The wild, wacky and crazy side of professional wrestling.
There is so much to unpack this week. First we talk recent news in wrestling including AEW Dynamite, NWA Powerrr and R-Truth's amazing promo with Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman on RAW.
Then for the topic we dissect three of the stupidest matches WCW has ever had. The first was a good idea and had good participants with Kidman and Dean Malenko in a Catch-As-Catch-Can Match. But didn't turn out right after a big mistake.
Then we go to the Junkyard Hardcore Invitational where 15 wrestlers battled in a random parking lot with junked cars. It's impossible to follow and boring.
Finally we go to the best one with Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair in a Yapapi Indian Strap Match. Hogan gives us two of the greatest promos in history and then the match doesn't even follow it's own rules!

We head back to WWF in 2001. The Monday Night Wars had ended but there still was a power struggle in WWF.

Craziness followed including Stone Cold telling Tajiri Claus what he wanted for Christmas and playing Christmas carols on the guitar! Also we talk current wrestling news and talk about some of our top WWE moments of the decade!

We continue with the Christmas spirit for our episodes this December and so for this one we head to the 80s! "Hot Rod" Rowdy Roddy Piper has been involved in many Christmas angles over the years. We will cover three in particular here but mostly we are focused on the one from 1985 where he appeared on an episode of Tuesday Night Titans. He came with a film he wanted to show. It turned out to be his version of A Christmas Carol with Piper himself in the role of Scrooge!

This just might our strangest episode ever! In WCW in 1995 Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff was in a losing streak and got so disheartened that he no longer thought he was Wonderful. So who comes to help but psychic Gary Spivey! He gives Orndorff a pep talk that fills him back up to the brim with confidence. Also the best David Arquette week of all time has happened! Our Patron Saint was on WWE Backstage where he cut a promo on Booker T and one of our tweets went up live as well! He also won a match the week against The Shockmaster!
