TNA Slammiversary 2025 has become quite divisive within the Internet Wrestling Community. Was it good, great, or terrible? Was it better than AEW's latest PPV outing? I'll talk about it all on the show. I'll also discuss the health of 2 huge wrestling legends, a former NXT star stepping away from the business, wrestling in movie theaters, and more!
This was one of the biggest wrestling weekends of the year, including WWE Saturday Night's Main Event with Goldberg's last match, AEW All In Texas, and WWE Evolution 2. There was a lot that went on, various injuries, retirements, and much more to discuss on the show.
This is the Main Event Marks, Dark Side of Wrestling History! Jack Pfefer exposed wrestling as staged, the Gold Dust Trio revolutionized wrestling’s style, Mitsuharu Misawa founded NOAH after leaving AJPW, and Pat Patterson’s legacy includes scandal, resilience, and groundbreaking influence. Meanwhile, I tell you how Antonio Peña’s split from CMLL formed AAA, reshaping lucha libre. L.A. Park’s name feud and Perro Aguayo Jr.’s tragic in-ring death show lucha’s dramatic, often heartbreaking histor...
I'm back for another review of a current show. This time, we're going to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for Night of Champions. After weeks of the IWC caterwauling about WWE needing to cancel the show, it went perfectly fine. We've got a new King and Queen of the Ring. Attitude Era finishes are back.

I apologize for the over-modulation on the crappy audio. I promise it will be better next time! I hope you still enjoy the content. I'm reviewing 1994's AAA/WCW crossover event, When Worlds Collide. In the news of the time, I'm covering Halloween Havoc '94 fallout, rumors over Hulk Hogan's contract negotiations, WCW getting sued all over the place, working relationships with Mexican lucha libre promotions, wrestling getting super hot in Japan, and I'll touch a little bit on big WWE releases and ...
With All Elite Wrestling holding their latest anniversary pay-per-view, Double or Nothing 2025, I felt the urge to do something I've never done on this show: Review a current show. I have no emotional attachment to this whatsoever, so I'm going in cold. I'll also be talking about WrestleMania 42's location issues, JR's cancer surgery, Billy Jack Haynes in trouble, and more in the news. www.youtube.com/@MarksOnMedia www.rumble.com/c/MainEventMarks Learn more about your ad choices.

All Elite Wrestling kicked off their pay-per-views in 2019 with Double or Nothing, main evented by Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho. The winner of that match would face the winner of the pre-show battle royal at All Out for the AEW World Title. The show was fine. Had some fun moments and great matches. But did it mean anything?

Let's explore them all! WrestleMania, the pinnacle of pro wrestling since 1985, has seen both unforgettable moments and disappointing events. Here, I'll rank the 10 worst WrestleManias, detailing their shortcomings and why they failed to meet expectations. WrestleMania 41 wowed fans with surprises, emotional moments, a...

