In episode 18 ACEFIELD RETRO returns with MIKE BELCASTER to
discuss the AUG 5th MONDAY NITRO & WCW HOG WILD live from STURGIS
MOTORCYCLE RALLY. HULK HOGAN gets his shot at the WCW CHAMPIONSHIP.
What type of WEATHER did HOG WILD have to overcome? Will we see the
emergence of that 4th man that has been being teased throughout the
last few weeks? What was the reception in holding a PPV at the
Sturgis rally? Would WCW be willing to do it again? Don't forget we
get ULTIMO DRAGON v. REY MYSTERIO, DEAN MALENKO v. CHRIS BENOIT &
of course, RIC FLAIR vs EDDIE GUERRERO for the US TITLE. Which
match will steal the show from SOUTH DAKOTA? Would the crowd on
MOTORCYCLES even care?! As usual, we dive deep into Uncle Dave's
newsletter as it happened in real-time to bring in CONTEXT and help
us travel completely back to 1996 to get an idea of what this event
meant to WCW's drive to overtake WWF in the MONDAY NIGHT WARS. The
NEW WORLD ORDER leading the charge is the hottest storyline in
wrestling and this felt like a crowning moment for them with HOGAN
taking the title off of GIANT. As always, this episode is sure to
be a fantastic time with the main homie Belly to Belcaster. OH, and
by the way, there are a decent amount of DQ and non-finishes. Bring
your drinking shoes. Don't forget to grab your weekly Shot of
Nostalgia at 7 PM Eastern (our new time) & stay tuned for BEFORE
OUR TIME directly following us to cap A FLASHBACK FRIDAY ON THE
TAVERN. As always, tip your bartenders & learn from the past! LIKE
