Shawn Michaels forfeited the WWF Title, saying he needed to "find" his smile

Bob Bamber is joined by Erick Landstrom and Bryan Barrera to discuss the WCW action from Superbrawl and three bizarre segments from Nitro. After the PPV, we look at the heel turn of Randy Savage and the possibility of *another* two hour live weekly TV show.

Rory McNamara is joined by Bob Bamber and Craig Wilson reviewing Shawn Michaels forfeiting the WWF title, two further title changes, the In Your House: Final Four pay per view and the lay of the land on the road to Wrestlemania.

Bob Bamber is joined by Del Muir and Pete Kimber reviewing ECW Cyberslam, in a month that included possibly the greatest finish ever to a wrestling match, New Jack doing something stupid and a typically barmy pair of tables and ladders matches with the Eliminators and the team of Sabu and Rob Van Dam.

Chris White is joined by Bob Bamber and Tom Martyn to review UFC 12. Hear the crazy story of how the show was moved across the country on THIRTY SIX HOURS notice, before we review the first UFC show with weight classes, the debut of a certain Vitor Belfort and the showdown between Mark Coleman and Dan Severn for the UFC Championship.
