Sup, Bubba?!
The lights are bright in Topeka, Kansas, and the madness is running wild, brother! On this episode of The Bubba Cast, we’re rolling the tape back to WWF Saturday Night’s Main Event from November 25, 1989 — a night packed with larger-than-life promos, poetic villains, and good ole fashioned wrasslin'. 
Ultimate Warrior tries to chop down Andre the Giant in a battle of power versus pure chaos. Dusty Rhodes teaches the Big Boss Man what “justice for all” really means (with a little help from Sapphire). Hulk Hogan locks up with The Genius in a match that’s equal parts poetry, pageantry, and property damage — thanks to Mr. Perfect’s “improvements” to the WWF Championship belt.
From the Brain Busters’ last stand to the Rockers flying high, this episode has it all — drama, damage, and the nonsense that made late-80s wrestling unforgettable.

In this week’s Bubba Cast, Lacy and Zerpie step back into the smoke-filled chaos of WCW Halloween Havoc ’94 — a night when The Guardian Angel stood tall against Vader in Detroit’s Joe Louis Arena.
With Harley Race scheming at ringside and 14,000 fans roaring, Ray brought the fight of his life — further proof that no matter the badge or the uniform, you can’t take the fight out of a Traylor.
 
We’ll revisit the wild card bouts, the over-the-top entrances, and the steel cage main event that pitted Hulk Hogan against Ric Flair in one of WCW’s most memorable nights.

Sup, Bubba?! On this episode of The Bubba Cast, we fire up the time machine and head back to Orlando, Florida, for WCW Monday Nitro, July 15th, 1996 — just one week after Hulk Hogan shocked the world and formed the nWo at Bash at the Beach.
From the MGM Studios entrance gates to the ring chaos, this night had it all: The Steiner Brothers battling Fire & Ice, Harlem Heat defending the gold, Medusa keeping the women’s division alive, and technical clinics from Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, and Chris Benoit. But the story overshadowing it all? The Outsiders lurking, Hogan’s venomous words, and the nWo staking their claim on WCW.
And right in the middle of the storm — Big Bubba Rogers steps into the main event against a banged-up Lex Luger. Bubba promises to end Luger once and for all, but when the New World Order crashes the party, even Bubba finds out no one is safe.
If you love Monday Night Wars nostalgia, legendary promos, and stories that connect the action inside the ring to the legacies outside of it, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Sup, Bubba?! On this episode of The Bubba Cast, at SummerSlam ’91, law and order was on the line when Big Boss Man battled The Mountie in the infamous Jailhouse Match — with the loser spending a night behind bars. We dive deep into the red vs. blue clash, the Alabama Slam finish, and the unforgettable scenes of The Mountie being dragged away, fingerprinted, and tossed in a New York City cell.
Along the way, we touch on Bret Hart’s Intercontinental Championship classic against Mr. Perfect, Virgil’s upset win over Ted DiBiase, the Legion of Doom’s street fight title victory, and the headline wedding of Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth.
But make no mistake — the heart of this episode is Boss Man serving justice, Southern style.

The Mega Powers Explode? WWF The Main Event II (1989)On this episode of The Bubba Cast, we’re going back to February 3, 1989, when the WWF put the Mega Powers to the test at The Main Event II. Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage faced off against the Twin Towers—Big Boss Man and Akeem—in one of the most chaotic tag team matches of the era. From Miss Elizabeth being handcuffed and knocked unconscious, to Hogan abandoning the match for her, to Macho Man’s simmering jealousy boiling over, this night marked the beginning of the end for the Mega Powers.
We’ll break down the action, the drama, and the storytelling that made this night unforgettable—including Boss Man’s menacing presence, Jesse Ventura’s heel commentary gems, and the infamous post-match explosion between Savage and Hogan.

We’re talking Harley Race interference, mask-ripping, top rope splashes, and more “did-that-just-happen?” moments than you can count. Since this episode isn't available on Streaming platforms, Zerpie had to dig deep into the VHS recording archives for this one—complete with all the build-up from Fall Brawl, the bizarre subplots only WCW could pull off, and why this match is a hidden gem in Bubba’s ring career.(Shoot over an email to supbubbapodcast@gmail.com if you want a copy of this archived episode)