It's the Grandest Stage of Them All; the SuperBowl or pro wrestling; the granddaddy of them all! WrestleMania is one of the most wonderful times of the year for wrestling fans, and we're bringing you never-before-heard audio for a brand new podcast! Before he passed away, Greg recorded reviews of quite a few WrestleManias with me that never aired. I pulled our reviews of those main events and made a fantastic show for you all to enjoy! From WrestleMania 1, to 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30, we're ...
It's time to step onto the Grandest Stage of Them All! From WrestleMania 3 to WrestleMania 34, we're hopping in the time-traveling wrestling ring to break down, analyze, and have tons of fun with wrestling history with WrestleMania main events! Some were good, some were bad, and some were somewhere in between. With some archived audio, we go through mega main event matches like Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant to Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns, Stone Cold vs. The Rock to Batista vs. Triple H, and s...
We're doing a retrospect on one of the most iconic feuds in wrestling history: Sting vs. Hulk Hogan in WCW. In honor of Sting's recent retirement from wrestling at AEW Revolution 2024, we'll look back at the epic battles, dramatic moments, and unforgettable matches that defined this legendary rivalry. From Fall Brawl 1995 all the way to Fall Brawl 1999 and everything in between, we'll explore how Sting and Hogan's feud captivated audiences and helped shape Hogan's run as Hollywood and Sting's tr...
He's the legend. He's the icon. He...is...Sting! As we say "goodbye" to Sting after his final match EVER took place at AEW Revolution, we are taking a look back at some fond memories of Sting's career. This week, we're covering Sting vs. Vader in WCW, whether they're one-on-one or in a multi-man match. Then, we cover the most infamous and star-making feud of Sting's entire career: Sting vs. Ric Flair! Most of the time, they were opponents, one-on-one, but sometimes, they were in tag matches or b...
Unfortunately, we're starting off the first show of 2024 with some extremely devastating news. However, we're still bringing you some fun content and we're gonna have a good time memorializing a great man who touched a lot of lives. This is a compilation of the greatest 30-man Royal Rumble matches we covered throughout the years. For the full shows, go back through our archives and give us a listen! Host Troy is joined by co-hosts Greg and Jacob Grondy (from the Curtain Jerkin' Podcast)! https:/...
Sixty Men... Three Rings... Three Giants... One Battle Royal! That was the tagline for the very first ever World War 3 event for WCW in 1995. It was not great, but it was unique and it drew a pretty good sized house in Virginia. Johnny B. Badd (not shockingly) opens the show against DDP for the TV Title and it tests the Diamond Doll's allegiances. The All Japan women are in tag-team action that puts what the WWF did a month earlier to shame. Big Bubba Rogers and Jim Duggan face off in a Taped Fi...
This is a comprehensive review of the greatest wrestling trilogy of all time. We will hear no other contenders! In 1989, "Nature Boy" Ric Flair took on Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat at 3 separate events: Chi-Town Rumble, Clash of the Champions VI: Ragin' Cajun, and WrestleWar '89: Music City Showdown. All 3 events kind of sucked and drew like crap. However, the one and only match from all 3 events that anyone was talking about (and is still talking about to this day) is Flair vs. Steamboat. Your ...
Just 6 days after Survivor Series 1991, we've got a shortened show titled This Tuesday in Texas. The Undertaker was only 1 year into his WWF run when he defeated the goose that laid the golden eggs, Hulk Hogan, to become WWF Champion on Taker's 1 year anniversary (with the help of Ric Flair). Now, he's the defending champion against The Hulkster. "Macho Man" Randy Savage also looks for revenge on the evil snake man, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, who had been making Savage and Miss Elizabeth's lives ...
The show may be called "November to Remember," but both the show and the year 1995 are things WE DO NOT want to remember! Per our usual arrangement, this show was a bleeding, disorganized mess. We did get to see some crazy things like Mikey Whipwreck defeating Steve Austin (pre Stone Cold) for the ECW Title and "The Hardcore Legend" Terry Funk in tag-team action with his protege, Tommy Dreamer. But beyond that, you're looking for corn in a turd. This dropped (pardon the poop pun) a day before Su...
Yes, we're going back to one of the worst years in professional wrestling history. The good news is this "New Generation" show is actually somewhat fondly remembered by wrestling historians. Diesel has been the WWF Champion for a loooong time and business has been way down. So, now what? We're going back to Bret Hart! There are also some pretty weird match-ups in the Survivor Series elimination matches, but it makes for some interesting situations. Women from All Japan Women's Wrestling are also...
This was Starrcade main event match 1-of-2 between Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes. However, this one...was for money! Soooo much money on the line in this show. Not only was a $1 million check on the line in the main event (along with, ya know, the World Heavyweight Title), but money was also on the line in the match of Tully Blanchard vs. Ricky Steamboat (along with, ya know, the World Television Title). This show was very repetitive in that respect. Joe Frazier was also the the referee for the mai...
Most of this show can honestly be described as, "This is stuff we could have, and SHOULD HAVE, only had to see on Nitro or Thunder." Unfortunately, they threw it onto a show they expected people to pay for. However, those are not the big stories of this show. The two biggest stories of Halloween Havoc 1998 were the disastrous, craptastic match between Hollywood Hogan and The Warrior that was more historically bad than their WrestleMania VI match was good. Then, WCW follows that up with possibly ...
There are a few awesome matches on this show, but man...it was a bit of a rough watch getting there. On this show, Nigel McGuinness takes on the dominant Takeshi Morishima for the ROH Title and begins his memorable, amazing reign as champion. The Briscoes and No Remorse Corps beat the hell out of each other. Roderick Strong and Austin Aries put on a clinic. The NWA gets showcased. On top of that, Sweet and Sour Inc. and Age of the Fall are all over this one. There are quite a few indy-riffic mat...
It was the first ever Hell in a Cell match in WWE history AND the debut of the Undertaker's "little brother," Kane! This was also our final stop on the road to the infamous Survivor Series 1997, which was Bret Hart's last match in WWE for over a decade. On top of that, Brian Pillman passed away in a hotel room before this event and the WWF broke the news on their pre-show, also giving any updates they had during the PPV itself. For not being all that great of a show, this was certainly an histor...
The wrestling industry was in a bad place in the fall of 1990, and this show was proof. There were a total of 10 matches on this show and only about 2-3 of them that were actually decent. The Steiner Brothers put the US Tag Titles on the line against The Nasty Boys, Doom defends the World Tag Titles against Ric Flair and Arn Anderson, Lex Luger's US Title is on the line against Stan Hansen, and Sting defends his World Title against Sid Vicious. This on top of other matches. In the news, we talk ...
One night. One cage. Zero WarGames. 500 matches. Yeah, this one was a bit rough to watch. Damn near every single match had a jumpstart, an afterbirth, and was heavily overbooked. Crowds for WCW were severely dwindling by this point, there was speculation over a sale for WCW, leadership was in disarray, and the whole thing was just a giant mess. Booker T at least got to defend his WCW Title against Kevin Nash in a fairly straight-forward Caged Heat match (which was literally just a cage match) to...
