Back Through The Ropes

We continue to roll down the road to Wrestlemania! After going over the the build up to it on Raw and Smackdown this week, Danny takes a detour to look at some old Wrestlemania matches.  10 random matches from 10 random Wrestlemanias!   These are all matches that Danny has never watched before, and he gives his thoughts about each one.  Bret vs Owen! Hogan vs Warrior! HHH vs Daniel Bryan!.......and the Battle of the Billionaires (it was random ok?  They could't all be gems)

And as a bonus, Danny bought some new wrestling action figures this week and you get to hear all about them!

In any good tag team, every once in a while one of the members needs to take a short break from action leaving the other member to try his hand at singles action. Two-Bit's taking a brief break from the podcast during a busy work season, so Danny's going solo today talking about what's been happening on the Road to Wrestlemania!

Hollywood recasts characters all the time, but what about in the world of wrestling?  After all, these are also just characters being played by a performer.  Can someone else take over an iconic character and run with it? Danny and Two-Bit return with a new Fast count, taking a look at the mess that was Fake Diesel and Fake Razor.

Longtime listeners(or even short-time listeners) will know that Danny and Two-Bit love factions in wrestling!  Today the boys sit down to talk about what it is they love about them, a little history behind the concept of factions, who their favorites are, and which ones make them scratch their heads.

To start off the show they also have a recap of Elimination Chamber 2019

It's been awhile since the Danny and Two-Bit have gone back through the ropes and looked at classic pay-per-view.  This week they're taking a look back at King of the Ring 1993!  It was the first PPV King of the Ring tournament filled with matches that are both classic and infamous featuring Bret Hart, Mr. Perfect, Razor Ramon, Lex Luger, Tatanka, Bam Bam Bigelow, and Hulk Hogan's last PPV appearance before leaving to WCW. This was also the first major PPV to air that was not one of the big 4 WWE/WWF pay-per- view.  While filled with classic characters, this show was really about Bret Hart and his career being taken to the next level.

They guys also have a talk about AEW news, and make some predictions about the Elimination Chamber 2019!

Danny and Two-Bit are back shooting smack!  It's only one month into 2019 and a lot has already happened in the world of professional wrestling.  The boys sit down to talk All Elite Wrestling news, the Royal Rumble and its fallout from this week on Raw and Smackdown, the new additions to Danny's toy collection, and the awesome time they had at a WWE house show this weekend.

Today they boys are talking about kayfabe, the belief that what the actions that are happening in a wrestling ring are real and not staged.  Alot of people say that because the business is as exposed as it is these days that kayfabe is dead.  Danny and Two-Bit sit down to talk talk about whether it's dead or still alive and well.

We're at the beginning of the road to Wrestlemania!  The first stop is this Sunday at the Royal Rumble.  Danny and Two-Bit were planning a history of the Royal Rumble and prediction episode this weekend, but unfortunately Two-Bit was stuck at home sick and is now relaxing in fabulous Las Vegas for the week.  Stepping in for him is our special guest host, Danny's fiance, Khanida.  They're going to break down the card match by match, and give their predictions for who comes out on top.  Will it be The Man Seth Rollins?  Or will it be The Man Becky Lynch?

This week on Fast Count we're taking a look at Glacier! What was it about the WCW wrestler that didn't work out? Was it the poorly timed debut? Was it that he was a blatant rip off of Sub Zero from Mortal Kombat? Who knows.

Happy new year!  It's our first recording session of the year and a lot has happened since we last spoke.  New Japan Pro Wrestling had their biggest event of the year with Wrestle Kingdom 13. NXT UK had their first Takeover PPV in Blackpool. Then of course there's all the news about the biggest story of the year so far: the announcement of All Elite Wresting.  We're going to be going over what we know, what we don't know, and who we hope to see in this exciting new promotion.
