The Old Bucks are joined by Gherkins Dunphy for a milestone episode as The Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show hits its 100th podcast — and the lads mark it with a listener-suggested deep dive into one of the most debated eras in wrestling history.Prompted by Ger from our Discord server, this episode looks back at the wrestlers who made the jump from WCW to WWE following the takeover. From headline names like Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sting, Goldberg, Ric Flair and Scott Steiner, to cruiserweights and mid-card staples like Rey Mysterio, Chavo Guerrero and Billy Kidman, the lads examine who benefited, who struggled, and why.There’s also discussion around the Invasion era, including Diamond Dallas Page and Booker T, how WWE presented former WCW stars, and whether the transition was ever handled fairly. One notable omission is Hugh Morrus — which, according to DDP logic, might not be a bad thing at all.A reflective, honest look at legacy, opportunity, and missed chances — and a fitting way to mark 100 episodes.Join the Discord and help shape future topics: https://discord.com/invite/rdBk3d4aH Hosted on Acast.
