In the newest episode of the SCTM, we continue with our look at 2010 TNA with Destination X 2010. In this PPV we get a great four-way ladder match, a Destination X match between The Motor City Machine Guns and the (not) Young Bucks, and the funniest ending of a Main Event of all-time according to Greg and Dane!
Feel the power of the Hulkster's HOF Ring, Brother!

Mike's birthday happened earlier in the week. As is tradition around these parts, during birthday time, each host picks an episode they want to cover as their Money in the Bank. Mike chose this cartoon which was critical of the times in the 70s during season 1, but reverted to an animated sitcom with no controversial bite in subsequent seasons.

They’re beautiful. They’re talented. They’re poised. They’re competing on a grand stage for $10,000 and the title of Miss… Dog. FOX arrives with another idea where one didn’t exist, only for it to be neutered after one go.

Greg and Dane return to the WWE Vault channel for this episode of the SCTM as they review the 1994 Coliseum Video "Wham Bam Bodyslam!" We get some goodies from the New Generation Era in the WWF, including a Bret vs. Owen lumberjack match where we get chaos! We also have a banger between Alundra Blayze and Bull Nakano for the WWF Women's Championship, along with Doink and Dink clowning around at Titan Tower. BTW, boy did Pat Patterson let himself go!

Usually, we don't cover shows that ran for more than two seasons. An exception was made not because this was bad but rather the plethora of changes which arose, primarily with talent wanting raises. Despite that, What's Happening Now!! actually had a longer run than the original series.

We're a little late to the 100th birthday celebration of Leslie Nielsen. Surely, you'll forgive us. (And don't call us Shirley.)
After the success of Airplane!, its producers brought a show with similar humor to the small screen with Police Squad! The show was not a success for several reasons, but it was loved so much that it spun off into four movies over the last 40 years.

Our tribute for Joe Garagiola's birthday takes us back almost 4 decades, to a show that has been forgotten, for good reason. Kline and Friends' second endeavor was not good, though we know one way a current generation could have gotten into it: #nobanditnobandit. (We have had a little too much fun with that lately.)
