Episode LXI: SummerSlam 1996
So its a couple of weeks late thanks to illness and forgetfulness but its finally here: the latest episode of The Conquistabores! Yep, as as the weather is on the turn its an obvious time to feel the heat of the summer with SummerSlam 1996! Yep, its a moody Shawn Michaels, lick-able pipes in a boiler room and more Sunny than you can shake a stick at. Is it a classic or is it a bit pants thanks to being in that weird crossover period between The Attitude Era and The New Generation? I'll tell you who'll have some thoughts about that and its Cam, Euan, Phil and Hot Sauce Geordie Al! I mean, thats not a surprise as its always them but still, lets go!

Episode LX: Royal Rumble 1988
Good Lord, its that most rare of beasts: a Conquistabores podcast that is actually the same one as one thats just happened in real life! Thats right, don't bother watching this year's Royal Rumble, get this podcast about a really old one listened! And bye old, I mean the very first in 1988! And, as an extra treat, will be having a bit of chat about another wrestling show that aired the very same night, the NWA Bunkhouse Stampede! Oh Lord, its going to be a belter, or as close to that as we can possibly provide. So, join Euan, Cam, Phil and Hot Sauce Geordie Alan Milburn as they try to figure out just what exactly is a bunkhouse, how it stampedes and why that didn't last when Rumbles are still very much Royal 30 odd years later!

Episode LIX: Survivor Series 2002
Due to a combination of sickness and outright forgetfulness its a Three Man Booth for the Conquistabores this week, which is perfect because this week we're looking at Survivor Series 2002! Where teams of three strive to...survive? And there isn't even a proper survivor series match on this one. But what we do have is the first ever Elimination Chamber match so, you know, swings and roundabouts and all that. So, join Cam, Euan and Hot Sauce Geordie Al as they break this one done, figure out how much steel is in the chamber and if this is a good show or not.

Episode LVIII: Halloween Havoc 1991
OH MY GOD ITS THE SPOOKIEST TIME OF THE YEAR which can only mean one thing; the most HORRIFIC and TERRIFYING pay per view event of ALL TIME. Maybe. But how many wrestling shows that you know of have a man being ELECTROCUTED live on air? How many have ACTUAL GHOULS on the ramp? And what about THE GREAT OZ, surely the most horrific thing in all of wrestling? There maybe some sarcasm in there, or maybe not? Who knows. I tell you who does know, thats the Conquistabores! And in the Mystery Machine this week are Phil, Cam, Euan and Hot Sauce Geordie Alan "No Basements" Milburn. Get ready to be SPOOKED!

Episode LVII: King of The Ring 1994
It's a week late, thanks to a move to university (insert gif of the bad guy ageing to a skeleton from The Last Crusade) but your latest Conquistabores has finally made it; we're going back to 1994 for King of The Ring! Yep, its the WWF New Generation, its Baltimore and its Art Donovan asking how much you weigh. Is that a bad thing? You'll certainly hear some opinions about that in this show, so pull up a throne next to Cam, Phil, Euan and Hot Sauce Geordie Alan Milburn and join the fun! Sorry, I won't type that again.

Episode LVI: SuperBrawl I
We're back on the PPV road and this week we're back to WCW in 1991. Now, whilst the boys have a great affinity for the early 90s, this isn't whats known as a great period for World Championship Wrasslin'. But this show will be a good one, right? You've got the Steiners on the card, Ric Flair versus Tatsuji Fujinami, a THUNDER DOME CAGE match? It must be a winner, right? Well, you can probably already guess the answer but regardless make sure to check it out with Euan, Cam, Phil and Hot Sauce Geordie Al and see just how far down the table it lands.

Episode LV: The True Lineage of The Royal Samovar Trophy
In what can only be described as one of the greatest feats of research in the history of Broadcast Journalism, The Conquistabores are proud to present to you The True Lineage of The Royal Samovar Trophy. Well, Hot Sauce Geordie Alan presents The True Lineage of The Royal Samovar Trophy because he did all the research. But you can't spell team without "random chat" so Cam, Phil and Euan also bring some research to the table around the topic of "Crap Wrestling Trophies". Yep, we're talking crappy tournaments with even crappier trophies given to wrestlers. And yes, it does involve late 90s WCW because of course it does.

Episode LIV: The Big Event
After back to back episodes based in London what better than a trip north of the border to...Canada? Yep, we're talking mid-eighties, we're talking Hulkamania, we're talking a baseball stadium! What could go wrong? Well, a fair bit but we're getting ahead of ourselves; join Hot Sauce Geordie Al, Euan, Phil and Cam as they dissect this bonkers show that was only available on VHS and drew a crowd of over 60 thousand. And crisps, there's a good bit of crisp chat as well. But mainly wrestling! Ish. Enjoy! As usual make sure to follow us on all the usual Twitters and Facebooks to get all the updates!

Episode LIII: NXT TakeOver London
This episode the Conquistabores stay in London, this time checking out NXT TakeOver London! Thats right, we're talking Finn Balor and Hug Era Bayley and loads of crowd chants and some other folk who are no longer with the company. Does this show from the NXT golden era still stand up? Or has the lustre now been lost somewhat since the heady days of 2016? And yes, despite Al's protests this does count as a retro show so lets go for it! So join Euan, Phil, Cam (mostly) and Geordie Al as they travel to the Old Smoke and check out the show. As usual make sure to follow us on all the usual Twitters and Facebooks to get all the updates!
