SEASON 2 - EPISODE TWENTY FOUR- Fastlane 2017 March now is the road to wrestlemania and in 2017 the WWE presented Fastlane, a pay per view one month ahead of Wrestlemania. A raw exclusive ppv this show would be headlined by Kevin Owens, the universal champion, fresh off turning on his Best Friend Chris Jericho, the Owens Show was the hottest heel, and on a sure fire fastlane to Wrestlemania. However on the road to wrestlemania was a huge bump in the road named....GOLDBERG! The return of Goldb...

SEASON 2 - EPISODE TWENTY TWO - Elimination Chamber 2015

February 28, 2024 14:15 - 1 hour - 102 MB

SEASON 2 - EPISODE TWENTY TWO - Elimination Chamber 2015 A new concept in wrestling is difficult to come up with. In 2002 on the back of the attitude era and the death of any real competition, the WWE created the Elimination Chamber. Four chambers, six competitors and a whole new way of deciding titles, contenders and feuds. Like any concept be it the Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, Ladder Matches and the like, there will always be ups and downs. By 2015 the Chamber had its own ppv, but strangely...

SEASON 2 - EPISODE TWENTY ONE - Uncensored 1995

February 21, 2024 17:56 - 1 hour - 97.9 MB

SEASON 2 - EPISODE TWENTY ONE - Uncensored 1995 Oh 1995 what a terrible year you were! Well at least in wrestling terms it was, WWF was struggling to find a new direction with a New Champion in Diesel, but over in WCW despite having hold of the two biggest names in Wrestling, they were putting out pay per views like Uncensored! A show that featured a wrestling match on the back of a truck, a boxer versus wrestler contest, the most bizarre martial arts style match, and a main event strap match...

SEASON 2 - EPISODE TWENTY- Wrestling Weddings

February 14, 2024 20:16 - 3 hours - 167 MB

SEASON 2 - EPISODE TWENTY- Wrestling Weddings Love is in the air this valentines day as Better Call Creative celebrate the truest way one can express their love in the world of wrestling, a wrestling wedding! Since the early 80s it seems that wrestling and weddings have gone together like a horse and carriage as the old song says! From Butcher Vachon and the wild antics of Captain Lou Albano, to Rusev jumping out of a giant wedding cake. As many Wedding Crashers as I Do's, its fair to say a w...

SEASON 2 - EPISODE NINETEEN - WCW Sin

February 01, 2024 08:22 - 1 hour - 102 MB

SEASON 2 - EPISODE NINETEEN - WCW Sin Going into 2001, WCW was on life support. On the back of a terrible year creatively, and financially, with a series of bookers coming and going, it's fair to say optimism wasn't high. A rebrand of the ppv schedule was designed, around the seven deadly sins. The launch for this concept was the ppv named Sin, and it would feature a fatal four way main event with Scott Steiner defending his title against stable mate Jeff Jarratt, Sid Vicious and WCW's presid...

SEASON 2 - EPISODE EIGHTEEN - Royal Rumble 1999

January 27, 2024 20:41 - 1 hour - 108 MB

SEASON 2 - EPISODE EIGHTEEN - Royal Rumble 1999 Timing in life is everything isn't it. Given the terrible revelations and at the time of publishing, allegations about Vince McMahon, it is somewhat poorly timed that we would release a podcast looking back at his Royal Rumble win. However, creatively this show is a show that has performed poorly against the now lengthy Royal Rumble history. A Royal Rumble built around the biggest storyline in wrestling possibly ever in Austin v McMahon, and the...

SEASON 2 - EPISODE SEVENTEEN - Giants in Wrestling

January 19, 2024 07:31 - 2 hours - 137 MB

SEASON 2 - EPISODE SEVENTEEN - Giants in Wrestling In the immortal words of the Hall of Fame opener, it started with one! Well kind of anyway. For many when you say Giant and Wrestling, Andre will be the first name from their lips. So imposing was his legacy that it can be easy to forget those who came before and after him. However the legacy he carved has meant that the world of wrestling has been littered with Giants. No podcast could review them all, and plenty small time 6 foot plus Giant...

