Retro Wrestling Re-View WCW Podcast Ep. 5: WrestleWar '89 Music City Showdown

Wrestling

The Retro Wrestling Re-View WCW Podcast continues as Gene Jackson and Bob Anderson head to Nashville, Tennessee for WrestleWar ’89: Music City Showdown, a pay-per-view caught right in the middle of WCW’s turbulent early 1989 transition period. Coming off Clash of the Champions VI and the abrupt firing of George Scott, WCW presents a show that feels directionless at times, yet still manages to feature flashes of brilliance. Gene and Bob break down a strange, uneven card highlighted by Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat for the World Heavyweight Championship with judges at ringside in case of a draw, The Great Muta shows a TON of potential already, Terry Funk officially igniting his legendary 1989 feud with Flair, and an unexpected U.S. Title change involving “Mike P.S. Hayes” and “the Total Package” Lex Luger. Along the way, the guys discuss: * WCW’s creative uncertainty/insanity in early 1989 * Flair vs. Steamboat and the post match attack NO ONE saw coming * Terry Funk’s table spot that flips the switch on WCW ’89 * Doug Gilbert stepping in for Junkyard Dog * Varsity Club overload and other questionable booking decisions * Why WrestleWar ’89 is a look at an odd moment in WCW history It’s a show full of contradictions part classic, part chaos and Gene and Bob break it all down with humor, context, and plenty of side commentary.
