The Oh My Godcast: An ECW Retrospective

We're back with a new show looking at the January 25 and February 1, 1994 episodes of NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling. These are the final shows before one of the seminal events in early ECW and emotions are running high. Listen along with us as Terry Funk, Paul E. Dangerously for Sabu, and Shane Douglas prepare for a Three-Way Dance that will become a key moment on our journey to the Extreme. Other topics include Pat Tanaka's parentage, the bond between Sabu and The Sheik, the ECW debut of Mikey Whipwreck, and obligatory 1994 cultural references.@OhMyGodcastECW

Mr. "Jumpin'" TRAE "Six-Pack" Sulli and Ben E. Dangerously return to finish year one of ECW and enter year two. We briefly discuss the passing of Sabu and the disaster that was the Body Count Match before never speaking of the latter again. This week, Sabu, Terry Funk, and Shane Douglas are all contending for the ECW Heavyweight Championship in a way that will soon cross a significant line. Also, Matty in the House hawks t-shirts, The Rockin' Rebel commits an unpardonable sin, Jason's influence expands, The Sandman does car pranks, and Chad Austin rides through desert on a chokeslam from a 911 with no name.https://x.com/OhMyGodcastECW

This week on the Oh My Godcast, Terry Funk and Paul E. Dangerously cut their final promos for Holiday Hell as Funk searches for a few good men, but has to make do with what he can find. Meanwhile, the tag team title is on the line, Shane Douglas's motivations are unclear, and the music picker for the hype videos understands the assignment.

Trae and Ben return with reviews of the November 30 and December 7, 1993 episodes of NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling. This week, the promos are as good as usual and the wrestling is a little better than usual. Sabu defends the ECW Heavyweight Championship against The Tazmaniac; meanwhile, Terry Funk and Paul E. Dangerously cut promos for the Viewer's Choice match at Holiday Hell. Also, we marvel at the speed of the Pennsylvania criminal justice system as the Public Enemy have already been charged, tried, convicted, sentence, and incarcerated for a crime they committed a fortnight ago - but worry not, because they'll be out by Christmas!

Join the boys for a show ripe with technical difficulties! This week, Trae's computer keeps going haywire when he plays the episode clips, the worst tag team division ever crowns new champions again, Terry Funk frightens Joey Styles, and wrestlers are held accountable for committing felonious assault for possibly the first and only time ever. If you're a new listener, this is a good show to start with because Paul E. Dangerously cuts a seven-minute promo explaining all of the key storylines in the territory. Enjoy!

It's an all new OH! OH! OH! My Godcast! This week, the fellas review the November 2 and 9, 1993 episodes of NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling, the go-home shows for the November to Remember. Listen along as Trae becomes angry at the sound of Matty in the House's voice and Ben develops hives at the sight of Jason. Also, the new Ford Escorts are very affordable, The Sandman is left for dead, Peaches is upset, Tod Gordon is confused, and Paul E. Dangerously is a master manipulator. If that's not enough for you, Trae imagines either the best or worst smoke circle ever, Joey Styles explains a stupid stipulation that Kevin Sullivan tries to make the best of, Madusa and Sherri Martel do a great job building a match that never happens, and we learn the Top 10 Reasons You Should Be at the November to Remember. #8 will shock you!

Join us as we review the October 19 and 26, 1993 episodes ofNWA Eastern Championship Wrestling. This week, the Public Enemy make parole to wrestle Badd Company, there are serious problems in the New Dangerous Alliance, Trae hates Matty in the House, Terry Funk is unreasonable, Jason wears a suit, and Kevin Sullivan wonders what a "shoot fight" is.

The boys are back with a new episode covering the October 5 and 12, 1993 episodes of NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling! We know we say this every week, but it's really starting to look like ECW now. This week, we begin our coverage of NWA Bloodfe(a)st '93. Join us as Jimmy Snuka battles Terry Funk in a Steel Cage for the Television Championship, we learn of another unexplained title change, and Rockin' Rebel is a douchebag. We also witness the debuts of several more future ECW legends, including a death defier, a maniac, a pretty boy who definitely isn't hardcore, and a "rotten" tag team. Enjoy!

It's a new year and Eastern Championship Wrestling feels like a new company. Things are finally starting to resemble the ECW that everyone remembers. This week, Joey Styles takes over hosting duties as Jay "Six-Pack" Sulli prepares for the Fall Fashion Swimwear Showdown. Sal Bellomo's career may be over, and Joey is very distressed about it. Matty in the House is in the house, and Trae is pretty distressed about that. Elsewhere, Sabu is headed to ECW, Kevin Sullivan is bizarre, and the Public Enemy are our new promo MVPs. Enjoy the show!

We close out the year with a review of the biggest ECW card yet, Ultra Clash '93! We also discuss the September 14, 1993 episode of Eastern Championship Wrestling, but mostly only to say how little happened on it. This week, the Pennsylvania Heavyweight Championship is defended for the first time since it was introduced and the last time ever. We also have a new ECW Heavyweight Champion, but don't worry your head about how, when, or where that happened. Ultra Clash gives us the debut of the Public Enemy, a mask vs. mask match between former friends, a horrendous scaffold bump, and a main event with a terrible finish. Also, the athletic commission ruins an advertised stipulation, the mixed gender battle royal is so bad that it's good, and Jay Sulli is VISIBLY UPSET! Enjoy the show and have a safe and happy New Year. Follow Trae on BlueSky⁠ ⁠Follow Ben on BlueSky
