SEASON 2 - EPISODE TWENTY TWO - Elimination Chamber 2015 A new concept in wrestling is difficult to come up with.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE NINETEEN - WCW Sin Going into 2001, WCW was on life support. On the back of a terrible year creatively, and financially, with a series of bookers coming and going, it's fair to say optimism wasn't high. A rebrand of the ppv schedule was designed, around the seven deadly sins. The launch for this concept was the ppv named Sin, and it would feature a fatal four way main event with...

SEASON 2 - EPISODE EIGHTEEN - Royal Rumble 1999 Timing in life is everything isn't it. Given the terrible revelations and at the time of publishing, allegations about Vince McMahon, it is somewhat poorly timed that we would release a podcast looking back at his Royal Rumble win. However, creatively this show is a show that has performed poorly against the now lengthy Royal Rumble history. A Royal...

SEASON 2 - EPISODE FIFTEEN- AEW All Out 2020 2020 was hardly a stealler year for any industry, but with the recovery from covid in its early stages, the wrestling industry had been hit pretty hard.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE TEN- Send in the Clowns Horror and Clowns go together like.....well Wrestling and Clowns! It seems that clowns have been in and around the wrestling world for many decades and whilst many fans will know the name Doink the Clown, many may not have as wide a knowledge of Dave the Clown, or Fukigen Death, or Pogo the Clown.
