Baked Potatoes Podcast

With it being kind of a heavy documentary at times, the Taters do their best to keep it light and talk about other stuff. "The Resurrection of Jake the Snake" is Available for free on Tubi as of the posting date of this episode.

In this briefly misplaced episode; 16 Wrestlers, chosen by our staff, most of whom are underrated and a few of whom are appropriately rated! Somebody wins!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx2QGxpsY5E&t=8102s Arsenio Hall. The UNDISPUTED late night champion of having pro wrestlers on his program and really getting the most out of them performance-wise and deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame.

Is Billy Gunn in the top 200 wrestlers in the year of 1999? Does he go as high as #39? Is it even clear what the fuck I'm asking of you? All this, plus sports, after the break!

32 names....actually 34 names because two of 'em got disqualified right outta the gate. All the names you know, love and would expect to be in the running for the largest and most bloated, yet undeniably over and popular stable in the history of professional wrestling.

Success in professional wrestling's all about who you know, especially if you know the booker. With varying degrees of nepotism, from getting that initial break, to a little extra time to stick around in the spotlight, all the way down to "Jesus Christ, you've clearly taken the spot of someone far more deserving," the Taters are having at it!

You're only a rookie once...unless you get a new gimmick. So I guess you can be a rookie twice then...unless you get another new gimmick....anyway, best first year as a new player or with a new gimmick, the Tate's show up with their favorite names.

12 favorites, probably another 10-20 honorable mentions, and not much of a shock as a the 'Taters reach their first unanimous number 1 in their "best of" format.

A tournament featuring a lot of cities you'd expect, and a few that you don't. Plus some crazy side matchups like Tony Schiavone vs Mike Adamle and Jackets vs Robes and Nu Naytch vs Honky Tonk Gotch!

Welp, it started out as 18 Good People/Nice Guys, but by the end of the episode almost no one is redeemable. Don't meet your heroes, or even talk about them for that matter.

Their specific Pay-Per-View events they they can remember being at, or watching, or remember hearing about!

Not just theme songs, not just wrestlers in bands, not just bands about wrestling, not just wrestling about bands, not just bands in the ring. Ok, I'm done.

Some were expected, some were shocking, some broke hearts. Plus, the final few outs of a Phillies NLDS loss!

David Arquette AAANNNND Oliver Platt in the same movie?!?!?! The answer is YES.

...though the episode should be called The Worst Humans, because barring a few examples, there's a lot of god-awful people in this one.

This one got heated at points, some in agreement and some in disagreement. But mostly, Tim was difficult. Enjoy!

What's poppin'? The crowds are, for each of these 10 big crowd pops across time and promotions. Hopefully you pop too! Like get excited and make noise about it, not in the gross way that you're thinking. Grow up.

Here's a list of a bunch of very poor decisions made by a a few VERY rich dudes made by a few mostly poor dudes who make rich decisions. https://linktr.ee/bakedpotatoespod

Taters talkin' IC Champs, and the ridiculous beginnings from which the belt came and the various controversies surrounding it!

Best of 3 Match?!?!?! Followed by a Dog Collar Match?!?!?!?!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYBoK_WfbIg

Too much action for one episode!!!! The Tater Guise watch the first of 3 INSANE matches between the Briscoes and FTR! https://youtu.be/zYBoK_WfbIg?si=fJjfUih2LVrzDGn-

This week, the Taters are listing top 3 best and worst entrance themes, as well as 3 performed by an actual band (and not just Rick Derringer and Jimmy Hart). Did your faves make either list list? Was the previous episode supposed to come out after this one? FIND OUT!!!!

This week, the fellers list their favorite tag teams. And then a bunch more.

Man. The Taters had a computer conk out, and then a co-host, plus other audio issues. But it was worth all the struggle because they watched and loved the shit out of this match, and you will too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38xWXVuJQwE

This week, the Taters went back to the 80's to watch the Rock N' Wrestling classic "Body Slam" and then had about an hours worth of stuff to say about it! Available for streaming on all major platforms and free on Tubi or the link below! https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x94rxuc Socials links available at : https://linktr.ee/bakedpotatoespod

The BP's List some of their least favorite and most favorite finishing moves!

