How Did This Get Booked?!?

Hey do you remember the Lizard Bros?  On this episode of HDTGB your favorite podcast tag team talk about the 1991 TV Pilot Tag Team starring Jesse “The Body” Ventura & “Rowdy” Roddy Piper. This is the tv pilot that was briefly mentioned in the Jesse Ventura episode and the same tv pilot that lead to Jesse’s political career. A lot of questions need to be answered in this episode. Would it have been better to have Jesse Ventura’s political career OR 4 seasons of the 90’s cop show drama Tag Team available on Netflix? Is Roddy Piper a good actor? And can you use a irish whip & a double arm ringer in a real fight?

On this episode of HDTGB comedian Crystalle Ramey joins Zane & Jake to discuss the long and the short of TNA’s Victory Road 2011 PPV.  Crystalle, who may or may not be a poet knows very little about pro wrestling. She claims to have over heard the name Junkyard Dog some where in a conversation somewhere. Luckily TNA does a great job with their recap intro videos and Crystalle knows right off the bat to hate Dixie Carter. This PPV is know for it’s main event that only lasts 88 seconds which after watch this almost 3 hour long PPV was much welcomed. Hopefully, HDTGB fan base can quote Sting in agreement by saying,” I Agree”. \

On this episode of HDTGB comedian/musician Normal Dennis returns to join Zane & Jake as they discuss WWE's 4th installment of the In Your House PPV series, The Great White North. Since the last time Dennis was on the podcast he has dipped his toe in the professional wrestling pool and has watched a little bit of it in his spare time. Although he hasn't seen much wrestling he still has seen enough to know that In Your House 4 is not good. In fact, some people who may or may not be Vince McMahon would call this PPV, "Horrible". Say what you will about the PPV it is a historic one. This PPV includes the debut of a future hall of famer in Goldust, the shortest IC Title reign ever and the most no sells of a DDT on a wrestling show ever. Please note that this episode of HDTGB may not be as awesome as Jerry Lawler's mullet was on this PPV but it's still pretty good.

On this episode of HDTGBm, comedian Lauren Ansley joins Zane & Jake to discuss WWA’s 2nd PPV offering, The Revolution. This one is a rough one not because of the wrestling which is actually pretty good. And not because Tantric is the opening act for this PPV. True Story. But because Jake & Zane are extremely off their game. Which raises a couple of questions like,  Has the CTE monster finally gotten to Jake and has all the PBR finally rotted Zane’s brain? Luckily Lauren (Or Laurel as Jake called her in the show intro) is here to give her two cents on this PPV which reminds her of prom night. From Beginning to End.

On this episode of HDTGB pro wrestler & former Minnesota resident, Sojo Bolt joins Zane & Jake to discuss a NBC TV movie of the week, The Jesse Ventura Story. This movie was made & aired less than 8 months after Ventura won the election to become the governor of Minnesota and it shows. Jake did more research for this podcast than the writers of this movie did for the script. But the most disturbing part of the whole film is they got an actor with the least amount of accent to play a guy with the most amount of accent. 

After the discussion of the movie ends the trio tries to answer the real question,” Was Jesse Ventura a good Governor”? Sojo actually lived in Minnesota during Ventura’s tenure and even voted for him. But when she looks back she recalls a incident when Ventura’s government cuts affected her personally. Jake on the other hand comes to this podcast with a manifesto level of documents & print outs that would make Ventura blush. 

Don’t buy it, then listen to this weeks episode of How Did This Get Booked ?!?

On this episode of HDTGB comedian & improvisor, Kevin Delgado sits down with Zane & Jake to discuss WCW’s replacement for Road Wild, New Blood Rising.  Kevin’s only prior knowledge of pro wrestling was the death of Eddie Guerrero & Chris Benoit. So, making him watch WCW’s New Blood Rising completes the pro wrestling tragedy hat trick. In typical WCW 2000 fashion the PPV is named after a faction that has already dissolved before the PPV. This PPV comes off the heels of the infamous and in Jake’s opinion very creative Bash at the Beach PPV shoot promo by Vince Russo. So, this is at the height of Russo’s hubris and it signals the upcoming fall of WCW. Kevin constantly questions the rules or lack there of in pro wrestling and Jake & Zane have no answers. Mostly because the Canadian Rule Book wasn’t handy.   Luckily though this show is book ended by some very solid matches because who doesn’t love Tank Abbott.

Ever since it was released every one of Jake & Zane’s non wrestling friends have been asking, “What do you think about the new Netflix original series, GLOW”? Instead of answering everyone individually these two decided to use their moderately sized platform to answer that question all at once in detail. Put quite simply this is the best thing these two will ever talk about on this podcast. BUT instead of gushing over this fantastic program for over an hour, which they could have done very easily. Jake found one of the only negative reviews for Netflix series and picked it a part piece by piece. Some what out of spite because the review spoiled one of the major plot twist in the first episode WITHOUT GIVE A SPOILER ALERT.  Speaking of, SPOILER ALERT this episode contains SPOILERS so do not listen to this episode without watching GLOW on Netflix which we highly recommend that you do because it’s awesome.

Every country can only have 1 king but this podcast can have as many fools as it wants. On this episode of HDTGB comedian, Andy Vanderveer sits down with Zane & Jake to discuss the tournament that started it, King of the Death Match 1995. Andy grew up a non fan of pro wrestling in the Charlotte, NC area so his exposure to pro wrestling was limited to Lex Lugar showing up at his public pool one day. Needless to say King of the Death Match melted his mind. You know what they say, once you see Terry Funk get hit with a chainsaw you don’t go back. As a reminder no barbed wire crucifix were harmed in the filming of the tournament.

On this episode of HDTGB comedian, Freddy G sits down with Zane & Jake to discuss a “legendary” Legends Show. You know it’s a bad sign when the “Man Scout” Jake Manning has one of the better matches on a show and has one of the better bodies on the card.  This show was a rushed job, throw away, giveaway, barely thought out, forgettable show. Unlike the other show that Vince Jr. was running across town that next day. In fact the hotel where this show took place was far more over than this show would ever be. This wrestling show is only notable because it is the first ever wrestling show that Freddy G has ever seen.

Zane & Jake roll into this podcast much like Alfonse and his porn cast of characters did in that deserted Mexican town. There is no special guest comedian this week because like the stranger in the beginning of the movie says, “Too much pussy is bad for your heart”.  Hopefully some of the scares in this movie aren’t bad for your heart but rested assure that this podcast is good for your belly… laughs. Not only do we ask How Did This Get Booked but we also figure out How to Book the Remake.
