Q&Tr

We Don't Know Wrestling has been going on way too long. I've definitely been podcasting for too long. This whole thing is a lot. So I pulled together some of my favorite clips from the past few years to celebrate this dumb milestone. These probably aren't everyone's favorite moments but these are the moments that made me smile, chuckle, ugly cry while going through the old episodes. Hope you enjoy.

The Wokebaes are here to bring you even more hot Mox talk and they even throw down some *s on AEW Double or Nothing for all the match rating lovers *art credit to omegaliciousss on tumblr*

The M8s are here to bring wrestling talk back from the dead.

Doing what we do whenever there is a sizable shift in the We Don't Know Wrestling structure...Tanner and me have a conversation that poorly sets the tone for what's to follow. We talk about movies, games, CONTENT, and wrestling...I guess. We had fun and hope you have fun listening to it.

Original formula is back as Tanner and I shoot the breeze on the 69th episode of We Don't Know Wrestling. Very philosophical episode as we discuss our growth as not just fans but people. Little light on wrestling as we do briefly talk about the weekend #BigMike is participating in. Not much else though. To imagine this was supposed to be a Halloween episode.

Kris Zellner joined Tanner and me on the 15th episode of We Don't Know Wrestling. This took place shortly after Wrestle Kingdom 10, learning there was a NJPW exodus to WWE. Please tell me what else happened on this show. There is a lot of NJPW & banter frankly.

Skylar joins me this week to reminisce about the greatest wrestling podcast ever, chat about his WDKW100 progress for 2018, and why computers are bad.

Can't shake him, Tanner is back with first time guest Tom Batista of Military Industrial Suplex fame. A real slow burn of an episode as elements of the race for the Senate in Alabama seeps into the episode. We obviously disgust wrestling and how it is confirmed terrible. Truly nauseating.

JR Goldberg joins me this week for what was going to be a Halloween episode and then breaks down to talk of Necro Butcher and CZW being weird. This is why I don't plan anything.

When I decided to do a podcast on the best lucha wrestlers of 2017 I knew there was only one person for the job. When they couldn't make it I was glad JR Goldberg could come on (jk jk). We go through the weird year lucha has had, talking up our favorite blood hungry mythical creatures of the year. Talk about the change in accessibility in lucha as well.

Indie wrestling in the United States can be a bit of a mixed bag. A lot of it feels the same, at least the wrestling that gets noted on social media. Then some you get some weird concept promotions. Occasionally you get actually good pro wrestling companies that use mostly local talent. AAW in 2017 had two territories that used a mix of strategy 1 & strategy 2, with each territory having a different split. On this episode of We Don't Know Wrestling, I talk to Bucky, first-time guest, about the AAW LaSalle shows which have a unique flair in the landscape of US indie wrestling. We go through each show briefly, going off on tangents along the way. Join us on this fun journey where I stumble over my words and sip coffee.

Dylan Hales joins me this week to talk a few chosen men who were neglected on a prior episode on WDKW100 candidates. That includes Fred "Don't Make Jokes About My Height" Yehi, Big Mike and his son, and the wild man of indie wrestling Joey Janela. Mostly it is Dylan making the case and then me making fart noises. He's watched more wrestling than I ever will so don't trust me, trust him.

After a hiatus brought on by the WDKW100, it only seemed fitting that the return featured a discussion about Dylan Hale's WDKW100 ballot. We break down his ballot block by block as well as discuss how some of his picks fit into the big picture. After hours of discussing the ballot itself, we also talk some overall thoughts on the list and what could potentially be improved next year.

Kevin Brown joins me in an episode dedicated to The King. Thank you Nick Gage for all that you have bestowed upon us. The grace you give can never be repaid. We were made in your image. We also talk about what's happening in pro wrestling right now which may involve wrestling being a cesspool.

Knew I needed to do a joshi primer for the WDKW100 but knew I only wanted to do it with one person so glad Alex could come on to discuss some of the candidates for 2017. Granted, you can find a lot more information on her Beginner's Guide to 2017 Joshi but I like to think the show does add some different perspectives for you. If you could leave a rating and review on iTunes that would be great!

CLASSIC EPISODE! Back to the archives to dig up this gem featuring Andrew and Brock discussing the sweetest science, backyard wrestling. Discussing the community around the sport and going through a list of matches that they sent me. All the content was bananas. Who to follow: @NotBrockJahnke @JustShillinglaw What to watch: Yarding for Dummies by Dummies

I went solo this episode...because I didn't put much effort into getting a guest this week. I go over thirty minutes and I keep running my glass jaw. I talk about a cool podcast and cool future wrestling website. I talk about a three-year-old project. I talk about the WDKW100. I talk about CODE OF CONDUCT. I let you know I'm selfish. Good stuff all around.