In an episode that lacks ZERO irony, The Taters "borrow" another video from CultaholicWrestling that exposes some big time names unlawfully stealing some big time gimmicks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUWezjCTRck&t=34s

These video lives up to its title and then some, and the Taters have a few good laughs at some awful things said by some awful people. Unrelated, Tony Shalhoub gets a bit more time in the spotlight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M_wFdQI67s&t=133s

After the recent passing of Sabu, The Taters discuss his legacy and impact in wrestling, followed by watching Sabu vs Taz from ECW Barely Legal 1997. https://archive.org/details/Barelylegal

One of the more storied matches from 90's WWE, the Taterz drink it in, in all of its bloody glory. Plus, 100 dudes vs 1 Goriller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYELJpHHwCQ

In an amalgamated(or conglomerated or composited or whatever wrong word they used a bunch whatevs, this a wrestling show not a speaking good english program) list from a buncha places with 201 names of wrestlers in a row, the Taterz agree on some and disagree on others. Do youuuuuuuuuuu??????? https://www.whenitwascool.com/201-greatest-pro-wrestlers-of-all-time-list-pro-wrestlings-greatest-ever

Three crazy matches! Two Insane competitors! One Wild Episode!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xy5L3wXlgc https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xzod1g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EveqjJu5u3g

Pretty much as the title describes, it's a bunch of tweets from wrestlers. Some are silly, some are cheeky, some are horrifying but all are funny. https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/1ji2frr/what_is_your_favorite_wrestling_tweet/?share_id=ijVjnly_P87Tk_tGckz0c&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1&rdt=52489

All the craziest stories that almost certainly aren't true, except for the ones that are! https://www.thesportster.com/crazy-ridiculous-absurd-wrestling-conspiracy-theories-reddit-wwe-aew-wcw/ https://www.angelfire.com/wrestling3/kotdm15/listsleeze.html

The Potatoes dug up the 1989 Hulk Hogan vehicle "No Hold Barred" (AVAILABLE FOR FREE ON TUBI) and watched it for you, but feel free to watch it on your own. I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life.

https://youtu.be/bDX_u1nCz7s?si=FFYEHOHA-j_tpQcZ It's pretty simple; 10 men enter intermittently and beat the bejesus out of eachother!!!!! Also, a surprising amount of Mario Kart talk

In a lead up to the next watch-a-long, the Taters discuss the history of the arguably the best cross promotion feud of Ring of Honor vs Combat Zone Wrestling which culminated in a Cage of Death match to decide the winner. *Some audio issues are present, Charlie sounds like he's in a tin can for half of it, there's some external environmental noises and some whistling and a bit of crackling. We issue our most "sincere" and "genuine" "apologies" and "hope" you can hang in there*

The match so nice, they watched it twice! One of the bloodiest, most concussioniest matches out there! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMU5S9VHhJM

Man. Fire's CRAZY, no?

The long anticipated second half of the longest episode of either show so far!!! The Taters needed some additional help to get through the second 60% of the list, so they brought in a man who needs no introducktion, friend of the program Tim! Enjoy!

The topic so massive and overloaded that it couldn't fit into 1 episode, this list of the 50 heaviest wrestlers of all time will leave you stuffed and lethargic, yet somehow immediately hungry for the second part.

Who's a good dog?!?!?! All the ones who left team wolf in the evolutionary split! Nature and Nurture joined forces to give us our favorite dopes! Note : Charlie's mic is up too loud for the first 25 minutes or so, he apologizes, as do I because I'm definitely a different person. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDt0HKSdRRw

The fellas watched The Iron Claw, a delightful and cheery biopic about The Von Erich family and spoilers : Everything went great, definitely not a bummer at any point.

If you thought hurricane season was over, you're right! Tornado season is here, and what better way to celebrate it than A The Moon Contest!!!! This one was a real shoot out, and spoilers, someone wins by having more points than the other at the end!!! WHICH ONE OF US WILL DO THE BEST-AH?!?!?!?

In this installation, the 'Taters watch an ECW classic between Rob Van Dam and Jerry Lynn. Big spots in and out of the ring, in and out of the crowd, and Jerry Lynn in and out of consciousness for a portion of it. Tables, flips, minimal floor padding outside the ring and at least one concussion as far as they could tell.

I THOUGHT HURRICANE SEASON WAS OVER! Hurricanes, New Moons, Comets and the Aurora Borealis!!!! So many crazy things happened in the span of a few weeks, and the Fellows O'Science were lucky enough to be alive to talk about it. Almost as lucky as YOU are to listen!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xtu2_ziBI_w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFThNlfH5sE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFk6eNvmbFg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czMh3BnHFHQ

Sometimes in the business of fighting with predetermined outcomes, real fighting happens!!! And sometimes in the business of bulllshitting over a 10 minute video, it ends up taking NINE times longer to get through it! Main video by https://www.youtube.com/@TapOutCorner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lbxo0fnCcTo&t=2s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ARV2xKqWDs

After months and months of being harassed and badgered with requests from YOU, the faithful listener, The Fellerz of Science watched Space Truckers and it did not disappoint. Although I can't speak to what your hopes are, so it very well might disappoint you. See? There's that negative attitude again. You really need to work on yourself. Anyways, enjoy!
