Nepo-babies? More like NO-po-babies! These wrestlers carried on their family's legacy with pride and honor, reaching high heights and avoiding low lows--as much as you can, anyway. Who did Nate and Eric include on their Mount Rushmores of Second-Generation Wrestlers? Listen up and find out!

You ever watch pro wrestling with some friends or loved ones, and an awful character or bad wrestler comes on your screen? And even though the rest of the room turns its collective nose up, you think to yourself, "Hey, this is pretty awesome. I wish this would go on forever"? Well, this episode goes on forever: It's the Mount Rushmore of Guilty Pleasures in professional wrestling! Who would Nate and Eric never turn their noses up at, no matter how silly the character, how poor the quality of moves, or how questionable the true entertainment value? We've got questionable entertainment value for you... right here!

Folks, what would professional wrestling be without an object that clonks someone over the head and costs them the match? Eric and Nate spend this episode discussing the best inanimate objects in the game. We're not talking folding chairs, though; we're not talking ringside tables or barricades or even, in Bobby "The Brain" Heenan's words, "what the he**, use the bell!" Nope, we're talking character-accentuating, inseparable-from-the-person, could-be-a-weapon-or-could-be-a-statement inanimate objects in and around the ring. From the early days of wrestling to now, which items make the guys' Mount Rushmores?

Eric's nervous about this one, and Nate is pumped for it: Throughout its 45-year history as the primary, well, secondary belt in the WWWF/WWF/WWE, which wrestlers have elevated themselves and the title to be considered for the Mount Rushmore of Intercontinental Champions? Did the guys factor in number of title reigns? Days holding the title? Guitars bashed over an opponent's head? (And the one you're thinking about isn't the only one who did it.) Who's feeling nostalgic? Who's feeling modern? Tune in and find out!

We're just coming off Memorial Day in the U.S., so with arguably few to choose from, which pro wrestling military gimmicks made it onto Nate and Eric's Mount Rushmore?

Even better, the fellas are joined by Joyce Paustian, longtime wrestling fan, photographer, and author of the book "My Ringside Seat to the AWA" - you can order Joyce's fantastic book full of personal memories, stories, anecdotes, and amazing photography from her time as a fan and supporter of the AWA and its wrestlers; just head over to www.joycepaustian.com and get yours now.

This... is EXTREME-ly fun for two old-school fans like Nate and Eric to discuss: Who's on the Mount Rushmore of ECW? Who personified the company? Who compelled people to tune in and watch in awe? Whose athleticism, grit, heart, blood, sweat, tears, and hardcore ethos etches them a rightful place in history? Find out if you can... survive if we let you.

Some wrestlers debut as a surprise, a mystery, with little warning, or even to no fanfare. But some arrive on the scene with a great series of vignettes previewing their character, their attitude, their motivation, their catchphrase, and more. Which of these vignettes make Eric and Nate's Mount Rushmores?
