Snark Marks, A Very Funny Podcast

Professional wrestling runs through Bret Hart's veins. Born into a family of wrestlers, with a wrestling father and seven wrestling brothers, it's as genetic as his brown, wavy hair. With his classic, steady pacing and creative mind for match choreography, The Hitman made the most of a tempered personality and lack of extreme explosive athleticism to become one of the greatest talents in the histo...

We've spent the greater part of 2021 lambasting the decision makers for the biggest organizations in wrestling history, so we figured it was our turn to take the reigns. We begin the episode by having a draft of twenty wrestling figures each, with anybody who has appeared on any show that we reviewed being available. After the draft, we put on our motorcycle jackets and get in our wheelchairs to e...

Our Worst of Vince Russo breakdown included promotions for a pro wrestling comedy made in 2000, so it's only fitting that we review it. This movie wasn't hard to talk about, but it sure is hard to compliment. Prepare for fart jokes, r-words, and two idiots crashing a poop truck. No, it's not 2000s WCW. It's READY TO RUMBLE!  Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @SnarkMarksPod and subscribe to o...

Two weeks ago, AEW gave us a banger of a wrestling show. Full Gear had everything, and we wanted to talk about it... but stuff came up. Thankfully, our stoke was undeterred. We got together to provide our reactions to the card and give our thoughts on AEW and WWE's current contrasting trajectories. We also accidentally talked about movies for the first 17 minutes.  Follow us on Twitter and In...

We made it. We've endured well over 12 hours of the Russo/Bischoff WCW experiment, and in all honesty we are tired. Broken down. Befuddled. Disheartened and angry. Finally, though, we have arrived at the season finale. We debate whether David Arquette ruined wrestling, Eric Bischoff vs Vince Russo, and what Shawn Stasiak's name is. The show ends with Slamboree 2000, a genuine disease of a wrestlin...

As our Worst of Vince Russo series progresses, the New Blood vs Millionaire’s Club feud continues to heat up, or at least it’s supposed to. Jerry covers sting in blood at the direction of Vampiro, Hulk Hogan throws Billy Kidman in a comically large dumpster, and as is always the case in good television, the writers are the focus of it all. At least we are introduced to K-K-K-K-K-K-KRONIK, I guess....

The best of Vince Russo involved him booking one of the most talented and charismatic rosters wrestling had ever seen. For the worst of Vince Russo, we examine a period starting the moment Russo and Bischoff join forces to take over WCW. They created an atmosphere and a wrestling show that is so bad only a slap nut could enjoy it. We went a bit long on this one because we had to record it in two p...

Wrapping up the "Best of" portion of our Vince Russo study, the guys watched Survivor Series 1998 (IT'S A DEADLY GAME) and the Raw that followed. The Rock shocked the world and decided to kiss some ass while Stone Cold remains steadfast in his determination to kick some ass. The best of Vince Russo was a lot of fun to watch, but who gets the credit? Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @SnarkMarksPo...

Our foray into the wild world of Russo booking leads us to the November 2 and 9, 1998 Monday Night Raws. Vince McMahon feels the power slipping from his hands and goes on a rampage in which nobody is safe and everybody's loyalty is in question. Kane has lost all structure in his life and is currently on the loose. A fireball is involved. Like, a real fireball. A character in a wrestling show shot...

When the architect of the hottest era in history is also one of the most despised figures in the industry's history, some wild stuff probably went down. In order to fully appreciate Vince Russo, we have to explore the good times and bad. We begin our new season in October, 1998. The attitude era is in full swing, Stone Cold Steve Austin rules the world, and a tournament is to be held at the Surviv...

Wrestlemania 6 saw two of the most powerful forces in the universe collide in a battle to determine who is the chosen one and who is the only one, we think? It's also the only way that they can come together and become more powerful apparently? We know there's a plane involved. Andrew's big brother Jacob joins us and walks us through a turning point in his life. Wrestlemania 6 changed Jacob, but w...

Our journey through 1997 had a lot of ups, downs, twists, turns, demon brothers, wolfpacks, screwjobs, Mongo McMichaels, and way-too-many-people-tag-matches. We would be remiss if we did not hand out awards to those who touched our lives, for better or worse, throughout the season. Andrew provides in-depth statistical analysis, the boys give out their awards, and then Dusty goes full Rainman on us...

