Armchair Booking Wrestling Podcast

SummerSlam 1992 has been long considered to be the best SummerSlam ever, in large part to the Intercontinental Title battle between brothers-in-law Bret "Hitman" Hart and The British Bulldog, Davey-Boy Smith.  Over 80,000 fans packed into Wembley Stadium in London to watch this match and more.  Come join us as we analyze this card and make our assessment of whether anything should change, and if s...

The original SummerSlam, 1988, where Hogan and Savage go against Dibiase and Andre.  What could have been done different?  Could anything have been done different?  Should anything have been done different?  Steve and Kyle analyze the card that started the summertime pay-per-view tradition, and try to answer those questions, plus more.   Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com...

If you watched WWF between 1984 and 1988, you know Hulk Hogan held a firm grasp on the WWF World Title.  From the time he beat the Iron Shiek for the title, 'til the time he "lost" it to Andre the Giant, no one was even going to come close to dethroning him.  However, what if there were someone more deserving?  Steve and Kyle examine this question as they identify their Top 10 wrestlers who should...

Should Brock Lesnar be considered to be the Real World Champion, or should the designation stay with Ric Flair?  Kyle is a huge mark for Lesnar, Steve is on the side with Flair.  This should be a good, spirited debate.

Tonight, we will discuss The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, and why we feel he is, and always will be, the Real World Champion.  From his start in the business, his rise through the ranks, paying his dues, and proving his worth time after time.  No one can argue his contributions, and his accomplishments to the wrestling business.   Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/armc...

The boos were loud in Pittsburgh that night in January, 2014.  The crowd was not having what they were given.  This was supposed to be the night of Daniel Bryan...but WWE thought otherwise.  Tonight, we analyze Royal Rumble 2014, and how it could have been booked differently.

Scott Steiner, a.k.a. Big  Bad Booty Daddy, a.k.a. Big Poppa Pump, has been a topic of debate for wrestling fans for a long time.  No denying the pedigree, the family connections, or the talent.  In this episode, we discuss Steiner's WCW World Title run, beginning with his background, joining the nWo, the state of WCW in 2000, the time with the belt itself, and the historical ending.   Become a su...

Kyle and Steve had a good time with last week's show, but never quite got to the objective.  This week, they will continue from where they left off, re-booking some of the angles and cards from Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling.   Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/armchair-booking-wrestling-podcast--5530110/support .

On today's episode of Armchair Booking, we will discuss the Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling territory, a.k.a. Jim Crockett Promotions.  The company made an effort to compete with Vince McMahon, and while they certainly had the talent, a series of bad decisions accompanied by tragedy derailed their campaign, and was eventually bought out by Ted Turner, and became World Championship Wrestling.  ...

This is the first of hopefully many episodes discussing professional wrestling from the viewpoint of a longtime fan.  The objective is to discuss wrestling, but from the stance of "what if we did something different?".  The time periods discussed will be everything from historical eras to present day.  Hopefully, you can join the conversation by dialing in, but if not, we will have contact informa...
