The Pink and Black Playback episodes

  • Lonesome Dove: The Outlaw Years episodes 17, 18, & 22

    *Note: We found some conflicting info regarding episode numbers. According to IMDB the episode we call 16 is  17 and what we call 17 is 18.


    Well, we did it, we finished this dismal piece of cowboy fiction. No one made us do this, but damn it, when we commit, we commit.

    We've got a gang out for revenge, a gang out to rip off Oliver Stone, and an impressively boring final episode where everyone just sort of fucks off out of town.
    On the positive side of things, our 4th or 5th favourite member of the Hart clan shows up, Smith Hart! Yes, in a brief cameo he appears as a background tough guy.  We're still broken hearted it wasn't Bruce, though. We also name a bunch of better pieces of cowboy media we'd rather watch.

    Next episode we get to go back to complaining about 30-year-old wrestling matches, HUZZAH!

  • King of the Ring 1994 and WWE RAW / Main Event taping September 26, 2022

    On this episode, we check out Bret and Diesel's first PPV scuffle. This is the KotR where Jam-up guy, Art Donovan shows up on commentary and it's somehow even worse than you've heard.

    Then we run down the live taping of RAW and Main Event when WWE stopped in Edmonton last month. See, we don't just sit around and yell about wrestling in Young's condo, sometimes we go out and yell at marks in person.

  • The Hart Foundation vs Killer Bees May 31, 1986 Hart Foundation vs The Brain Busters SummerSlam 89

    It's the return of chubby-faced young Bret in this all tag team episode of the Pink and Black Playback. when men were men, the tights were tight, and the bees were also men.

    We try to recall anything at all about the original twin magic team, The Killer Bees. After that Dillon loses it when his two fathers Bret Hart and Arn Anderson face off in a SummerSlam classic.
    Stick around for some news about Bret's Canada Walk of Fame induction and our plans to cover the September 26th taping of Raw which we will be attending live.

  • Wrestlemania 12 Iron Man Match and AEW All Out 2022 media scrum

    Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those sharks come in and… they rip you to pieces.


    But first, we talk about the classic Wrestlemania 12 Iron Man Match between Bret and Shawn.

    Thanks for tuning in, marks!

  • WCW Thunder, Dec. 9,1999 and Starrcade 99

    1999 was a hell of a year, and maybe not in the best of ways for Bret Hart or his fans.


    Today we look back at a key moment in the life and career of Bret Hart, specifically the last leg of his WCW run. First, we explore his blink-and-you'll-miss-it tag team title win with Goldberg. Then we witness the fateful kick that ended Bret's career at Starrcade 99 not even two weeks later.

    Afterwards, Dillon puts on the tinfoil hat and tells what's going on inside AEW's locker room, and the boys sneak in a rant about Woodstock 99 and the related Netflix documentary.


    Come for the poorly thought-out wrestling commentary. Stay for the Shakespearean references.

  • Lonesome Dove: The Series

    Howdy, Owlcoot!


    During his time off between the iron man match with Shawn and his remarkable 1996 run in the fed Bret Hart appeared in a syndicated western TV show produced in Alberta. Today we examine episodes 17 and 21 of the first season of Lonesome Dove: The Series and meet trapper, stalker, and owner of a sweet jacket, Luther Root. You'll learn cowboy slang and hear about Young's recent run-in with credit card fraud along the way.

    Boy, aren't you lucky?

    PS: we are moving to an every other Monday/Tuesday upload schedule. Expect our next episode to arrive in your feed on August 29 or 30.

  • Wrestlemania X7 and Backlash 2006

    We got another instant classic for you on the back half of our two-part Vinny Mac retrospective. come and poo-poo the old man with us.


    First up we have Vince McMahon vs Shane McMahon and a cavalcade of goofballs including a very boob-ily Trish, a very referee-ily Mick, and a very Zombie-ily Linda.

    After that we Have Vince and Shane McMahon vs Shawan Micheals and God, they don't use his indie name but I'm pretty sure it's Yahweh of the Abrahamic traditions. This kid can work, strap a rocket to his back and push him to the moon.

    Then, just for fun, Dillon goes over some of Vince's greatest (meaning worst) hits during his battle with the territories.

    Don't worry, we'll be back next time with our regularly scheduled Bret coverage.

  • Wrestlemania 26 and Money in the Bank 2011

    Welcome to our first Vince McMahon spectacular! It's just a regular episode but we spend as much of it as possible going off on Vincent Kennedy McMahon.


    First, we watch Bret Vs, Vince, at Wrestlemania 26 (not 23 like the intro might have you believe) and what might be the last Bruce Hart payday in the fed. a sad day, indeed. After that, we check out the best WWE match since Bret and Stone Cold did their double turn. John Cena Vs. CM Punk at MitB 2011.
    Then, if that's not enough, we crap all over VKM for 20 minutes cus it's damn fun.

  • Survivor Series 95 and WCW Thunder August 13, 1998

    So much gold on today's episode.


    First, we check out Bret vs. DIesel at Survivor Series 95 for the WWF Heavyweight strap and then Bret vs. Lex Luger for the WCW United States Champion.

    Stick around after that where Dillon whines about nuance and we find out if Buff Daddy is really the stuff (spoiler: he is not).
