Main Event Marks

Let the Marks (Troy & Greg) tell you a tale of when Chris Jericho defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock in the same night to become the 1st ever WWE Undisputed Champion. Years and years before Jericho became "Le Champion," he was just "Y2J" and hadn't quite broken into the "main event" just yet. This changed everything and solidified Jericho has a top World Title contender and actual World Champion. WCW had officially folded and this was just to pour dirt on the corpse of World Championship Wrestling and bury it forever. Sure, other WCW Titles were floating around, but they'd soon be gone as well. Ric Flair had recently popped up at 50% owner of the WWF as Shane & Stephanie McMahon had sold him their share of the company, so we're leading up to the first ever brand split of Ric Flair's Raw and Vince McMahon's SmackDown. This show was actually better than many people give it credit for. The Marks are also joined by 3rd man DW Shugart for this one, having a little fun before Christmas.

Stop me if you've heard this one before! Ric Flair's career is on the line! In this show's defense, it was the first time (of MANY) that "The Nature Boy" put his career on the line, and it certainly upped the stakes for him vs Vader for Vader's WCW Title! It was originally supposed to be Sid Vicious, but he was fired after instigating a bloody fight with Arn Anderson (involving scissors) in the UK, so here comes the WOOOOO! Also on this card is Rick Rude defending the International World Title (redundant) against The Boss after the British Bulldog was fired (yes, both World Title matches had replacement contenders because someone was fired), The Nasty Boys defending their Tag Titles against Sting & Hawk in an unnecessarily long match, Dustin Rhodes defending the US Title against "Stunning" Steve Austin, and THE SHOCKMASTER has a 1 and a half minute match on this show! Plus, the Marks (Troy & Greg) discuss all the stuff you need to know to wrap up 1993 in the wrestling industry.

Vince Russo was all but gone from WCW at this point, but the stench remained. Ric Flair looked dead inside as he limped along as the "CEO of WCW," "Above Average" Mike Sanders was ALSO an authority figure as the Commissioner, and no one cared. Almost every match on this card felt like it should have been held on a Nitro or Thunder. Kevin Nash & DDP were teaming up as the Minimal Effort Given Squad to take on Chuck Palumbo and Shawn Stasiak for the WCW Tag Titles in another jumbled whatever of a match. The big, built-up, Straight Jacket Caged Heat main event between Booker T and Scott Steiner for the World Title even felt lacking. But don't worry. Our motto is "We watched it so that you don't have to!" and our breakdown of the utter trash that is this card will be serving you plenty of laughs for Thanksgiving. Gobble, gobble!

On November 4, 1996 on WWF Monday night Raw, Stone Cold Steve Austin didn't know who he was f***ing with (according to Brian Pillman). The story of this entire (EXTREMELY controversial) episode of Raw was that Austin felt disrespected by Pillman during the previous week's in-ring segment, he reaggravated Pillman's shattered ankle, and now, Austin was driving from the Cincinnati Airport to Brian's home to break in and beat him up...again! However, Pillman said, "When Austin 3:16 meets Pillman 9mm glock, I'm gonna blast his sorry ass straight to Hell!" The Loose Cannon was waiting with his wife, Melanie, and a loaded handgun. The action (or lack thereof) in the ring wasn't much to care about, but the action in suburban Cincinnati left A LOT for the Marks (Troy & Greg) to discuss on this pre-Thanksgiving bonus show!

It's the Deadly Game, where nothing is as it seems and no one can be trusted! Look, let's be honest, here...there was a ton of star power in the WWF in 1998 and they were crapping gold wherever they went. This was entertaining as all hell with a HUGE swerve at the end, but if you're looking for good wrestling, this ain't the show for you. The Marks (Troy & Greg) remember this show and this time period fondly, so this podcast was a labor of love for them. This was the first official Survivor Series without one single traditional Survivor Series elimination match on it; instead going with a one-night tournament (BRO!!!) for the vacant WWF World Heavyweight Title (WrestleMania IV style).

TNA Genesis 2006, at the time, was TNA's highest selling pay-per-view domestically, selling just over 60,000 buys and beating previously set record of 55,000 at Bound For Glory 2006 (now in the archives). No doubt, this was due to everyone wanting to see Kurt Angle make his in-ring debut for TNA and have the dream match the Marks (Troy & Greg) never thought they'd see against Samoa Joe! These two guys tore the house down! But, before that, we get to see one of the weirdest World Title switches in history, as Sting defends the NWA Title against "The Monster" Abyss. Also, Christian Cage takes on AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels defends the X-Division Title against Chris Sabin, and much more!

It's THE GRAVEST CHALLENGE as Hulkamania goes up against The Deadman on the 1-year anniversary of The Undertaker's debut in the WWF! And the Marks (Troy & Greg) are all here for it! The undercard isn't all that great, and the title match doesn't even close the show. However, there's enough nostalgia on this show to keep anyone interested! The only questions are...why is Ric Flair opening the show? Why did the WWF never follow through with Ric Flair vs Hulk Hogan? And did The Undertaker REALLY hurt Hulk Hogan on the Tombstone, or was the Hulkster workin' us, brother!?

A Night Of Terror And Suspense! This one was a pretty damn good event, but it follows a few very basic Halloween Havoc rules. 1. Rey Mysterio has an amazing match. 2. Hulk Hogan has a horrible match. 3. The event ends randomly because the timing was off. But, there were some great matches on this show, some comedic stuff to laugh at, and all-in-all, this was a fun ass show! Go 25 years back in time with the Marks (Troy & Greg) to relive this spooky event that set up for some great stuff for the rest of '96 and part of '97!

WCCW was a "coffin on rollerskates" (to quote Tony Schiavone) in 1986 and certainly in 1988. Attendance was way down, the Von Erichs were tragically falling apart, original ideas were scarce, and the territories as a whole were just failing, miserably. However, there was SOME fun stuff (and funny stuff) to talk about from World Class in the late '80s! The Marks (Troy & Greg) are changing it up and covering 2 shows from 2 years for the first time ever for this BONUS CONTENT! The first show is from 10-25-86, where Fritz Von Erich officiated a Steel Cage match between Bruiser Brody and Abdullah the Butcher from the Cotton Bowl. For the second show on 10-01-88, Jerry "The King" Lawler puts his AWA World Title on the line against Kerry Von Erich's WCWA World Title in a Title Unification match.

We're bound for glory with Total Nonstop Action! While the Marks (Troy & Greg) ironically cover a lot of bad/funny shows, this one was fantastic and possibly the greatest Bound for Glory in TNA history. Hop in the Way Back Machine with the Marks and go a decade and a half back in time to Kurt Angle's TNA PPV debut as the special enforcer for the main event. Also, there is a phenomenal (pun) Tag-Team Title match in a cage, a 4-way Monster's Ball match, and lots more!
