Ep 266TALKING TOURNEYS #9: FIGHTING NETWORK RINGS MEGA BATTLE 1994

E

When Sam chose this tournament he did internalize how bad he is at pronouncing names. Safe to say he remembered while discussing this tournament. Mega Battle 1994 is a complicated tournament. If the RINGS rules weren't enough, they threw the kitchen sink at you with all the byes. Plus there are 20 wrestlers in this shoot-style tournament. Lot to work through. Luckily Dan and Sam are here to break down all the action.

Ep 262Talking Tourneys #8: NWA Title Tournament 11/19/94

E

Not That NWA Title Tournament From 1994! Paul Heyman can kick rocks, Shane Douglas sucks shit, we only respect Tracy Smothers in this (podcast) house. We talk a little bit about how this tournament comes to be but mostly focus on the hot action that takes place in New Jersey with a whole slew of Smoky Mountain Wrestling talent making their way to participate in a tournament for an organization they are not technically associated with. Dirty White Boy, Devon Storm, and Al Snow, yep all the stars are here. LINK TO SHOW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mwh-r7tArw

Dec 15, 20221h 22m

Ep 260Talking Tourneys #7: Mid American Wrestling's Heavyweight Title Tournament 3/30/2002

E

MAW RETURNS TO TALKING TOURNEYS! This was meant to be a short little bonus episode. Something nice and slight to keep things moving. It is only 4 matches and heck it features a rematch from the last tournament we reviewed, Ian Rotten versus CM Punk. We also technically get Colt Cabana, then some Mean Mitch Page and Corp Robinson to round us out. Let me tell you though, this tournament is built different. One of the absolute wildest segments I've seen and certainly the maddest one we've talked about on the show. Another humdinger from MAW Link to the show on IWTV: https://iwtv.live/promotion/Mid-American-Wrestling#zaMvNEN75r

Ep 258Talking Tourneys #6: Mid American Wrestling's Heavyweight Title Tournament 12/15/2001

E

Everyone is talking about "The Hustler" Carmine DeSpirito. Some are calling him a genius. Some are calling him one of the great talkers of his generation. In a tournament with names like "The All Elite Evil" CM Punk, Ian "Don't Blame Me" Rotten, and Colt Cabana, it is DeSpirito who everyone will be talking about. Dan and Sam are back at it to discuss the iconic Mid American Wrestling Heavyweight Championship Tournament from 12/15/01. Lots of talent that would go on to do more in the business, from the folks previously mentioned to Adam Pearce to ROH HDNet legend, Skullcrusher Rasche Brown. Watch the tournament on the award-winning Independent Wrestling TV: https://independentwrestling.tv/promotion/Mid-American-Wrestling

Ep 257ASCAB

E

We are joined on Pizza Dan to talk about AEW Full Ass Gear. Sure Maxwell dropped out and so did Q (get well soon) but we actually do like a solidly good boy pod with 2 goofem up kings. Also I call most people sexist and I think I orientalist. Give Pizza Party Pro and WDKWPN money now!

Ep 255Talking Tourneys #5: NJPW Intercontinental Championship Tournament

E

In the middle of May 2011, New Japan Pro Wrestling decided to take their first tour of the United States of America. On this tour they debuted the Intercontinental title. You know, a title that at times was at times on par with the IWGP Heavyweight title. Obviously that belt had not-so-humble beginnings. Surely the tournament to crown the inaugural championship of the title that would become unified with the IWGP strap would be an incredible achievement. Join Sam and Dan as they break down the action, preach the word of Yano unironically, and dig into Josh Daniels lore. LINK: https://noodlemagazine.com/watch/-5899799_456240785

Ep 253Talking Tourneys #4: AAA's Triplemania XXX Ruleta de la Muerte Torneo

E

This episode's tournament is a mouthful! For Talking Tourneys Halloween episode we turned to something a little more up-to-date, a little bloody, and where masks are the name of the game. A Dan pick this week as Sam hasn't watched any modern lucha because he is an absolute scumbag. A tournament with old men, older rivalries, and more overly produced wooden boards than you can shake a stick at. AAA does not disappoint, living up to their history of weird angles and lots of blood. Get ready for us to talk about Mr. No Nights Off Pentagon Jr., the living legend Canek, and the best in the world, Psycho Clown.

Oct 18, 20221h 34m

Ep 250Talking Tourneys #3: King Of The Ring 1993

E

Join Dan and Sam as they chat through WWF's King of the Ring 1993. Hottest takes on Bret Hart, Curt Hennig, and the one and only Mr.Hughes. What a worker! Oh, Gene Okerlund also gives us an all-timer. The naive Sam gets tricked by the World Wrestling Federation's propaganda. Dan tells us about his book-loving mother, and in general, we have a good time.

Oct 16, 20221h 13m

Ep 249Honorary Uce Ribbon

E

@theJML_ @theJML_ @theJML_ @theJML_ @theJML_ What the fuck is up? We do a lot of talking like too much talking about a lot of good shit but then we have to talk about wrestling. The wrestling is good because it's Stardom which is the promotion of the year.

Ep 248Talking Tourneys #2: NJPW's Super J-Cup 94

E

Dan and Sam are back again. Following up the conversation on the hoot that was Tournament of Death 3, we decide to chat about one of the most important tournaments in the history of of wrestling. Safe to say Super J-Cup 94 influenced a whole lot of the wrestling we see today. It was a highly successful of its times...but does it hold up? That's one of the questions we try to answer along with "Who owed Ricky Fuji?" and "Liger, good?". Hot topics that we are here to help with. (Sorry if there are some more audio hiccups than usual, had some weird hangups)
