Joe vs the World returns to celebrate its 15th Anniversary! Joe and Justin Shapiro reunite to finish looking back at 1997 WWF, which means we cover...[checks notes]...Montreal. Yikes. Still, we also look at the first Hell in a Cell, it's gotta be the debut of Kane, Vince hassles a widow, the formation of the New Age Outlaws, Rick Rude making the rounds, and oh so much more. Two plus hours of info and laughs! Whether you listened 15 years ago or this is your first episode, thank YOU!
Joe is back for a very special solo show, as he reads off predictions for 2018 submitted by listeners and some of the biggest pundits out there. Will Daniel Bryan wrestle again? Will the Bullet Club show happen? Will Joe bring the Podmass back (no). And Joe gets in on the fun with 5 big predictions of his own. 50 minutes of futuristic fun!
It’s a Christmas Miracle! Joe Gagne and Justin Shapiro return to recap some 1997 WWF (well, once Justin remembers who Joe is). A lot to cover in this episode, including backstage fights, Steve Austin gets crippled, Kane is (eventually) coming, a Sid eulogy, Michael Cole: voice of a generation, light heavyweight inaction, Gang Warz, failed contests, and much much more! 90 minutes of pulse pounding audio
Joe closes out his big decade celebration by continuing the We Heart Pro Wrestling series and asks seven more people: What's your favorite match of all time? Hear about War Games, lucha, and so much more. Over 100 minutes of Pro Wrestling Love!
Joe has an important question: What's your favorite match of all time? And he asked it to a bunch of his friends, guests new and old. Hear about Kenta Kobashi, a Royal Rumble, and even the Nasty Boys! Two hours of pro wrestling love!
One of the most popular Joe Vs. The World episodes was #49, as Rob Naylor and David Bixenspan did a deep dive on the Global Wrestling Federation. Well, with any successful endeavor, you slap on a few extras and rerelease it! So we all dive into the Global Wrestling Federation, just what it was, the roster, and all the wacky gimmicks. There are also a lot of tangents. A lot. The whole show is basically one big tangent. Rob coughs a lot. He also goes to McDonald's at one point. This all goes over 2 hours. I'm sorry and you're welcome.
Joe is joined by Justin Shapiro & Matt Feuerstein for part 4 of the epic History of WrestleMania series. The lads cover Manias 29-32, with topics including the end of Rock/Cena, being at Mania live, the series finale of Daniel Bryan, that Undertaker guy losing, the trouble with Roman Reigns, Shane McMahon: badass, more trouble with Roman Reigns, and so much more. We all kind of lose our minds during the 32 recap. 2 hours of majestic Mania talk!
The tenth anniversary of Joe Vs. The World kicks off with a return to the WWF in 1997.

Lost your smile? This show will give you something to listen to while you look for it!
