About this episode

A special look at the history and impact of World Championship Wrestling in the pro wrestling landscape.

John Orlando from the PVDCast and Gerald Glassford from the Pop Culture Cosmos climb back into the ring for this special look at pro wrestling history with one of the most famous (or infamous) organizations ever in World Championship Wrestling. Check in as the guys go over the bright spots and low spots, the highs and lows, and the good and bad from the memories of what at one time was the #2 wrestling company behind WWE, and for 83 weeks, even surpassing the corporate giant in the ratings battle of the Monday Night Wars. They go over the most memorable matches and events from WCW as they evolved (and devolved) from their beginnings, taking over the NWA and Jim Crockett Promotions to their demise and subsequent swallowing up by Vince McMahon in the early 2000s. It's a classic pro wrestling look at one of the most memorable times ever for hardcore wrestling fans, as John Orlando and Gerald Glassford take a look back at WCW on a special State of Pro Wrestling on the PCC Multiverse!
