  • Summary

  • We dive deep into the archives of pro wrestling in a quest to pit the best matches and shows of all time from WWE, AEW, Ring of Honor, TNA and more against each other. Each episode we cover multiple matches or full shows, talking about the buildup and going blow by blow with our analysis and opinions.

  • Matches 3: Rock/Hogan Wrestlemania 18 & Guerrero/Malenko 2 of 3 falls ECW 1995
    Aug 23 2024

    We're hitting two very different ends of the wrestling spectrum this episode. We start with a trip back to the very underground early days of 1995 ECW with Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko in their farewell encounter, closing out their series with a classic best 2 of 3 falls match.

    Then we move on to see what happens two of the biggest icons of pro wrestling and pop culture in general go face to face on the grandest stage of all. That's right, it's Hollywood Hulk Hogan vs The Rock from 2002's WWF Wrestlemania X8, the show that asks the fans: Watcha gonna do when a dastardly heel invades the roster and tries to full on murder your favourite star? Give him one of the unrelentingly loudest babyface reactions in history, apparently.

  • Matches 2: Ospreay/Omega Wrestle Kingdom 17 & RVD/Lynn Living Dangerously 1999
    Jul 22 2024

    Limber up those neck muscles and dust off your jumping boots because we've got some high flying, hard hitting action to cover. Up first, it's a dream match on a grand stage as we chart the journey that brought Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega to pretending to be their favourite video game characters in NJPW's biggest show of the year. Then we wind the clock back to look at two pioneers of this whole fast jumpy kicky flippy style with Rob Van Dam vs Jerry Lynn from the glory days of confusingly-booked ECW. Can either of these matches el-elevate itself to the top of our list?

  • Shows 2: AEW Double Or Nothing 2019
    Jul 6 2024

    We go Double Or Nothing on this reviewing-historic-PPVs concept and jump in to the background and formation of All Elite Wrestling, and their first* show. This episode has it all! Flips! Japanese women going 'aaahh!' Inexplicable Queen references! And what turns out to be a modern classic Cody vs Dustin Rhodes match with more blood than you can shake a missing turnbuckle pad at.

    And as for the ranking, we ask is AEW's first outing better than that Survivor Series 1998 show we did last episode? The answer may shock you (but probably won't).
