It's another Monday morning and what better way to start the week than with the House Show crew? We are joined today by one of our longtime friends, The Mangler. The four of us reminisce over fantasy booking wrestlers while sitting on the porch. We then look back to six years ago when the WWE Network launched and the first things we watched on the new platform. All four of us remember our favorite wrestling collectibles we used to own that we wish we had back. All of this plus the usual banter y...

The House Show 20 - WWF No Way Out of Texas: In Your House The Mad Libs of pay per views! Throw people together. Throw matches together. Give me two nouns.

This event took place February 15, 1998 at the Compaq Center in Houston, Texas in front of over 16,000 fans. Stone Cold is the biggest thing in wrestling, followed clo...

Are you ready? It's a time of rebellion and immaturity in the WWF. Language, sexuality, and violence rule the day. There's some wrestling too. In the two months since the last In Your House PPV, Bret Hart has left the WWF, Shawn Michaels has officially formed DX, the New Age Outlaws are ruling the tag team division, and Steve Austin can wrestle again. There's so many changes in two months it feels like two years. This event took place on December 7, 1997 at the Springfield Civic Center in Spring...

Everyone go to the bathroom before starting the podcast, because we're not stopping until we discuss all three hours of this pay per view. That's right, for the first time in the In Your House series this show is an hour longer and this new time frame continues for the rest of the shows. Ground Zero is also the first show to put the event name in front of the In Your House tag. This took place September 7, 1997 at the Louisville Gardens In Louisville, KY for... under 5,000 fans. That's not a goo...

Arguably the hottest crowd in WWF history. Reactions so loud they literally, not figuratively, shake the building. At the height of WWF's Hart Foundation vs the United States feud this event is held north of the border. Taking place July 6, 1997 from the Canadian Airlines Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in front of over 12,000 of the most passionate fans you'll ever hear. Bret Hart returned to the WWF and found a changed landscape. Fans were behind a foul mouthed rebel by the name of Ston...

These two shows flow together so well that we finished talking about In Your House 14 and continued into the 15th installment. We didn't want to tell you all about the set up that takes place on 'Revenge of the Taker' and make our listeners wait a week for the pay off at 'A Cold Day in Hell.' Plus, take a look at these two events on the WWE Network. The graphics are exactly the same, only the dates have changed. Revenge of the 'Taker takes place on April 20, 1997 at the Rochester Community War M...

WWF In Your House: Final Four took place February 16, 1997 at the UTC Arena in Chattanooga, Tennessee in front of just over 6,000 fans who were guaranteed to see a new WWF champion crowned. This is a crazy set up so buckle up. The Royal Rumble saw a controversial finish. Steve Austin was eliminated but the referees didn't see it. He came back in and eliminated Vader, the Undertaker, and Bret Hart thus winning the Rumble. The plan all along was to have these four men face off again at In Your Hou...

WWF In Your House: It’s Time took place December 15, 1996 at the West Palm Beach Auditorium in West Palm Beach, Florida in front of nearly 6,000 fans.

Due to some internet connection issues both the Educator and the Masked Library have moved their electronics into the place where the magic happens. The podcasting magic. Magic like fantasy booking two wrestlers sw...

Buried Alive was held at the Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana on October 20th in front of nearly 10,000 fans.

A match which will see the debut of one of the "greatest" Superstars of all time. The show opens hot with the reason you're all here, headset issues!

The third brand under the WWE umbrella, NXT, held a live special event on the WWE Network this past Sunday, June 7th. Six matches including three title matches took place at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida with zero fans attending. That's right, a lot has changed in the 25 years since our usual WWF In Your House discussions. A lot has changed in the past 25 weeks. During Coronavirus times fans are not allowed in the building. We discuss how this affects the matches and the wrestlers...

How did we decide to review this event outside of our usual series? This was a request from listener Nick Opalewski! None of us had ever watched this event before and were looking forward to seeing something old but brand new to us. This event took place October 3, 1991 at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England in front of 5,000 fans. This is a few years before WWF In Your House began so there is plenty of talent seen here that we have not had the occasion to discuss. The Battle Royal was just...

WCW Monday Nitro has taken the lead. The kids who worshiped Hulk Hogan are now teenagers and young adults wanting something more edgy. WWF isn't yet fully committed to taking the product in a new direction. An upstart more mature company is getting noticed and fans are treating them as an equal alternative to WWF. All of this comes to a head September 22, 1996 from the CoreStates Center in the home of Extreme - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! 15,000 of the hardest to please wrestling fans on earth s...

On May 26, 1996 WWF was presenting the eighth In Your House event. There was a powerful thunderstorm in the area but WWF always brings back up generators for their production trucks. Unfortunately the arena had no backup. Shortly after the first match airs, the feed goes out. WWF had to scramble. A plan for fans in attendance, a plan for those watching at home, and a plan for the wrestlers in the ring. The power returned and the pay per view was back on the air in time for the main event. To mak...

WWF In Your House 7: Good Friends, Better Enemies took place April 28, 1996 from the Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Nebraska in front of over nine thousand fans. This is the oddest pay per view we've covered so far. Nothing makes sense and the main event is shocking. This show marks the last time Razor Ramon and Diesel appear in the WWF. Both men would soon debut on WCW Monday Nitro as Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, changing the wrestling industry as the new World order. WWF is buying time on this...
