Dan and Sam dig into the historical tournament from WWA, their first PPV. One of the large promotions to come out of WCW's end. How to they capitilize on the gap in the market from over in Australia.

Ep 278CorpShillCrewXP

EOf course we come back and start by talking about UFC. Then it's AEW Revolution review minimal call outs but I swear it's quality over quantity

Ep 275Talking Tourneys #13: WCW's Nintendo Top 10 Challenge
EWe continue our journey through wrestling tournaments asking the age old question "What the hell WCW?"The matches are made up and the tournament doesn't matter. We go through the logistics of this whole thing. How much did Nintendo spend on this? How much did they overpay? Who is to say??? All the stars are here, Ricky Steamboat, Steve Austin, Ron Simmons, Dustin Rhodes and more. What could go wrong?

Ep 271Talking Tourneys #11: wXw's 16 Carat 2011

Big names at the time like Davey Richards, Sami Callihan, and WALTER (Big Van Walter here bby).

As always, leave a review on iTunes, RT the tweets, subscribe, etc etc

Ep 268Dem Boys
ERIP Jay

Ep 266TALKING TOURNEYS #9: FIGHTING NETWORK RINGS MEGA BATTLE 1994
EWhen 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 265Crumbling Empire

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

Ep 261Jake Lee Ving
EWe talk about the news you know it's a lot. We also talk about the Goddesses of Stardom final the D-ou grand prix final, Action wrestling Only Bangers # (show of the year?) and ROH Final Battle (moty?)

Ep 260Talking Tourneys #7: Mid American Wrestling's Heavyweight Title Tournament 3/30/2002
EMAW 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 259Historic Railroad Worker Double X-Over
EWe are joined about by @theJML_ to talk about Stardom Gold Rush and the Historic X-Over show

Ep 258Talking Tourneys #6: Mid American Wrestling's Heavyweight Title Tournament 12/15/2001
EEveryone 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
EWe 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 256D'Cowards
ED'Cowards by WDKW

Ep 255Talking Tourneys #5: NJPW Intercontinental Championship Tournament
EIn 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 254MaleTear
EListen we talked about wrestling eventually what do you want from us?

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

Ep 252KANONical
EAEW chat, news notes, GCW stinks, you know the deal. The main even is DDT and the god damned man Gooch

Ep 251All Day Braybee
EOf course we are talking about the biggest weekend for wrestling in German tag team tournaments yes that's right wXw's WTTF. Also open up with some chat about Bray "the fiend" Wyatt, AAA triple mania main event, Pentagon Jr, and Jacobin talking about the treatment of workers in WWE

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

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
EDan 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)

Ep 247Higuchi Gang
EWe got Sam in the house to talk about DDT Who's Gonna Top semi and main even title matches and then talk about a surprisingly good BLP Turbo Graps 24 tourney

Ep 246Talking Tourneys #1: CZW's Tournament of Death 3: Banned...MY ASS!
EWelcome to the very first episode of a new show on the We Don't Know Wrestling Podcast Network. Sam and former Desert Island Comp guest, Dan Rice, are setting on a journey to talk...them...tournaments. On this first episode we give a short rundown on what brought us here, why tournaments, and why we wanted to start off with this show. And then we hop into it. We talk about light tubes, small Canadians, and how much Necro Butcher rocks. The important things.

Ep 245Baked dot live
EWhen Q is gone there is really only one worth while fill in and it's Joseph Montecillio. We talk about wrestling stuff but really the only shit worth a damn is Parm v Anton Voorhees and Despey v Kasai

Ep 243Jimmy Bower House Hobbes
EGreat special guest Trevor Dame joins us to talk about AEW All Out and the other stuff you know what what that means

Ep 242WDKW 119: You Hear Ace Steel Bit A Guy? A Story of How The Elite Are Babies With Full Diapers
EAfter a short break because of a new job, we are back with We Don't Know Wrestling. This week we talk about the huge topic on everyone's mind. That's right, we talk about the recent announcement by IWTV of the T4: Territory Tag Team Tournament which will decide the first ever IWTV Tag Team Champions. Supposedly we also discuss AEW's All Out, the CM Punk Situation, and the hottest takes + tweets that came from it.
