The FIRST Women's Rumble is easily the highlight of the 2018 Royal Rumble. Loaded with pops, returns, and a fantastic winner. The Men's Rumble finishes strong, but there is some serious Filler to prolong this card.

We have the first ever Backlash! The undercard is diverse, with HoFers, classic gimmicks, and definitive Guys. The Triple Main event goes 1/3, but that one is an absolute HOMER: Rock v Austin.

Hey, remember the pandemic? Money In The Bank 2020 was the 2nd PPV without fans, and boy could you tell they were throwing everything at the wall. A cinematic titular match, a chaotic Fatal 4-Way for the tag titles, and certified banger which was clamoring for fans.

We had something great to watch last week, so naturally the Randomizer decided it fit to hand us David's favorite era: Death of WCW. You can tell right off the bat that this was going to be one of *THOSE* shows, with WCW having a different logo for the annual event. There are Stings plural, a DQ finish to the world title match, Bill DeMott going "over", and just so much more. Two And A Half Marks is not affiliated with the WWE/WWF/WCW/TNA/AEW/any promotion or any of the professional wrestlers named in this podcast.

We are back in our wheelhouse with Backlash 2007 AKA The Dawn of the Marks. With a main event between John Cena, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, and Edge, you know things are going to be nuts. There's also Benoit stealing a win from MVP, Mickie James and Melina getting time to put together a solid match, and plenty of back stage shenanigans. Two And A Half Marks is not affiliated with the WWE/WWF/WCW/TNA/AEW/any promotion or any of the professional wrestlers named in this podcast.

Well, not everything from the Attitude Era can be good, and Armageddon 1999 certainly proves that. With a main event between Triple H and his father-in-law, after Triple H injured himself in a walk through, it was cursed from the start. Hidden in the dirt is a solid Kane-X-Pac Steel Cage match with some unique chicanery, and a fantastic IC Title match between Chris Jericho and the 9th Wonder of the World, Chyna. Two And A Half Marks is not affiliated with the WWE/WWF/WCW/TNA/AEW/any promotion or any of the professional wrestlers named in this podcast.

The Summer of Marks is going strong, with a trip to the Attitude Era of WWF. The Rock, Kurt Angle, Triple H, Stone Cold Steve Austin, all your favorite late 90s/early 00s wrestlers are here for No Way Out 2001. There's the seldom used 3 Stages of Hell Match for H and Austin, The Rock setting records, and a whole lot of interference. Two And A Half Marks is not affiliated with the WWE/WWF/WCW/TNA/AEW/any promotion or any of the professional wrestlers named in this podcast.

WE BACK! Apologies for the hiatus, but with "Workin' Man" Jake Long and Angelo Inglisa & David Statman switching locales, some time off was neccessary. But there's no better way to get back in the swing of things than some Death of WCW! Angelo marks out for a *checks notes* Buff Bagwell-Shane Douglas match, Jake puts over Vince Russo's promo, and the Marks remark on one of the darkest days of WCW.  Two And A Half Marks is not affiliated with the WWE/WWF/WCW/TNA/AEW/any promotion or any of the professional wrestlers named in this podcast.

We proved the doubters wrong folks! The Marks have made it to 50 episodes, AND it's been a whole year since we started this podcast. To celebrate, we have friend of the podcast Nicholas Perillo make a run-in for today's episode. We see Joey Mercury's face explode, MVP and Mr. Kennedy eat gimmick match Ls, Jimmy Wang Yang steals the show, and some big time Batista.

It only took 49 episodes, but FINALLY, the Marks have the first truly iconic Attitude Era event. While the King of the Ring tournament was largely overshadowed despite featuring The Rock and Ken Shamrock, this event is most well known for being the night Mick Foley tried to end himself from the top of Hell in a Cell. We also have a forgotten main event between Kane and Steve Austin, and one heck of a side conversation.

Ah, Summerslam 2017, a simpler time. John Cena is working as a part-time trolling Baron Corbin. The Women's division is carrying the first half this show. Jinder Mahal is champion *record scratch* JINDER MAHAL IS CHAMPION?!?!? But hey, everything is great when the main event is four of the best hosses WWE has to offer attempting to kill each other for the WWE Championship.

Well, folks, The King is back, and he is amped for a bikini contest. But besides the lecherous Jerry Lawler, Fully Loaded is filled to the brim with Attitude Era stars whom we have not seen in some time. Chyna, D'Lo Brown, Val Venis and more make their reappearances, as well as a main event featuring Stone Cold, the Undertaker, Kane and Mankind. But best of all, a special match between Owen Hart and Ken Shamrock.

