Before we dive into the episode, have you seen our badass logo? Awesome designer Trais Colton Barhaug rocked that for us and you should go support him now! T-shirts, pins, and stickers are on their way.

Thanks to Justin’s long time friend, Kwalified, a diehard wrestling fan and dope emcee hailing from Hawaii, for our great intro song.

We finally got to Stone Cold on this podcast… but we actually did so back in August. Life got the better of Justin and podcasts a’plenty didn’t get finished of posted(stay tuned for another drop tomorrow on The Farchive feed). So, while The Condemned is not a horror film, it’s scary how long it took Justin to finally post this shit!

Don’t worry, though, we have stuff in the works for the next few months and some changes in the format so that when Justin inevitably runs behind the convo isn’t about non-current “current events”.

For now, enjot some awesome matches and a fun film starring Steve Austin.

Leon White – aka Vader – was one of the greatest big men in pro wrestling history. Sadly, his acting career wasn’t quite as successful. But watching the nonsensical 1995 live action adaptation of one of Japan’s longest running and most popular manga series gave us the opportunity to indulge in some truly stellar wrestling.

Enjoy our discussion of Fist of the North Star and 3 great matches from Big Van Vader in three different promotions with three distinctly different styles.

Nathan Jones wrestled for a short time in WWE, but wrestled for a little while before that. Most of us know him more for his actijng roles, though. As he reprises his role of Rictus Erectus in Furiosa, we visit his memorable role in Mad Max: Fury Road.

You’ll note that after the first 52-ish minutes, there’s a soundclip of Nathan in the film. That is because the recording service we used blipped and we had to log in to a new recording room to finish the podcast, so forgive any disjointedness. We still think you’ll enjoy this one!

Before we kick off this episode, we’d like to congratulate @malikibeats on Twitter/X for winning our swag giveaway! Thanks for the support.

Speaking of thanks, we’ve got to thank this episode’s guest, indie wrestling star and long time member of Young Dumb & Broke, the one and only Charlie Tiger, who you can follow on Twitter at twitter.com/charlietiger_ and Instagram at instagram.com/thecharlietiger_/.

Charlie wanted to talk one of his all-time faves, “The Whole F’in Show” Rob Van Dam. He and Doug picked some iconic matches for us all to discuss and Doug introduces us all to 1997’s Bloodmoon, in which RVD “stars” as one of the main villains victims. Charlie shares some fun insight, Doug plays historian, and Justin… well… he’s there, too.

Enjoy the show and remember to follow Charlie so you can check out his various escapades and matches all over North America and beyond!

It’s time to dive into Dave Bautista aka WWE’s Batista (guess the “u” was too confusing for Vince). The Jerks talk two of his top rated matches and his silver screen star turn in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy. But before we jump in, Justin talks Mania coming to his city and the events he’ll be attending. Doug also highlights some of the shows he’s most excited to catch online this weekend.
