Episode 18 - Badd Blood: In Your House - October 5, 1997

This podcast’s namesake match is the star attraction, as the WWF takes to St. Louis, Missouri, a city ripe with wrestling history. The creative team fumbles with tragedy after the same-day death of Brian Pillman and several matches are thrown together as a result. The Nation of Domination battle the Legion of Doom in a handicap match, while the Head Bangers and the Godwinns battle for who is more disgusting. The gang discusses why tournaments are good and Austin is great as the Intercontinental Title tournament ends with a bang and a whimper. Team USA and Team Canada answer the question, “What if a flag match didn’t involve flags?” And Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker achieve perfection inside and outside Hell in a Cell. All this, PLUS, Aaron and Eric settle the question of who makes a better bloody mary. CW: While reviewing the Brian Pillman/Marlena angle that led up to this pay-per-view, rape is discussed.Theme song “There Are Traitors in Our Midst” by Disco VietnamArt by Alexis YavneAaron’s Recipe:Fill a highball glass with ice.
