Finn Bálor. Man what a twisty, turny and ultimately fruitful time he has had in WWE. He built his legacy in Japan and came over as a huge deal in WWE, starting in NXT and building the Black & Gold brand from his demonic fingers to his main roster run thrusted into the main event scene before carving his path back from injury all the way to WrestleMania title matches and eventual leadership of The Judgment Day.

On this episode, the chaps are joined by their fifth member, old friend of the pod and pro wrestler Tig to discuss Finn's run in the WWE!

It's the most romantic time of the year as we mark this Valentine's Day with a very important topic: Who do we as fans ships wrestlers with other wrestlers? Riordan is on hosting duties as him and Sam go over the much debated topic of the internet fandom and wonder if love can truly bloom in the squared circle.

NOTE: as we clarify in the episode, we're shipping the on-screen characters and gimmicks, not the people portraying them!

We discussed the event as part of the last episode on Channel 4, but now it's time to finally talk about this iconic match in great detail! This Match Focus is on Cactus Jack vs Triple H. Sam and Riordan chat about the story that led to this match, the long rivalry of the two and the brutality of the match.

The WWF was one of the big pop culture touchstones of the late 90's. With that comes vested interest from broadcasters to bring it to a wider television audience. Sky Sports were the main channel of WWF in the UK for a long time, but only to a select few who had access to cable television. Come late 1999, Channel 4 wanted to bring the product to terrestrial television for the first time and struck a deal with the WWF, only for them to instantly regret that decision. Find out why as Sam and Riordan discuss the weird time of Channel 4 and the World Wrestling Federation.

2025. A weird year. A very testing and different year in Pro Wrestling. A lot of things changed but a lot of things came from it. There was good though and this year is celebrated on the 6th Annual Sweet Chinwag Awards. Riordan, Sam and a pre-recorded Dan give you their favourites, though quite shrunk down from previous years due to them taking a long break in the middle!

With the end of the year in sight, we need to discuss John Cena. His retirement year, his best moments, matches and rivalries. We're not alone, as we are joined by our dear friends Tyler El Guapo and The Good Bad Bruv Podcast!

We wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and we'll see you next year!

To cap off the Black History Month portion of the month (took a little longer than a month... Sorry!, Sam and Riordan sit down and have a proper discussion about Tony Atlas. They go over the good, the bad and then decide whether he is a good wrestler and deserves his placement in the Hall of Fame. It's a crazy way to end this stint of episodes.

Swerve Strickland's career so far has been so varied and prolific, that he has more than earned his status as a main event player. In this episode, we go over his early life, his start in wrestling, the indie days, Lucha Underground and his runs in WWE and AEW.