WARNING: While all Two and A Half Marks Podcasts are labeled "EXPLICIT", this one is even more so. The Kurt Angle-Booker T-Sharmell angle was truly reprehensible, even compared to the times. We get to see a Lars Sullivan prototype, true heel Eddie Guerrero, the legendary MNM stable, as well as a fantastic "I Quit" match between vet JBL and the up-and-coming John Cena. Just be prepared for Kurt. Two And A Half Marks is not affiliated with the WWE/WWF/WCW/TNA/AEW/any promotion or any of the professional wrestlers named in this podcast.

Regarded as the last "good" WCW PPV, Spring Stampede '99 does generally deliver. The cruiserweights tear it up, Scott Steiner goes full Big Bad Booty Daddy, and DDP does the thing.

It has been almost 3 months since we last visited good ole' WCW, and the Marks were gifted with an event during the peak of its run. SuperBrawl 8's main event was a Sting-Hogan match for the WCW World Title, but that's besides the point. We have Booker T busting his has through a swerve, Jericho and Juventud Guerrera burning down the Cow Palace, and more washed stars than an LA bath house.

Well, our last trip to a single-digit 'Mania was so good, might as well watch the same event, BUT AMERICAN. With the Iraqi War currently going on, we see Ultra-American Man Hulk Hogan taking on Iraqi Sympathizer Sgt. Slaughter for the WWF Title in the main event, which falls flat for a lot of reasons. But with a Retirement Match between Ultimate Warrior and Randy Savage on the under card with TWELVE other matches, there is a lot more things than patriotism to talk about.

We return to the aughts with Over The Limit 2010, a PPV that AUGHT have been named something else. Maybe the most cursed event that the Marks have covered, as multiple wrestlers suffered significant injuries, and most matches had very obvious outcomes. However, the CM Punk-Rey Mysterio Hair vs Pledge match stole the show, even if the Marks disagree about whether that is a good thing or not.

FINALLY, David, Jake, and Angelo get some 80s WWF, and a Wrestlemania no less! With the Mega-Powers set to explode in the main event, you'd assume they would have some solid matches leading up to that ultimate finally. They have a whopping 14 matches, so there were plenty of opportunities to throw something of value on the card. We also get some classic guys like Jake the Snake Roberts, Andre the Giant, The Ultimate Warrior and Rick Rude, so surely there is something else here, right?

Well, the Randomizer wasted no time throwing the Marks back into the fire. The 2nd trip to ECW-land is Hardcore Heaven 1997, the 2nd ever ECW PPV. With some extremely poor production quality, as well as some not-so-enthusiastic fans, the show has a lot working against it. Can guys like RVD, Sabu, and Tommy Dreamer as well as the Forbidden door that Jerry "The King" Lawler stepped through make the save? Or is it doomed to have better been forgotten?

Have you ever wanted your wrestling to feel more like a soap opera? Well, AAA is the promotion for you. Featuring the very unique Minis division to open the show, we also some of our WCW favorites like Chris Benoit, 2 Cold Scorpio and Rey Mysterio. Throw in the enigmatic La Parka, a Lucha de Apuestas with Eddie Guerrero's hair on the line, and MAIN EVENT KONNAN, you get a really entertaining show.

Our 2nd trip to the nostalgia-filled to 2006 is not nearly as rose-colored as last time. Due to *Teddy Long Voice* ELEVATED ENZYMES, this card scratched 2 title matches and butchered the plans for the first ever Punjabi Prison match. We get more King Booker, more Rey Mysterio, Mr. Kennedy bloodied, and a genius idea for the next King of the Ring.

For the 2nd time in the past month, the Marks have a 2010's house show masquerading as a PPV, this time from Corpus Christi. And look, it's Dean getting screwed out of the WWE Title again! We also have 2 Elimination Chamber Matches, one full of delightful tag team shenanigans and the other for... the IC Title? Do you Bo-lieve in miracles?

Never let a math major do an audio producers job.

When you look at the card for Backlash 2002, it is hard not to get excited. Hogan-HHH, Taker-Stone Cold, Angle-Edge, and more. But it just feels off. Be it Scott Hall taking on JBL for no good reason, or RVD and Eddie Guerrero falling short of expectations, this PPV is extremely up and down. But hey, we got a solid Women's match and what could go wrong with some extra Flair?

A rare, Hogan-less late 90's PPV, the '97 Bash is oddly just about wrestling. Not too many nWo hijinks, generally good matches, and DDP in the main event! Somebody get Bill DeMott off my screen, though. Two And A Half Marks is not affiliated with the WWE/WWF/WCW/TNA/AEW/any promotion or any of the professional wrestlers named in this podcast.

"A house show with a killer main event"- Jake Long, "The New Day are the perfect way to start a PPV"- David Statman, "WHY DIDN'T DEAN GO OVER?!?!"- Angelo Inglisa. Roadblock was certainly a unique PPV to get, with more of an NXT/house show feel, but Dean Ambrose-HHH lives up to the main event hype. We also have the first New Day appearance, Enzo Amore's super fun catch phrases, a Brock Squash, and pure babyface Sami Zayn.

