Tag Team Podcasting

We hope the new year is off to a great start for all of you. Since we're now on the road to the WWE's biggest show of the year, we felt it appropriate to get back into the swing of things. After a less than steller entry in 1995, the company brought us Wrestlemania from California. Featuring the first "Iron Man" match, a "Hollywood Backlot Brawl" and other notable matches, how did this show fare?...

Garrett and Matt return to the ring after quite some time away. What a way to make their comeback by discussing a show with an infamous main event. It was the Mega Powers re-teaming against the Alliance to End Hulkamania in a match so big they needed multiple levels. The boys discuss all that and the preceeding events as they look at WCW Uncensored 1996. Come back next week for their first Wrestle...

Following the Royal Rumble, both winner HBK and the rest of the World Wrestling Federation were on the road to Wrestlemania XII. They did have one last PPV in store before hitting their final stop in Anaheim. Diesel still needed his rematch from world champion Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels put his main event status […]

Welcome back to Tag Team Podcasting. Join Garrett and Matt as they return to the wrestling rings of the mid 90s and pick up right where they left off in their reviews of WCW/WWF reviews with this look at 1996’s Clash of Champions 32. What did the Clash of Champions name mean to Garrett growing up? Where was WCW at this point? How much are Garrett and Matt looking forward to getting to the NWO era?...

Thankfully we have officially closed the door on 1995 in the world of wrestling. WWF shifted in a huge way during 1996, kicking off with its annual Royal Rumble ppv. I don't just say "kicking off" because Mr. Sweet Chin Music won the titular match. How did the show fare as far as launching a new calendar year for Vince's promotion? Tune in to find out Garrett and Matt's takes on WWF Royal Rumble 1...

The time has come for us to take our first deep dive into Starrcade, the flagship show of WCW. Well, several can compete for that title but it was their Wrestlemania equivalent so why not run with it? With a fresh coat of paint to wipe away the dreck that was Starrcade 1994, NJPW vs. WCW was the predominant storyline throughout. The show culminates in a #1 contenders match that's immediately follo...

WWF closes out their PPV slate of 1995 with Season's Beatings. How do the boys feel the show went? From hog pens to bulldogs, we'll cover it all. Tune in to our latest discussion!

We're back to the world of WCW for the end all be all of matches. No, we're not discussing Wargames again. We'll be taking a look at the titular WW3 match, which was created to make WWF's Royal Rumble look miniscule by comparison. Much like Vince's company did in 1992, the world title of Turner's promotion was for the taking this time. Both also involved Ric Flair heavily on the PPV itself. Would...

fter taking a sabbatical off from the world of wrestling, Garrett and Matt are back. This time, they're taking a look at one of the big four shows from the promotion up north. Nothing screams Thanksgiving more than Survivor Series for WWF fans. With a plethora of traditional elimination matches and a world title match that saw the end of Diesel's time with the belt, how do the boys feel about the...

Halloween is a perfect time of year. Pumpkins, trick or treating and professional wrestling. The titular WCW Pay Per View is one of those shows that is well-known, but perhaps for more infamous reasons than great ones. The show really was a continuation of what we saw at Fall Brawl the month before, escalating to a monster truck match/subsequent world title match between The Giant and Hulk Hogan....

We've now arrived at a show featuring a main event that caused Vince McMahon to eviscerate both the talent and agents backstage. What a way to cap off WWF returning to Canada huh? That's just one of many components Garrett and Matt discuss in their review of WWF In Your House 4. We touch on everything from debuting talent like Goldust and Hunter Hearst Helmsley to the fallout of HBK getting beaten...

The In Your House concept was a way for WWF, in a difficult period for business, to get some extra revenue by providing smaller PPVs outside of their big 4. We aren't starting with the first show of this name because it predates the "official" start of the Monday Night Wars. We are instead beginning in September of 1995. Big Daddy Cool Diesel was still WWF Champion and partnering with his BFF HBK...

Garrett and Matt begin their journey through the history of wrestling by watching and dissecting WCW’s Fall Brawl ‘95, an event many determine to be the beginning of the Monday Night Wars. You got it. The tandem are wasting no time diving into the era where the most eyes were on each wrestling product, including the two hosts of this podcast. Why did the boys decide to start here? How is each matc...

It’s finally here. After years of contemplating it, here is the very first episode of Tag Team Podcasting, the project Garrett and Matt have been wanting to springboard forever. Welcome, to their very own wrestling retrospective podcast! Listen to them answer questions like who their favorite wrestlers are, and hypotheticals like what they would do if they were in the wrestling business. As well a...
