Baked Potatoes Podcast

The second part of this new and exciting feature, listen to the fellas get creative and book their hearts out with their previously drafted roster!

The Taters get REALLY SERIOUS in the first of a 2-pater, drafting  Pro Wrestlers active in the year of 1994 for part 2, where they'll come up with a card based on the roster they drafted. You know, NERD shit.

With it being kind of a heavy documentary at times, the Taters do their best to keep it light and talk about other stuff. 

"The Resurrection of Jake the Snake" is Available for free on Tubi as of the posting date of this episode.

In this briefly misplaced episode; 16 Wrestlers, chosen by our staff, most of whom are underrated and a few of whom are appropriately rated! Somebody wins!

Arsenio Hall. The UNDISPUTED late night champion of having pro wrestlers on his program and really getting the most out of them performance-wise and deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame. 

Is Billy Gunn in the top 200 wrestlers in the year of 1999? Does he go as high as #39? Is it even clear what the fuck I'm asking of you? All this, plus sports, after the break!

32 names....actually 34 names because two of 'em got disqualified right outta the gate. All the names you know, love and would expect to be in the running for the largest and most bloated, yet undeniably over and popular stable in the history of professional wrestling.

Success in professional wrestling's all about who you know, especially if you know the booker. With varying degrees of nepotism, from getting that initial break, to a little extra time to stick around in the spotlight, all the way down to "Jesus Christ, you've clearly taken the spot of someone far more deserving," the Taters are having at it!

You're only a rookie once...unless you get a new gimmick. So I guess you can be a rookie twice then...unless you get another new gimmick....anyway, best first year as a new player or with a new gimmick, the Tate's show up with their favorite names.

12 favorites, probably another 10-20 honorable mentions, and not much of a shock as a the 'Taters reach their first unanimous number 1 in their "best of" format.

A tournament featuring a lot of cities you'd expect, and a few that you don't. Plus some crazy side matchups like Tony Schiavone vs Mike Adamle and Jackets vs Robes and Nu Naytch vs Honky Tonk Gotch!

Welp, it started out as 18 Good People/Nice Guys, but by the end of the episode almost no one is redeemable. Don't meet your heroes, or even talk about them for that matter.

Their specific Pay-Per-View events they they can remember being at, or watching, or remember hearing about!

Not just theme songs, not just wrestlers in bands, not just bands about wrestling, not just wrestling about bands, not just bands in the ring. Ok, I'm done.

Some were expected, some were shocking, some broke hearts. Plus,  the final few outs of a Phillies NLDS loss!

David Arquette AAANNNND Oliver Platt in the same movie?!?!?! The answer is YES.

...though the episode should be called The Worst Humans, because barring a few examples, there's a lot of god-awful people in this one.

This one got heated at points, some in agreement and some in disagreement. But mostly, Tim was difficult. Enjoy!