When people thought the apocalypse was coming with Y2K, one might think that they were talking about the impending doom of WCW. Bash at the Beach 1999 was certainly a cursed PPV, headlined by a sham boxing match and a tag team match for the World Title. Yeah, you read that correctly. We also get some Jersey Triad, Buff Bagwell, an ancestor of the cinematic match, and the answer to the question "Is rap crap?".

A bit of nostalgia for the Marks as the head back to the early 2010s with Night of Champions 2011. While Angelo and David nerd out over Hall of Pain Mark Henry, Jake acknowledges that there are a BUNCH of important feeling guys up and down the card. The Awesome Truth brings conspiracy theories, John Cena brings the troll to noted P.O.S. Alberto Del Rio, and WWE brings utter nonsense to the main event.

Now, the Marks have watched well over 80 hours of wrestling to this point. There has been great moments, and absolute trash. However Battle Bowl is the most sinful of wrestling: boring. David, Jake, and Angelo struggle to find any positives with this one time WCW event. Somehow, not even Vader, Sting, Steve Austin and Ric Flair could save this from the doldrums.

The Marks FINALLY revisit the realm of NXT, and this time it is some early NXT proper. Takeover: Brooklyn, the first NXT event to take place outside the realm of Full Sail, was the dawn of an epic run for the brand. On the card, we have Jushin Thunder Liger's only WWE match, the debut of Apollo Crews, the hilarious Vaudevillians, and 2 INCREDIBLE Singles Title Matches. This week, David, Jake and Angelo are N-X-T. Two And A Half Marks is not affiliated with the WWE/WWF/WCW/TNA/AEW/any promotion or any of the professional wrestlers named in this podcast.

Thirty, count' em, THIRTY episodes for Two And A Half Marks! To celebrate this special occasion, David, Jake, and Angelo take a trip to late 2000s TNA. Lockdown was a PPV that featured every match in a steel cage, and mileage may vary on the different was they utilized this for match stipulations. But we have the Main Event Mafia, young Xavier Woods, Awesome Kong, and a very in over his head Mick Foley. Was it awful, or actually pretty good? The answer might surprise you.

WELCOME EVERYBODY TO WWF SNOOZERSLAM 1995, I'M YOUR HOST ANGELO INGLISA AND THIS IS THE MOST EXCITEMENT YOU'LL GET! While not as insane and bad as WCW Fall Brawl 2000, Summerslam '95 has very few high spots, and serves as a nice sedative. We get a rematch of the legendary Razor Ramon-Shawn Michaels ladder match, a solid clinic in opening bouts between Hakushi and The 1-2-3 Kid, but when the main event features Kevin Nash, you might as well dash.

After a wonderful streak of events, Lady Luck has decided to mar the Marks with some true Death of WCW. Fall Brawl has Vince Russo's stench all over it, and he even makes an appearance. With just one traditional singles match on the card, things get crazy in a hurry. Was WCW's last bit of product featuring guys like Kwee Wee, General Rection, and the Insane Clown Posse that bad?  Two And A Half Marks is not affiliated with the WWE/WWF/WCW/TNA/AEW/any promotion or any of the professional wrestlers named in this podcast. Music courtesy of Tyler Montgomery (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5o_0BoTvWg).

Adding to the streak of heaters that the Marks have been getting is probably the most iconic wrestling storyline of the 2010s: CM Punk threatening to leave the WWU with the WWE Title. A great storyline with great performers ultimately leading to CM Punk fleeing through the Chicago crowd with the WWE Title in tow. Does the rest of the card stack up?

Who could forget 2008 WWE? Edge and Vickie Guerrero were a thing, Randy was starting to hear voices, and Ric Flair couldn't lose lest he be fired. The Marks certainly remember. Join David, Jake, and Angelo as the relive 08's Royal Rumble, featuring MVP, Rey Mysterio vs Edge, and BYE GOD THAT'S JOHN CENA!

We are at the tail end of the "Real Sports" era, with a pending Hulk Hogan looming large over Spring Stampede '94. The card certainly feels like a big time event, but the finishes lead a lot to be desired. Nick Bockwinkel, do your job!

Probably the most iconic spot that the Marks have had to date: Starrcade 1998 AKA The Night Goldberg's Streak Ended AKA The Scott Hall Taser Spot. With that as the highlight of the show, it is surprising how little build there was on the rest of the card. We had an hour of cruiserweight greatness, a fun Jericho-Konnan match for the TV Title and that's it. Norman Smiley, Scott Norton, and even Ric Flair could not save this card.

