What a wacky one this episode is! A few road bumps in this one but it all fits into the theme of the Invasion and what a fumbling that was for WWF. Although, was it really bad? Or just bad timing? Did WWF actually carry this storyline out how they should have? We get into that in this episode, as well as enjoy us some Hugh Morris, Meat, and Billy Kidman's horrendous Shooting Star Press. Oh, and that Steve Austin guy and all his shenanigans.
Was glad to have Joey from "The Angle Podcast" on this episode to have some fun talking about the latter portion of the Attitude Era! Joey puts out a ton of great content; a really knowledgeable guy and an entertaining listen. Go check him out!

WCW in 1994, what a spectacle. And not in a good way. But definitely in a car-crash entertaining way. We got Sting vs Vader for the International World Title that Rick Rude had to vacate due to injury, another insane street fight involving Cactus Jack and The Nasty Boys, and....The WCW Television Champion Lord Steven Regal vs Larry Zbyszko....in a non-title match.....on a PPV....for some reason. But we won't let that ruin our day.
JD from "RedLeaf RetroCast" joins me for this episode and thank goodness, he was able to fill me in on some of these old relics we saw on this show. Nonetheless, this show was a fun time capsule to open up and we had a good ol' time watching WCW in their early years. Follow JD for entertaining and intelligent takes on everything retro: Wrestling, anime, video games, and more. A great podcast for those looking to expand their horizons!

There may not be anything more fun than watching peak TNA; and that's what we got for ya today! We'll (attempt to) ignore the nonsense with Johnny Fairplay and focus on some of the gold we're given on this show: A classic match between AMW and Team Canada, Monty Brown in the main event, and one of the greatest matches of all time in Ultimate X where we see AJ Styles, Petey Williams, and Chris Sabin create magic. Yeah, sure, Kid Kash is on this show too, but we won't let that ruin this.
Nathan from Wrestle Addict Radio joins me today and we have a good ol' time talking about this show. Check him out on his podcast "Game Changer Podcast" on your favorite podcast platform! Always an entertaining listen about wrestling, pop culture, or whatever seeps into his mind.

Art Donovan. Do you need any more reason to listen to this episode or watch this show? Well, you shouldn't; but King of the Ring 1994 also is the official beginning of the New Generation Era, contains the best 5 minute match you'll ever see between Owen Hart and 123 Kid, and has too much IRS. The perfect recipe! And even better, James from "That 90's Wrestling Podcast" joins me to go through all this tomfoolery! We have a fun time stepping in the ol' time machine for this one; lots of hilarity and interesting aspects to this show. Give it a listen!

Time for a couple of Asians to talk reminisce about Ring of Honor! Charlie from GetCho Podcast joins The Hardest Part of the Ring for this episode and we have way too much fun talking about ROH's third ever show! This promotion is still figuring things out at this point but we're working our way towards the golden years. We finally get some insight into the first World Title match, we experience a great match between AJ Styles and Low Ki, and we see women get Burning Hammered. It's a wacky journey but this episode is a perfect example of how fun wrestling can be.
Check out Charlie and the rest of the GetCho! guys on their podcast: “GetCho! Comedy Wrestling Podcast” wherever wherever you listen to podcasts!

You don't know how strong glass can be until you watch King of the Ring 2001. Concussions, broken necks, broken backs, broken tailbones, and broken hands aside.....this was an amazing show. And yes, all of those injuries ACTUALLY occurred on this one show. But more painful than that; this show kicks of the NOTORIOUS Invasion angle for WWF, and we get a glimpse of what could have been.
Kenny from "A Kenny For Your Thoughts" Podcast joins me to discuss all things King of the Ring 2001. Everything from Team RECK, that legendary street fight between Kurt Angle and Shane McMahon, Hulk Hogan's leathery skin, and we do too deep of a deep dive on Spike Dudley. This episode is a silly, hilarious journey. Join us.

A very noteworthy show in the history of AEW…good and bad. We got to see great tag team wrestling, a horrific table spot, and that no one in AEW knows what mimosas look like. Great wrestling, but unfortunately hindered by the lack of energy from the select crowd members. Lots to dissect; about this show specifically and AEW as a whole; and who better to get into that than Buryingsmarks?! We get into a lot of nonsense this episode, strap in, folks.

Time to....PROGRESS in these chapters! (How many times can I make that joke?). This edition of PROGRESS covers Chapters 5 and 6; two chapters filled with violence, absurdity, and some good-natured tag team wrestling. Oh, and Ricochet challenges for the PROGRESS Wrestling Championship! That's just one example of the unpredictability we see in these chapters, let's get into it.

With special guest, Buryingsmarks! Woooo baby we got a loaded one for you today. Huge weekend in wrestling, lots to cover. Buryingsmarks and myself review Takeover and Summerslam in their entirety; as well as touch on some other wrestling-related topics like his trip to the PC, how both of us reacted like little boys when Roman returned, and why strippers are crucial to the success of Monday Night Raw. This is a fun one boys and girls.
Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review! Would greatly appreciate it.

Listen to a guy who has NEVER watched WCW start his journey with Spring Stampede 1994. Did you guys know that Stone Cold wrestled Great Muta? I do now. And it was hilariously disappointing. This show had so many car crash moments and is such an interesting time capsule to look at, given the state of wrestling in 1994.
