Well there is a big surge in the amount of indy shows happening this weekend according to the FITE.tv schedule which can only mean one thing… it’s WrestleMania weekend! WrestleMania is now a two-night event in addition to the all the ancillary shows and honestly, two days of the current WWE product doesn’t appeal to me at all. Luckily they […]
Carl Reiner, an American actor, stand-up comedian, director, screenwriter, and author whose career spanned seven decades, said of the late Andy Kaufman, “nobody can see past the edges, where the character begins and he ends.” Kaufman was a very eccentric entertainer, who enjoyed coming up with elaborate hoaxes for publicity. His range of characters included “Foreign Man” – later to be […]
With the recent news that AEW and DDT/CyberFight have signed a deal to work together (something we’ll discuss more on an upcoming podcast) – I thought this week we’d take a look at one of the key players in this deal. The name Sanshiro Takagi may not mean much to many American fans, as when they think of DDT they […]
The Roadshow heads to Philly for an extreme episode. Wait, it’s 1993? Well we go Eastern anyway. We take a look at one of the early ECW events as they tangle with WWA for Battle of the Belts.

“I’m sorry, I love you”. The metaphorical gun was cocked, the trigger pulled. An old dog, finally able to find peace. The gun – a super kick. The shooter – Shawn Michaels. And the old dog – one of the greatest careers in the history of professional wrestling, that of Ric Flair. It cannot be overstated how important Ric Flair […]
This series isn’t just songs used in wrestling, it’s also songs about wrestling. This morning I woke up to the news Shane Warne had died. Given this is a wrestling site, that name may not mean a huge amount to some, but Warne is an all-time great cricketer that I grew up watching. As our commentary episode of the podcast […]
For those that wonder how I make the choice of which song to use for the week, don’t. There’s very little rhyme or reason to it other than not wanting to stick on one topic/genre for too long. Sometimes something news worthy happens (Kairi Hojo), or I tie it in to something currently happening (KENTA). Sometimes it’s birthdays (Maki Itoh) […]
“間も無く水道橋駅 到着します”, the announcement comes over the speakers. You think you understood, but you’re uncertain.
