    Season 3 Episode 2 - Royal Rumble 1995

    And Then The Bell Rang – Season 3, Episode 2: Royal Rumble 1995
    In Episode 2 of Season 3, And Then The Bell Rang turns its attention to one of the most unique and debated Royal Rumbles of the New Generation era as Dangerous Dave and Lex Lloydy revisit Royal Rumble 1995.
    Recorded at a time when World Wrestling Federation was searching for its next big identity, this event is remembered for its stripped-down roster, slow-burn pacing, and the bold experiment of having Shawn Michaels enter at number one and go the distance. Dave and Lex break down the psychology of the Rumble match itself, Shawn’s star-making performance, and the controversial finish that saw both Michaels and Bulldog eliminated simultaneously.
    The episode also dives into the rest of the card, including Bret Hart vs Diesel for the WWF Championship, the growing tension of the New Generation era, and how Royal Rumble ’95 reflects a company in transition — caught between the excesses of the past and the attitude of what was still to come.
    Was Royal Rumble 1995 quietly ahead of its time? Or does it deserve its reputation as one of the most divisive Rumbles ever?
    🔔 One ring, thirty men, and a turning point for the WWF — and then… the bell rang.

    Season 3 of And Then The Bell Rang kicks off with one of the most talked-about events in wrestling history as Dangerous Dave and Lex Lloydy revisit Starrcade 1997 — the night that was supposed to change everything for World Championship Wrestling.
    Billed as the biggest match in WCW history, the long-awaited showdown between Hollywood Hogan and Sting finally takes centre stage after over a year of build-up. The lads break down the hype, the atmosphere, and the unbelievable expectations surrounding the main event — before diving head-first into the controversy, confusion, and fallout that followed.
    Beyond the infamous finish, this episode looks at the full Starrcade 1997 card, including the white-hot WCW vs nWo storyline, standout performances, overlooked matches, and where this PPV sits in WCW’s rise toward its peak. Dave and Lex also debate whether Starrcade ’97 was a missed opportunity, a misunderstood classic, or the moment the cracks truly began to show.
    Packed with nostalgia, strong opinions, and classic Bell Rang banter, this episode asks the big question: Did Starrcade 1997 deliver… or did it ring in the beginning of the end?
    🔔 Relive the hype. Re-examine the chaos. And then… the bell rang.
