The Apron Bump Podcast

The first ever Bound For Glory! The Wrestlemania for TNA! The company has now transitioned to Spike TV; and that was a COMPLETE game-changer. This show has Samoa Joe vs Jushin Liger, a classic X Division Title match between AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels, and Eric Young in a casket. We reminisce about the glory days of TNA in this episode, and it's a hilarious time. Don't be like the "X" in the...

Do you love Mabel? Do you love Savio Vega? Do you love feet? Well if any of those answers are "yes", then you're in the right place. This event is a dumpster fire, but this podcast episode cover said fire is a hoot, let's get to it!   Follow Mr. Fretz and subscribe to his podcast, the "Fretzlemania Podcast" wherever you listen to podcasts! https://ambiguouspodcastsolutions.com/fretzlemania-podcast...

What better way to end ROH 2002 than with the first face we saw at the very first show? One half of Da Hit Squad, Steve "Monsta" Mack joins me on this episode to recap Ring of Honor's biggest show of the year, Final Battle! Colt Cabana and CM Punk have another great match, Xavier has the best showing of his career against Paul London, and we get a star-studded main event four-way. But this episode...

Icon vs Icon....and DDP vs Christian. This event is known for one match; Rock vs Hogan, but the card as a whole is STACKED. Ric Flair vs Undertaker, Rob Van Dam vs William Regal, and even the 4 way tag team match is very underrated. Oh yeah, and Triple H vs Chris Jericho for the Undisputed Title happens, I guess. Whatever the case may be, this show is historic. And this podcast is historic in the...

Career vs. Career. RJ Singh vs Stixx. And Mr. Singh is here to talk all about it! This episode has great insight from RJ in terms of his monumental match on this Chapter, as well as the card as a whole. We finally find out what FSU means, the Nazi Staff is no more, and The Khali Chop is the most devastating move in wrestling. Plus we discuss raffles, barbed wire, and much much more. RJ was a const...

The greatest triple threat match of all time. Agree? Disagree? Well let's WATCH IT to find out. In this episode, we review the entire Unbreakable event, and in addition, we do a watch-along of the main event; what an experience. Outside of the legendary X Division Championship match between Christopher Daniels, AJ Styles, and Samoa Joe...there's so much to love. Raven and Rhyno have a hardcore rem...

The pieces continue to be added to what we all remember as ECW; as we get the debuts of Luna Vachon and Bill Alfonso! We also discuss what makes a good deathmatch, and why it is not whatever the Rottens are doing here. Sandman pulls double duty, we get a rematch between Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero, and Taz gets a major character change...finally! This is some classic ECW here, folks.   Follow...

Time to have an arm wrestling match to win a rabbit and time to witness Renegade's in-ring debut on PPV! WCW shenanigans are in full effect here, but some of the best WCW matches of the year occur on this show in Brian Pillman vs Alex Wright and Macho Man vs Ric Flair. Those matches were so good that even Jim Duggan vs Sgt. Craig Pittman couldn't ruin it. Hit play and listen to the hilarious journ...

Joined by ECW and ROH legend, HC Loc! One half of the Carnage Crew, who are in the main event of this show. It's The Carnage Crew vs Homicide and Abdullah The Butcher. It's even more insane that you would imagine. Loc walks us through the insanity of the Bunkhouse main event he was a part of with the deathmatch legend, and also gives insight on the rest of the show; which consists of Colt Cabana v...

It's Titles vs Careers! It's Pete Dunne! It's Sting (kind of)! This Chapter is packed with action from start to finish, with great matches, great storylines, and a rarity in British wrestling...great promos! And we get the first-hand experience from someone who was there to witness this crazy show!   Joined by Ross from the "Wrestling Should Be Fun" podcast! Subscribe and listen to them wherever y...

Looking for a podcast about piledriving women and Terry Funk trying to light Mick Foley's genitals on fire? Well you've come to the right episode! Blood, guts, and the beginning of Dean Douglas and Faarooq Asad. We get the next chapters in various sagas; the Rotten Brothers, Tommy Dreamer vs Raven, and of course, Tsudo Genjin. Let's get into it!   Matt Ridder from the "Smackin' It Raw" Podcast ret...

Were the dark matches better than the actual card? Possibly. But at least Hakushi and Stephanie Wiand are here. WWF recovers well from the utter disaster that was Wrestlemania 11. New stars being built all throughout the card, quality wrestling, and lots and lots and lots of time dedicated to giving away a house. The promos/out-of-ring segments may have been the most unintentionally entertaining p...

TNA is going to Spike, the three-way feud between Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, and Christopher Daniels gets kicked off with a classic between AJ and Joe, Jeff Jarrett gets hardcore, and Shocker is still here...for some reason. Thus far, the most quality PPV of 2005. Full of debuts, returns, and the unique style that formed the cult following that TNA would build over the next few years. Let's get into it...

