The Monumental Podcast

I apologize for the sound quality in this episode and the last one. Hulkamatt promised his mic was working and we didn't have to wait for his new one to come. He should be Hulkamatt of the Week, I agree. I will try to remember next time. Anyway this episode sees us discuss Bryan Alvarez's second book "100 Things WWE Fans Should Know or Do Before They Die" or more specifically, Hulkamatt tries to g...

We take a break from pro-wrestling (except for the Hulkamatts of the Week) to talk Art Bell, specifically Bugs, the legendary Bigfoot killer but also Art in general. We briefly run down what we like about Coast to Coast AM, what we don't like, why I stopped listening, favorite episodes like Mel's Hole, and more. But we (unsuccessfully) try to focus on Bugs, the man who claimed to kill and bury two...

A common refrain is that we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to WWE and their recent sex trafficking allegations. How true is it that no one would know what Vince was up to?

The audio started breaking up during the Gabe story so this episode ends a little abruptly after...
