Topics of discussion include: The WWF running their second UK-only PPV. Capital Carnage, featuring crazy promos from the McMahons, special ringside enforcer Vinnie Jones being A Hard Man, and evem some nudity. Jim Ross finding out about his mother’s death while in England, stressing him to such a degree that he suffered his second attack of Bell's Palsy during the PPV. Steve Austin getting \"crucified\" (symbolified?) by The Undertaker on a wild episode of Raw. AJPW and NJPW finishing off their annual tag league tours. The WCW vs. WWF promotional war ventures down to Mexico as WCW talent begin working at Arena Mexico just as WWF Super Astros launches on Univision in the U.S. Another WCW talent raid of ECW. Roller Jam taping their first shows, which feature quite a bit of pro wrestling influence. Nitro does major business at the Astrodome in Houston…and puts on one of the worst episodes of the show in its history. Terrible skits and short matches featuring horrendous booking abound on that Nitro, so yes, this is a definite MUST-LISTEN WCW section. This was a thoroughly entertaining show, so please take a listen!!!!
