    Guys I really tried. You had me hooked with the 1989 survivor series. I listened for the first 10 min but the audio was absolutely horrible. Fix that before posting, please! Keep grinding tho and I’ll check back later hopefully more late 80s early 90s stuff.

    Nothing more dumbed-down than 40 year old virgins who obsess about pop culture. Expand your horizons and avoid these podcasts.

  • Amazing series of podcasts!

    Justin and the whole crew out on great shows. I absolutely love Aaron’s “The Year That Was…”such a fun series covering WWF/WWE PPVs. Their “Now Entering the Royal Rumble” is so entertaining. It’s a clever way to cover one of the most popular wrestling pay per view franchises in history. No Holds Barred is just a great listen no matter the topic. My other favorites: Extreme Three Way Dance, Wrestling War Zone and WWE WAR. This feed covers TNA, New Generation era of WWF, NFL, Comics, modern day ... more