Well, it isn't In Your House 4. David, Jake, and Angelo head back to a few months before their Summerslam episode with RAW's Vengeance. The overarching story is RAW v ECW, with Orton-Angle, Cena-Sabu, and RVD-Edge for the WWE Title. But the main event is a twisted combo of comedy and nostalgia: DX reunited against the Spirit Squad the made one team look like a bunch of jabronis. HINT: it was not DX.

The Marks encounter all kinds of nostalgia with Survivor Series 2009, with a bunch of guys they grew up with, and a bunch of guys they're still watching now. 3 Survivor Series Matches make sure no guy (or gal) goes unremembered, 2 Triple Threat Matches for the World Titles tell the story of greed between tag teams, and Batista murders Rey Mysterio.

I hope you like the 80's! Starrcade 1988 was definitely a very 80's PPV, headlined by Ric Flair vs Lex Luger for the Heavyweight Championship in a 30 minute piece of art. But that's not all, as we also get MORE KEVIN SULLIVAN (and Dr. Death), 2 Midnight Express 2 Handle, Russians who aren't Russian, lovable Rick Steiner, and more!

The Marks are back with Part 2 of their All In episode. Despite only 5 matches to discuss, the Marks wax poetically about almost everything on this half of the card. Jake puts over Joey Janela, his favorite New Jersian, David gets to dissect his 2018 dream match: Cleaner Kenny Omega vs Penta El Zero, and the main event absolutely melts Angelo's face off.

SCREW THE RULES. David, Jake an Angelo decide to ditch the Randomizer for an episode, and instead dissect the first half of the 2018 event, All In. This event is recognized as what kick started the dawn of All Elite Wrestling, WWE's biggest competition in almost 2 decades. We have MJF heeling it up, the TV's Green Arrow Stephen Amell taking on consummate pro Christopher Daniels, a hell of a Women's 4-Way match, featuring the first woman to hold the TNA World Championship, and a CLASSIC: Nick Aldis taking on Cody Rhodes in a prizefight for the NWA Championship.

We had some Scott Hall and Kevin Nash on the last episode, so let's meet Razor Ramon and Diesel! In Your House 4, retroactively named Great White North, was more like In The Trash. The main event, Diesel vs Davey Boy Smith, was an utter wreck that had Vince swearing up and down once they went off air. Speaking of Vince, you get to hear a lot of him on commentary, which adds to the misery. On the bright side, at least there was a solid tag match featuring Billy and Bart Gunn taking on Razor and the 1-2-3 Kid.

In this episode of Two And A Half Marks, we revisit the mid-90s WCW. We are one month away from the famous Hulk Hogan heel turn, but that doesn't mean there is some substance on this card. There's a super hyped up Kevin Greene and Steve McMichael vs Ric Flair and Arn Anderson match with a fantastic story. There's also some Sting, Steven Regal, DDP, Konnan, Young Rey Mysterio, Chris Benoit and so much more. Oh, and a lack luster WCW Title match between The Giant and Lex Luger.

On this episode, the Marks go off the rails as David works for that explicit tag. We have a meaningful Benoit discussion, talk about singlet tag teams, and a whole lot of other sidebars from a "meh" PPV. There are some great matches, like the opening US Title match, a heel John Cena taking on BikerTaker, and a triple threat match for the WWE Title. And here's a tip: don't be Jamie Noble.

In this episode, David and Jake show NO MERCY (get it?) to the the overarching angle in WWF, the Invasion Angle. Creative that has so much potential, that ended up being ridiculous because almost no WCW guys came over to WWF after the buyout by Vince. The card as a whole features some pretty solid matches, including Stone Cold v RVD v Kurt Angle for the WWF Title. Hope you enjoy the Paul Heyman commentary!

We get our first proper current era PPV with Hell In A Cell 2018, and boy is it... something? David puts the Falcon Arrow over, Angelo criticizes a good portion of the card for various reasons, and Jake takes on the Hell In A Cell in a grudge match. The WWE Women's division puts on 2 solid bouts, 4 of the best guys in the business square off for the Tag Titles, and OH MY GOD THAT'S BROCK LESNAR'S MUSIC!

Ask, and you shall receive. Angelo asked for 2002-2004 WWE, and the Randomizer presented Unforgiven 2003. Some lows, like Test v. Steiner and and 8 minute match featuring Jim Ross, but some high points like Shawn Michaels v. Randy Orton in the first "Legend vs. Legend Killer" match. Shane McMahon attempts to take his own life, and we have a GOLDBERG appearance.

The Marks go back to 1993, with another WCW PPV. This one is dedicated to legends, which features an hour of wrestling with guys over 49 years old. 2 Cold Scorpio steals the show, Rick Rude is the best Atomic Drop seller of all time, and we get to discuss an absolute David mark-fest when Davey Boy Smith challenges Big Van Vader for the World Heavyweight Title.
