a gravity-defying dropkick! Dane tags in Kinkaid, who goes for a tornado DDT, but Scott hits a northern lights suplex. Scott tags Colossus, who hits some clubbing blows. Colossus goes for a choke slam, but Kinkaid nails him with a boot. Kinkaid tags in Wolf Keenan, while Chief Logan tags himself in, slapping Colossus on the back. Logan and Keenan have a technical exchange. Logan maneuvers Keenan into an abdominal stretch, but Keenan hits a hip toss. Scott charges in but is hit with a back body drop. All six men are in the ring, and somewhere in the fracas Nick Dane is tagged in. From a seemingly impossible angle, he hits the 3 Second Magic, and pins Chief Logan! After the match, the untamed beast Colossus lays waste to HNR…he seems to want to go further with the beatdown, but Scott lures him up the ramp. If Scott has come into stronger powers, this is not good for the NWL. [HNR-514, EVIL-512]

ROD CAMINO & DAVE THE DECISION vs. RIOT SQUAD (Traditional & General Warlock) (Winners face off at Clash 20 for the Young Lions Tag-Team Championship) The Teamster: Rod and Dave clearly have something to prove here! They are no-nonsense as they hit the ring! Dave actually throws away his cigarette BEFORE the match! Rod and Dave lay a beating on Riot Squad before Warlock is tossed out. Rod hits a neck breaker on Traditional, before schmoozing with some ladies in the crowd. Rod tags Dave, who uses clubbing axe handle smashes. Traditional takes advantage of Dave’s years of hard drinking and heavy smoking, to hit some elbows to the mid-section and make a tag to Warlock. Dave shakes off the years of substance abuse and tosses Warlock into the corner. Dave tags Rod, and they hit the Waxed ‘N Vaxed for the win. Suddenly ’17 Girls at Once’ by Steel Panther hits the PA, and the NWL Tag-Team Champions Mic Ferrari and Sam Hain enter. The four men have a stare-down, Mic and Sam holding their titles high. The fans are CLAMOURING to see this showdown!!! [ROD & DAVE 508]

Dynasty throws Rhett into the corner but misses a flying elbow. Rhett hits stiff strikes, followed by a big running boot. Dynasty rolls out but Rhett is in hot pursuit.

Mike goes for the …And Justice for All, but Rhett maneuvers and sinches the Pig Splitter! It’s locked in! Dynasty is about to tap…but another low blow! The ref calls for the bell, and Dynasty has been DQ’d! Dynasty is grabbing the Love Box and starts hammering the Country Hammer! Here comes Rowe Grady to chase off Mike Dynasty! How will Rhett fare in tonight’s main event?!?!

US MAYLE vs. LONESTAR REDNECK (Willowick Classic Semi-Final #2 Winner enters Futurescape Main Event for Chance at Young Lions Championship Match at Clash 20) Dapper Dan Dee: This is one of the more ‘under the radar’ feuds so far. Redneck enters, but here comes US Mayle! Mayle takes a swing with the ‘Social Distancing Stick’, but it seems like Redneck telegraphed the move! Redneck ducks and hits a boot, followed by a DDT on the ramp. It’s clear there is some bad blood here, as Redneck take to absolutely obliterating Mayle off the barriers on either side of the ramp. The bell hasn’t even rung, as Redneck goes to toss Mayle into the ring steps. But Mayle reverses the move and sends Redneck knees-first. Redneck is out, as Mayle rolls into the ring and the bell sounds. Mayle asks the ref to start the 10 count! Redneck breaks the count at 8, and rolls in.

Redneck approaches, and Mayle sends him face first into the exposed turnbuckle. Mayle hits the ‘Special Delivery’ for the pin…

FIGHTER X vs. STEVIE VERTIGO (w/’Queen’ Kyla) ($25,000 Challenge) Dapper Dan Dee: This one has been simmering for a while, and now Young Lions Champion Stevie Vertigo will go head-to-head with Fighter X, with $25,000 at stake! This IS a NON-TITLE match. Stevie starts off avoiding a clean lockup. He begs off several times, using a poke to the eye to gain the advantage. Stevie throws X off the ropes and hits a dropkick. Stevie gains a headlock, but X uses his pure strength to lift Stevie and toss him STRAIGHT to the floor! X hits a German suplex, before ‘Queen’ Kyla causes a distraction. When X turns around, he’s met with a high knee strike. Stevie rolls X into the ring, and shows off some strength of his own, lifting X for a devastating Ushigoroshi. Stevie pins for 2. Stevie yells at Willy Pinnem, allowing X to hit another German suplex, but this time with a bridge…1…2…kickout! But X holds on and hits a violent German suplex into the corner! Stevie rolls out, when ‘Queen’ Kyla distracts Willy. X approaches, and flips Kyla in! Kyla is begging off the big man, when Toa Anoa and Samoan Assassin hit!

