How Vince McMahon Killed Territory Wrestling: The Story of the AWA
The American Wrestling Association (AWA) was a big deal in the wrestling world; they boasted some of the top talent in the world and a big TV footprint. It didn't last long, though. Verne Gagne's promotion was quickly poached by Vince McMahon, the ambitious son of the owner of the Northeast...

Survivor Series 1988: There's Too Many Guys In This Match
Dusty had the brilliant idea of watching the Survivor Series 10-team tag match from 1988. It is unclear as to whether he chose this match specifically because Andrew doesn't like Survivor Series matches, or despite that fact, but we watched it either way. Subscribe and tell your friends what we…

Halloween Havoc 1994: Flair vs Hogan For Their Careers!

When Tag Teams Stole The Show: The Dudleys, Hardys, and Edge and Christian Pt. 1
Many people still associate tag team wrestling with what Edge and Christian, The Dudley Boyz, and the Hardy Boyz did starting in 1999 in WWF. The matches were fun, they were brutal, and they involved three very distinct pairs of wrestlers who were there to put on a good show. In this episode, we...

Wrestlemania 8: A Tale Of Two Main Events

Was Royal Rumble 1992 The GOAT?

Random WWF Jobbers You Probably Forgot
Jobbers have been a vital part of professional wrestling throughout its history; sometimes you need to get a guy a win without making a consequential wrestler look weak. Not all jobbers are equal, though. Sometimes there's a Mantaur, or a Knuckleball Schwartz... and don't forget Bastian Booger....