Wait...NWO...AT NWO?!?!?! HAHAHAH! I have so many questions about this show....why is Mr Perfect here? Why are RVD and Goldust fighting? Why is Stephanie McMahon's acting so horrendous? We try to answer all these questions and more on this episode; it's a weird PPV but a fun podcast!   Joined by Nick and Sacco from the "Universal Wrestling Podcast", check them out wherever you listen to podcasts!...

This show follows one of the worst PPVs of all-time....was this one just as bad? Not at all. And we can attribute that to Wahoo McDaniel vs Dick Murdoch and the lack of Jim Duggan. Seeds get planted for the Dungeon of Doom, we get a GIANT debut, and Paul Orndorff faces Great Muta for the IWGP Title (Yes, that's a thing that actually happened). Oh, and Hulk Hogan apparently has a new tricep vein an...

Samoa Joe vs Rampage Brown. Quit acting like you need another reason to listen.   Joined by Charlie from the GetCho Podcast!

Scramble matches are amazing and I will hear no other opinion. Indy spotfests are fun, and ROH is really leaning into it with this show. On top of this, we have further developments with the faction of The Prophecy, as it gets a new member. Steve Corino runs away to Japan, Samoa Joe and Homicide beat the hell out of each other, and Joey Mercury is trying to fit in with the kids and their drugs and...

E C DUB! When you watch an ECW show, you want blood, cigarettes, sexuality, and Rick Steiner. And this show has all of that! We got Sandman vs Shane Douglas for the ECW Title, a huge catalyst in the Tommy Dreamer/Raven feud, and an amazing match between Eddie Guerrero and 2 Cold Scorpio. All of this and much much more; TONS to recap in this show, let's get to it!   Follow Justin, Sreten, and their...

Bam Bam vs. LT. Shawn tries to screw over Diesel's push. The worst Undertaker match ever. Pam Anderson hates everything about this, and so do I. There is so much to beat up about this show, strap in.    Joined by Dave from the Ruthless Aggression Era Podcast, see their info below! "RA Era Podcast" on Soundcloud, Youtube, or wherever you listen podcasts! https://soundcloud.com/raerapodcast https://...

Is Rhino in the building?! Probably. Raven vs Abyss on top for the NWA Title in a DOG COLLAR MATCH. Brutal stuff. Lots of great X-Division on this show, including a MOTY contender in AJ Styles vs X-Pac. No, really. An amazing match. We also see great stuff in Petey William vs Christopher Daniels, Chris Sabin vs Samoa Joe, and Hoyt-a-mainia is running wild!   Check out Joseph Montecillo's great wre...

Val Venis returns and Ric Flair lays pipe. Oh, and Triple H is back and is in it to win the Rumble too, I guess. What an insane show this was: a Street Fight between Vince McMahon and Ric Flair, many returns in the Royal Rumble, and Nick Patrick sexually assaults William Regal. And another banger in Rock vs Jericho for the Undisputed Championship! Let's review Rumble 02! And let's cover the Rumble...

You'll definitely hate Paul Robinson after this episode. UK wrestling veteran Shady Nattrass joins the show to provide his first-hand insight on the talent involved in this chapter, and to provide his analysis of the matches and PROGRESS as a whole. We recap an early version of Pete Dunne, the evolution of Eddie Dennis, and Prince Devitt vs Zack Sabre Jr. All of that and much much more.   Follow S...

This may be the dumbest wrestling show ever. For so many reasons. This show had  bad gimmicks, zero logic, and seemingly just existed for the picture at the very end. But at least there's an ULTIMATE surprise! That's right. Renegade. And that's only the tip of the iceberg with this show; we got King of the Road, Boxer vs Wrestler, and Booker T covered in mustard. What more could you ask for? Joine...

The debut of CM Punk! Also the debut of Homicide stabbing people with forks! A star-studded show including Bryan Danielson vs AJ Styles, Paul London vs Amazing Red, and an appearance from Tommy Dreamer! A very influential show in the history of Ring of Honor. Lots of great wrestling but still lots of growing pains. Lots to get into, let's get into it.   Joined by Dom from the "Wrestling Should Be...

Barbed wire, Hack Myers, and Terry Funk bleeding out of his ears. What more could you ask for from an ECW episode? In this episode, we recap Marty Janetty stealing the show, the latest chapter of the Rotten brothers and their gruesome battles, and DC Drake! (who?). This is a wacky one, folks.   Joined by Matt from the "Shining Wizards Wrestling Podcast" Check them out live Mondays at 6:45 PM and w...
