Today on Something Else, it’s Wednesday, so it’s Total Nonstop Arya! Arya and Cyndi, review the 9th edition of NWA: Total Nonstop Action from August 14, 2002, Today, we have a new NWA Champion and Ron The Truth Killings (R-Truth) is here to team with sometimes rival/sometimes partner, Jeff Jarrett to take on sometimes rivals/sometimes World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles & Jerry Lynn. Plus Bill Behrens apparently got hit in the head too many times because now he is the big dog in charge, complete with comically oversized cowboy hat. Brian Lawler is back and he randomly hates Jeff Jarrett, Trevor Murdoch asks for a blowjob, Bruce thinks he’s Andy Kaufman, Don Harris is a Nazi and a Winner and Loser Leaves Town Dupp Cup match! Another fun show!

Today on Something Else, Arya and Trae dive head-first into August 13, 1983! On Mid-South Wrestling, it is the debut of The Butch Reed Show, followed by the debut of The General Skandor Akbar Show, followed by The Mr. Wrestling II Show and then we get 3 meaningless matches to fill out the last 10 minutes. On World Class, it is a double main event with Kerry Von Erich vs Michael Hayes and Iceman King Parsons vs Buddy Roberts. However, it is so much less exciting than that. Plus Chris Adams continues to not win and Mr. Ebony channels his inner-Indi Hartwell. Plus they talk about the death of Kevin Sullivan, Yuya Uemura’s injury, Happy Corbin, Kaito Kiyomiya vs Ryohei Oiwa, all the wrestling Trae watched in 24 hours, Chris Charlton calling Trae a wag, Arya searching Trae’s Twitter, injuries in the G-1 and the N-1, Harold & The Purple Crayon’s connection to 9/11, how much money Arya and Trae would have to make in order to review Impact from the beginning, John Mulaney, TV/DVR Sleeze Thread, Lexy Nair’s heel turn, how far away the La Quinta is from the Curtis Culwell Center, Arya trying to surreptitiously eat grapes while not on mute, driving to WrestleMania, Hotels.com, Chewy and how we’re not getting paid from either of those places.

Today on the Smoky Mountain Re-Watch-Along Project, Arya and Trae are one-third of the way through SMW and it is the go-home show to Volunteer Slam 93! Today it is legitimately one of, if not the, greatest promo in Smoky Mountain history as Jim Cornette is irate about Commissioner Bob Armstrong’s continuous interference in his business. Plus it is a Mask vs Mask Match where both men lose their masks, with Dixie Dy-no-mite vs The Avenger, Stan Lane’s last tv match, The Nightstalker’s last match and more from Tammy Fytch! All this and so much more on another fun show!

Today on Something Else, it’s Wednesday, so it’s Total Nonstop Arya! Arya and Cyndi, review the 8th edition of NWA: Total Nonstop Action from August 7, 2002, Today, Ron The Truth Killings (R-Truth) will challenge Ken Shamrock for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Can Truth become the first African American to win the title? Plus Ricky Steamboat screws over Jeff Jarrett, Apollo and then the fans, as he allows the Dupps to do whatever the Hell they want, so they create the Dupp Cup. Plus, after a series of awful finishes, AJ Styles defends the X-Division title against Jerry Lynn and Low-Ki in a 3-way match. All that and so much more. A fun show as always!

Today on Something Else, Arya and Trae dive head-first into August 6, 1983! On Mid-South Wrestling, we have new tag team champions, as Jim Duggan and Magnum TA have upended Ted DiBiase and the departing Mr. Olympia for the belts, but more importantly than that, Junkyard Dog has been named a Colonel in the Governors Army, which is apparently a thing. Plus Dr. Death Steve Williams vs King King Bundy and the debut of The Missing Link. Oh boy. On World Class, the Von Erich’s take on Michael Hayes, Buddy Roberts and Jimmy Garvin AND Chris Adams plays soccer here on our wrestling show! Plus, Fuck Logan Paul, JK Rowling, Pat McAfee and Jake Shields, along with discussion of AEW Ring Of Honor, Death Before Dishonor, the history of ROH and That 70’s Show. All that and so much more. Another fun show, as always

Today on the Smoky Mountain Re-Watch-Along Project, Arya and Trae discuss Bobby Eaton’s final SMW match, as he defends the Beat The Champ TV Title against Primetime Brian Lee. Plus it’s another great promo day with Jim Cornette, Robert Fuller, Tracy Smothers and Kevin Sullivan doing battle. On top of that, Bullet Bob Armstrong continues to twist the knife in Corny’s back AND Tammy Fytch has her eyes set on Brian Lee. On top of that, they discuss shitty audio issues, the linear IWGP Championship, the G1 Climax, the linear AEW Championship, Trae being a song writer, Trae in the choir, Tim Horner being a sex symbol, The Fantastics, Arya spilling iced tea mix, sweet tea, Abdullah The Butcher’s House of Ribs, Whataburger, Trae losing his shit about the proper way to make sweet tea, comparing Midnight Express to Young Bucks, SummerSlam, Vickie Guerrero, Hulk Hogan, weird names for Japanese matches and Wrestling Dontaku 1993. Another fun show!

Today on Something Else, it’s Wednesday, so it’s Total Nonstop Arya! Arya and Cyndi, review the 7th edition of NWA: Total Nonstop Action from July 31, 2002, and it’s bullshit from the start, as Ricky Steamboat is here and he promptly ends Jeff Jarrett’s suspension due to him not coming to a meeting. Whatever. So Jarrett wrestles Scott Hall, but before he could do that, out comes Puppet The Psycho Dwarf, who pulls a fricking fun on him. Thankfully Jarrett has a steel chair, which is an appropriate defense to a gun. Plus The Truth becomes Ron Killings, Bruce challenges for the Miss TNA Title, Low-Ki wrestles Jerry Lynn and we get a total cluster fuck in the main event! Another fun show!

Today on Something Else, Arya and Trae dive head-first into July 30, 1983! On Mid-South Wrestling, Buddy Nichols is here to discuss two fuck ups by referee Ricky Ferrera. First, Junkyard Dog wrestles Mr. Olympia and then Steve Williams & Johnny Rich face Ted DiBiase & King Kong Bundy. Both have fucked up referee finishes. In between that is a terrific Butch Reed-Magnum TA match. On World Class, Kevin Von Erich faces Jimmy Garvin in the main event. Plus, David Von Erich claims that Garvin touched him in a way he’s never been touched and Arya is distracted by the Olympics. Plus they discuss MJF vs Will Ospreay, Swerve Strickland’s AEW Title reign, UWF Beach Brawl, finding the WCW TV Title in the trash, finding in the WWF European Title in Shane McMahon’s bag, Toa Henare, G-1 Climax, the worst title changes, the TNA Lockbox Challenge, John and Rick Davidson’s All Japan tour, Y2K, Matt Striker, Matt Stryker, Herb Abrams, Golden Greek John Tolos, the easiest fruits to spell, Poetry For Neanderthals, Deadpool & Wolverine and Nia Jax. Another fun show!
