Episode 30: NWA Starrcade ’89 “Future Shock” – The Watch-Along

Play episode


It’s the Grenade’s FINAL Watch-Along of the NWA in 1989. A bittersweet farewell to the Watch-Along genre on the WWE Network as they migrate over to Peacock. Ray & Steve come at you one last time here in 1989 with the Starrcade ’89 PPV, featuring TWO Round Robin style tournaments to determine the Singles Wrestler and Tag Team of the 1990s as they prove to be “Ironmen”. It’s Sting, Flair, Luger, Muta, the Steiners, the Roadies, Doom, and the Samoans all biding for the top of their respective divisions.

Kick back and enjoy the penultimate episode of the NWA ’89 Grenade series as we call the action of the PPV, talk backstories leading in, the misuse of Doom and Muta, the bait and switch of the Skyscrapers and the Samoans, we fantasy book our own Starrcade event to conclude the year, as well as discuss what we would do to alter the tournament results and future booking plans of the NWA heading into 1990.
