| TNA Destination X, March 21st 2010 | 06 Nov 2025 | 02:01:26 | |
The Hogan/Bischoff era is well and truly settled in now. Let's celebrate with prat falls, dog tags and big money contracts. Nice. (Episode recorded October 2025) Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| TNA Impact, March 8th & March 15th 2010 (The New Monday Night War Begins!) | 06 Oct 2025 | 01:59:09 | |
It's time to tackle TNA's ill-fated attempt to recreate the mid-90s all over again, using mostly the same people. If we had a quid for every time Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair feuded, we'd have about £15, which isn't bad really. P.S. Sorry this one is a bit late, it's been a mad week! (Episode recorded September 2025) Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| BONUS EPISODE #9 - HUSTLE 3, May 8th 2004 | 06 Feb 2025 | 01:57:09 | |
Is this the weirdest show we've covered? It might well be! This show can be tracked down online, but a version with subtitles that we used for recording can be found on our Patreon. It's somehow even less comprehensible when you know what people are saying. Now let's do it together: 3...2...1...HUSTLE HUSTLE! (Episode recorded January 2025) Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| BONUS EPISODE #8 - Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends: "Wrestling" and "Looking for Love" | 27 Jan 2025 | 01:48:02 | |
Time to take a look at Louis Theroux's foray into low-level independent wrestling and WCW. Also, just because we want to, we watch and discuss possibly the greatest documentary star of them all, Lake Palmer! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| BONUS EPISODE #7 - IMPACT One Night Only: Hardcore Justice 2, July 5th 2013 (feat. Dave Elliott!) | 16 Jan 2025 | 01:53:00 | |
We ring in 2025 by dipping our toes into the tepid waters of TNA's self-contained pay-per-views, and we're joined by our friend, fellow comedian Dave Elliott! It's a lovely lovely time. Well, the chat is; the show is suitably poor quality. Enjoy! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| BONUS EPISODE #6 - Q&A Special! | 26 Dec 2024 | 02:10:59 | |
Festive greetings to you all! We're celebrating the end of Season 2 with a big heap of questions sent in by you, our lovely listeners! We were absolutely delighted with the number of responses; thank you, it really means a lot. Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| Season 2 Awards - The Best & Worst of WWECW | 06 Dec 2024 | 01:43:10 | |
We've got the tuxedos out of the wardrobe, we're all bloated from a fancy dinner, and we've had one too many cocktails - it's time for the awards ceremony! Let's find out who are the winner, the losers and the creamy middlers of Season 2! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| ECW on Sci-Fi #26&27, December 4th & December 11th 2006 | 14 Nov 2024 | 01:27:20 | |
It's the coda of Season 2 (before we do the awards, anyway), and the aftermath of December to Dismember is a real opportunity for a reset of ECW. An opportunity that the company absolute fails to seize. Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| PATREON PREVIEW - Straight to DDT #3: Pro Wrestlers vs Zombies | 31 Oct 2024 | 01:39:41 | |
As a special Halloween treat, we're uploading our review of the legendarily bad "Pro Wrestlers vs Zombies", the 2013 horror film starring Jim Duggan, Roddy Piper, Matt Hardy, Reby Sky, Kurt Angle, and The Franchise, hahahahahahahahaha! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| ECW December to Dismember, December 3rd 2006 | 24 Oct 2024 | 01:44:33 | |
It's here! WWECW has supposedly been building to this show for months; will it have the air of a Wrestlemania? Almost certainly not. Will it be any good? Almost certainly not. Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| ECW on Sci-Fi #23, 24 & 25, November 14th, November 21st & November 28th 2006 | 03 Oct 2024 | 01:59:07 | |
It's a bumper episode as we count down to December to Dismember. Three weeks of TV, so surely some stuff has to happen, right? RIGHT?! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| ECW on Sci-Fi #21&22, October 31st & November 7th 2006 | 12 Sep 2024 | 01:18:53 | |
