This is by far the weirdest and most insane wrestling story line of all time. It involves mist impregnating a woman and an egg baby!

We have been doing this show for over two years. We have covered nearly 100 crazy, wacky and insane wrestling angles. This week we cover the strangest one of all time. It involves The Great Muta, Yinling The Erotic Terrorist and Monster Bono the sumo baby. The Great Muta uses his mist to impregnate Yinling and we will just leave it at that!

WCW Souled Out 1997 and You Cannot Kill David Arquette Trailer Reaction

We react to another horrible WCW PPV in Souled Out 1997 when the nWo ran their own PPV.

Season 6 - Episode #36: WCW Souled Out 1997 and You Cannot Kill David Arquette Trailer Reaction

Even though the whole nation is in self quarantine mode from the coronavirus we still are bringing you entertainment!

We have previously talked about bad PPVs on the show before but we have another brutal one to talk about this week. nWo Souled Out 1997 was WCW's first attempt at a brand split with the nWo and WCW. This was a nWo produced show and boy did it turn into a disaster.

Also the first trailer for You Cannot Kill David Arquette has been released and we watch and react to it!

The Worst Wrestling PPV Of All Time

Uncensored 1995 is the single worst PPV in the history of wrestling and here's why...

Season 6 - Episode #36: The Worst Wrestling PPV Of All Time

People like to crap on 2000s WCW but the early to mid 90s might have been worse. Uncensored 1995 was a PPV that was advertised as Unsanctioned, Unauthorized, Unbelievable. In other words it was going to be so violent and crazy that WCW themselves would not sanction any match so there would be no rules. It proceeded to feature special stipulations (aka rules) in every match but two, have a match that was literally censored, and have a main event that was sanctioned. Also the main event featured Hogan beating a man who wasn't even his opponent to win. It's absolutely insane. Also we talk this week in wrestling, Mark went to a local show with an unsafe cage match and the festival where the premier of David Arquette's wrestling documentary You Cannot Kill David Arquette was cancelled.

2001: A XFL Disaster

The XFL is back but that doesn't mean we have to forget about the original disaster from 2001.

Season 6 - Episode #33: 2001: A XFL Disaster

So the XFL Season 2 is in full swing and we are enjoying it quite a lot. Mark with his Renegades and Harris with his Guardians. But let's not forget that it was in 2001 that Vince McMahon originally decided to start a football league called the XFL. That time it failed miserably. There were so many insane things that took place that year and Harris has made a list of 10 we go over to explain just how nuts it was. From Vince trying to turn it into a wrestling promotion to inappropriate cheerleaders to unnecessary injuries and to He Hate Me it never ceased to be, well, insane.

We also talk the amazing roll AEW Dynamite has been on and the upcoming Atlanta show as well as What's Up With David Arquette!

Kerwin White, "Alexa Bliss" and XFL Themes

We talk about that time Chavo Guerrero turned white, Bowling For Soup's new song "Alexa Bliss" and the theme songs for XFL Teams!

Season 6 - Episode #32: Kerwin White, "Alexa Bliss" and XFL Themes

We have a jam packed episode for y'all this week. First we talk some current wrestling news. AEW had a big show and WWE seems to be on the right track heading towards WrestleMania.

David Arquette has a wrestling documentary coming out in March called You Cannot Kill David Arquette and he was kind enough to send us some promotional material to help spread the word.

The XFL has released official theme songs for every team and we go through them and see if they are any good.

Bowling For Soup, the amazing pop-punk band has released "Alexa Bliss" which is an incredible song all about our favorite goddess.

For the main show we are talking about something that was a pretty awful and offensive angle WWE did. Back in 2005 Chavo Guerrero decided to denounce his Mexican heritage and become "white middle-class." Needless to say it was...well...interesting.

It's back! The XFL has returned and we are here to bring you everything (not really) you need to know for Season 2!

The Best (Worst) XFL Preview Ever!

Football continues as we get ready for Season 2 of the XFL! It didn't work 20 years ago but it will now that's for sure! We bring you everything you need to know (but mostly it's just us making fun of players names and the stupid one sentence taglines each team has for their opening day)! Also make sure and go back and listen to Mark's Mystery Box from a few months ago for our detailed description of each team with dramatic readings from the paragraphs they wrote describing themselves.
