  <description>&lt;p&gt;In 1993, the World Wrestling Federation stepped into unknown territory, promising a weekly live broadcast that was “uncut, uncooked, and uncensored.” In the two years that followed, Monday nights became a bit more RAW…even before the looming threat of an explosive WCW show going head to head. Submitted for your approval, dear listener, is a podcast series that looks back on The Calm Before The War!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this first episode of The Calm Before The War, we take a brief look at the history of televised professional wrestling, with a particular focus on the impact of early WWE programming like Saturday Night’s Main Event and Prime Time Wrestling for better context of what paved the way for Monday Night RAW!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Opening/Closing Theme courtesy of Josh Innes of INNESX (@INNESX on &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/@innesx_" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/innesx_/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;, and elsewhere on the Internet!)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This series officially kicks off in January 2024, but for now enjoy the first look as a holiday gift from Occupy Pro Wrestling!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your support in 2023 and we'll see you in the new year! &lt;/p&gt;