It's Halloween, it's the Sci-Fi Network, surely that'll be good for some exciting content as the build to December to Dismember kicks into high gear, right? Wrong! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| TNA Impact, February 18th & February 25th 2010 (Abyss gets Hogan's ring) | 05 Sep 2025 | 02:44:52 | |
The road to Monday night Impact becomes a lot clearer, and it mostly revolves around Hulk Hogan's Hall of Fame ring. Yes, it's that episode. (Episode recorded August 2025) Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| BONUS EPISODE #5 - The Places We Went #2 - AEW All In, August 25th 2024 | 27 Aug 2024 | 02:07:33 | |
Two very sleepy boys with sore throats take a deep dive into this weekend's action at Wembley. As a bonus, this episode also includes some poo chat. Consider yourself lucky! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| ECW on Sci-Fi #19&20, October 17th & October 24th 2006 | 22 Aug 2024 | 01:32:49 | |
Season Two is entering the home straight, although actually that's not the best metaphor, as the home straight usually implies an exciting picking up of the pace. ECW on Sci-Fi is very much not achieving that objective! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| ECW on Sci-Fi #17&18, October 3rd & October 10th 2006 | 01 Aug 2024 | 01:29:20 | |
Silver lining: ECW on Sci-Fi is finally trying something new. Massive cloud: the thing they're trying is Extreme Strip Poker. Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| ECW on Sci-Fi #15&16, September 19th & September 26th 2006 | 11 Jul 2024 | 01:32:00 | |
Full disclaimer: Alan and Ronan are very hungover for this one. Is ECW on Sci-Fi the ultimate hangover cure? Of course not! An added layer of torture has been added, as this episode starts with a review of DX against Big Show and the McMahons inside *adopts Vince McMahon/gruff hangover voice* HELL IN A CELL! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| PATREON PREVIEW - Straight to DDT #1: Money Plane | 24 Jun 2024 | 01:21:48 | |
Enjoy a little sneak peek of just some of the great content available on our Patreon *(http://patreon.com/twtwpod), with this, the first edition of Straight to DDT, where we cover wrestlers in bad films! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| ECW on Sci-Fi #13&14, September 5th & September 12th 2006 | 20 Jun 2024 | 01:10:48 | |
Hey look, ECW on Sci-Fi hasn't been great so far, but apparently they're trying new things here, so maybe...*checks notes*, oh God. Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| BONUS EPISODE #4 - The Best There Was #1: Beyond the Mat | 12 Jun 2024 | 02:25:02 | |
As a (somewhat belated) second birthday present to ourselves, we're starting a new bonus series called The Best There Was, where we finally review some good things. We start with arguably the greatest wrestling documentary of all time, as TWTW delves into Beyond the Mat! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| ECW on Sci-Fi #11&12, August 22nd & August 29th 2006 | 30 May 2024 | 01:23:59 | |
Summerslam is over, but it's still Groundhog Day in ECW, as we watch a lot of rematches again. Still, is it possible that these may actually be a couple of decent episodes of TV? I mean, not really, but any port in a storm! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| WWE Summerslam, August 20th 2006 | 09 May 2024 | 01:44:33 | |
Season 2 takes a quick detour into WWE proper, and it's a decision that we now greatly regret. Who's ready for the biggest funeral of the summer? Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| ECW on Sci-Fi #9&10, August 8th & August 15th 2006 | 18 Apr 2024 | 01:54:40 | |
This is a very silly episode. Frankly, finding anything funny in this continuous dross is great luck in itself. You won't believe this, but we get some bad squash matches, low-quality vignettes and bad Tommy Dreamer segments! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| TNA Against All Odds, February 14th 2010 | 07 Aug 2025 | 01:45:06 | |
We all love a tournament! Well, on paper at least. Anyway, who cares about a tournament when there's opportunity for Eric Bischoff to insert himself into everything again? (Episode recorded April 2025) Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| First Video Episode Released! | 10 Apr 2024 | 00:01:47 | |
