Six Man Tag Podcast

Having a great match on a big show is one thing but having the greatest match of your storied career on one of the most historically significant cards ever is a whole different thing. This card was a joint card between New Japan Pro Wrestling, All Japan Pro Wrestling and WWF just a mere days after The Ultimate Warrior dethrones Hulk Hogan for the WWF title in Toronto’s Skydome. This match, without...

This week we invite Cut Throat Cody to the show and watch a hidden gem recommended by him. We talk about mother in-laws, Kurrigan in a suit and Jim nearly cries. By far the most in-depth discussion we have had to date.

In this week's episode we watch a match that none of us were even alive for! It's 1969 and Bull Curry takes on Johnny Valentine in a 2 out of 3 falls match from the Sam Houston Coliseum. Although Greg “The Hammer” Valentine called this a classic, we all agree its far from a classic and none of us can even understand the finish. In addition, both Mike and Jim struggle with this week’s, “Who the F##...

What is this match going to be most remembered for? Hopefully not the post match press conference.

Tariq talks about going to watch a World Cup match live in 2002 and Jim talks about watching a league game in Europe. But none of that holds a candle to what was on display...

RVD wins the ECW TV title and all three of us were there live in attendance at the Burt Flickinger Arena in downtown Buffalo NY.

The three of us recall our thoughts of the match at that time and then reflect on how good this match act...

Following that we get into our memories of the first exploding bomb matches we ever saw and a good internet list of the greatest bomb matches ever.

In this week’s intro you will get to know all about Jim and Tariq’s favorite childhood cartoons. In somewhat of a big surprise, Tariq puts a cartoon on his list that Jim totally buries. Is Tariq able to get Jim to change his opinion after his justification?

Who are the greatest wrestlers to have never had a match in the WWF/WWE or WWWF? This week “internet bullshit” answers this question with a list that we, surprisingly, largely agree with.

This week we take a look back at one of the greatest pioneers in Japanese wrestling history, Antonio Inoki.

And the reason why we are talking about animals attacks this week is because the premise of this week’s match is that the loser MUST be attacked by animals. Yes you read that correctly! And… the loser is not being attacked b...
