This week, we're joined by THE THIRD MAN Brian Isley for a SummerSlam Blind Ranking! Brian will list 5 SummerSlam PPV events, and Nick and Vaughn will rank them 1-5 ... the catch is, Nick and Vaughn have no idea what SummerSlam event is coming next.

1 hr 6 min - CLASSIC EPISODE: 'Hitman Hart: Wrestling With Shadows' Deep Dive
Recorded June 2023.
The Third Man Brian Isley makes his return to the podcast to dive deep into one of the greatest wrestling documentaries of all time, "Hitman Hart: Wrestling With Shadows." Bret Hart was filmed from the fall of 1996 through the end of 1997 and this documentary sees it all through. Ever hear of the Montreal Screwjob? The guys dive deep into it all. "Bret Hart recounts his life from his youth, through the start of his career and his years in the WWF, up to the present day. Bret discusses the high and lows of his career and shows the world of professional wrestling from a wrestler's perspective."

2 hr - 401: WWF SummerSlam '97 Deep Dive
This week, we head to the greatest year in wrestling, 1997, and dive deep into SummerSlam from East Rutherford, New Jersey. If Bret Hart didn't beat The Undertaker for the WWF Championship, he would never wrestle on U.S. soil ever again! But one thing - Shawn Michaels was the special referee!
If Stone Cold Steve Austin didn't win the Intercontinental Championship from Owen Hart, he'd pucker up and kiss him smack on the booty. If the British Bulldog didn't beat Ken Shamrock, he'd eat dog food.
Stipulations galore at SummerSlam 1997!

2 hr 2 min - 399: WWF InVasion '01 Deep Dive
On July 22, 2001, WCW and ECW defeated the WWF in the Inaugural Brawl. It would be cool if it meant former big WCW names coming in to join, but Stone Cold Steve Austin's second heel turn in four months highlighted exactly what was to come from a failed "Invasion" angle. Despite the factory reset by introducing ECW, this event showcased just how ridiculous the entire thing was to look back on.
Join us as we dive deep into all the happenings of WWF InVasion in this episode!

1 hr 52 min - CLASSIC EPISODE: WWF Fully Loaded '00 Deep Dive
Recorded July 2021.
It was a Triple Main Event as Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, and Chris Benoit were the underdogs heading into matches with WWF icons Undertaker, Triple H, and The Rock, respectively. WWF was absolutely on fire at this point, and some of the booking during this event made it clear they could do whatever they wanted, the fans were not going to abandon their fandom. Live from the Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas, it was probably the best Fully Loaded pay-per-view out of the three total.

1 hr 45 min - CLASSIC EPISODE: WWF Stars and Stripes Challenge on July 4, 1993
31 years ago today, Yokozuna challenged anyone and everyone to bodyslam him on the U.S.S. Intrepid; professional wrestlers, NFLers, NHLers, anyone with a pulse, really! And nobody was able to do it.
That is, until "Made in the U.S.A.", Lex Luger, flew in on a helicopter and faced the challenge. Was it a hip toss!? You be the judge.
