Yes you read that right friends. It's finally time to do the long demanded Episode Zero of the show, covering the Greatest Night in the History of Our Sport right before Thunder began. The hilarious and mildly embarrassing circumstances that led us to do this episode now are revealed within, but suffice to say we are big dumb idiots but what a show this is to cover nonetheless as we bear witness to the culmination of the Sting vs. Hogan angle that had been brewing for a year and a half. This is ...

Either way we try to drink in the quality while it lasts: *Was Scott Steiner's performance good? *Should Macho Man have had referees gear? ^What is a babyface? *How much did that tag match rule?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays From Days of Thunder! To celebrate the festive season, Dave and Lee decided to treat you to what we do best: suffering during horrendous wrestling shows! And to do that, we had to bring in some help this time, in the form of Garrett and Liam from You've Got To Be Kidding me, the best TNA Retrospective pod on the block. As it's a crossover between WCW and TNA pods, we thought that the best show to look at was the debut PPV from the company that wasn't quite WCW ...
