Esai and Matt were attacked backstage and couldn’t make this episode, so Derek and Zack are holdin’ down Fort Wrestleboy this week, Solo Bolo style! They talk about Chris Jericho’s shocking appearance on New Japan Pro Wrestling, the wrestling references in Thor: Ragnarok (and some of their favorite wrestling references in pop culture), the wrestlers released by WWE last week, and NXT bringing back War Games for their next TakeOver PPV. This is some good wrestling...uhh...content. Make sure to go...

Brady Sauvageau of HeaterWrestling.com makes his surprise return to be the Wrestleboys' mystery tag team partner again in this week's episode, and friends, you can blame Jolly Rancher for this one. We talk about tables! We talk about ladders. We talk about chairs! We talk about The Mumps! (aka last week's TLC PPV). Including the last-minute changes WWE had to make in order for the show to go on, how (Too) Sweet the Finn Balor vs. AJ Styles match was, and how happy Daddy Kurt Angle was to hang ou...

This episode starts with Matt sniffing his microphone and, honestly, we can't say it ever starts making any more sense than that. We recap Raw and SmackDown, preview the upcoming Tables, Ladders, & Chairs PPV, discuss the recently released WWE 2K18 video game and its BUCK WILD character creator, then wrap things up by finally getting back into a HUGE Wrestleboy Classic Tournament match up of The Rock vs. Shinsuke Nakamura. By the end of it we're all VERY sleepy and you can tell by how deliri...

1, 2, 3! What's that? You thought that series of numbers meant the end of a wrestling match? Wrong! It was a strikeout from the USA Pastime Sport, Baseball, this time!

Matt is leaving us for Parts Unknown (aka, touring with his band), so we decided to record a very quick episode with him before he left. So here it is! The squash match of episodes!

Esai disappeared to Parts Unknown this week and there aren't any PPVs or big wrestling things to cover, really, so instead of doing a normal episode, we were graced with the presence of a downright regal guest! We talked with Logan Finch, (aka Marcus "King" Anderson), current Heavyweight Champion of our very own local indie promotion, Idaho Wrestle Club! We talked to him about his journey so far as an indie wrestler, Idaho Wrestle Club, his exciting plans for the near future and beyond, and most...

Unfortunately we're down a Wrestleboy in Matt this week, but we have our first guest ever to fill in for him, Brady Sauvageau from HeaterWrestling.com!

We also recap the week in wrestling, including Raw, SmackDown, and the BUCKWILD last two days of NJPW's G1 Climax Tournament. Speaking of that, we take some time to talk about some of the best trilogies and series of mat...

Sorry this episode is a little late, Wrestlefriends! Derek and Zack had to travel to go see a Solange concert, and Zack was too busy crying tears of joy to edit the episode in a timely Fashion (Peaks). This week, we recap a mostly unexciting (minus innovative office furniture weaponry and Cena's next-level verbal savagery) week of Raw and SmackDown, then get into some of wrestling's most SHOCKING moments. That ends up leading us down a pretty sobering but important discussion of brain injuries i...

We all have cool new wrestleboy names (brought to you in part by Dr. Pepper memes) now. Say goodbye to Derek, Esai, Matt, and Zack.

Boy howdy is there a bunch of stuff to cover from the last week of wrasslin' y'all! We talk about collective prison Sunday's Battleground PPV made us feel trapped in, a shockingly good week for Raw and SmackDown, Tuesday's shocking return, the first week of New Japan Pro Wrestling's aptly-named G1 Climax Tournament, and some of our favorite surprise returns and debuts of all time.

In episode 2, we take another swing at introducing ourselves (since our first attempt was lost to the decay of time (and bad audio quality)), and talk about things like essential wrestling terminology, best friends betraying each other, and the time Matt met Goldberg and some random skier at a car dealership. We then spend the bulk of our time discussing a big week in women's wrestling and the progression of women's wrestling over the last few years to where it stands today. Also, more ski talk.
