That Don't Work for Me, Brother

This week we’re talking Christmas in pro wrestling—when the holidays went off the rails. From ECW’s Xanta Clause, the most violent Santa to ever disgrace a bingo hall, to the classic WWF Star Wars events that turned Christmas into a ticket-selling tradition, we break down how wrestling has always used the holidays to pop a crowd.

Before the flame-tattooed head and the ECW cult status, there was a freakishly agile big man redefining what size and speed could look like in pro wrestling. In Part 1, we dig into Bam Bam Bigelow’s early career—from the territories to WWF—breaking down the raw athleticism, the look, the big matches, and how “The Beast from the East” became one of the most influential big men of all time.

This week on That Don’t Work for Me, Brother, Big Sug and Big Love crank the clocks back to the filthiest, loudest stretch of the Attitude Era as we dive into the chaos factory known as The New Age Outlaws. Road Dogg’s mic game, Billy Gunn’s absurd athleticism, crotch chops, gimmick reinventions, tag team chemistry freakishly ahead of its time—it's all on the table.

This week on That Don’t Work For Me, Brother, we dive head-first into the wild, chaotic rise of the most unlikely star ECW ever produced — Mikey freakin’ Whipwreck.
