WCW in 1994, what a spectacle. And not in a good way. But definitely in a car-crash entertaining way. We got Sting vs Vader for the International World Title that Rick Rude had to vacate due to injury, another insane street f...
There may not be anything more fun than watching peak TNA; and that's what we got for ya today! We'll (attempt to) ignore the nonsense with Johnny Fairplay and focus on some of the gold we're given on this show: A classic mat...
Art Donovan. Do you need any more reason to listen to this episode or watch this show? Well, you shouldn't; but King of the Ring 1994 also is the official beginning of the New Generation Era, contains the best 5 minute match ...
Time for a couple of Asians to talk reminisce about Ring of Honor! Charlie from GetCho Podcast joins The Hardest Part of the Ring for this episode and we have way too much fun talking about ROH's third ever show! This promoti...
You don't know how strong glass can be until you watch King of the Ring 2001. Concussions, broken necks, broken backs, broken tailbones, and broken hands aside.....this was an amazing show. And yes, all of those injuries ACTU...
A very noteworthy show in the history of AEW…good and bad. We got to see great tag team wrestling, a horrific table spot, and that no one in AEW knows what mimosas look like. Great wrestling, but unfortunately hindered by the...
Time to....PROGRESS in these chapters! (How many times can I make that joke?). This edition of PROGRESS covers Chapters 5 and 6; two chapters filled with violence, absurdity, and some good-natured tag team wrestling. Oh, and ...
With special guest, Buryingsmarks! Woooo baby we got a loaded one for you today. Huge weekend in wrestling, lots to cover. Buryingsmarks and myself review Takeover and Summerslam in their entirety; as well as touch on some ot...
Listen to a guy who has NEVER watched WCW start his journey with Spring Stampede 1994. Did you guys know that Stone Cold wrestled Great Muta? I do now. And it was hilariously disappointing. This show had so many car crash mom...
The second ever show for ROH. Dragon. Daniels. Ki. Three awesome matches to see who the best in Ring of Honor is. Although there is no title yet, the journey is absolutely entertaining. That entertainment manifests through so...
Who doesn’t love a good ol’ Attitude Era PPV review? I know I do. I have ZERO relocation of this show and that makes this episode all the more enjoyable; like watching it for the first time. And a very polarizing DJ Storms is...
Let’s listen to a dumb American discuss a UK-based wrestling promotion! In all serious though, PROGRESS is a promotion that I’ve loosely followed in the past, have heard amazing things, and now I’m diving in headfirst with Ch...
Do you hate it when 8 guys (who are all fighting each other) hug together on the floor, just so someone else can jump on top of them? Me too. That's the type of stuff we get into in this episode. High flyers, powerhouses, hee...
Overall, not a strong show, but an incredibly interesting time capsule to open. Bret and Owen had arguably one of the greatest matches of all-time, the first ever ladder match occurs, and Fink has hair. Through the good and t...
WWF is in the middle of 2001 and is really hitting on all cylinders. With Wrestlemania 17 in the rear view mirror, we get a look at heel Stone Cold, an amazing Ultimate Submission match, arguably the great Hardcore Match of a...
Cookiegate, Macho Man, and one of the greatest matches in TNA history, would more could you ask for? At the surface, this may just seem like any other TNA PPV, but this turned out to be one of the most pivotal shows in the co...
Boy oh boy, this is a topic than I know all of you can get behind. Commentary has always had it's quirks and it's downright detrimental qualities to it. From modern day, all the way back to when mics were first utilized in wr...
Overall, the best show so far of the Rona Era. Some very good rasslin but was hindered by a lackluster build and some directionless characters. We get into each match and discuss the future of these stars...some are promising...
Let's revisit ROH's first ever show....the journey begins. The year of 2002 was a strange time, both in wrestling and in the world in general; and that is very much exemplified here by ROH's inaugural event: An Era Of Honor B...
Arguably the greatest Wrestlemania of all time, and not just because Bruce Prichard and Jim Cornette worked a match. This show had everything: Spectacle, technical wrestling, first-evers, car crashes, historic moments...and e...
There's always going to be idiots. And Hardest Part of the Ring is always going to be here to put them in their place. In this weeks episode, we aim our frustration towards smarks; or "Smart Marks" or "Smart Wrestling Fans". ...
CLIMB THE CORPORATE LADDER etc etc whatever. What a crazy, unique show. So much to get into. MITB Match was hilarious, Drew vs. Seth was great, Bayley is amazing, and Brother Love was.....there....for some reason.
Pet peeves in wrestling. There are too many for just one episode. So this week, we rip into the mind numbingly stupid concepts in regards to gimmick matches, build up to gimmick matches, and gimmick PPVs.