Brad...you were too good for this world. You gave us so much pleasure. A performer unlike any other. We never get to become too close to you. The only thing Gabe allows us to know is your mom died from cancer on 9/11. For that, I'm sorry. This show is the epitome of the Booking Genious's prowess but is only 8 matches, so how bad could it be?

This week Evan the Soccer Guy and Quentin Moody join me for a little roundtable discussion of undervalued wrestlers this year they deserve some shine. Folks that when putting together YOUR WDKW100 ballot should at least have been thought about. From Japan to Mexico to the US & UK indies, we tackle it. Buckle in for takes PS Shane Strickland sucks eggs

Monumentous occasion as myself and Bucky hop on Skype Call for the second time ever. This is the first episode in a series called WE DON'T KNOW EVOLVE!!! (Gabe's a racist). Very excited to go through each and every EVOLVE show up until the death of the promotion. We start with Evolve 1, where we get to lay witness to the prestigious EVOLVE Singles Division and Tommy Dreamer doing his pose. Humble beginnings for the premier indie going today. Give this a listen!

LENNY! LENNY LENNY LENNY! I MISS YOU DARLIN'! YOU LEFT ME WITH ROB? ROB?! WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU! I JUST WANTED TO LOVE YOU! RESPECT YOU! TREAT YOU RIGHT! GIVE FOOT RUBS LATE AT NIGHT! I WOULD GIVE YOU THE MOON AND STARS! I WOULD BECOME...the genius. Wrestling isn't fair.

THE AMERICAN KORAKUEN HALL IS GOING TO DIE AND GABE IS GOING TO BE THE LAST ONE IN ITS CARCASS! Was this show enjoyable? Who is to say. A show that makes you question reality at times. As if you have stepped into an alternate dimension where wrestling is a SPORT and Ahtu isn't the sexiest man in the building. This is...A Tribute to The Arena.

Welcome to the improbable first edition of We Don't Know EVOLVE 2: EVOLVE 2: Hero vs. Hidaka. Myself, Sam, and Bucky are back to give you the most in-depth retrospective on EVOLVE 2. The lows and the lesser lows. Big kicks, little shrimps. Gabe came to have fun and we are along for the ride. Lenny Leonard's feet.

In this episode from October 2016, Quentin Moody (@qt_moody) is joined by Chad Campbell (@bigboysplaywcw) of PWO/PTBN to talk about their favorite stories in wrestling history.

Bucky and Sam drop the hammer. We tell you the facts about EVOLVE 4: Danielson vs. Fish. As true wrestling pundits, we inform you who is Actually Good and who is Actually Bad. You might not like it but you will respect it.

Wrestling is an art form. It isn't about the MOVES. It about the STORYTELLING outside the ring. NOTHING quite personifies that than EVOLVE 3: Rise or Fall. The STORIES. WOW!!! Gorgeous George would LOVE EVOLVE 3: Rise or FALL. Bring back those FEET!

WE ARE BACK AND WE ARE BRINGING BACKUP! Bucky and Sam are joined by Phil Schneider, of Segunda Caida fame. We talk about the one-and-only EVOLVE 9. The show where Gabe embraces his love of the ABC Family teen dramas of the time. Also, orange tights. LISTEN TO OUR THOUGHTS ON POSSIBLY BUT ALSO POSSIBLY NOT THE BEST/WORST EVOLVE SHOW YET!

Webster's Dictionary defines evolve as: to develop gradually:to evolve a scheme. to give off or emit, as odors or vapors. Gape Sapolsky defines EVOLVE as emitting complete and utter garbage every which way. EVOLVE 6 is a staggering show. It recontextualizes the quality of the prior shows. I have never understood booking less than I do now. Bucky and I came in thinking "bad booking but good wrestling we can work with that" and that...that's not what we are getting. We get STORIES based on "alleged homosexuality" and one of the worst wrestlers on the planet being billed as a prodigy with no drive. I am broken. GOOD NEWS THOUGH, Bucky releases his hit new single this episode. Stay to the very end for a special tweet. (Please don't skip to the end. Please don't)

In this episode from August 2016, Quentin Moody (@qt_moody) and Timothy Buechner (@luchaundead) discuss the recently-wrapped feud between Zack Sabre Jr and Jonathan Gresham.

The origin story. The event the gave birth to a promotion (a promotion that was left to pull up its bootstraps after Gabe abanded it like I assume abandons everyone in his life once he squeezes him for all they're worth). The event that gave us stories that we will tell our children. The event that gave us Lenny truly embodying DADDY in such a full frontal way that I'm unsure how anyone under the age of 18 would be allowed to legally buy this show. Style Battle baby
