It's 2023! Indie wrestling developer MDickie is mad at AEW Fight Forever for some reason. Do we have a release date? Not yet.

What we do have is a look back at some terrible ECW games from Acclaim and figure news.

This week, we discuss Paradox Development and Eidos Interactive's Backyard Wrestling: Don't Try This At Home and Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes The Neighbourhood. But perhaps more importantly than all that, Mongo has a lot to say about AEW Fight Forever and Ultra Pro Wrestling. Boy howdy, it's a doozy!

Show Note: There will not be a new episode next week due to Christmas.

It's episode eight! Today, we cover the Electronic Arts WCW games. WCW Mayhem and the truly awful, WCW Backstage Assault. Mongo also explains what happened with WCW Mayhem 2 and Backstage Assault for PS2. 

Note: This episode was recorded before the Ultra Pro Wrestling AI art debacle. This will be covered next week.

This week it's the WCW games published by THQ. On one hand, you've got the absolutely awful Inland Productions PSX/N64/PC games. On the other hand, you've got the legendary N64 games (and one good PSX game) by AKi. Did you own an N64 or were you stuck with your PSX, watching WCW wrestlers rant and playing as cows, clowns and aliens?

This week we talk the FCI WCW games. We talk a little about the unreleased UWC game, World Championship Wrestling for NES, WCW Main Event for Game Boy and the awful WCW SuperBrawl for SNES. Show me respeck! It's not my fault! We also run down the news of the week and end with figure talk as usual!

It's a rage filled episode! Mongo is mad at Ultra Pro Wrestling! I'm mad at WWE 2K22! We also take a look back at the Legends of Wrestling series which doesn't help matters. Screw Simon Dean!

In this episode, we cover the history of WWE Games under the THQ banner. We also talk about the news of the week including WWE 2K23, AEW Fight Forever and Ultra Pro Wrestling. We close the show talking action figures!

A huge episode this week. Dave Wishnowski joins us to talk about the history of Pro Wrestling X. Today's version, early incarnations, Uprising, and more. We also talk about other independent developers, that time Dave tried to license the AKI engine, we find out who tried to license the KOC engine, Legends of Wrestling when it was supposed to be an ECW game. Working with AJ Styles, Bret Hart, and THQ Producer Sanders Keel. So much more!

In episode two, we cover the complete history of World Wrestling Federation games from 1987 to 2002. We also announce our special guest for next week's episode!
