In 1989, Vince McMahon admitted to the New Jersey athletic commission that professional wrestling had predetermined outcomes, and should not be held to the guidelines of athletic commissions, including their monetary fees.  This week, we discuss Kayfabe, how it has realistically ended, although it still seems to appear preriodically, and the effects of it ending, both positive and negative.  This should be an interesting discussion, with a possible history lesson as well.

Every once in a while, someone famous from outside the wrestling world gets involved.  Sometimes, they even wrestle in a match, sometimes more than one match, and sometimes, they even become a champion.  Did they belong? Did they help, or did they hinder the business?  Who were the best ones, and who was wasting everyone's time?  This week, we discuss the Top 10 Celebrities in Wrestling.

On 22 November, 1990, the wrestling world saw the debut of one of the greatest characters of all time.  This wrestler has become a legend, and has earned their place in the annals of history.  Of course, we're talking about the Gobbledygooker...wrong!

By the time of this episode being recorded, we will be a day after Survivor Series 2020, exactly 30 years to the day of the debut of the Undertaker at Survivor Series 1990.  This week, we will discuss the pay-per-view, the positives and negatives, what we would change or Armchair Book, and the lasting impact 30 years later.  Join us live, or download in the archives!

It was considered to be a disappointing pay-per-view based on the number of buys, but it certainly wasn't a disappointment to watch.  Just six days after the 1991 Survivor Series, the company in Connecticut decided to try broadcasting on a Tuesday instead.  From Texas.  Hence, the name, This Tuesday in Texas.  The two main matches were promising to deliver, and they did not fail.  Hulk Hogan felt robbed when he lost the World Title to The Undertaker (with Ric Flair's help) at the Survivor Series.  Randy Savage wanted revenge on Jake "The Snake" Roberts for his attack at the wedding of Macho Man and Elizabeth, and the subsequent attack when Jake's snake bit Savage on the arm (and wouldn't let go).  Come join us as we discuss these two matches, plus the other matches featured on this card.

Veterans Day (or Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth Nations) is a day we hold in special regard since we are both Veterans ourselves.  On the 11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month, we remember those who have honorably served in the Armed Forces.  In honor of these folks, we list our Top 10 Military Veterans in Wrestling, but make no mistake, these 10 are by no means the only ones who deserve recognition.  Stick around for this entire episode, there may be some surprises in store.

This week, we take a look at some of the trends and practices within the world of Professional Wrestling.  These will be our opinions, based on what we are seeing with the current product.  We do not expect anyone to agree with everything we say, especially since we already know we will not agree with each other.  That's what makes this episode interesting.  Give us your feedback on what you think as well!

We all had those wrestlers who made us afraid when we were kids.  We're talking the ones who managed to scare the beejezus out of us.  Was it how they looked, something they did in the ring, maybe their promos?  This week, with Halloween just being a few days away, we discuss the Top 10 Scariest Gimmicks.  

And we promise, the Gobbledy-Gooker is NOT on the list, despite what might have been said last week.

There are some families who really know how to keep the business going.  We have already discussed the top 2nd Generation Superstars.  On this episode, we dive even further and rank who we believe are the Top 10 3rd Generation Superstars in Professional Wrestling.  Surprisingly, we found this to be the hardest list to come up with yet.  Some of the names won't be a shock to anyone, but there are some who just might throw you for a loop.  Come join us!

Fall Brawl 1997.  Ric Flair has famously referred to this as the day wrestling was killed in the state of North Carolina.  On this episode, we discuss the War Games match between the Four Horsemen and the NWO which led Flair to make his statement, along with the other matches on the card.

Professional Wrestling can very much be a family business.  Like days of old where the children would carry on the occupations of their parents, wrestling has produced several 2nd and 3rd generation superstars.  While some may not quite reach the level of their forebears, there are some who actually surpass them.  On this episode, we discuss who we feel are the greatest 2nd Generation superstars.  Quick note, this list includes those who are 2nd Generation only, and not 3rd Generation.  That will be a discussion for a different episode.
