We Work Stiff

Yep. We actually did it. To make sure we could give our fans an episode before Dave left for Japan we decided to close our first Being The Elite story arc with an epsiode dedicated to BTE young boy - Flip Gordon.

Although young in the business, and prone to put cereal into milk, Flip's story, as shown in his match at the BOSJ in 2018, is actually kind of telling for where wrestling is going.

Match: Will Osprey v Flip Gordon, NJPW Best Of The Super Juniors XXV - Day 13, June 3rd 2018

In preparation for the conclusion to our All In story arc (with a special episode next week), the Stiff Boys get together to talk all things Being The Elite.

From it's origins, to when they first discovered it, the boys dive deep into what Josh calls 'The Mad Max of Wrestling YouTube Vlogs' (don't worry, no-one knew what he was talking about) to chart its rise from a simple insight into the lives of the Young Bucks to now being the most powerfully concise storytelling device in all of wrestling.

The Stiff Boys return to the Big Fight Feel with this redemption pod on Cody. Not only for his career, but, for ours.

Listen as they go All In on the man largely responsible for one of the biggest fight feelings in recent memory. The career of Cody is in the spotlight as he challenges for his fathers belt and this makes for a perfect companion podcast for this historic moment.

Charting his rise from WWE Sports Entertainer to NWA Pro-Wrestler, the lads use the structure of the match to question Cody's wrestling influences, the challenge of following in the footsteps of greatness, his rise to stardom, the similarities between Cody and the Bucks, and talk a lot about early 90's WCW. Josh is in heaven! Dave makes a bold character comparison and Redd asks a question no one was prepared for.

A new week. A new show. We think that this will be the last of the big changes for We Work Stiff. Thanks for going on this journey of evolution with us - we hope you dig it.

We are now moving to fortnightly Big Fight Feel podcasts - our new banner podcast - but to make sure you get your fix of Stiff, we are putting a roundtable podcast format in between Big Fights. The Go Home Stiff show. These are the build shows that sell you on our PPV (BFF) if you will.

This week, as we prepare for a Cody 'Big Fight Feel' we gather to discuss the awesomeness of sunshine, rainbow and inflatable dick positivity that was All IN. We review the show in our fashion, talk the big stories, the great moments and set about grounding what will be a great Cody BFF.

So, download, listen, join us, like, subscribe, share, comment, suggest - all that good modern social media stuff.

Follow us @weworkstiff on all the socials.

Your friendly neighbourhood conspiracy bookers are back. With a new format. A new name. A new direction. The Big Fight Feel.

Yeah, we know, that's a lot of changes. We will explain in the podcast, but, rest assured, we are working to make this podcast the best it can be.

We were so inspired by going deep into the #ALLIN guys that we realised we could do so much more. This is that. Sort of. Well, we are working towards it.

This week, we are going All In and throwing our own Superkick party, exploring the Young Bucks career whilst breaking down one of their key NJPW matches. It's new, it's different. But if you liked our other stuff, this is just more of that good stuff.

In the final instalment of the 2018 Stiff-1 the boys are back to break down the highs and lows, the big fight feels and the clubbing blows from each of their illustrious boy stables.

In this, Dave drops a surprise revelation regarding the Switchblade, Redd absolutely buries one his boys and Josh rejoices in not having to talk about one stable in particular for a while.

The lads also offer their favourite matches, boys and stories, announce the Stiff-1 winner, outline the future direction of the Balls Deep series and offer up the Podcast's G1 MVP and Match of the 'tournament'. One is obvious, the other.... surprising.

"Warriors Way" - Matthew Lee Massie

The Stiff boys are back like a strong Ishii comeback. From selling the mid point fatigue to now riding high and anticipating the finals, Dave, Josh and Redd check back in to lend their thoughts on the G1 with 4 events remaining.

Listen along as Josh goes weirdly positive, defends the wonderful women of wrestling twitter, and gets the boys to go deep into the psychology behind modern wrestling, heels, and the Era of Choice. Redd says what could be the most out of context offensive thing ever uttered on the program and Dave sits back, offers some advice for the young boy system and then basks in the glory of a boy stable run akin to Okada's title reign.

As the G1 draws ever closer to its thrilling climax, the Stiff Boys gather for a roundtable discussion on the Stiff-1 just past the mid point. Going All In on each others stables the boys discuss the highs and low blows of the 'tournament' so far.

In this, Josh loses all perspective and finds a new favourite wrestler, Dave continues his Jay-1 talk and Redd explains the wrestling fatigue that can hit you when you commit to watching all the undercard tags.

Plus, we talk about the podcast, the possible plans for future Balls Deep episodes and give everyone an insight into our wrestling philosophies - it is basically an episode where we riff about stiff.

It's nearing the mid way point of this years G1 and the boys are still going Stiff.

The episode starts out with Dave turning the G1 into the Jay-1, Redd boasting about his amazing comeback run and Josh being over the BCOG's shenanigans. But by getting together, talking it all out for over 2 hours of nights 4 trough 7 story and match reviews, Dave declares his love for two grown men, Redd comes around on one of his boys, and Josh tries to adopt a boy who best represents Stiff.

Who and what are they talking about? You will have to get stiff to find out.

In the midst of an amazing G1, the Stiff Boys drop by to review the first 3 nights of action.

Hear Dave wax lyrical about the Perverts, and go as deep into Jay White as time would allow. Follow along as Josh focuses on his best bout generators in Omega, Suzuki and Sabre Jnr. And listen to Redd try and avoid talking teams by going down a Tinder rabbit hole that appears to lead back to Sanada and Yano.

Like in the Going Balls Deep series, the boys focus deeply on the stories of the G1 and then try to make predictions off of these. Who will win? Why? And what does this mean for the boys stables? Get Stiff to find out.