[SV–496, FX–469]

RHETT GRADY vs. US MAYLE (Willowick Classic Finals Winner Faces Stevie Vertigo (c) and Gonna Get Got Scott for the Young Lions Championship at Clash 20) Hugh Jass: Both competitors have fought hard to get here! Rhett Grady beating Mike Dynasty and U.S. Mayle taking out Lonestar Redneck. Although short, this feud is one of the hottest in the NWL. In a matchup of ‘Hillbilly Strong Style’ vs. Mayle’s tactics, this one’s bound to get ugly! An unexpected visit to the Grady Ranch by Mayle set these two on a collision course, one that ends right HERE! Mayle enters, soaking in the boos. As he enters, Mayle calls for a microphone… Dapper Dan Dee: Suddenly, Rhett Grady sprints down the aisle, not even waiting for his music. Grady slides in and spears Mayle through the ropes. Both men spill to the floor. They throw haymakers until Mayle gains the advantage and reaches for his Social Distancing Stick. He attempts to hit Grady, who blocks the shot and grabs the stick. The Teamster: The crowd is going wild! Grady throws the stick aside and clobbers Mayle with a vicious clothesline. He rips off his t-shirt and looks under the ring. Mayle staggers to his feet and grabs a steel chair. Grady turns to meet a wicked chair shot to the forehead! “Country Hammer” is busted wide open. Mayle tosses him into the ring as the bell finally rings for the official start. Dapper Dan Dee: U.S. Mayle begins to stalk Grady. Blood is pouring from his forehead, but he motions for Mayle to come on in for some more. They lock up. Hip toss by Grady, followed by a headlock.

Mayle is up, and Grady comes in with a clothesline that misses. Drop-toe hold by Mayle. The “Total Package” cinches in an ankle lock, but Grady manages to get to the rope.

Off the count, Mayle slams down on Grady with multiple elbow drops, then picks him up and hits a devastating neckbreaker. Cover for 2. Grady kicks out and gets back to his feet, but Mayle immediately goes for the Mayle Drop! Grady blocks it and counters with a DDT. Hugh Jass: The mat is soaked pink with the blood of both men. Grady grabs up Mayle and hits a short-arm clothesline, then drops into a modified Fujiwara armbar. Mayle screams as the ref checks for a tap, but he manages to slip out and reverses into an arm-hook sleeper. Grady can’t get to the ropes and begins to fade! The ref is watching as the “Country Hammer” turns red. Suddenly, Grady manages to hook the bottom rope with his foot, breaking the hold! Dapper Dan Dee: Mayle thinks the match is over and raises his hand in victory! The ref grabs his arm and explains the situation, but Mayle isn’t having it. Grady gets to his feet on the other side of the ring and runs towards Mayle for a high-knee. Mayle grabs the ref and pulls him into the path just as Grady crashes into him! Mayle jumps outside and grabs his Social Distancing Stick as Grady tries to revive the referee. He slides back in and comes at Grady with the stick, blasting him! Hugh Jass: Mayle goes for the count, but the ref is still down. Mayle is livid! He grabs the ref and slaps him across the face to wake him up. Meanwhile, Rhett is to his feet! Mayle turns and is met the Pig Splitter!!! Mayle’s struggle is short-lived. The ref shakes off the cobwebs in time to see Mayle tapping! Announcer: “By submission, the winner of the Willowick Classic, the “Country Hammer” Rhett Grady!” Dapper Dan Dee: Willy Pinnem is raising Rhett’s hand to a thunderous ovation! Rhett is soaking in the adulation…but here comes Stevie Vertigo! Dammit! No! Stevie just nailed Rhett with a baseball bat! ‘Queen’ Kyla, is close behind, carrying Stevie’s NWL Young Lions Championship and TV Title. Stevie lays into Rhett with more bat shots, before Kyla hands him a mic… SV: Welcome to the MAIN EVENT tough guy! You think you can reach the same heights as me?! Hugh Jass: Someone’s gotta stop this! Stevie just keeps hitting him with the bat! He’s helpless! Rhett seems to be reaching for help, but on the screen, Toa Anoa and Samoan Assassin are beating on Rowe Grady! ’Queen’ Kyla hands Stevie a stack of $100 bills. Stevie throws the money at Rhett… SV: Consider this a down payment on the Grady Ranch! I know Aunt Betsy wasn’t too fussy on what US Mayle was PITCHING, but the people I work for don’t exactly take NO for an answer! Dapper Dan Dee: Now Stevie is holding the end of that bat to Rhett’s throat! SV: And when I’m done overseeing the acquisition of the Grady Ranch…I’m gonna burn that festering mudhole to the ground! Hugh Jass: Stevie is raising that bat high above his head…BUT HERE COMES FIGHTER X!!! Fighter X slides in for the save, chasing Stevie off and calling the NWL medics for Rhett. This has been a hell of a start to Futurescape! And it seems like we have more questions than answers! ‘Futurescape Ratings Bonanza’ IWAR Network executives are said to be very pleased with the returns on the NWL’s first episode of Futurescape. Primary advertiser ‘The Love Glove’ is seeing a surge in sales as a result of the show’s success, with Love Glove representatives estimating sales of the product to have jumped 23% since a commercial for their product aired during Futurescape.
