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 ...

We 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?)

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 ab...

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, fr...

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!

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 a...

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...

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.

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...
