This time we are covering a topic that is attitude Era adjacent. The hardcore division, how hardcore became deathmatch and can the match type be saved? We all love a good deathmatch but how much can we really show on tv today? Why is hitting someone with random shit so damn cool?

Leave it to us to drive a stake through you nostalgic heart but the attitude era was actually pretty bad. There were terrible storylines, abuses of power, and questionable booking. Just because everyone had a storyline, doesn't mean we needed a porn star to get his penis cut off, a woman crucified, or worse yet, a woman barking like a dog. We love the attitude era, it was a time to be alive but somethings deserve to be left in the ...
This week we discuss the good moments of the Attitude Era. We cover all your greatest hits, tune in next week to hear about all of the Attitude Eras biggest Misses.

This week we discuss the man that was Rowdy Roddy Piper. A man who loved the wrestling business and sometimes that business didn't quite love him back. A loving father and father figure for some who saw him in the halloween ads. He was an actor with many titles, some very deep cuts. Celebrate the man with us.

In this one we decide to dive head first into what is now an eerie PPV. It seems haunted, with the discussion of the Vince Murder Story and knowing the Benoit Tragedy that took the lives of Nancy and Daniel was happening at the same time.
The card is discussed in detail and we talk about what that night felt like and why was Johnny Nitro added to the ECW title match? Why even have most of these matches on a PPV at all?

In this one, we do our best to try to explain what the lethal lottery and the battlebowl are. At some points we fail because this idea was a Dusty wet dream.
40 Wrestlers becomes 20 wrestlers, with 3 podcasters, and 2 rings... there can only be one winner.
Battlebowl?

Your three favorite guys find a friend, Mitch Mayhem joins in this deep dive on the career of Foley. We lament stories of a Foley of the past and what we expect to happen with Foley in the future. Does Mick have one more match in him? We think he does, and by going through his past opponents we attempt to figure out who on the AEW roster is going to put Mick Foley into retirement for good.

Have you ever seen a JCW show? what about JCW in 2013? In 2013, the commentary was just as much a part of the show as the wrestling. Here there are some good matches, some bad matches, but it is all around a great time. Our own Jerry was on Location here as a runner for the show.