The boys open the show discussing exercise, Harry Houdini, supernatural skepticism, and the guy who killed President James Garfield (ends at about 17:20). It wasn't on purpose, but perhaps it was to avoid talking about THE BIGGEST PROMOTIONAL FUMBLE IN THE HISTORY OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING. Starrcade 1997 was supposed to be WCW's shining moment; the match up between Sting and Hollywood Hogan was a...

For our final foray into the world of WWF in 1997, we visit one of the most talked about moments in wrestling history. No, it's not the hard fought victory over the DOA for The Truth Commission. The show that's tagline was "Gang Rulz" (not kidding) included a moment which would change the way many view professional wrestling forever, and would usher in the wildest and most lucrative era in history...

This show was about as nWo-era WCW as it gets. Front-loaded chaos culminating with a classic Hulk Hogan stinker. Rey Misterio, Jr. and Eddy Guerrero turned in a match for the ages, but was it good enough to redeem WCW Halloween Havoc 1997? Short answer: no. Long answer: no, but wordier.

That's gotta be Kane! I led with that because it's essentially all that happens on this show. On a day where WWF learned of the tragic death of one of their stars, Brian Pillman, and the owner of the company started what was a disgraceful PR campaign with a minis match, WWF debuted a legendary character. Did the very first Hell in a Cell match live up to the hype?  Follow us on Twitter and In...

Well... AEW's All Out PPV blew our minds. From the match quality to the new signings, it was a rare perfect night in wrestling history. The Snark Marks went live on their Youtube channel immediately following the show to discuss their takeaways. We had audio issues with an echo until around 41 min 25 sec into the show, so feel free to skip until then. Thanks for listening! 

On August 9, 1997, WCW held a PPV at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. The show was 1997's nWo era in a nutshell- it was centered around Eric Bischoff's belief that motorcycles and middle aged men are inherently cool, the babyfaces were screwed, and the last five matches averaged 1 star from Dave Meltzer. THIS PODCAST, however, is much more fun. It's not the corny motorcycle rally; it's more like the...

The boys get together to preview this Sunday's AEW All Out PPV. We go through the card and discuss what we expect from perhaps the most anticipated wrestling show of 2021. Join us this Sunday immediately following the PPV for our reaction show! This is our first show published to our brand new Youtube channel! Please subscribe so you don't miss our reaction show this Sunday. Also follow us on Twit...

Stipulations galore as the Hart Foundation takes on the world. Will Ken Shamrock eat dog food? Will Brian Pillman wrestle in a dress? Will "The Hitman" be banned from wrestling in the United States? No, yes, and of course not. The real story of this PPV is the future of Stone Cold Steve Austin being forever changed on account of his being too god dang low during an Owen Hart piledriver. Summerslam...

Well, it happened. CM Punk showed up on AEW Rampage, and it was everything any of us could have dreamed of. SummerSlam also happened this weekend, which gave us a chance to compare the approaches of the two promotions. Frank Mir losing and eventually finding a horseshoe is also mentioned. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @SnarkMarksPod. The Snark Marks are Dusty Godwin @SnarkMarkD on Twitter and...

The novelty of the nWo has officially worn off for Andrew, and he and Dusty talk about it. We debut the shenanigans/groin shots counter, and talk about Glacier and Mortis fighting over a 400 year old karate helmet. The New World Order may not be as sa-weet as history remembers, but at least it gave us this episode. It's WCW BASH AT THE BEACH 1997! Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @SnarkMarksPod....

It's the Hart Family vs the world. Stipulations galore as one of pro wrestling's most prolific families becomes the focus of much of the WWF roster. Also featured is a never-ending fight between Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Mankind and The Undertaker dealing with some family issues of his own. It's a dang CANADIAN STAMPEDE!  Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @SnarkMarksPod.

A listener asked us if we would review this show, so we decided to take a break from our 1997 series and oblige him! We journey to Wembley Stadium and a time in wrestling when some of our favorites were young up-and-comers and all of the promos were screamed for some reason. It's Summerslam 1992! We will return to our regular 1997 schedule next week.  Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @Snark...

A lot has been going on in the wrestling world lately, and Dusty has a lot to say about it. This is a new type of show that we will do periodically in which we discuss the current goings-on in the wrestling world. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @SnarkMarksPod and let us know what you think!
