How Did This Get Booked?!?

On this episode of HDTGB comedian, Mimi Benfield returns to discuss a much shorter show. Bloopers, Bleeps and Bodyslams is Coliseum Home Video 001 and boy are we surprised they made more of them. Luckily Mimi was here for this one so she could share her thoughts about Adrian Adonis haunting Rowdy Roddy Piper. Jake also recalls a story he heard from Tony Atlas himself and no its not about feet. Because of this video Zane now has a new code word for a drunk and unruly customer at his bar which now will be referred to as a, Captain Lou Albano. Dicks, Butts and domestic assault is the comedy gold mine that Vince Killer McMahon was aiming for in this Coliseum Home Video classic.

CAUTION: This episode contains very sensitive subjects that are discussed very poorly. 

On this episode of HDTGB podcaster, Ryan Howard joins Zane & Jake to discuss An Interview with a Psychopath otherwise known as Billy Jack Haynes - The Conspiracy Theory.  BOMBSHELL TONIGHT!!!  We had to bring a wrestling fan on for this one in hopes that the guest wouldn’t be too lost and that failed miserably.  Billy Jack is out of his mind but he maybe on to something when it comes to the Chris Benoit tragedy. To best explain this podcast you have to see the movie, Manhunter. Basically, Jake is Will Graham, Chris Benoit is the Francis Dollarhyde and Billy Jack Haynes is Hannibal Lecter. This analogy maybe more confusing than Jake’s whole theory. Either way do yourself a favor and watch Michael Mann’s Manhunter. This podcast you can take or leave unless you want to hear a never before discussed theory about the last days of Chris Benoit.

On this episode of HDTGB comedians Ramon Perez & Kaleigh Cutright join Zane & Jake to discuss a wholesome family wrestling show filled with “Holy Shit” chants entitled, Family Wrestling Entertainment No Limits 2013. This podcast is filled with voice masking filters, physical act outs and plugs for Tom Segura’s new Netflix special, Disgraceful. All the things you would expect from a podcast release. Unfortunately all the Brooklyn hipsters that came out to this show will not be listening to this episode because it’s not produced by WNYC studios. Which is fine with us because they may get triggered by the shots that are fired by Kaleigh Cutright at Maria Kanellis. You have been warned. Also seriously please make sure you watch Tom Segura’s new Netflix special, Disgraceful.

On this episode of HDTGB comedian Matthew McCorkle joins Zane & Jake to discuss a Tape Trader Must Have in, The Birth of the Great Muta. Poor Matt, had never seen professional wrestling before in his entire life and for this podcast he was given a “Best of” tape that had one of the weirdest short films bookending the video. Needless to say Matt will not be joining the IWC anytime soon. But Matt was able to recognize that what he was watching was good it was just super weird. Jake & Zane try to explain whats going to Matt but he still has to look at Wikipedia during the podcast just to make sense of it all.

On this episode of HDTGB comedian JD Colwell joins Zane & Jake to discuss a "Best of" commercial tape from the National Wrestling Conference which is, Total Chaos.  Boy are we so clever in this new year. Not only is this tape chaotic it is full of salacious allegations. Numerous BuzzFeed headlines could be pulled from this podcast such as, Where did Virgil get his Fuck Money, NWC: The Leading Promotion in Fights with Audience Members and Terry Funk, Huge Fan of Ass Play.  Also this podcast contains a ton of trampoline wrestling talk so buckle up for another episode of How Did This Get Booked.

To get into the holiday spirit Zane & Jake decide to watch the 1996 Christmas classic, Santa With Muscles… and it was a horrible mistake. This movie was only in theaters for two weeks but the scars from this movie will live forever. This movie does launch a few careers but it ends far more. Although, this movie is ahead of its time in a few areas like, a crazy jacked billionaire like Jeff Bezos, using Piezoelectricity as a renewable energy source and the militarization of the police. The guys try to muddle through the plot while saluting the true hero of this movie, Hulk Hogan's personal hair stylist.

On this episode of HDTGB comedian Matt Barrentine returns to discuss a hidden gem in the Highspots.com video library, Atlantic Coast Pro Wrestling Super Show from November 2005.  This show maybe classified as a Legends Show but it is full of future stars. Including a very familiar voice on commentary who says a number of problematic lines throughout the show. And Matt Barrentine has all of them written down and is willing to read them aloud with full judgement. Jake & Zane have a ton of fun road & locker room stories about almost all the participates on the show. Making this entire podcast a lot of fun to listen to because you will hear stories that you won't hear anywhere else about Buff Bagwell, Scott Dawson, Midnight Express and many more.

On this episode of HDTGB, comedian & improviser Kevin Delgado returns to discuss the Thanksgiving Day Classic, WWE Survivor Series 1990.  If Zane, Jake & Kevin were lesser comedians they would make far more jokes about this PPV "laying an egg" but instead there is a lot to praise on this episode. Although Kevin still isn't moved to have more pro wrestling in life even after watching Mr. Perfect bump his ass off. To be fair Kevin is still pretty scared from his last episode were we made him watch WCW New Blood Rising.  Jake was super excited to watch Survivor Series 1990 because this is the PPV that he bugged his parents to buy and when they refused in rebellion he watch the PPV preview channel for 5 hours straight in the living room on Thanksgiving Day.

On this very special episode of HDTGB Zane & Jake sit down to discuss the recent debut of the ESPN 30 for 30 entitled “Nature Boy”. Jake is very close to the subject material because of his time working with Ric Flair during his partnership with Highspots.com. Zane is also very close to the subject material because he too jerks off twice a day and has 10 beers a day for years at a time.

This documentary is very much a sanitized version of some of the dark aspects of Flair’s career and personal life. In this podcast Jake tries to go a bit deeper and dig into the psychology of the Nature Boy and why he chooses to do the things that he does. At  times during this podcast Jake's opinion doesn’t paint Ric in the best light but it is an honest and personally portrayal of man who really did sacrifice everything for professional wrestling. A man who lived life as if everyday was his last and searched for love and attention from the whole world.

On this episode of HDTGB comedian Nick Robinson joins Zane & Jake in the chair of torture for WCW’s Halloween Havoc 1991. The Chamber of Horrors match causes most wrestling fans to roll their eyes but for Nick Robinson it gave him massive amounts of anxiety. On top of that Nick was sick, high on cough medicine and drunk when he was trying to watch this PPV at 4am. So, watching the Chamber of Horrors match was the worst experience in Nick Robinson’s entire life. Top that IWC. Luckily, this PPV has some very memorable high points like Steve Austin vs. Dustin Rhodes, Brian Pillman vs. Ricky Morton and Bobby Eaton Carrying Around a Pumpkin.
