The Monumental Podcast

We are back with Hollywood Hulk Hogan's "Hollywood Hulk Hogan" we start with the steroid scandal and then go through the nWo era! Everything from Jesse Ventura to the 3 Ninjas is covered!

Looking for thoughts on the big Piper, Sting or Warrior matches? Too bad he ignores them all!

We are back with more of Hulk Hogan's memoir, Hollywood Hulk Hogan by Hollywood Hulk Hogan! We continue through this book and compare it to the only other book we possibly can, The Holy Bible. What does Hogan's book have in common with biblical scholarship? Find out inside! Also WrestleMania, No Holds Barred, Spielberg and more!

We are back after our 3rd annual trip to Game Changer Wrestling's Tournament of Survival! It was a crazy night of death matches including encounters with the Great Sasuke, KENTA, as well as the GCW crew of Nick Gage and more! We run down the whole show and so much more! We should be back soon with more Hogan.

We are back with more of Hulk Hogan's completely truthful memoir! Learn all of the real facts about Hogan's early WWF career! Learn something about Mike Sharpe that is actually true!

We are back to break down Hollywood Hulk Hogan's first autobiography "Hollywood Hulk Hogan" (with Michael Jan Friedman.) This is Hogan's "worked" memoir as he would release another later on that told the "real story." That one was mostly bullshit too! Join us as Hogan tells us about his childhood, engages in ridiculous fat shaming and breaks into the business!

If you have the book we'll be reading up to page 135 for next weekend. Feel free to submit fake quotes I can fool Hulkamatt with next time. Full credit to the 372 Pages podcast for that idea.

Also I might be wrong about doubting the Hogan/Matsuda broken leg story. I'd read it didn't happen but Ron Fuller seemed to think it had? I'm not sure!

We are back with Erick Stevens talking his "big" push in ROH and why it flopped, plus hilarious stories or burials involving nearly everyone! Erick has tremendous insight into what went wrong with his FIP Championship push, and a slightly counterintuitive idea about how it should have been done. We go through the death of his push and why he left the company and wrestling.

Plus a fantastic story about Nigel, Roderick Strong and the Hangm3n, hilarious stories about Necro Butcher, Kenny Omega, the Briscoes, burials of Delirious, Justice Pain, Aries, Davey Richards, Elgin and so many more. I have never laughed more in two hours. Thank you so much for doing the show Erick.

We are back with Erick Stevens, the 2007 Wrestling Observer Rookie of the Year! In part 1 we talk how Erick got into the business, how he met Roderick Strong followed by some incredible Roddy stories, how horrible the Florida indies were in the aughts, tape trading, FIP, Steve Madison, and his introduction into ROH with the Gang Wars of 2007. Erick is incredibly open about his career, the guys he liked, the guys he can't stand and what he thinks went right and wrong. This is part 1 because I was laughing so hard my USB cable slipped out.

We are back, this time to talk about Nigel McGuinness, the undisputed greatest champion in ROH history! The 90's Rememberer Nut Bunnies joins Hulkamatt to talk Nigel, his heel turn, Gabe Sapolsky's questionable booking in 2008, Adam Pearce's questionable booking in 2009 and so much more! Lots of talk about one of the most interesting year's in Ring of Honor.

We are back with the history of TNA! We go in depth on Jonny Fairplay's TNA run and a bit about his pre TNA wrestling career! Learn about his crazy contract with TNA, how he got it, how TNA immediately violated it and much more!
