  • WrestleMania 31
    Aug 30 2024

    Today, we travel back to 2015 for WrestleMania 31. I was going to make a Terminator timeline reference since this show is heavily sponsored by Terminator: Genisys, but the timeline is so messed up I can't tell what happened 2015. What we do know: Sting is not Japanese, HHH is not a robot, DX and the NWO are old, and Roman Reigns can work a shoot with Brock Lesnar. The Undertaker gets back on his winning ways, The Rock panders, and the WWE wants to be the NFL. I think that's pretty good summary of WrestleMania 31. Obviously, we explain these points, so download and take a listen!

  • When Giants Walked Here
    Aug 16 2024

    We were truly blessed to be given some time to talk with Cliff Bumgardner and Chris Lea, the makers of the new PBS documentary, When Giants Walked Here. This fantastic documentary tells the story of the famed J.S. Dorton Arena in Raleigh, NC. It's the little engine that could of wrestling arenas. The story of the creation of the building to the stories of the incredible wrestling presented there by Jim Crockett Promotions. You don't want to miss this documentary or this interview. These guys are real cool and great wrestling fans.
