On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, we start our dive in the summer of 1998, to watch the infamous BRAWL FOR ALL TOURNAMENT.

On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, we watch another Coliseum Home Video release, this time from 1994, aka the New Generation Era.

On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, we have reached 100 episodes! In honor of that, we journey back to the December 30, 2011 episode of Smackdown, which was Austin's first episode of wrestling.

On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, it's Austin's birthday, and we're celebrating by going back to the wild wild west that was 2005 Smackdown.

On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, we finish our time in 2012, and we see that the love square story between AJ, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, and Kane is no longer about the WWE title, or even about the men. No, it's all about AJ, and she's C R A Z Y. There's special referee drama, gaslighting, projection, a wedding, bad plot structure, and a terrible portrayal of mental health. Won't y...

On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, we head to 2001 to watch one of the most historic nights in Raw history: the night that it was announced that Vince McMahon was now the owner of WCW.
