SHOT OF NOSTALGIA #7.2 | THE SMACKDOWN SIX ERA | BLUEPRINT OF GREATNESS | EDDIE VS EDGE | AUG–SEP 2002 | THE TAG TEAM FORMULA TAKES SHAPE
The Turnbuckle Tavern
The DeLorean’s still parked under the blue lights — and in Episode 2 of Shot of Nostalgia: Season 7 – The SmackDown Six Era, we’re stepping into the stretch where SmackDown built its identity. Acefield Retro breaks down Blueprint of Greatness, when Paul Heyman’s creative direction started to take form. By late 2002, Raw leaned on promos and spectacle, while SmackDown focused on matches that told stories and defined characters. This episode features a watch-along of Edge vs. Eddie Guerrero (No DQ, 9/26/02) — a match that shows exactly how the SmackDown Six style came to life:...

Wrestling Tonight: AEW BLOOD & GUTS PREVIEW | WWE OUTPACES UFC FINANCIALLY | CHELSEA GREEN’S A DOUBLE CHAMP | AEW’S NATIONAL TITLE SPARKS NWA BACKLASH
The Turnbuckle Tavern
Acefield Retro and Chad are back for Wrestling Tonight, and Episode 150 lands during one of the biggest weeks of the year. AEW is heading to Greensboro next Wednesday for Blood and Guts, live on TBS and HBO Max, with an expanded two-and-a-half-hour broadcast that feels closer to a pay-per-view than a weekly show. Hangman Page does battle against Powerhouse Hobbs in a Falls Count Anywhere match, the fifth men’s Blood and Guts takes place, and for the first time ever, the women get their turn inside the cage. Greensboro isn’t just another stop—it’s the birthplace of WarGames, and AEW is...

The Turnbuckle Debate #248
The Turnbuckle Tavern
The week we are joined by The Tavern's own Colton and Ace! Join us as we ask Is Logan Paul the piece that finally makes The Vision matter, or is WWE forcing a brand fit that won’t last; Is Seth Rollins becoming one of wrestling’s great “what if” stories, or have injuries stopped being a real setback in an era where stars never truly disappear; and If WWE approached AEW for a cross-promotional deal to feature Edge at Cena’s farewell show, would saying yes make AEW look progressive or weak? It's going to be a fun week here at The Tavern, so to make sure you do not miss anything, go to...

SHOT OF NOSTALGIA #7.1: THE SMACKDOWN SIX ERA | THE SPLIT & THE SPARK | MAR–JUL 2002 | DRAFT NIGHT | EDDIE’S RETURN | EDGE VS ANGLE | REY’S DEBUT
The Turnbuckle Tavern
Shot of Nostalgia is back for Season 7, and we’re jumping straight into one of the most important turning points in modern wrestling history. The DeLorean’s set for 2002—a year where WWE was trying to figure itself out, and SmackDown quietly stole the show. Acefield Retro kicks things off with The Split & The Spark, covering March through July 2002, when everything started to change. The Invasion had fizzled out, the roster was packed to the brim, and WWE needed a new identity. The solution came in the form of the first-ever Brand Extension. Raw got the spectacle. SmackDown got the...
info_outlineThe week we are joined by JBUGZ from Rawdown and Travis from Wicked Bitter! Join us as we ask Is it best to have your top stars a special attraction(limited appearances) or be apart of the show in a major role weekly; is AEW and WWE really as different as the tribalistic fans want you to think; and who is more likely to turn heel first: Jey Uso or Iyo Sky?
