  • The Return of the Boar!
    Oct 8 2024

    Our favorite member of the Suidae family, Boar joins us again to talk smack about his upcoming match with Myles Hawkins at the next Virginia Championship Wrestling event, Grave Conflict, on October 12th! When then decided to watch the instant classic of Diesel vs. Bret Hart from the 1995 Survivor Series from Landover, MD (We covered this show before because Rich was there, but it's the favorite match of the guest Sus Scrofa). Did we ever mention that we LOVE Bret Hart? We did? Are you sure? Ok. I believe you!

  • Clash of the Champions XXIV
    Sep 27 2024

    Tim and Rich pop into the vault to bring up WCW's 24th Clash of the Champions from 1993. If you know, you know, amirite? This show starts out pretty good, but you can tell it's just doomed from the start, and then it happens, the most shocking debut in all of professional wrestling, and not in a good way. It's another one of those times where kayfabe is broken and a landmark moment in the history of wrestling is created, for better or worse. Thanks for listening!

  • WrestleMania 31
    Aug 30 2024

    Today, we travel back to 2015 for WrestleMania 31. I was going to make a Terminator timeline reference since this show is heavily sponsored by Terminator: Genisys, but the timeline is so messed up I can't tell what happened 2015. What we do know: Sting is not Japanese, HHH is not a robot, DX and the NWO are old, and Roman Reigns can work a shoot with Brock Lesnar. The Undertaker gets back on his winning ways, The Rock panders, and the WWE wants to be the NFL. I think that's pretty good summary of WrestleMania 31. Obviously, we explain these points, so download and take a listen!
