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 s…
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 i…
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 C…
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, he…
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 …
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 …
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 c…
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 w…
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 promisin…
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 …
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 …
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.
It's a new era in wrestling. TNA is out of the Asylum and into the Impact Zone with their FIRST EVER three hour PPV. They set the tone for a great run here at Victory Road 2004. TNA had some great aspects to it in this era..…
Just wanted to get this subject out of the way lmao. Went longer than I expected, but there's so much to shit on Nia about, that it feels like you can just keep talking about it forever. I give my take on whether or not Nia …
The year of 2001 was a crazy great time for wrestling. Let's hop back on the Road to Wrestlemania in from back in the day and revisit No Way Out 2001 to review the entire show, and discuss why Stephanie McMahon vs. Trish Str…
Hardest Part of the Ring is back, to let us know why an empty arena Wrestlemania at the Performance Center could be a good thing. And why COVID-19 could be not the virus, but the antidote that WWE desperately needs.
Going back in time for this podcast as we review WWF Royal Rumble 2001. We break down the whole card, and go over why this is one of the best WWF PPVs of all time. Only thing that would have made it better is if Honky Tonk M…