December 31, 2023 14:26 - 2 hours - 115 MB

SEASON 2 - EPISODE SIXTEEN - Starrcade 1998 We round out the year in wrestling tradition as we look back on Starrcade from 1998. One of the biggest years in WCW history, and whilst the 83 weeks dominance of WWF has now gone, WCW continue to look strong with the rise of the undefeated WCW Champion Goldberg going into 1999! All he must do is survive the challenge of Kevin Nash....so what could possibly go wrong! Then there is the return of the Nature Boy Ric Flair! Gone for almost a year, Slick...

SEASON 2 - EPISODE SIXTEEN - Crown Jewel 2018

SEASON 2 - EPISODE SIXTEEN - Crown Jewel 2018 It's Christmas time and we wanteed to keep everything on gimmick, and celebrate all things christmas....but that Saudi Blood Money was just all too much to turn down so we are going back to 2018 and the return match for Shawn Michaels! DX versus the Brothers of Destruction and a World Cup! Well.....it's not quite as great as it sounds on paper...or maybe it is! Yes its the match where Triple H tears his pectorial muscle, and where Kane's mask just...

SEASON 2 - EPISODE FIFTEEN- AEW All Out 2020

December 10, 2023 17:24 - 2 hours - 134 MB

SEASON 2 - EPISODE FIFTEEN- AEW All Out 2020 2020 was hardly a stealler year for any industry, but with the recovery from covid in its early stages, the wrestling industry had been hit pretty hard. A commitment to delver a product for an audiance unable to watch it live meant stilted stage hands at ringsides, with little to no atmosphere being created. AEW was starting to flesh out its roster, picking up some of WWE's biggest talent in FTR, Brody Lee and Miro but was struggling to continue it...

SEASON 2 - EPISODE FOURTEEN- Survivor Series 1994

December 01, 2023 07:49 - 1 hour - 110 MB

SEASON 2 - EPISODE FOURTEEN- Survivor Series 1994 It's the Annual Thanks Giving Tradition! It's the Survivor Series! Yes this maybe the least important of the so called big ppvs, but it still has played host to many memorable moments. The Screwjob, the Undertaker's Debut, Stings WWE Debut....and Dink, Wink and Pink! 1994 was a very strange year for the wwf, coming of a successful steriod trial, Vince McMahon was left with little confidence in his top babyface, and despite having some talented...

SEASON 2 - EPISODE THIRTEEN- TNA Destination X 2007

November 22, 2023 10:21 - 1 hour - 106 MB

SEASON 2 - EPISODE THIRTEEN- TNA Destination X 2007 Oh how we've missed TNA. It was great news to hear that Impact Wrestling will return to the once loved brand of TNA Wrestling in early 2024. We will be back to celebrate TNA's legacy around that time but before we do, we are checking out one of the reasons why the brand needed a break. In 2007 TNA was expanding it's roster and it's global appeal. Kurt Angle was the poster boy whilst the likes of Christian, AJ Styles, Sting and Samoa Joe padd...

SEASON 2 - EPISODE TWELVE- ECW November to Remember 1996 We take a well earned vacation in the land of extreme and head back to Autumn 1996, and a November to Remember! ECW were riding high, with a tv deal being ut together and a long awaited debut on ppv a few months away, this card was set to build the main event for that show, Taz versus Sabu! What a build, and what a moment on this card as the lights went out just as they were about to hook up....and another hour of wrestling took place a...

SEASON 2 - EPISODE ELEVEN- Halloween Havoc 1991

October 31, 2023 21:26 - 1 hour - 106 MB

SEASON 2 - EPISODE ELEVEN- Halloween Havoc 1991 We have reached the end of our Horror Month here on Better Call Creative and we land on All Hallows Eve, Halloween night and we are reviewing Halloween Havoc 1991. Remembered for the Chamber of Horrors match, an 8 man tag taking place inside a cage structure where the match ends when somebody is legitimately put into the electric chair. All that screams Halloween and Horror, but what we got was a Horrorshow for all the wrong reasons, and of cour...

