But now stick around for some real magic. The first edition of our Match of the Week takes us back to February 2009. The place: Reseda, California.Continue reading “Pod and a Match of the Week, two bits”

Let’s Get Ready to Not Get Ourselves Sued – Royal Rumble Predictions

It’s weird to say that on the first day of February we’re just getting in our first predictions of the year, but that’s the way the calendar crumbles. These may look a little different as well, as this is the only time we set up a points system but that also allows us to tryContinue reading “Let’s Get Ready to Not Get Ourselves Sued – Royal Rumble Predictions”

2024 Finisher Awards

You thought we forgot about these, didn’t you? Well, we did. Kinda. So mea culpa is that we actually did an season premiere episode talking and arguing about these and the recordings didn’t cooperate and were accidentally poo. Not the show quality, that’s always poo. But we lost some voices and it just wasn’t goingContinue reading “2024 Finisher Awards”

Retro Review: 1989 Royal Rumble

I feel like I say this around this time every year, but we have hit the festive period and now thoughts turn to the most frantic hour in sports entertainment, the Royal Rumble. Apparently, I went and reviewed the first-ever Royal Rumble last January and this time, I’d like to do more than just theContinue reading “Retro Review: 1989 Royal Rumble”

Retro Review: Survivor Series 2014

What better way to fight off the tryptophan than with a little Retro Review, looking at the Thanksgiving tradition, the Survivor Series. While the show is no longer on the holiday or holiday eve, we can still call it that. Though honestly, I think they could run on Thanksgiving and draw. Just if you runContinue reading “Retro Review: Survivor Series 2014”

Crown Jewel Predictions

No time for hyperbole and such. These early PPV starts do not mix with my day gig and noon kickoffs. Just a quick reminder that this is part two of a back-to-back that we’re running with Halloween Havoc. The crew makes there picks below for today’s Saudi card. Predictions Championship Zack (5-0) Dan (5-0) RomanContinue reading “Crown Jewel Predictions”

Halloween Havoc Predictions

What better way to kick off Halloween week than with a little wrestling and predicting? Zack will make the first defense as the new champion and congratulations are in order for Mike. He lost the belt back at Wrestledream but had the longest Predictions Championship reign since early 2022 at 105 days. But onto theContinue reading “Halloween Havoc Predictions”

Bad Blood Predictions

You know how this goes, they make matches, we pick them, someone gets a belt. Let’s get into it and because it’s a WWE pay-per-view of late, it might have been a little easy to predict… Because of that, we will combine these numbers with next week’s WrestleDream. Predictions Championship Mike Zack Hell in aContinue reading “Bad Blood Predictions”
