SHOT OF NOSTALGIA #1.14: WCW 1996 | JUN 17th & JUNE 24th MONDAY NITRO | OUTSIDERS WITH BASEBALL BATS

In episode 14 ACEFIELD RETRO returns with MIKE BELCASTER to discuss the JUNE 17th & the JUNE 24th episode of MONDAY NIGHT NITRO. We tune up that handy dandy time machine and head towards 1996 and read through the newsletter as it happened in real-time fresh off the fingertips of Uncle Dave Meltzer onto what had to be a typewriter or an early word processing computer. As always, this episode is sure to be an absolute blast with the main homie Belly to Belcaster. This is the GO HOME episode of NITRO before we head to BASH AT THE BEACH to find out who the THIRD MAN IS BROTHER! Will the Hogan heel turn to live up to the hype? We talk about KEVIN NASH & SCOTT HALL taking on the whole WCW roster with ALUMINUM BASEBALL BATS. HARLEM HEAT ends LEX LUGER & STING'S long TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP reign. WOW! Maybe you're not here for the WCW ride but you know we will entertain you along the way and keep you aware of everything going on. We are certain you will enjoy the process of us taking our drinks based on WCW BOOKING. 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 happenings in the wrestling world in 1996. We place it and compare it to 2022's wrestling landscape as well. Amazing conversation!