SEASON 2 - EPISODE TEN- Send in the Clowns

October 22, 2023 12:25 - 2 hours - 132 MB

SEASON 2 - EPISODE TEN- Send in the Clowns Horror and Clowns go together like.....well Wrestling and Clowns! It seems that clowns have been in and around the wrestling world for many decades and whilst many fans will know the name Doink the Clown, many may not have as wide a knowledge of Dave the Clown, or Fukigen Death, or Pogo the Clown. In our third Halloween episode of the month we celebrate and review the clowns of wrestling, a tour that covers most of the world, and different decades ri...

SEASON 2 - EPISODE NINE - IWA King of the Deathmatch 1995

October 13, 2023 16:25 - 1 hour - 99.6 MB

SEASON TWO - EPISODE NINE - IWA King of the Deathmatch 1995 Can you consider one of the biggest tape trading wrestling events ever, considered my some to be the finest "Hardcore Wrestling" card, and featuring Mick Foley and Terry Funk, something worthy of being reviewed by Better Call Creative? Can you truly say that this show was a bad show? Well, don't ask us, ask Terry Funk and Cactus Jack who both have trashed their finals match! This card is a mix mash of the bizarre and down right weird...

October 06, 2023 16:15 - 2 hours - 116 MB

SEASON 2 - EPISODE EIGHT - Blood Runs Cold - Glacier On the back of our Invasion Arc we head into the month of October and a month full of the horrors of wrestling's past. We start with a podcast well overdue for one that focuses on the worst of wresting, as we check out Glacier and the Blood Runs Cold storyline! The brain child of Eric Bischoff at a time when the NWO was running roughshot over WCW, and Hollywood Hogan had been crowned the champion, Sting had headed to the rafters and WWF was...

September 10, 2023 11:52 - 1 hour - 96.8 MB

SEASON 2 - EPISODE SIX- Rebellion 2001 We are in the last legs of the Alliance angle now but before we can reach the peak and stick a flag in it, we take a quick detour to jolly old England! Manchester to be precise, as the WWF and the Alliance invade the UK for it's annual Rebellion ppv. Normally considered a C show, lower priority, this show would actually see the very first rematch of Rock v Austin and the second last ever Rock vs Austin ppv match ever! So was it a roaring success that per...

July 15, 2023 14:22 - 2 hours - 122 MB

SEASON TWO - Episode Two - Invasion 2001 We begin the first story arc of Season Two of Better Call Creative, and it is a huge story arc! We are reviewing the WWF vs. The Alliance, WWF vs WCW and ECW.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE ONE - King of the Ring 1994 We start a brand new season of episodes with Season 2 Episode One and well, how much does this show weigh? It is the infamous pay per view of King of the Ring 1994. Remembered mainly for the so bad it may be good commentary of Art Donovan, but is the ppv a dud because of it, inspite of it or as well as it? We will find out as we see the WWF launch it's New Generation Era officially with it's oldest ppv main event ever to this point, as well as th...

Episode Ninety Eight - No Mercy 1999 (UK)

May 10, 2023 17:08 - 1 hour - 82.9 MB

Episode Ninety Eight - No Mercy 1999 (UK) Very few things in wrestling remainly fairly rare. Nowadays wrestling storylines and angles tend to be rehashed versions of the old. Most wrestlers feel very much old hat after a year or so on a roster, but back in 1999 WWF did something fairly rare. That was to hold two pay per views called No Mercy, five months apart. One held in the UK and one held in the US, and featuring Triple H and Stone Cold in each main event, and Mideon...plenty of Mideon! W...

Episode Ninety Seven - Kurt Angle's Retirement

May 01, 2023 07:38 - 2 hours - 112 MB

Episode Ninety Seven - Kurt Angle's Retirement The most important memory someone has of you, is the last one. So they say, and so the way you retire a wrestling hall of famer can be just as important as the career they have had. Case in point, Kurt Angle. A grand slam champion in the WWF, one of the fastest rises to the top at a time where the WWF boasted talent like Austin, Rock and HHH. Then when his career in WWE dwindled down, he reinvented himself and grew the TNA brand! Not enough can b...

