Staring at the Lights Podcast

We're back again with something a little different. In our impromptu chat last week we spoke about conspiracies and in particular the Paul McCartney conspiracy that he's...well...dead! 

 

This week we thought we'd get into more detail about it. Well Ethan did anyway. As well as looking at who really built the pyramids! 

 

Let us know what you think of these episodes. We've really enjoyed recording them!

Hello everyone. 

 

We've not brought you a podcast for a while. The last one was a round up of the 2019 year in wrestling. 

 

With the current global situation we find ourselves in as well as, lets be honest an underwhelming product to try and get excited and talk about we thought we'd bring something we recorded before all this craziness started. 

 

This is just us having a chat about things we've done with ourselves. 

 

In this episode we discuss playing in bands and a whole host of other stuff as well as running through Hunter. S. Thompsons daily routine! 

0% wrestling content in this episode so you'll probably enjoy it more! 

 

Let us know you thoughts on our twitter feed.

Thanks

This week is the rest of our look back at 2019 

Some real highs in the second half of the year as well as some despairing lows! 

Personal highlight from this is Tom's wonderful analogy about the WWE in Saudi Arabia plus we cant praise Cara Noir enough. 

 

ps. We recorded this episode before he won the Progress title! But we knew he was going to be big anyway!

A more recent match this week

Its Shawn Michaels v Triple H v John Cena from Survivor Series 2009

A great match this with arguably Cena at the height of his stardom in WWE

This week Rob and Ethan watch the infamous Hollywood Hogan v The Rock at WrestleMania 18 

 

Surprising we've only seen bits of this match before so it was great to watch it all the way through. 

The crowd reaction to this match is amazing and is one of the great examples of an organic double turn. Hogan went into this match the heel but left a hero. So much so legend has it he flew from Toronto to Florida and back to pick up his famous Red and Yellow ring gear for the night after on Raw, all on Vince McMahons dime!

This weeks watch along is the first ever Hell in a Cell match 

 

Undertaker v Shawn Michaels at In Your House: Bad Blood 

This was the first time WWE had done this type of match, most fans were used to the old blue steel cage matches rather than the fencing type structure we see to today. 

 

This also saw the debut of the Big Red Machine
