WWF King of the Ring 2001

You don't know how strong glass can be until you watch King of the Ring 2001. Concussions, broken necks, broken backs, broken tailbones, and broken hands aside.....this was an amazing show. And yes, all of those injuries ACT…

AEW All Out 2020 Review

A very noteworthy show in the history of AEW…good and bad. We got to see great tag team wrestling, a horrific table spot, and that no one in AEW knows what mimosas look like. Great wrestling, but unfortunately hindered by th…

PROGRESS Wrestling: Chapters 5-6

Time to....PROGRESS in these chapters! (How many times can I make that joke?). This edition of PROGRESS covers Chapters 5 and 6; two chapters filled with violence, absurdity, and some good-natured tag team wrestling. Oh, and…

WCW Spring Stampede 1994

Listen to a guy who has NEVER watched WCW start his journey with Spring Stampede 1994. Did you guys know that Stone Cold wrestled Great Muta? I do now. And it was hilariously disappointing. This show had so many car crash mo…

ROH Round Robin Challenge 2002

The second ever show for ROH. Dragon. Daniels. Ki. Three awesome matches to see who the best in Ring of Honor is. Although there is no title yet, the journey is absolutely entertaining. That entertainment manifests through s…

WWF Judgment Day 2001

Who doesn’t love a good ol’ Attitude Era PPV review? I know I do. I have ZERO relocation of this show and that makes this episode all the more enjoyable; like watching it for the first time. And a very polarizing DJ Storms i…

PROGRESS Wrestling: An Introduction - Chapters 1-4

Let’s listen to a dumb American discuss a UK-based wrestling promotion! In all serious though, PROGRESS is a promotion that I’ve loosely followed in the past, have heard amazing things, and now I’m diving in headfirst with C…

Grinding My Gears: Match Psychology

Do you hate it when 8 guys (who are all fighting each other) hug together on the floor, just so someone else can jump on top of them? Me too. That's the type of stuff we get into in this episode. High flyers, powerhouses, he…

WWF Wrestlemania X

Overall, not a strong show, but an incredibly interesting time capsule to open. Bret and Owen had arguably one of the greatest matches of all-time, the first ever ladder match occurs, and Fink has hair. Through the good and …

Grinding My Gears: Commentary

Boy oh boy, this is a topic than I know all of you can get behind. Commentary has always had it's quirks and it's downright detrimental qualities to it. From modern day, all the way back to when mics were first utilized in w…

WWE Backlash 2020 Review

A show that I believe exceeded everyone's expectations. THE GREATEST WRESTLING MATCH EVER. Was it? No. And here's why. PS: Panic at the Disco sucks

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 Review

Overall, the best show so far of the Rona Era. Some very good rasslin but was hindered by a lackluster build and some directionless characters. We get into each match and discuss the future of these stars...some are promisin…

ROH An Era of Honor Begins 2002

Let's revisit ROH's first ever show....the journey begins. The year of 2002 was a strange time, both in wrestling and in the world in general; and that is very much exemplified here by ROH's inaugural event: An Era Of Honor …

WWF Wrestlemania 17

WWE Money in the Bank 2020 Review

CLIMB THE CORPORATE LADDER etc etc whatever. What a crazy, unique show. So much to get into. MITB Match was hilarious, Drew vs. Seth was great, Bayley is amazing, and Brother Love was.....there....for some reason.

Pet peeves in wrestling. There are too many for just one episode. So this week, we rip into the mind numbingly stupid concepts in regards to gimmick matches, build up to gimmick matches, and gimmick PPVs.

TNA Victory Road 2004

It's a new era in wrestling. TNA is out of the Asylum and into the Impact Zone with their FIRST EVER three hour PPV. They set the tone for a great run here at Victory Road 2004. TNA had some great aspects to it in this era..…

Is Nia Jax Unsafe?

Just wanted to get this subject out of the way lmao. Went longer than I expected, but there's so much to shit on Nia about, that it feels like you can just keep talking about it forever. I give my take on whether or not Nia …
