Picture the scene, meatsiders: It's 2001, and the "big 3" of mainstream US wrestling has whittled down to just 1; and while the then-WWF acquired a number of contracted talents, many were left out of work. Thankfully, a team of legendary wrestling luminaries, backed by a self-made millionaire, were making plans for a family-friendly alternative to Vince McMahon's monopoly?So why, in 2025, is the XWF not a household name? Listen to "Big Meaty Cool's" ramblings to find out!Sorry about the audio quality too, folks. My youngest is a living petri dish, and he just happened to make me sick on recording day! However, I could still taste BOTH delicious volumes of "Hop Hut Summerslam" from Tiny Rebel Brewing Co!Follow the show @onemansmeatpod on twitter, and please leave a review on your podcast provider of choice!

"The Meat Macabre" parks up in the Scottish Highlands this time to stretch his legs and hunt some werewolves, as he reviews Neil Marshall's 2002 directorial debut: Dog Soldiers. Low budget? Yes. Low quality? No!Recording aided with both delicious "28 Years Later" themed IPAs by our latest brewery buddies; Newport's Tiny Rebel Brewing Co.

FEEL MY PAIN, MEATSIDERS, as I call on the Gods to help me discuss a force of nature in the late '80s and early '90s of the World Wrestling Federation. Always a whirlwind of power and tassels, The Ultimate Warrior would quickly rise to the top of the WWF, eventually dethroning "The Immortal" Hulk Hogan to win the World Heavyweight title. This episode looks at his reign, and discusses if it was a good move to let him run with the ball. This episodes tasty libations were "Che Guava", a tasty Lager; and "Chokka Mokka", a chocolate-infused stout, from the always fantastic William Brothers Brewing. Please follow the show on Twitter @onemansmeatpod if you don't already, and any reviews on your podcast provider of choice are always gratefully appreciated.
What happens when a noted exploitation director and a script-writer with a resume longer than his arm meet up to discuss creating a "more cerebral" version of Friday The 13th? Apparently, Maniac Cop!Chris (AKA "The Meat Macabre") hops out of the 2022 Skoda Scala to discuss this cult classic in detail, from inception to final product, while enjoying some delightful final product from Williams Brothers Brewing; "Juice Tygrrr", a pleasant DDH IPA & "Tin Man", a thirst-quenching Tropical IPA. Follow the show and get involved in the conversation over at @onemansmeatpod on Twitter, please & thank you.
Morning, all!The first year of NWA-TNA may have brought some good quality in-ring action, but watching it back in 2025, there was nothing to really draw the casual viewer in, so that they could also come to enjoy the likes of AJ Styles, Jerry Lynn & Christopher Daniels too. Then, along came the commandant of Crash TV, Vince Russo, and his company takeover storyline. Join "Big Meaty Cool" as he attempts to dissect the impact of Sports Entertainment eXtreme!Recording greatly aided by Williams Brother's Brewing, and their wonderful offerings; "Talking Head", a crisp, fruity, American Pale Ale & "Sapian", a boozy but bold Kveik Double IPA.Follow the show and join the discussion: @onemansmeatpod
Well meatsiders, it's been a while, but the main One Man's Meat show is BACK.... in solo form for the time being. And thank you to King Pigsbladders for tidying the logo up a bit. 2005 was a funny old year for Matt Hardy. Rejection from his lady love, and a termination of employment from WWE. But he wasn't about to take it lying down, instead seeking to carve out a new persona for himself. And where better to mould that character, but in mid-2000s super indie; Ring of Honor, against one of the greatest of all time, "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels. Yes folks, ya boy "Big Meaty Cool" reviews ROH: Fate of an Angel. Watch the show here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh0NmhKrxZ4 (You should, as it's an awesome event). Libations for the recording of this episode were "Joker IPA" & "Double Joker" from Williams Brothers Brewing of Scotland. Stay tuned for "Offally Lonely", a solo horror movie review podcast, coming soon.
Well, it's been a while since "Big Meaty Cool" & "Da Meat Guy" talked some forgotten freshness, so Chris drops a quick episode to talk about the future of the network going forward.
Another week of steadily declining quality folks, but Kwang IS AWESOME! And there was a delicious Arbor Ales treat for "Big Meaty Cool" to enjoy: "Matt La Blanche", a Coriander-heavy Witbier brewed in collaboration with France's Big Mountain Brewing Co. Follow the show: @onemansmeatpod on Twitter
Another solid week from all 3 companies really, and there's nothing wrong with that. Nor was there anything wrong with "Big Meaty Cool's" latest offering from Arbor Ales; "ZZ Hop", a session-strength NEIPA. Follow the show: @onemansmeatpod on Twitter.
Jeff Jarrett puts in another star performance, Raw promotes a Superstars match (I know!), and "Big Meaty Cool" was generally happy this week. It was probably to do with Arbor Ales and their wonderful "Citrus Maxima" Lemon & Lime Pale Ale. Follow the show: @onemansmeatpod on Twitter
Can we not just watch Spring Stampede again? After a decent 10 minutes, it's mostly downhill. Arbor Ales failed to disappoint again though, with their delicious "Helles Lager" Follow the show: @onemansmeatpod on Twitter
Could this be WCW's most perfect pay per view? It's certainly close! And a great show deserves TWO great pale ales fro Arbor Ales; "I speak for the trees" & "My Little Sabrony" Follow the show: @onemansmeatpod on Twitter
Superstars, Saturday Night, ECW... Oh my! And all good! As was "Big Meaty Cool's" latest can of awesome from Arbor Ales; "Can of Worms", a lovely Tropical Pale Ale. Follow the show: @onemansmeatpod on Twitter.
A much improved episode of Raw this week, but still no sign to the "New Era" yet. Arbor Ales were still on point though with their "Talus In Wonderland" American Pale Ale. Follow the show: @onemansmeatpod on Twitter.
A better episode of Raw, with a fun 10-man tag and new regular segment. The rest of the action "Big Meaty Cool" covers was ok too! And "Days Like This", a delicious, 4.7% Gluten-free Pale Ale from Arbor Ales, was terrific. Follow the show: @onemansmeatpod on Twitter.
Lex Luger sucks the life out of Monday, Jim Cornette is brilliant and Ted Dibiase starts his shell suit phase. And Arbor Ales bring the awesome with "Shangri-La", a tasty, West Coast style Session IPA. Follow the show: @onemansmeatpod on Twitter.
It's the 2nd ever Raw after Wrestlemania, but was it any good? "Big Meaty Cool" finds out! And we welcome Arbor Ales to the podcast with "Nashoba", a delicious, 6.2% NEIPA. Follow the show :@onemansmeatpod on Twitter
The 2nd WrestleMania of the podcast, and "Big Meaty Cool's" favourite, which doesn't make it perfect. The final DEYA Brewing pairing was "Tappy Pils", a 4.4% ABV German-style lager. Follow the show: @onemansmeatpod on Twitter
It's a mostly WCW-heavy episode today, but there's nothing wrong with that. There was also nothing wrong with today's craft beer pairing; DEYA Brewing's delightful 2.5% Lemon Radler. Follow the show: @onemansmeatpod on Twitter
