Wrestlecup Episode - Worst 2nd Generation Superstar Some apples don't fall far from the tree. When you think of Rocky Johnson, you will counter with the Rock.

Wrestlecup Episode - Worst 90s Gimmick Some of us look back at the 90s very fondly. Be it Britpop or the emergence of the Internet. The 90s was an amazing decade full of iconic moments.
