2 hours ain't enough? Well, here's another 2 hours...PART 2 hours...eh? EH?

The best partner(s) to work together! Against each other in the most honest way possible : a 2:1 ratio of opinions to coinflips! I hope you like two part-ers!

Watch alongs are BACK! At least this one is, and dolphins better watch the fuck out this time.

A tournament to honor the most decorated wrestler of all time, "Vacant." 

Recorded back in March, this "misplaced" episode is all over the map. Plus, is Big Tim Gotch a Big Knicks Fan?

Big Tim Gotch came up with a game of Scattergories, ansd the rest a the Taters play along.

Part 2 and the exciting conclusion of these two things in a row!

In the first of a 2 part episode, 'Taters draft some of their favorite Wrestlers from the year of Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Seven.

All  your favorite stables featuring a BUNCH of names you know and love. And some singing. And detours.

In a 3 on 1 Handicap Match, Bone Saw deflects an onslaught of names of professional wrestlers on to a spectrum ranging from George "The Animal" Steele to Zack Sabre Jr. 

In the ring sometimes, wrestlers get pissed off at each other and things get real for a bit. Sometimes, there's an old score to settle And sometimes...well, sometimes New Jack wants to commit aggravated assault in front of a crowd.  Fight Link Start Antonio Inoki vs The Great Antonio https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CGzFDCnoH/?mibextid=wwXIfr Beginning The Great Sasuke vs Dirt Bike Kid https://youtu.be/b4LHgs7MI5g 1:00, but beating starts around 3:40 Skyscrapers vs Avalanche and Mike Blackwell https://youtu.be/xCaCNfVYyOM 0:30, but best stuff starts around 1:40 William Regal vs Goldberg https://youtu.be/fS4R_9MrtFY 1:00 Lesnar vs Strowman vs Kane https://youtu.be/g0EbjfWS-Ec 0:40 Saturn vs Mike Bell https://youtu.be/7duHE6yJQYI 2:15 Puder vs Angle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewQZR2ecN4U 0:30, then this: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8gudM6J/) Sid vs Pillman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stG6tW5iJbw Beginning Vader vs Shamrock https://youtu.be/B-Gmz-ajSzM 2:00 Mass Transit incident https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Bx4K5qgzS/?mibextid=wwXIfr Beginning New Jack vs Gypsy Joe https://rumble.com/embed/v2irnu0/ 3:00, but starts getting real ugly around 6:00 Akira Maeda vs Riki Choshu https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5etjhx 3:15   https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8gudM6J/  

The second part of this new and exciting feature, listen to the fellas get creative and book their hearts out with their previously drafted roster!

The Taters get REALLY SERIOUS in the first of a 2-pater, drafting  Pro Wrestlers active in the year of 1994 for part 2, where they'll come up with a card based on the roster they drafted. You know, NERD shit.

With it being kind of a heavy documentary at times, the Taters do their best to keep it light and talk about other stuff.  "The Resurrection of Jake the Snake" is Available for free on Tubi as of the posting date of this episode.

In this briefly misplaced episode; 16 Wrestlers, chosen by our staff, most of whom are underrated and a few of whom are appropriately rated! Somebody wins!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx2QGxpsY5E&t=8102s   Arsenio Hall. The UNDISPUTED late night champion of having pro wrestlers on his program and really getting the most out of them performance-wise and deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame. 

Is Billy Gunn in the top 200 wrestlers in the year of 1999? Does he go as high as #39? Is it even clear what the fuck I'm asking of you? All this, plus sports, after the break!

32 names....actually 34 names because two of 'em got disqualified right outta the gate. All the names you know, love and would expect to be in the running for the largest and most bloated, yet undeniably over and popular stable in the history of professional wrestling.

Success in professional wrestling's all about who you know, especially if you know the booker. With varying degrees of nepotism, from getting that initial break, to a little extra time to stick around in the spotlight, all the way down to "Jesus Christ, you've clearly taken the spot of someone far more deserving," the Taters are having at it!

You're only a rookie once...unless you get a new gimmick. So I guess you can be a rookie twice then...unless you get another new gimmick....anyway, best first year as a new player or with a new gimmick, the Tate's show up with their favorite names.

12 favorites, probably another 10-20 honorable mentions, and not much of a shock as a the 'Taters reach their first unanimous number 1 in their "best of" format.

A tournament featuring a lot of cities you'd expect, and a few that you don't. Plus some crazy side matchups like Tony Schiavone vs Mike Adamle and Jackets vs Robes and Nu Naytch vs Honky Tonk Gotch!

Welp, it started out as 18 Good People/Nice Guys, but by the end of the episode almost no one is redeemable. Don't meet your heroes, or even talk about them for that matter.

Their specific Pay-Per-View events they they can remember being at, or watching, or remember hearing about!

Not just theme songs, not just wrestlers in bands, not just bands about wrestling, not just wrestling about bands, not just bands in the ring. Ok, I'm done.

Some were expected, some were shocking, some broke hearts. Plus,  the final few outs of a Phillies NLDS loss!

David Arquette AAANNNND Oliver Platt in the same movie?!?!?! The answer is YES.

...though the episode should be called The Worst Humans, because barring a few examples, there's a lot of god-awful people in this one.

This one got heated at points, some in agreement and some in disagreement. But mostly, Tim was difficult. Enjoy!

What's poppin'? The crowds are, for each of these 10 big crowd pops across time and promotions.  Hopefully you pop too! Like get excited and make noise about it, not in the gross way that you're thinking. Grow up.

Here's a list of a bunch of very poor decisions made by a a few VERY rich dudes made by a few mostly poor dudes who make rich decisions. https://linktr.ee/bakedpotatoespod

Taters talkin' IC Champs, and the ridiculous beginnings from which the belt came and the various controversies surrounding it!

In an episode that lacks ZERO irony, The Taters "borrow" another video from CultaholicWrestling that exposes some big time names unlawfully stealing some big time gimmicks   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUWezjCTRck&t=34s

These video lives up to its title and then some, and the Taters have a few good laughs at some awful things said by some awful people. Unrelated, Tony Shalhoub gets a bit more time in the spotlight.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M_wFdQI67s&t=133s

Pretty much as the title describes, it's a bunch of tweets from wrestlers. Some are silly, some are cheeky, some are horrifying but all are funny.   https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/1ji2frr/what_is_your_favorite_wrestling_tweet/?share_id=ijVjnly_P87Tk_tGckz0c&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1&rdt=52489

The Potatoes dug up the 1989 Hulk Hogan vehicle "No Hold Barred" (AVAILABLE FOR FREE ON TUBI) and watched it for you, but feel free to watch it on your own. I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life.

https://youtu.be/bDX_u1nCz7s?si=FFYEHOHA-j_tpQcZ   It's pretty simple;  10 men enter intermittently and beat the bejesus out of eachother!!!!! Also, a surprising amount of Mario Kart talk

In a lead up to the next watch-a-long, the Taters discuss the history of the arguably the best cross promotion feud of Ring of Honor vs Combat Zone Wrestling which culminated in a Cage of Death match to decide the winner. *Some audio issues are present, Charlie sounds like he's in a tin can for half of it, there's some external environmental noises and some whistling and a bit of crackling. We issue our most "sincere" and "genuine" "apologies" and "hope" you can hang in there*
