No longer is PROGRESS just dipping their toes into story-based wrestling; they are all in with this chapter. Chapter 10 is a landmark show for the company, for so many reasons. We got the finals of the Natural Progression Se…

Let's get EXTREME.....ly absurd with this episode. The first "Extreme Championship Wrestling" event ever is here, and what a time capsule to get into. We got a blind Sandman, Dean Malenko chloroforming his opponent, and the …
No fans for the Rumble? No problem! Kinda. Top to bottom, a great wrestling show, and one of, if not THE best PPV of the COVID Era. Bianca and Edge get their moments, golf carts become controversial, and it's......it's Chris…
WAR GAMES! We don't actually get to hear William Regal say those iconic words on this event, but we do get him in a powdered wig so...that's something? In addition to that, we have a hilariously exhausting promo/phone call b…
You read the title, and you probably thought "Hmm, I guess this is the show where Kurt Angle won the title, but what else happened?". Admittedly, I had the same thought before watching this show, but there turned out to be a…
Have you been itching to do a deep-dive into Trytan? Or "The Outlaw" Billy Gunn? Or the battle to become the secretary of Dusty Rhodes? No? WELL THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GETTING WITH THIS EPISODE. Destination X 2005 is a classic r…
Bonus Episode! The year of 2020 was a crazy one for everybody, and the wrestling industry was no different. This year gave us so much to think about and enjoy in the world of wrestling, and we have a great group of guys to d…

My guests for this episode called this the "true start" of PROGRESS, and taking everything that happened on this show, I believe them. Ross and Matt from the "Wrestling Should Be Fun" Podcast join me today; to provide some a…

A landmark show for the company of Ring of Honor, and a landmark episode of The Apron Bump! As always, watching 2002 ROH is quite the experience; we get to take a journey through some of ROH's growing pains, while also getti…
The "Invasion" is firmly underway, and we're starting to see some of ridiculousness that this storyline brought to the audience. It's becoming progressively more clear that we're not getting Goldberg, or Hogan, or Flair, or …

Hopping across the pond once again for some UK wrasslin'! PROGRESS never fails to deliver great shows, and Chapters 7-8 are no exception. Two PROGRESS Title matches, a brutal hardcore match with Jimmy Havoc, and legendary ap…
This episode is so hot, it’s scary!!! The year of 1994 is widely perceived as a down year for wrestling; and by many metrics, it is. However, the Summer of 94 sees so many impactful seeds being planted: Hogan debuting in WCW…

Best Hell in a Cell PPV of all time. So much to dig into. Three Cell matches, but each with their own identity; and that's what made this show such a success. We of course go over all the matches but I expand into topics I h…
What a wacky one this episode is! A few road bumps in this one but it all fits into the theme of the Invasion and what a fumbling that was for WWF. Although, was it really bad? Or just bad timing? Did WWF actually carry this…
WCW in 1994, what a spectacle. And not in a good way. But definitely in a car-crash entertaining way. We got Sting vs Vader for the International World Title that Rick Rude had to vacate due to injury, another insane street …
There may not be anything more fun than watching peak TNA; and that's what we got for ya today! We'll (attempt to) ignore the nonsense with Johnny Fairplay and focus on some of the gold we're given on this show: A classic ma…
Art Donovan. Do you need any more reason to listen to this episode or watch this show? Well, you shouldn't; but King of the Ring 1994 also is the official beginning of the New Generation Era, contains the best 5 minute match…
