There have been many milestones during our recap of the wars, but this is one of the most anticipated.  One of the most gruesome wrestling injuries ever wasn't shown on the PPV where it occurred, but multiple times on TV the next night.  And while Sid sold it, the other wrestlers in the ring didn't.  Also this week:   - News - This week in TNA, AEW, and WWE - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Top Topic: Best sellers of all time

Can you believe The Top of Wrestling is celebrating its 6th anniversary?  This week we listen to our very first episode and revel in The Professor's radio voice.  Back when we had high hopes for the show.  Now you can hear the defeat in our voice every week.  We sound more bitter than Bret Hart.  Also this week:   - News - This week in TNA, WWE, and AEW - Cena's retirement match - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Top Topic: Non-Wrestling XI, plus revisiting the Top of Wrestling teaser trailer

The IWC is at it again calling Survivor Series 2025 one of the worst ever.  But let's be honest, it's probably mostly AI making those claims.  Also, we never ended up talking about the masked man, so here it is.  Austin Theory.  Also this week:   - News - This week in WWE and AEW - Survivor Series 2025 recap - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Top Topic: Ranking WWE and NXT Wargames (Men's only)

AI making basement marks get lucky, RAW went back to the Attitude era, and The Professor quotes Nicki Minaj.  I couldn't think of a better way to head into Thanksgiving.  Enjoy this episode, and Happy Turkey Day from the Top of Wrestling!  Also this week:   - News - This week in AEW and WWE - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - TV Show of the Week: The Jackson 5: An American Dream

A lot of potential episode names were left on the cutting room floor this week.  25 years ago, Austin committed vehicular manslaughter, we had 2 guest appearances on WWE, and Blood and Guts was a thing that happened.  And this week we talk about the top 10 wrestlers in WCW.  Also this week:   - News - This week in AEW and WWE - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Top Topic: The Top 10 Wrestlers in WCW

The Professor might be more pissed than when ODM put Goldberg in the top 10 wrestlers of all time.  So pissed in fact, he couldn't wait until the next episode to let his thoughts be known.  His rage knows no bounds.

Two years later and titles are still meaningless.  PWI pulls a Meltzer, Nixon Newell refuses to job, and Chelsea Green gets creamed.  No, it's not just your imagination, it's just another crazy week in the world of wrasslin'.  Also this week:   - News - This week in WWE and AEW - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Movie of the week: The Temptations

Well, ODM finally made The Professor snap.  Flag this episode, because The Professor will make sure ODM never forgets it.  Also this week:   - News - This week in AEW, NJPW, and WWE - Bring it to the Table, maybe? - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Top Topic: 10 Greatest Wrestlers of All Time

ODM is back from vacation and ready to dive back into it.  25 years ago WCW presented one of their worst PPVs to date.  And this past weekend, NXT put on a pretty decent PPV under the same name.  SNME is shaping up to be interesting, and WWE released a bunch of teasers that did exactly that.  And like WCW in 2000, there was no payoff.  Also this week:   - News - This week in WWE and AEW - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Movie of the week: Men at Work  

Not all haunted hayride experiences are the same.  Same thing with wrestling.  Fish Tanks, Old Sting, Russo is still a douche, and yes, yeeting.  Also this week:   - News - AEW Wrestledream 2025 results - This week in AEW and WWE - Bring it to the table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Top Topic: Cena/Styles Trilogy 

A crazy week in wrestling, almost felt like Wrestlemania week.  Title changes, screaming beavers, middle fingers, and blow up dolls.  Never meet your heroes kids, it will only end in disappointment.  Also this week:   - News - This week in TNA, NJPW, AEW, and WWE - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Top Topic: Greatest TV Characters of all Time

We really are good at making chicken salad out of chicken shit.  Work be damned, we were able to cobble together an episode.  At least we didn't have any technical difficulties.  Also this week:   - News - This week in AEW, NJPW, TNA, and WWE - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Top Topic: ROH 2002 (The First Half)

