Two And A Half Marks

The FIRST Women's Rumble is easily the highlight of the 2018 Royal Rumble. Loaded with pops, returns, and a fantastic winner. The Men's Rumble finishes strong, but there is some serious Filler to prolong this card.

We have the first ever Backlash! The undercard is diverse, with HoFers, classic gimmicks, and definitive Guys. The Triple Main event goes 1/3, but that one is an absolute HOMER: Rock v Austin.

It's the 4-Year Anniversary, the unofficial kick-off of Summer, and the dawn of a new era of markdom. SummerSlam 2016 was a canon event, but how well did it age?

PEAK ATTITUDE ERA WARNING. For the good reasons. An electric opener, corporate DX, and a battle of Canadian Chris' fill up the undercard. And in the main event, a High Wattage Ironman Match.

Maybe it isn't worth Remembering. While this is a solid card for ECW, something is just off, maybe the IMPENDING DOOM clearly on the horizon. The stalwarts are featured, Awesome-Tanaka doesn't miss, and we open with... Spike Dudley?

Back to back New Japan? Your ears don't deceive you, we got the World Cup of Pro Wrestling. A couple of young studs steal the show, the overarching story is intriguing, and you get a nice slice of NJPW. Wait, what do you mean that wasn't the main event?

NJPW makes the trek to the Cow Palace, and they bring the WHOLE gang. We got tag matches galore of various power levels, Hiromu retaining his belt on a broken freakin' neck, and a dream match between Kenny Omega and Cody Rhodes.

This is a crime against humanity. Almost two hours of unwatchable wrestling, culminating with a kick that change the wrestling landscape forever. And not in a good way. BUT THE ITALIANS ARE COOL SO STARRCADE '99 GETS A PASS. Two And A Half Marks is not affiliated with the WWE/WWF/WCW/TNA/AEW/any promotion or any of the professional wrestlers named in this podcast.

We jump across the pond for some NXT Takeover, London edition. Despite only one Northern Islands wrestler (hi, Finn), the UK crowd is a force. Asuka and Joe bring auras, Dash and Dawson shatter dreams, and Bayley does her best John Cena impression.

"The Biggest Party of the Summer" lived up to it's name in 1998. Well, mostly. We have a DOOZY of a Co-Main featuring The Rock, Trips, 'Taker, and Stone Cold in some larger than life matches. We also have a Hair vs. Hair Match, more D'Lo being cool, and a LION'S DEN. Two And A Half Marks is not affiliated with the WWE/WWF/WCW/TNA/AEW/any promotion or any of the profession...

Hey, remember the pandemic? Money In The Bank 2020 was the 2nd PPV without fans, and boy could you tell they were throwing everything at the wall. A cinematic titular match, a chaotic Fatal 4-Way for the tag titles, and certified banger which was clamoring for fans.

Regarded as the last "good" WCW PPV, Spring Stampede '99 does generally deliver. The cruiserweights tear it up, Scott Steiner goes full Big Bad Booty Daddy, and DDP does the thing.

A rare, Hogan-less late 90's PPV, the '97 Bash is oddly just about wrestling. Not too many nWo hijinks, generally good matches, and DDP in the main event! Somebody get Bill DeMott off my screen, though. Two And A Half Marks is not affiliated with the WWE/WWF/WCW/TNA/AEW/any promotion or any of the professional wrestlers named in this podcast.

We are at the tail end of the "Real Sports" era, with a pending Hulk Hogan looming large over Spring Stampede '94. The card certainly feels like a big time event, but the finishes lead a lot to be desired. Nick Bockwinkel, do your job!

It should be illegal to have a boring Rumble. Fortunately for the 2017 version, the variety undercard carries the show. John G1-na, Charlotte's perfection, and an all-time classic bromance.

Purgatory AKA Mid-2010s WWE. Most of it was good/fine, but it still all felt the same. Roman is being forcefully pushed, there is still a Diva's Division, and we are just starting the AJ Styles Era of WWE.

WWE was really in their "Compliment Sandwich" bag here. A great opening Chamber for the Women's Tag Belts, a Kofi-tastic main event, but that's where it ends. When the midcard highlights are two separate beatdowns, you probably need to have a long look in the mirror.

Remember the years of WWE, pre-AEW? Repetitive story telling, matches that were "fine", and Shane McMahon was on TV every week. SummerSlam 2019 just felt like another PPV, but did have Dolph selling for Goldberg, Trish Stratus stealing the show, and the debut of The Fiend. Rest in peace, Bray.

What do you get when the booker man is also a motorcycle fanatic? Well, you get Hog Wild, a show with 0 official ticket sales. The first post-nWo show featured all 3 members in the final hour, which was the WORST of the entire show. Thank god for the undercard.

Well, ECW did have another, less flattering meaning. On the heels of the Montreal Screwjob, November to Remember is some sadness. Bad main events, a chaotic tag match, and stud workers from the 90s put on a solid opening act.

We go WAY back, to an era of heel Teddy Long, synth intros, no WCW, and Jim Cornette looking exactly the same. This years edition features a loaded card with fights for gold, "baby" Sid and Pillman, and finishes that will make your head spin.

We return to the Attitude Era ahead of the Invasion for Judgment Day '01. Overall, pretty fun card: Kane-Trips in a Chain Match, Tag Team Turmoil, and two impressive technical dudes in a 3 Stages of Hell match. And a sad Stone Cold-Taker-McMahon fustercluck main event.

Black and Gold NXT just hit. Even here, with the specter of AEW looming. We got the dawn of Heel Io, we have a BANGER between Street Profits and UE, we even got a table spot in a segment! But we know why we're here: The conclusion of Gargano v Cole.

Nope, not the one that involved Al Capone. This one featured a worthwhile beginning, a memorable end, and what the hell was the middle. Not even the PER of Cool champ D'Lo Brown could save us from an hour of meaningless content. But hey, we got to see Vince get his ass beat, Goldust be over, and Mankind retaining the WWF Title... sort of. Two And A Half Marks is not affiliated with the WWE/WWF...

The only thing "extreme" about Extreme Rules 2018 was how long it was. Despite the novelty of having the IC title in the main event, the rest of the card felt lazy. Styles-Rusev was a treat, the B-Team was fun, KO tried to die, but nothing felt genuine. Just a C+ PPV that went an hour too long.
