It's baaaaaccckkk! 2021 wouldn't be the same without our annual re-release of one of our most hilarious episodes. That's right, for some, WCW Starrcade '90: Collision Course may be known for the disaster that was Ric Flair cosplaying as the Black Scorpion, but for us, this is where we witnessed one of the funniest matches ever. Listen to us attempt to hold back tears while a pair of Russian shooters absolutely blind-side some fat Canadian Indian and a homeless man’s 911 with their “Soviet Strong Style” during the Pat O'Connor Memorial International Cup Tag Team Tournament!

We've got another Flashback Episode of Time Limit Draw! On this episode, we reviewed WCW's Fall Brawl 1995! Flyin' Brian Pillman and Johnny B Badd have an epic battle over who will be the one to battle Sting for his US Title belt. The match you never thought you'd see, but are pretty glad it happened. "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson battles his longtime friend Ric Flair! And then there's a bunch of other garbage. DDP gets a shot at Renegade's TV Title, Harlem Heat and Bunkhouse Buck and Dick Slater battle for Maggle's affections and for the Tag Team Titles. And, possibly the worst War Games match ever, The Hulkamaniacs (Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Sting, Lex Luger) take on The Dungeon of Doom (Shark, Zodiac, Kamala, Meng). Gee, I wonder who's going to win that one.

It's Deportation on a Pole at Summerslam as Bret "The Hitman" Hart vows to never return to America if he does not wrestle the WWF Championship from The Undertaker, even if his hated arch rival Shawn Michaels is the special guest referee! And if Shawn shows any bias, he's getting exiled, too! We also have the match that changed everything, as Stone Cold Steve Austin challenges Owen Hart for the Intercontinental Title. HHH jerks the curtain again within the confines of a steel cage with Dudekind. Or Man Love. Or something. In a special "22 years ahead of its time" match, DOA takes on Los Boricuas.

JR and Mikey rediscover their edge at In Your House: Final Four. The WWF Title is VACANT after Shawn Michaels lost his drug stash, er, smile and a new champion will be crowned when Undertaker, Vader, Bret Hart, and Steve Austin tangle in a four way gimmick. Owen and Davey Boy defend the tag titles against Furnas & LaFon, but will all the champions’ gold survive the evening? Marlena catches the Katahajime from a mystery accomplice of HHH after Helmsley’s IC Title battle with young whippersnapper Rocky Maivia.

It’s War Games at WrestleWar ‘91! Inside the confines of a double ring steel cage, who’s gonna bleed, who’s gonna no-sell, and who’s gonna attempt murder on live PPV when Sting and his buddies take on the Horsemen? How many stars can U.S. Champ Lex Luger carry Dan Spivey to? (More than you’d think.) The Freebirds kick off their negative title reign in style with Diamond Dallas Page and some “brown sugar.” We’ve got a great crowd, the most random six man tag match you’ll ever see, Buddy Landel being hilarious, Bobby Eaton being awesome, Alexandra York’s Tandy word processor, Vader and Hansen stiffing each other, WCW Production Values, Jim Ross dunking on little kids, and Big Dust is back in the saddle, if you will, in pul’lic, with the book and a bottle. Pass the Courvoisier and settle in with JR and Mikey for this hilarious LATE NIGHT EDITION of TLD.
Share some leftovers with JR and Mikey as they look back on Survivor Series 1990. Who will make the Grand Finale of Ultimate Survival or whatever the silly gimmick? The Hulkster and his cronies? Earthquake and World’s Stongest Man Bravo? The Ultimate Warrior’s painted up team of... wait, Kerry forgot his paint. Perfect and Demolition? Jake’s team of cocaine? Model Martel’s Visionaries? And someone in the match featuring the biggest jobbers of all time has to survive, so why not “The Arriba Man” Chico Santana? Come for the Powerplex, stay for the do-si-do with the The Gobbledy Gooker. We’re getting pinfalls off of clotheslines in the latest edition of TLD.
Share some turkey with the TLD boys over a serving of Survivor Series ‘93.