Word of advice, watch your chicken nugget consumption before going into a casino.  Put Terminator on the big screen and whip out that big ten inch, record of a band that plays the blues.  Or if you're the Professor, convert it to the metric system.  Box botches, big box botches, and a podcast that never brings their wives to work.  Also this week:   - News - This week in AEW, WWE, NJPW and TNA - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Movie of the Week: Stay Tuned

Can we all just agree that both shows sucked and move on?  Stephanie scrunches her face, Rhea looks like She Hulk, and Toni Storm looks like a woman, as a man, as a woman.  Put that round peg in the square hole as we recap all the nonsense from this past weekend.  Go Bills!  Also this week:   - News - This week in AEW and WWE - Wrestlepalooza and All Out results - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Top Topic: The State of Wrestling in 2025

To clarify, Gary Coleman was not in Webster.  And don't ask us what we talkin' bout.  As we ramp up towards another WWE vs AEW PPV weekend, we decide to focus on football, alternate movie premises, and making sure you call your mother.  Also this week:   - News - This week in AEW and WWE - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Top Topic: Vice Versa

AJ Lee is back in the WWE, Karen's are stealing baseballs from children, and Tuco continues his reign of terror, against children.  Let's crank The Supremes as we look ahead to Wrestlepalooza and All Out.  Go Bills!  Also this week:   - News - This week in AEW, NJPW, and WWE - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Top Topic: Non Wrestling X

A lot of horsing around this week.  So much so, that we had to record some parts twice.  Clash in Paris, Fat Todd, Paige VanZant, and so much more.  Stop taking pictures of your kids going back to school, and listen to the worst podcast ever.  Also this week:   - News - Clash in Paris 2025 Results - This week in AEW and WWE - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Movie of the Week: El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

Lots to talk about this week, mostly the Raja Jackson incident.  The not so forbidden door, Clash in Paris, and speaking Japanese.  And in our top topic, we go through 64 wrestling finishers to determine which is the best ever.  Also this week:   - News - AEW Forbidden Door 2025 results - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Top Topic: Top Finishers Tournament

Vacations in Cleveland, vacations in Greece, Scarlet Pimps, and puppets.  And, did ODM finally watch The Hateful Eight?  Maybe, maybe not, but he did add another win to the "called it" column.  Also this week:   - News - Triplemania XXXIII and NJPW G1 Climax 35 results - This week in NJPW, AEW and WWE - Bring it to the table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Movie of the Week: The Hateful Eight

Shout out to Nightwing, hope all is well brother.  Anyway, over here in podcast land we are coming back with another show and another top topic.  What got you into wrestling and what's your first memory of watching?  Professor buys a house, ODM goes to the ED, and the ToW goes off the rails.  So a typical Wednesday.  Also this week:   - News - This week in NJPW, AEW, and WWE - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Top Topic: What got you into wrestling?

SummerSlam '25 is in the books and we are here to review all of the insanity from the weekend.  Did we like it, did we hate it?  The commercials themselves were about as long as an AEW PPV, so there's that.  Snoogins.  Also this week:   - News - This week in AEW, WWE and NJPW - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Movie(s) of the week: The Jay and Silent Bob Universe

Our go home show for SummerSlam.  We have talked our favorite SummerSlam matches and cards, but never have we recapped every SummerSlam.  Professor actually kept it succinct, so I'll take it easy on him.  Ladies, get your credit cards ready.  Also this week:   - News - This week in AEW, WWE and NJPW - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Top Topic: Favorite Summerslam Matches, Moments and Memories

A polarizing figure, though his contributions to the world of wrestling can not be ignored.  A special episode to cover the legacy of one of the biggest draws in wrestling history.  We talk his rise from the territories, the rise of Hulkamania, the infamous heel turn, and the times he actually put others over.  Train, take your vitamins, say your prayers, and join us as we remember Hulk Hogan, brother.

This whole episode is a meme itself.  Coldplay is somehow relevant, Bill Goldberg is still a dick, we still have microphone issues, and we still don't care about Jelly Roll.  But at least we got to talk about the Police Academy movies.  Also this week:   - News - TNA Slammiversary 2025 Results - This week in AEW, WWE, TNA, and NJPW - Bring it to the Table - This week in the Monday Night Wars - Movies of the Week: Police Academy 1-7
