“Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failing is another steppingstone to greatness.” - Oprah Winfrey You have to look past what the record-book says. This is pro wrestling. It's all about the story. Bianca losing to Becky gave her a story. -------- ApronBump.com to watch…
It's....it's Christian! Christian Cage debuts in TNA, hockey sticks are on poles, eggs are fertilized, and AJ Styles' ass takes a pounding. Lots happening on this show, and many of what happens at Genesis 2005 sets the tone for TNA's peak in popularity. Let's get into it! Check out Katie…
Legendary debuts, lots of blood, and Gangrel. What more could you ask for? Lots of seeds getting planted for the future of ECW in this show, and many brutal (and often hilarious) matches take place at this event. Let's get into it! Check out Jacob and Javon, and The Hardest…
Not sure what was worse: The physical assault by Noam Dar's Dar-Li Chop, or the verbal assault by the audience in attendance at Chapter 17 for PROGRESS. Paul Robinson's nose and self-esteem were both shattered 😂 Ft @teaandtightspod Full Episode: ApronBump.com/108 At this event, a baby version of Will Osperay…
Lots of moves being made on the part of PROGRESS lately, it was a fun time talking about it with some experts. I'm not sure how much MURDER is included in modern-day PROGRESS, but there was a healthy amount in Ch.17 Ft @teaandtightspod Full Episode: ApronBump.com/108 At this event, a…
At this event, a baby version of Will Osperay fights a man who murders someone on this show, Jimmy Havoc. Wrestling! We also see the finals of the Natural Progression Series, we see Tommy End/Malaki Black get squashed, and we witness someone's nose explode into a million pieces. Lots of…
Wrestling on the beach. Ridiculous? Yes. Logistical nightmare? Yes. Expensive? Probably. But this kind of thing is what made WCW so great, and the timing was perfect. Ft @BamaDave24 from @SmackedRawPod Full Episode: ApronBump.com/106 WCW is at the beach! Like, literally. They're wrestling in the sand. That's right; Kamala, Jim…
WCW is at the beach! Like, literally. They're wrestling in the sand. That's right; Kamala, Jim Duggan, Vader, Dave Sullivan and all of your other favorites are wrestling and melting under the beating sun of Huntington Beach. Lots of ridiculousness, but we also get Macho Man vs Ric Flair and…
It's no secret that Tony Khan watched ECW growing up; and you can see that represented in Wardlow's gimmick. 911 was obviously an influence. And you can't fault TK for running with something that was RED HOT in 1995. Ft @THEhardest_pod Full Episode: ApronBump.com/107 Legendary debuts, lots of blood, and…
In the Summer of 1995, kids all around the world were duped by The Renegade. In 2022, a 28 year old podcast host was duped by Jungle Jim. At least he gets destroyed by 911 in this show with record-setting chokeslams. Ft @THEhardest_pod Full Episode: ApronBump.com/107 Legendary debuts, lots of…
Triple Threat matches often lack logic....ESPECIALLY back in 1995, when they were less common/familiar. Watching wrestlers fumble through the (at the time) foreign concept is fascinating. Ft @BamaDave24 from @SmackedRawPod Full Episode: ApronBump.com/106 WCW is at the beach! Like, literally. They're wrestling in the sand. That's right; Kamala, Jim Duggan,…

The Brand Extension is here! Hulk Hogan is fighting for the WWF Title! Paul Heyman has Lita's thongs! What a weird transition period this is for WWF...but a super fun time to talk about. A hidden gem of a PPV, with a ton of amazing matches and fun moments. The…
In the early years, ROH made a good chunk of their name off of their scramble matches. But this can be overdone. Were you a fan of Special K? Ft @wizardspodcast Full Episode: ApronBump.com/109 Kicking off the year of 2003 Ring of Honor with a bang! Joe vs. Danielson, Konnan…
This show has everything. Beautiful finishes, great matches, and butt mufflers. What more could you ask for?

Joe vs. Danielson, Konnan wrestles in a match, and Special K dominates...both in the ring and…
In the early 2000s, there were certain steps forward made for women's wrestling. But boy were there a bunch of steps back as well. The debut of Brock Lesnar is more ludicrous than you remember. Ft @TheKyTyShow from @SmackedRawPod Full Episode: ApronBump.com/105 The Brand Extension is here! Hulk Hogan is…

Monty Brown crawled so that Big E could run. Should have been World Champion in any company he was in. Should have won it on this very show we reviewed. The Alpha Male also provides credibility to WWE's NIL program. Ft @YKWrestling Full Episode: ApronBump.com/103 The first ever Bound For…
The first ever Bound For Glory! The Wrestlemania for TNA! The company has now transitioned to Spike TV; and that was a COMPLETE game-changer. This show has Samoa Joe vs Jushin Liger, a classic X Division Title match between AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels, and Eric Young in a casket.…
Was KING MABEL really that bad? The coronation was, that's for sure. That being said, I can see what WWF was trying to do here, and can't necessarily blame them. The execution was just horrendous. Ft @Fretzlemania Full Episode: http://ApronBump.com/102 Do you love Mabel? Do you love Savio Vega? Do…
