It's wall-to-wall lucha libre today as we watched the Rey Mysterio vs Psychosis, which was the opening match at WCW's Bash at the Beach 1996. Also, we look at the wild ticket packages for Wrestlemania 42, and Dusty chronicles the career of the most famous luchador of all time, the great El Santo.
Last week, we watched WWE's worst gimmick matches, so it was only fair that we gave WCW the same treatment. WCW was the king of hillbilly BS, and that lends itself to a lot of bad gimmick match potential. At the end, we rank them all to crown a king of garbage.

Gimmick matches have been a staple of wrestling programming for a long time, and some of them have become major high points. Unfortunately, for every Hell In A Cell, there is a House of Horrors match, so we watched four of WWE's worst gimmick matches to decide which is the worst ever. Subscribe!
At WCW's Superbrawl II show, Brian Pillman and Jushin Thunder Liger performed one of the greatest opening matches in the promotion's history.

We also discuss the WWE's new Saudi Arabia deal for Wrestlemania in 2027 and why it stinks.

Jake The Snake Roberts was pretty comfortably the third most over babyface in the WWF in 1990, but by the summer, he wasn't as hot as he had been recently. Enter a snooty French Canadian model with stinky perfume. Fireworks. First, we test the birthday present that Andrew got for Dusty (we finally got batteries!)Subscribe and tell your friends.
We had a different episode planned this week, but when you have a show like this and one of the most popular figures in the history of the medium dies, you change plans. Hulk Hogan inspired us and disappointed us, and both of those things are true at once. We break down our thoughts and review his Wrestlemania 18 match with The Rock. Subscribe if you're nice.

In this episode, we break down a classic match from Wrestlemania 21. Angle vs Michaels was pure wrestling vs sports entertainment, and we loved (almost) every second of it. We also discuss the upcoming slate of wrestling this weekend, spicy saugage egg McMuffins, and the life and career of Mad Dog Vachon.
We start this episode with a very quick review of Flamin' Hot Cool Ranch Doritos and then we talk about one of the most formative, iconic, and memorable wrestling feuds in history. The Irrestistable Force vs The Immovable Object. Hogan vs Andre set the stage for nearly all professional wrestling that followed, and it made a lot of people a lot of money. 00:00 - 07:56 Flamin Hot Cool Ranch Doritos Review07:56 - 1:46:52 Hulk Hogan vs Andre The Giant
In this episode, Andrew discovered Terrible Ted the wrestling bear, and he breaks down his bio that includes getting pinned, being in jail, and obviously a mauling.

This week, we look at what is without hyperbole one of the most influential tag teams of all time. The Dynamite Kid revolutionized professional wrestling with his mixing of styles from around the world, and Davey Boy Smith combined strength and agility in a way that was rarely seen before. While injuries and tragedy struck both of these men, what they did when they were on top will be felt for generations of professional wrestlers to come. We also do a really funny Jesse Ventura impression.Subscribe if you love wrestling!

When it comes to NWO-era WCW, there is a lot to make fun of. In an era of black shirts and bad bookings, they actually made a star with storytelling. The cast of characters were perfect, the story was compelling, and if it wasn't for the ending, this would be big time pro wrestling at its best.
In this episode, Andrew breaks down the life and career of Gustav Fristensky, a Czech hero who fought the Nazis and wrestled in the early 20th Century, and Dusty talks about the fate of a kind of promising wrestling promotion out of Las Vegas that employed Sabu, Cactus Jack, Warrior, and Tito Santana, among others. We then go over some recent news before we break down the main event of one of the greatest WWE PPVs ever, 1997's In Your House: Canadian Stampede.
Very rarely can a character who never spoke verbally have a profound impact on people. Sabu talked with his body, and not very many people can say that they did it like him. He was a true handshake between eras in wrestling, and his style lives on in countless wrestlers who are still working today. Plus, he was crazy as all get out. We will miss Sabu.
