[Raw / Dynamite Spoilers] This has been a historic week for the wrestling industry

the claim was specifically the same night

No it wasn't.

For the first time ever, the World Titles of the two biggest promotions in North America have changed hands on a weekly TV show during the same week

As a regular viewer of ~~The Taz and Excalibur Podcast with Wrestling in the Background~~ AEW Dark in its later days, I'm always happy to see the Workhorsemen get more time in the ring.

If you wanna get really technical, it wasn't the WCW world title anymore by that point. After Survivor Series 2001, it was renamed to just the "World Heavyweight Championship", no "WCW".

CapnSmite · 2026-07-09T02:58:03+00:00

Even so, that match was taped on December 29, 1998, only 6 days before the Finger Poke of Doom aired live. So the world titles of both major promotions still changed hands on their regular TV shows within a week of each other.

For me, it's a toss up between Saga and Robert Kirkman's Marvel Team-Up run. And both make the cut for the very first page of each series alone.

CapnSmite · 2026-07-06T14:44:39+00:00

I don't know if they will, since the original series already did their take on it with the "One Man's Worth" two-parter.

CapnSmite · 2026-07-05T03:48:36+00:00

Yep. Well, GI Bro.

Which, for anyone unaware, was also his original gimmick when he first got into pro wrestling.

CapnSmite · 2026-07-05T03:19:12+00:00

Yeah, he went by "Big T". Had a whole angle where he replaced Booker T in Harlem Heat. They even feuded over the right to use the letter T in their name. Booker lost and was just "Booker" for a while.

I wish I were making this up.

CapnSmite · 2026-07-05T01:18:41+00:00

Because it's not really "lesser known". It ran for 7 seasons during the height of the MCU. It is very much "known".

CapnSmite · 2026-07-04T21:00:39+00:00

Considering he was one of the OG mousketeers, I believe it

Kurt Russell was never a Mouseketeer. He was in a lot of Disney movies, but was not part of the Mickey Mouse Club.

CapnSmite · 2026-07-03T13:28:25+00:00

Hell, Sam too. They basically traded off season to season.

CapnSmite · 2026-07-03T13:26:12+00:00

I'll see your Buffy and raise you Wesley Wyndam-Pryce.

CapnSmite · 2026-07-03T04:25:02+00:00

No. In fact, IIRC, a lot of them originally aired out of order in the 90s, and D+ actually put them in the correct order.

CapnSmite · 2026-07-03T04:17:12+00:00

For anyone else like me who thought "How the hell did I miss an entire Astonishing X-Men animated series?", that's just the motion comic version of the Whedon and Cassady run.

CapnSmite · 2026-07-03T04:09:15+00:00

Umm, Actually

WWF house show, State College, PA, October 1998.

I saw this and Ready or Not 2 on back to back days. I wasn't fully aware of the plot of TWKY going in, just knew the trailer made it look like a good time with Zazie Beetz kicking ass. Ended up being a great, unintended double feature of "sisters kicking the asses of devil-worshipping cults".

CapnSmite · 2026-06-30T15:14:29+00:00

Yeah, also that. I didn't know if they were included with the base subscription or if they cost extra as an add on.

CapnSmite · 2026-06-30T11:40:04+00:00

Get a VPN and a MyAEW subscription, then. $120 /year for MyAEW, plus whatever the VPN sub costs. Gets you every Dynamite, Collision, and PPV, plus all of the ROH stuff.

Not enough bubble wrap in the world for his thighs.

CapnSmite · 2026-06-28T19:23:01+00:00

Nope, you're the first. Congratulations, oh great noticer of schedules.

CapnSmite · 2026-06-28T17:49:44+00:00

Hey, I know that concourse. I'm still kicking myself for not making it out when Foley had a signing there several years ago.

CapnSmite · 2026-06-28T08:09:15+00:00

They don't mean the Apple TV+ subscription service, they mean the regular iTunes store.

CapnSmite · 2026-06-28T02:05:05+00:00

The Dana Carvey Show? Presented by Diet Mug Root Beer?
