Butts in the Seats Podcast

by Nick and Emily
Citizen Cat (2/26/2026 Nitro)
Explicit
Episode 163: It's Pardi Gras down in New Orleans and WCW proceeds to absolutely nothing with that concept. Instead, we get a 2-minute 3 Count feud blowoff, the worst rated Nitro main event in history and mercifully the return of a former WCW Champion
A Man of Many Costumes (2/19/2001 Nitro)
Explicit
Episode 162: We're headed towards the final WCW PPV so it makes sense to start with another funeral. Jeff Jarrett gets to test his impression skills, Kanyon makes a dramatic entrance and Buff Bagwell and the Cat do mostly nothing for six minutes but it technically counts as a wrestling match.
SuperBrawl Revenge (2001)
Explicit
Episode 161: It's WCW's penultimate PPV and boy are they phoning this one in. Yang has a particularly bad day, Hugh Morrus supposedly snaps, DDP pulls sudden double duty and Kevin Nash gives us a memorable gif of his way out.
Vulnerable Knees (2/12/2001 Nitro)
Explicit
Episode 160: We're 6 days from SuperBrawl and somehow WCW pulled off a show that wasn't completely terrible. It's amazing how much better the show is with a couple of decent matches and some logical stories. The main event does end in a mess still, but you should really be used to that by now.

Taking Steiner to Bangtown (2/5/2001 Nitro)
Explicit
Episode 159: What's better that 1 Scott Steiner match? 3 Scott Steiner matches of course! We also get an actually refreshing return right before one of the strangest and laziest time limit draws we've ever seen.
One Last Dream (1/29/2001 Nitro)
Explicit
Episode 158: Ric Flair has a hot new signing and the signing even brougt his dad along, Kevin Nash has to re-earn his title shot, DDP gets arrested and we get a deflating last appearance from one of our faves.
Reimbursed for a Dime (1/23/2001 Nitro)
Explicit
Episode 157: There's only 10 Nitros left but we're still losing our minds over here. Kevin Nash has supposedly the biggest match of his career; The war between Team Canada and the Filthy Animals in less time that it takes to cook stovetop ramen; General Rection changes his name again and we finally notice that Lex Luger is actually quite bad at wrestling.
A Particularly Disrespectful Backflip (1/15/2001 Nitro)
Explicit
Episode 156: Goldberg is gone, Sid is horrifically injured and the show is overrun with obnoxious heels. Sounds like it's gonna be great and not potentially the worst Nitro of all time...
WCW Sin
Explicit
Episode 155: We've finally made it to WCW Sin and Emily has not forgotten the horrors that await, though somehow the thing that gets her most riled up is Lex Luger's liberal use of the word "Daddio". Also, Ric Flair's mystety man will be revealed and will totally live up to the hype and turn this company around.
Randomly Selected Opponents (1/8/2001 Nitro)
Explicit
Episode 154: It's the first Nitro of 2001 and it's also the go-home show for Sin. Back from 2 weeks off and a PPV to sell, this show attempts to speed through every story it has and in the process creates one of the most convoluted match set-ups and actual match itself, plus there's still Ric Flair's mystery man waiting in the wings.
