Golden Eras of TNA, ROH, and PROGRESS. And much much more, tune in! The goal of this podcast is to reflect on the things we love about wrestling, as well as poke fun at the hilarity that often ensues. Let’s not take things too seriously. Let’s have fun.

Do you want Jeff Jarrett? Do you want a car-crash ladder match with Abyss and Jeff Hardy? Do you want to see a NASCAR commentator wrestle? Well THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU. As per usual, TNA delivers with some great matches, hilariously bad matches, and just an overall entertaining show (sometimes not entertaining for the "right" reasons). Charlie from "GetCho" Podcast joins me once again and we get really silly in this one, but we'll blame that on TNA. This is a barn-burner, folks!

Hopping across the pond once again for some UK wrasslin'! PROGRESS never fails to deliver great shows, and Chapters 7-8 are no exception. Two PROGRESS Title matches, a brutal hardcore match with Jimmy Havoc, and legendary appearances by Nigel McGuinness and Doug Williams! Great matches across the board; and you can really see that this company is starting to figure things out here in terms of storylines and production value. Lots of shenanigans to get into here!

This episode is so hot, it’s scary!!! The year of 1994 is widely perceived as a down year for wrestling; and by many metrics, it is. However, the Summer of 94 sees so many impactful seeds being planted: Hogan debuting in WCW, Shane Douglas dropping the NWA Title and igniting ECW, and Jeff Jarrett vs Mabel here at Summerslam. This show is mainly known for Bret vs Owen in the cage, and for Undertaker vs Undertaker. However, there are so many other interesting and funny elements of the show that dive into in this episode, and Kenny from “A Kenny For Your Thoughts” Podcast returns to the podcast to join me in recapping all of this nonsense. A really fun one here, folks!

Sixteen men. One title.
Jerry Lynn. One banana.
All of these plots get resolved on this show, and boy howdy is it a fun one! JD from the RedLeaf Retrocast joins me in getting to check out one of the first AJ Styles vs Christopher Daniels matches, we get some building of the tag division, and we see a Prince get knocked out by Low Ki. Lots of shenanigans ensue during this show but one thing is for sure, there is tons of great wrestling. A very interesting glimpse into the future of the business, and the future of what ROH would become.

Best Hell in a Cell PPV of all time. So much to dig into. Three Cell matches, but each with their own identity; and that's what made this show such a success. We of course go over all the matches but I expand into topics I haven't audio-ly discussed yet such as Retribution, the Samoan Dynasty storyline, and why duct tape gives me anxiety.

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.
