In episode 16 ACEFIELD RETRO returns with MIKE BELCASTER to discuss the JULY 8th & JULY 15th MONDAY NITRO both emanating from the DISNEY MGM STUDIOS! We rear back and get ready to start the NWO era in WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING. As usual, we use the newsletter as it happened in real-time to tie in CONTEXT and bring us completely back to 1996 to understand the scope of what was happening in the world of wrestling. HOGAN is officially a heel and he addresses the audience for the first time donned in all black. REY MYSTERIO gets his first CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP win against DEAN MALENKO in what was another awesome display of wrestling that transcends time. By a streak of BAD LUCK, WCW is forced to run two taped NITROS in front of largely non wrestling FANS as they're follow up for the biggest HEEL TURN in history because of TURNER trucks all covering the 1996 OLYMPICS IN ATLANTA. WCW took a backseat and had to record in DISNEY STUDIOS. DID IT HURT THEM? As always, this episode is sure to be an absolutely incredible time with the main homie Belly to Belcaster. It's going to be hard to top that episode last week but you know we are trying our hardest on the build to HOG WILD. We are certain you will enjoy the ride with us taking our own drinks based on WCW BOOKING. Who knows how many DQ finishes will force us to take SHOTS OF NOSTALGIA live on air?! As for the tying-in, that's the best part. We place what is happening in 1996 and compare it to 2022's wrestling platform. Just a great discourse about retro pro wrestling!

SHOT OF NOSTALGIA #1.15: WCW 1996 | JUL 1st WCW NITRO & BASH AT THE BEACH | THE BIRTH OF NWO
In episode 15 ACEFIELD RETRO returns with MIKE BELCASTER AND A VERY SPECIAL GUEST MATT FROM EXTRA COOLER to discuss the JULY 1st NITRO & the BASH AT THE BEACH PPV live from DAYTONA baby! We pull the engine, get it started, and point the time machine towards 1996. As usual, we thumb through the newsletter as it happened in real-time fresh off the fingertips of good ol' Dave Meltzer onto what had to be a typewriter or an early word processing computer. Titan Sports OFFICIALLY filed both a LAWSUIT and a request for a restraining order against Turner Broadcasting, World Championship Wrestling, and Eric Bischoff largely as a result of WCW's top angle involving Kevin Nash and Scott Hall invading WCW. Vince trying to angle himself as the little engine that could and the Mom & Pop shop being targeted. We touch on more drama with ULTIMATE WARRIOR on the WWF side. Who would have guessed that it would not work out with the always interesting Ultimate Warrior?! FINALLY, what was the reaction in the newsletter to HOGAN'S HEEL TURN? WAS THAT ALWAYS THE PLAN?! As always, this episode is sure to be an incredible time with the main homie Belly to Belcaster and our fellow POD FOUNDATION brethren, Matt from Extra Cooler Who knows how many DQ finishes will force us to take SHOTS OF NOSTALGIA live on air?! We will continue to take the temperature of the wrestling world's events in 1996. We place it and compare it to 2022's wrestling landscape as well. Amazing conversation!