Hello! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| ECW on Sci-Fi #7&8, July 25th and August 1st 2006 | 28 Mar 2024 | 01:42:24 | |
It's Groundhog Day all over again, as Kelly strips, Kevin Thorn gurns, and The Big Show defends his title against some very un-ECW challengers. It's all happening! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| ECW on Sci-Fi #5&6, July 11th & 18th 2006 | 07 Mar 2024 | 01:56:38 | |
The Big Show Era of WWECW begins, and WWE has picked the perfect first challengers for his title. I mean, when you think ECW, you think Ric Flair and The Undertaker, don't you? Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| ECW on Sci-Fi #3&4, June 27th & July 4th 2006 | 15 Feb 2024 | 01:27:01 | |
Okay, there's no denying that ECW on Sci-Fi got off to a rocky start, but things have to get better from here, right? Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| ECW on Sci-Fi #1&2, June 13th & June 20th 2006 | 25 Jan 2024 | 01:24:14 | |
It's time to get into the meat of the season, and it turns out Alan needn't have worried about Ronan liking it. What fresh hell is this? Time to dive in to some tepid tepid action! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| ECW One Night Stand, June 11th 2006 | 04 Jan 2024 | 02:08:54 | |
It's the final stop before the true beginning of WWECW, and you know what, it's not half bad! Does that bode well for the future of the ECW brand? Well, hindsight being what it is, absolutely not. Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| EXTRA SPECIAL BONUS EPISODE - The Stupid Sexy Podcast, "My Sister My Sitter" | 29 Dec 2023 | 01:28:19 | |
Hope you're all having a good Christmas! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| WWE vs ECW: Head-to-Head, June 7th 2006 | 14 Dec 2023 | 01:30:08 | |
We're just a few days away from One Night Stand 2006, but first there's got to be this slightly weird TV special! Lots of ECW chanting ahead, although sadly it's more from the wrestlers than the fans. Plus a Big Show swerve on the horizon! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| ECW One Night Stand, June 12th 2005 | 23 Nov 2023 | 02:11:15 | |
Season Two proper gets underway with the very first WWE-produced ECW show. Does it hold up? Is WWECW peaking right at the very start? Why doesn't Triple H want to work Tuesdays? So many questions! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| ECW Guilty as Charged, January 7th 2001 | 02 Nov 2023 | 02:21:36 | |
It's time for Season Two! In preparation for their deep dive into the horrors of WWECW, Alan and Ronan take a look at the original ECW, and try to figure out what made it so special. Was it the hardcore action, the risky storylines, the rampant misogyny? So many possibilities! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| TNA Impact, January 21st & January 28th 2010 (The Orlando Screwjob) | 02 Jul 2025 | 02:57:36 | |
Okay, it hasn't got off to a great start, but things can turn around, can't they? All we need is a Montreal rerun, and then we're off to the races! (Episode recorded April 2025) Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| BONUS EPISODE #3 - WWF Survivor Series, November 24th 1993 (feat. Heather Anderson!) | 12 Oct 2023 | 02:21:57 | |
Ronan and Alan conclude the bonus episode run alongside podcaster, comedian and Alan's co-host on The Stupid Sexy Podcast, Heather Anderson! Together they explore a very lean period in WWF history, and ask all the key questions, such as "is Vince McMahon a good announcer?" and "Is Paul Bearer a hunk?" Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| BONUS EPISODE #2 - Ric Flair's Final Matches (2008, 2011 & 2022) (feat. William Thompson!) | 21 Sep 2023 | 02:33:48 | |
The bonus episode series continues with TWTW's very first guest co-host, as comedian, podcaster and fan of the show William Thompson sits in with Alan and Ronan. Their unenviable task is to chart the decline of Ric Flair's in-ring ability through three matches that all seemed at one time to be his last (surely the third one is, right?). Not only that, we get the first TWTW reference to Heidenreich! This one has it all. Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| BONUS EPISODE #1 - The Places We Went #1: AEW All In, August 27th 2023 | 01 Sep 2023 | 02:56:53 | |
