JN107 - Donald Trump Is A Wrestling Character
If Vince McMahon's deepest, most personal dreams had somehow come true, the Million Dollar Man would have been a good guy. He would have come out, waved money, ordered people around, made off-colour remarks and, ultimately, he would have been lauded as a hero. It didn't happen that way for Ted...

JN106: Roddy Piper Is Dead, Hulk Hogan May Never Die
Hulk Hogan is alive. Roddy Piper is dead. Hulk Hogan is bad. Roddy Piper is good. Hulk Hogan was in that movie where he plays basically Hulk Hogan but wearing blue. Roddy Piper was in a John Carpenter cult-classic B movie that Slavoj Zizek featured in one of his documentaries about film. Hulk…

JN105 - Finn Balor Is From Where We’re From
Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland. Just south of Dublin, it’s the birthplace of Finn Balor, Hozier and, most importantly, Jumping Nothing’s Cathal. Join us as we hear tales of his time in the community hall watching an 18-year-old Fergal Devitt crack open his head off a ladder in front of the world’s...

JN104 - A Day At The Wrestling
The team head to the pub in blitz-wracked Bethnal Green, London to get soused and prepare for an evening of traditional greasy grapple in storied York Hall, as former WWE stars, indie darlings and THE CURRENT IWGP HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION fly in to take on the best the locals have to offer in...

JN103: Daniel Bryan, We're Sorry
Daniel Bryan is finished. Injury has done for him for perhaps the final time. In this podcast, the team discuss whether this is their fault, and by extension your fault, for demanding so much of a preternaturally talented star. There's a wide-ranging discussion, from a 25-year-old 5'8" indie...

JN102 - We Know Nothing About: Lucha Underground
The Irish and the Mexicans have links that go deep, from our shared affection for the Olé Olé Olé football chant to the disproportionately large number of Mexican fast good outlets in Dublin considering its population of ~8 Mexican people. So it’s sure to be a joyful time when our team, renamed...

JN101 - Brock Lesnar Is A Carnival Freak, But That’s Okay
Brock Lesnar doesn’t seem like he enjoys wrestling all that much - but that doesn’t matter, because he is incredible at it. In the first episode of the new series of Jumping Nothing, Karl and Michael are joined in their new studio (...not apartment) by new addition Cathal, recruited for his...

JN015 - JN015 - The Opinions You Have On Bret Hart Are Wrong, You Idiot
Bret Hart is the greatest professional wrestler of all time - this is a topic on which even implacable enemies Karl and Michael can agree. As a result, this episode is something of a celebration.

JN014 - Wrestling Fandom Is A Woe-Filled Morass of Desperation

AJ Styles stealing Devitt's family, Michael Elgin being cube-shaped, Okada not understanding English and Ligeruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu - it's NJPW vs ROH.

JN012 - CM Punk Is Not The Greatest Of All Time
Punk was the best in the world, but now Punk is dead. It’s not uncommon for professional wrestlers to brag - it’s necessary, even, in many cases. And a long line of arrogant young men have claimed the title of world’s best for themselves over the past several decades. But it only starts to matter...
-
JN011 - Wrestling Isn't Worth Your Time
Thought we'd stopped watching wrestling forever? Well, we had. After the disappointment of the Royal Rumble, Karl and Michael left the WWE Universe via wormhole and devoted themselves more fully to their hobbies - reading Gawker and studying the Elder Scrolls wiki respectively. But something...

JN009 - Jumping Nothing Goes To The Tokyo Dome!
There is an alternative. Far from the world of matadors and John Cena's dad, away from indie wrestling's pale imitations, there is a place where wrestling is still strong, proud and captivating. That place is Japan. For the benefit of their souls, Karl and Michael watch a wrestling show that's...
-
JN008 - Awards Show!
It’s awards time. Dave Meltzer carried the torch for so many years, but the elders have ruled that he doesn’t look sloppy enough any more to be the voice of record. With this in mind, Karl and Michael have bravely stepped into the fold to give out the only recognition worth getting in wrestling...

JN007 - The Era Of Big Men Has Begun
Big Men are back, and not just Ryback. As dirtsheets and smarks bandy the apparently leaked fact that Vince is tired of small people, Karl and Michael consider the mess that was Survivor Series as Year Zero in the switch to the mostly-big-men era. We consider if Roman Reigns is ready, brother, if...
-
JN006 - John Cena Is The Greatest Of All Time
Things get tense as Karl turns heel and shoots on these marks in defence of John Cena, the greatest of all time. It's an in-depth look into Ol' Steroid Skin himself, his merits and drawbacks, the excitement those trumpets reluctantly bring to even the grumpiest neckbeard. We talk hulking up -...

JN005 - An indie show we went to was better than TNA's main show of the year
In this world, there is light and there is dark. There is good and there is evil. There is an indie show we real-life went to in London, and there is TNA’s Bound For Glory. Who will triumph in the battle to make Karl and Michael learn to stop worrying and love the powerbomb? This one’s fun. We…

JN003 - Indie Wrestlers Should Do More Headlocks
On today's Jumping Nothing, Karl and Michael explore independent wrestling. Is it all just vanilla midgets? Is it laudable to do 100 moves? Does it matter what order the 100 moves go in? Who is watching this? Why not do a headlock? Is it funny to tell people to lick your genitals? Are indie...
