  • Super Brawl III
    We're back with a "Not Just WrestleManias" show all about WCW Super Brawl III, coming to you from Asheville, NC, February 21, 1993. Vader and Sting venture into the White Castle of Fear, located on the highway out next to the Chik Fil A of Anxiety and the Burger King of Trepidation. Plus, Cactus Jack chases Paul "Mr. Wonderful" Orndorff with a poop shovel, and much more! Rich and Sting both sum it up well when they say, "Huh?"

  • WrestleWar 89
    It's another "Not Just WrestleManias," another barn burner of a WCW show, and another all-time classic Flair vs. Steamboat match! Rich and Tim gawk at Ricky's chubby cowboy baby, wonder about the profitability of waxing salons on Bad Street, USA, test out some new nicknames for Michael "P.S." Hayes, and ask, "What the hell's the Iron Sheik doing here?" To quote Jim Ross, "There's gonna be some fines levied for this one!"

  • WrestleMania 22
    Rich & Tim go "Big Time" and talk WrestleMania 22, live from Chicago, April 2, 2006! Mick Foley and Edge get philosophical and study Friedrich Nietzsche together, and we call in a Silver Alert on Ric Flair's behalf, impersonate Vince McMahon's conversations with God, and take WWE to task for ripping off Single White Female. We also answer some listener mail about our Hall of Fame 2023 picks, and barely make it out alive after viewing AEW Double or Nothing. (Seriously, that PPV was way too long.)

  • Profiles in Bad-Assery: Demolition
    It's a special "Profiles in Bad-Assery" edition of All the WrestleManias, and we're profiling the Ax and the Smash(er), the walking disaster -- Demolition! We delve into the Satanic Panic of the 80s, celebrate the musical genius of Jimmy Hart, and glorify brutality and violence for its own sake. We'll tell you all about the histories of Ax and Smash and watch their 1989 Coliseum Home Video, all while singing along to their epic metal theme song. Better say your Act of Contrition, then listen and send your comments to us on Twitter @WrestleManiaPod or by email to [email protected]. Thanks for listening!