A little later than billed, much like all planes in the UK the next day, it's time to talk about some wrestling that was actually really rather good! A big old work trip for TWTW to London for a whole lot of grappling goodness! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| Season 1 Awards - The Best & Worst of Russo's WCW | 10 Aug 2023 | 01:39:18 | |
We made it! Season 1 of TWTW comes to a close, as Alan and Ronan run down the good, the bad and the ugly of WCW from September 1999 - September 2000. Plus details are revealed about upcoming bonus episodes, AND the era of Season 2 is revealed! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| WCW Monday Nitro, September 25th 2000 (Vince Russo wins the World title) | 20 Jul 2023 | 01:59:39 | |
The Vince Russo era of WCW comes to a screeching halt. Does the big man go out with a bang or a whimper? We find out in CAGED HEAT. Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| WCW Fall Brawl, September 17th 2000 | 29 Jun 2023 | 02:05:52 | |
It's the final pay-per-view of Season One, and it's filled with terrifying lows, dizzying highs and creamy middles! Can Vince Russo stick the landing of his WCW tenure? Ya never know! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| WCW Monday Nitro, September 4th 2000 (Wargames 2000: Russo's Revenge) | 08 Jun 2023 | 01:59:32 | |
Russo's farewell is getting tantalisingly close, but first it's time for Russo's Revenge! Bro, I got an idea: what if Wargames was bad? Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| WCW New Blood Rising, August 13th 2000 | 18 May 2023 | 02:35:25 | |
Ronan and Alan did not really enjoy this show. Or maybe they did? Is this a work or a shoot? Find out at the very confusing New Blood Rising! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| WCW Bash at the Beach, July 9th 2000 | 27 Apr 2023 | 02:35:40 | |
Works, shoots and worked shoots are everywhere you look. Vampiro's up in a tree, there's cake on the ground, and Vince Russo is all sad. Could this be the greatest night in the history of our sport? Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| WCW Great American Bash, June 11th 2000 | 06 Apr 2023 | 02:09:32 | |
A night where Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair might have to retire, and Eric Bischoff has promised an announcement that will shake the wrestling world to its foundations. Does the Great American Bash live up to the hype? You can probably guess. Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| TNA Genesis, January 17th 2010 | 05 Jun 2025 | 02:30:45 | |
It's the first PPV of the Hogan/Bischoff era, and there's no more stinkin' playpen rings, and lots more Sean Morley. That will definitely go well... (Episode recorded March 2025) Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| WCW Monday Nitro, June 5th 2000 (Goldberg Returns!) | 16 Mar 2023 | 02:01:02 | |
It's the last stop before the Great American Bash (we're not counting Thunder; no one counts Thunder), and it features the in-ring return of Goldberg, Flair Vs Russo in a cage, and Kevin Nash taking on the entire New Blood. What a night, sort of. Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| WCW Slamboree, May 7th 2000 | 23 Feb 2023 | 02:24:29 | |
David Arquette is your reigning, defending, undisputed, undefeated WCW World Heavyweight Champion - it's time for the Triple Cage, baby! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| WCW Thunder, April 26th 2000 (David Arquette wins the big one) | 02 Feb 2023 | 02:00:42 | |
It's 2000, it's Thunder, it's David Arquette in a WCW World Heavyweight title match. You know how this ends. May God have mercy on us all. Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
| Ready to Rumble | 12 Jan 2023 | 02:00:44 | |
A change of pace in this one, as Alan and Ronan take a deep dive into the infamous movie that may have been a big factor in WCW's downfall. Was it worth it? Eh, well, you can listen to find out, as opinion is divided! Linktree - http://www.linktre.ee/twtwpod | |||
