Q&Tr

Indie wrestling in the United States can be a bit of a mixed bag. A lot of it feels the same, at least the wrestling that gets noted on social media. Then some you get some weird concept promotions. Occasionally you get actually good pro wrestling companies that use mostly local talent. AAW in 2017 had two territories that used a mix of strategy 1 & strategy 2, with each territory having a different split. On this episode of We Don't Know Wrestling, I talk to Bucky, first-time guest, about the AAW LaSalle shows which have a unique flair in the landscape of US indie wrestling. We go through each show briefly, going off on tangents along the way. Join us on this fun journey where I stumble over my words and sip coffee.

Sometimes in life, you make choices that you regret. The FKAABTs3 will be one of those choices, filled with more of those choices. It is a puzzle wrapped in an enigma.

We wrap up the WDKW year-end awards by going through Promotion of the Year, Match of the Year, and Wrestler of the Year. No panelist or nominee won. Everyone lost. Never forget that. We come close to 5 hours of action so I have timestamped the categories for your pleasure.

Promotion of the Year 00:03:06-01:23:42
Match of the Year 01:23:48-02:40:02
Wrestler of the Year 02:40:27-04:42:11
Banter 04:42:12-END

The boys are back in town to bring you the only year-end award show in wrestling that matters, the Formerly Known As The Always Bury Tanners. Now, technically there have only been 2 FKAABTs but since the original was called the Always Bury Tanners I have decided to retcon the naming structure. The "judges" are myself, Tanner, Dylan Hales, Devon Hales, and New York Mike. We miss TJ dearly.

Anyways, here we are. The awards on this episode are Hoot of the Year, Show of the Year, and Tag Team of the year. What is supposed to be a warm-up for Part 2 becomes a banter session. Can't disclose more for political reasons.

Can't shake him, Tanner is back with first time guest Tom Batista of Military Industrial Suplex fame. A real slow burn of an episode as elements of the race for the Senate in Alabama seeps into the episode. We obviously disgust wrestling and how it is confirmed terrible. Truly nauseating.

Kevin Brown joins me in an episode dedicated to The King. Thank you Nick Gage for all that you have bestowed upon us. The grace you give can never be repaid. We were made in your image. We also talk about what's happening in pro wrestling right now which may involve wrestling being a cesspool.

One of the bookermen of Scenic City Trios, Dylan Hales, joins me to talk the upcoming tournament. We go through all the first round matches as well as the one announced non-tournament match. Really love this card and was glad I could discuss the background of each team and why the pairings are what they are with Dylan.

Knew I needed to do a joshi primer for the WDKW100 but knew I only wanted to do it with one person so glad Alex could come on to discuss some of the candidates for 2017. Granted, you can find a lot more information on her Beginner's Guide to 2017 Joshi but I like to think the show does add some different perspectives for you. 

If you could leave a rating and review on iTunes that would be great!

CLASSIC EPISODE!

Back to the archives to dig up this gem featuring Andrew and Brock discussing the sweetest science, backyard wrestling. Discussing the community around the sport and going through a list of matches that they sent me. All the content was bananas.

Original formula is back as Tanner and I shoot the breeze on the 69th episode of We Don't Know Wrestling. Very philosophical episode as we discuss our growth as not just fans but people. Little light on wrestling as we do briefly talk about the weekend #BigMike is participating in. Not much else though. To imagine this was supposed to be a Halloween episode.
