Joe versus the World #91: WWF 1997, Part 4 (04/22/2021)

Joe vs. the World returns to celebrate it’s 15th Anniversary! Joe and Justin Shapiro reunite to finish looking back at 1997 WWF, which means we cover…[checks notes]…Montreal. Yikes. Still, we also look at the first Hell in a Cell, it’s gotta be the debut of Kane, Vince hassles a widow, the formation of the New Age Outlaws, Rick Rude making the rounds, and oh so much more. Two plus hours of info and laughs! Whether you listened 15 years ago or this is your first episode, thank YOU!

[powerpress]

It’s a Christmas Miracle! Joe Gagne and Justin Shapiro return to recap some 1997 WWF (well, once Justin remembers who Joe is). A lot to cover in this episode, including backstage fights, Steve Austin gets crippled, Kane is (eventually) coming, a Sid eulogy, Michael Cole: voice of a generation, light heavyweight inaction, Gang Warz, failed contests, and much much more! 90 minutes of pulse pounding audio

List ‘Em and Learn Episode 12 – Yearly Beloved

It’s a new year but the gang at thecubsfan.com is up to the same old tricks. This time, they all gather for a very special edition of “List Em and Learn,” as Matt is joined by his two dads, Justin and Joe. J&J Security tell Matt what’s what, and teach him what the meaning of New Years is really all about as they count down the top 10 best years in WWE history. They all like matches, so some of them say that matches make a year good. Some of them even like interviews and angles too. Which years will come out on top? Will it be 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, or 2015? Yes, it will be some of those years. One thing these years all have in common is that they all contain the month of June. They have other things in common too, and Matt, Joe, and Justin will talk about all of them on this very special episode! It’s a very special episode, so check it out!

JUSTIN SHAPIRSHOW Episode 19 – Chaired Conference, Tabled Discussion

TLC is an American girl group whose repertoire spans R&B[3] hip hop,[1] funk and “urban” soul.[2] TLC was originally composed of lead singer Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, rapper Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes and singer Crystal Jones. Jones was replaced by Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas in 1991; whilst Lopes died (and was subsequently not replaced) in 2002. The group was very successful in the 1990s and early 2000s in spite of numerous spats with the law, each other, and the group’s record label and management.
