SHOT OF NOSTALGIA #1.10: WCW 1996 | MAY 6th & MAY 13th MONDAY NITRO | GO HOME SHOW BEFORE LETHAL LOTTERY!

The Turnbuckle Tavern

In episode 10 Ace is solo to discuss the MAY 6th & MAY 13th episodes of Monday Night Nitro from 1996. We continue to travel back in time and revisit the news as it happened in real-time. These two episodes are the final two before SLAMBOREE 1996. THE GIANT is a defending champion here on NITRO & takes on all comers even ....Jim Duggan?! This the end of an era as we know it because it is the final episode without SCOTT HALL & KEVIN NASH showing up as they finish up their obligations in STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT. This week is full of some great wrestling that of all different styles. DEAN MALENKO wins the CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP but they can't show it on TV because of tape delay. Confusing to film events in BULK. We comb through the newsletter & take the pulse of what’s going on in the wrestling world. We compare it to today’s landscape as well. Great conversation! Hop aboard the time-traveling bandwagon on the Tavern and grab your weekly Shot of Nostalgia. As always, tip your bartenders & learn from the past!