Episode Ninety Six - Wrestlemania 4 With Vince McMahon sitting this past Wrestlemania out, only to return like the dastardly villian he truly is, the debate will be long and hard about the quality of the booking decisions from Triple H.

The difficult sequel to the success of Hogan v Andre 1, this feautred a rematch of that epic contest, at Wrestlemania, but in the middle of a 14 Man To...

WRESTLECUP PODCAST - Worst Wrestlemania Main Event A few years ago we opened up our Wrestlecup episodes by crowning the worst Wrestlemania Match of all time!

March 31, 2023 19:23 - 2 hours - 118 MB

Episode Ninety Five - Booker T's Big Mania Moment It's Mania season once again and as fans we all love to talk about who will have this years Mania moment. From Daniel Bryan at Mania 30, to Austin's era beginning at Mania 14, there seems to be one Mania moment every Wrestlemania. At Wrestlemania 19 it seemed from the outside that the 5 time WCW Champion would become a first time WWE World Champion....it seemed that way to everyone, except Triple H! So how could WWE get this moment, soooo very...

Episode Ninety Three - ECW Champions in WWE In the mid 2000s, with no real competition to speak of WWE started a love affair with the ECW Brand.

Episode Ninety Two - TNA Against All Odds 2011

February 12, 2023 14:47 - 2 hours - 123 MB

Episode Ninety Two - TNA Against All Odds 2011 2011 was a strange and difficult time for TNA. Bischoff and Hogan had been with the company now a year and had given it a new look, pushed and tried different things, and we arrived in 2011 with little reward for the investment. So why not try to capture the magic of the Hogan heel turn and try to turn Hogan heel! Immortal had been born and was led by the ever babyface Jeff Hardy. Alongside this difficult to accept storyline, a much more personal...

Wrestlecup Episode - Worst Royal Rumble Winner For Wrestling fans, there can be very few more exciting times than that of Royal Rumble season. Here we are again with hopes of surprises, shocks and most importantly of all the right and correct winner ahead of wrestlemania. However that hasn't always been the case.

Episode Ninety - WCW Thunder Retrospective

January 11, 2023 19:24 - 2 hours - 148 MB

Episode Ninety - WCW Thunder Retrospective It is a strange thing beign a wrestling fan sometimes. Strangely something can be an utter disaster, unwanted and unwatched by fans and promoters alike during its original run, yet hold a fond place in the hearts of those who lived through it. Thunder is a little like that, one of the most requested shows on the WWE Network launch, its a show that had a very unique feel to it, by design of one Eric Bischoff. However Eric will tell you now that Thunde...

Wrestlecup Episode - Worst Starrcade Main Event

December 30, 2022 14:11 - 24 minutes - 22.1 MB

Wrestlecup Episode - Worst Starrcade Main Event To the wrestling fans at least, WCW's flagship PPV was always Starrcade. The longest ppv in wrestling history when still active, Starrcade had history, had legacy, and had its fair share of terrible main events. For every Flair versus Race, there was a Black Scorpion or a Battlebowl. What better way therefore to round out our month of December and our look back at Starrcade, then to hand out th wrestlecup for the worst ever Starrcade Main Event!...

Hulk Hogan's first ever Starrcade having burst onto the WCW scene in mid 1994, and with a whole new roster of talent to work on top with, who would be his opponant? Vader, the monster who was on the back on a mega main event the year before? Sting, the ultimate dream match for many fans.....

This year we celebrate the annual tradition with a special Starrcade month, and our opening episode see's us review the Black Scorpion angle leading to the main event of Starrcade 1990. When the guy who booked it admits he created the Black Scorpion with no plan or idea how, why or even who it was going to be, you can expect nothing but a disast...

Episode Eighty Seven - Survivor Series 2015 As WWE prepare to once again inject some life into the Survivor Series concept, we look back at one of the more forgettable Survivor Series from the past decade. A show dominated by a WWE Title Tournament, with little to no focus on the Survivor Series concept, and littered with many questionable booking decisions. It's Roman Reign's crowning evening, and yet...and yet. Head back to 2015 with the Better Call Creative boys as they celebrate the 25 ye...

Well let me assure you it did, massiv...
