20 APR 2024 · SEASON 2 - EPISODE 27 - Bastion Booger Some gimmicks are destined to succeed, think The Wyatt Family, The NWO, The Ultimate Warrior...others...not so much! Mike Shaw found this out time and time and time...and time again throughout his some 3 decade career. Beginning in Canada, travelling to Mexico, and having ppv matches for both WCW and WWF, it is fair to say that Mike Shaw mad the most of his wrestling career. Not the most agile of big men, but a big man nonetheless, he would go through some of the most bizarre gimmicks in wrestling, and become famous for one in particular. From Mahkan Singh, to Norm the Lunatic, Friar Ferguson, and final...Bastion Booger! We are here to review and look back fondly at them all as we celebrate Mike Shaw and his amazing contribution to Wrestling! You'd Better Call Creative a few times on this one!

10 APR 2024 · Wrestlemania XI -  When you have a legacy now at 40, you would be hard pushed to hit a home run every year. For every Wrestlemania 17 there is a Wrestlemania 9, for every Wrestlemania 20 there is a Wrestlemania 32....but one without comparasion may just be Wrestlemania XI. A Wrestlemania where it very much felt that wrestling got in the way, a Wrestlemania headlined by Football versus Wrestling, on a wrestling show, where wrestling.....lost! That though is just part of the story, as top stars Bret Hart and The Undertaker have arguably their worst Mania matches ever.  This is a Wrestlemania that stands out for all the wrong reasons, and we are here for it! It's Wrestlemania XI and somebody had very much better call creative!

20 MAR 2024 · SEASON 2 - EPISODE TWENTY FOUR- Fastlane 2017 March now is the road to wrestlemania and in 2017 the WWE presented Fastlane, a pay per view one month ahead of Wrestlemania. A raw exclusive ppv this show would be headlined by Kevin Owens, the universal champion, fresh off turning on his Best Friend Chris Jericho, the Owens Show was the hottest heel, and on a sure fire fastlane to Wrestlemania. However on the road to wrestlemania was a huge bump in the road named....GOLDBERG! The return of Goldberg at Survivor Series had been a huge success, so could he follow that up by taking the title from Kevin Owens! Who booked this!! Somebody had Better Call Creative!!

6 MAR 2024 · SEASON 2 - EPISODE TWENTY THREE - XPW Baptised in Blood III Here on Better Call Creative, we always celebrate birthday's differently. This year the power is going to be shared around. Jack celebrates his birthday in our first birthday episode, and with the power, he chooses a company we have yet to visit...XPW.

28 FEB 2024 · SEASON 2 - EPISODE TWENTY TWO - Elimination Chamber 2015 A new concept in wrestling is difficult to come up with. In 2002 on the back of the attitude era and the death of any real competition, the WWE created the Elimination Chamber. Four chambers, six competitors and a whole new way of deciding titles, contenders and feuds. Like any concept be it the Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, Ladder Matches and the like, there will always be ups and downs. By 2015 the Chamber had its own ppv, but strangely this ppv had been moved to May, and with no real need for elimination chamber matches that year, the decision was made to throw in the IC and Tag Team Titles. A chamber event with the Los Matadores, Ryback, Prime Time Players all popping out the pods was always going to be a hard sell, but man oh man, we haven't scratched the surfce of this awful event! Somebody had Better Call Creative!

21 FEB 2024 · SEASON 2 - EPISODE TWENTY ONE - Uncensored 1995 Oh 1995 what a terrible year you were! Well at least in wrestling terms it was, WWF was struggling to find a new direction with a New Champion in Diesel, but over in WCW despite having hold of the two biggest names in Wrestling, they were putting out pay per views like Uncensored! A show that featured a wrestling match on the back of a truck, a boxer versus wrestler contest, the most bizarre martial arts style match, and a main event strap match which features Ric Flair in drag....it's fair to say we may have found the worst of wrestling's past! So join us as we try and digest this crazy show, and reimagine what the show could have been!

14 FEB 2024 · SEASON 2 - EPISODE TWENTY- Wrestling Weddings Love is in the air this valentines day as Better Call Creative celebrate the truest way one can express their love in the world of wrestling, a wrestling wedding! Since the early 80s it seems that wrestling and weddings have gone together like a horse and carriage as the old song says! From Butcher Vachon and the wild antics of Captain Lou Albano, to Rusev jumping out of a giant wedding cake. As many Wedding Crashers as I Do's, its fair to say a wrestling wedding is never dull, so take your seat as part of our wedding party, and lets all raise a toast to the happy couple of Wrestling and Weddings!

1 FEB 2024 · SEASON 2 - EPISODE NINETEEN - WCW Sin Going into 2001, WCW was on life support. On the back of a terrible year creatively, and financially, with a series of bookers coming and going, it's fair to say optimism wasn't high. A rebrand of the ppv schedule was designed, around the seven deadly sins. The launch for this concept was the ppv named Sin, and it would feature a fatal four way main event with Scott Steiner defending his title against stable mate Jeff Jarratt, Sid Vicious and WCW's president choice....well that was the mystery hook! The main event, will live in wrestling history, for a terrible terrible injury....however, we aren't here for that, we are here for the mystery! Creatively this show is awful, but you'll have to listen to find out why! You'd Better Call Creative i guess!

27 JAN 2024 · SEASON 2 - EPISODE EIGHTEEN - Royal Rumble 1999 Timing in life is everything isn't it. Given the terrible revelations and at the time of publishing, allegations about Vince McMahon, it is somewhat poorly timed that we would release a podcast looking back at his Royal Rumble win. However, creatively this show is a show that has performed poorly against the now lengthy Royal Rumble history. A Royal Rumble built around the biggest storyline in wrestling possibly ever in Austin v McMahon, and the collatoral damage seemingly was the rest of the roster. The Attitude Era was built around big brash characters, but some characters shine brighter than others, and on this show, only two stars shone brightly. Oh and we haven't got to Mankind taking seven unprotected chair shots to the head. This, unfortunately is not a Rumble to Remember.
