Welcome to Episode 25 of our wrestling podcast Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops!! We are Chris Dread and Jordan (JB) In Episode 25 we review an exclusive UK only PPV from the WWF in 1998. Live From the London Arena, WWF Capital Carnage. This PPV had everything you could expect from a late 90s, WWF Attitude Era PPV and so so much more. The rowdy UK fans really made the atmosphere in this PPV one of the best you'll ever see. You had every big name superstar on the roster in action here and the crowd loved every minute of it, as did we and so will you! We had Special guest star Vinnie Jones, The Heel Mr McMahon and his stooges getting involved, title matches galore, a crazy fatal 4 way main event, and some nudity to top it off!

Welcome to Episode 24 of our wrestling podcast Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops!! We are Chris Dread and Jordan (JB) In Episode 24 we review the 10th Anniversary of the WCW Starrcade PPV from 1993. Starrcade was the WCW version of Wrestlemania. The First one was in 1983, and 10 years later at the 11th show, here we are. We will be honest, for a 10th anniversary show, it was a bit strange, but there was a HUGE amount going on within WCW at the time behind the scenes, so they get a pass. Changes in management, British bulldog disappearing, and the main event changing last minute due to an incident between 2 wrestlers that took place in good old England! Regardless of the issues it still had some great moments. Missy Hyatt being an amazing heel manager, another great heel performance by a favourite of ours Lord Steven Regal, an eventful and at times brutal main event, and the incredible Ravishing Rick Rude as a World Champion that history forgot!

Welcome to Episode 23 of our wrestling podcast Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops!! We are Chris Dread and Jordan (JB) In Episode 23 we review the 2nd Annual WWF King of The Ring Tournament from 1994. This King of The Ring has some pretty good matches from start to finish. They all could have been a bit longer, but they were all pretty good. The Tournament was jam packed with the biggest stars of the time. Bam Bam Bigalow, Razor Ramon, IRS, Mabel, Jeff Jarrett, The 123 Kid, Tatanka and The Rocket Owen Hart. Alongside the Tournament there was also a decent title match for the WWF Championship with Champion vs Champion. WWF Champ Bret Hart Vs Intercontinental Champ Diesel. Diesel had The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels in his corner and Bret was yet to announce his mystery back up partner. The Main event is a strange one. 2 old school legends Jerry The King Lawler Vs Rowdy Roddy Piper. Lawler goaded Piper back into the ring after a 2 year absence. A bit of a miss placed main event, but the event as a whole was really great and well worth a re-watch, Its probably our favourite King EVER and the Coronation Ceremony is incredible!

Welcome to Episode 22 of our wrestling podcast Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops!! We are Chris Dread and Jordan (JB) In Episode 22, as this is our Halloween special, we review WCW Halloween Havoc 1998. This event has quite a stacked card at first glance and has at least 3 matches that SHOULD have been, on paper, incredible matches. These matches are Brother Vs Brother with Steiner Vs Steiner, self described MORE than brother vs brother with The Outsiders, Hall and Nash, facing off, and finally the rematch of the century with Hollywood Hulk Hogan Vs The Warrior. Lets just say that they don't really match expectations. There are a few filler matches but also, some really good matches. A great match between Bret Hart and Sting, an opener between Raven and Chris Jericho and a great main event between Diamond Dallas Page and Goldberg. Add into the mix a double dose of Disco Inferno, The Nitro Girls and a massive inflatable gargoyle and pumpkin, and you have a rollercoaster of a PPV that is well worth a watch.  We hope you enjoy this episode and please, remember to hit those Like & Subscribe buttons!!!!

Welcome to Episode 21 of our wrestling podcast Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops!! We are Chris Dread and Jordan (JB) In Episode 21 we review our first ever TNA wrestling PPV. As many countries go into total lockdown, we have chosen the TNA annual event Lockdown from 2009. The Lockdown PPV features a card where every match takes place inside the TNA steel cage called The Six Sides of Steel. TNA at this time had a healthy mix of young up and coming and homegrown talent, as well as some very well established veterans. They had the Main Event Mafia stable which was comprised of Legends and Veterans such as Kurt Angle, Scott Steiner, Booker T, Kevin Nash, and the current TNA Heavyweight Champion and Icon Sting! On the opposing side of TNA there was the TNA Originals stable made up of the young guys who had basically started TNA and made it what it was today, Headed by TNA Founder Jeff Jarrett they had AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, and Samoa Joe. The Lethal Lockdown match with weapons would see the 2 stables go head to head and they had us thinking is Jeff Jarrett the veteran going to turn his back on the originals and join the mafia? The Main event would see champion Sting face off against the hardcore legend that is Mick Foley, and on the way to that match we have a TNA knockout 4 way, a Dr Stevie Richards cameo, a great tag championship match and an opening X division match with a load of characters that are basically rip offs! what more could you want?

Welcome to Episode 20 of our wrestling podcast Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops!! We are Chris Dread and Jordan (JB) In Episode 20 we review The first ever Wrestlemania to feature the legend Ric Flair. WWF Wrestlemania 8 from 1992. Ric Flair at this point was absolutely on fire. He was white hot in the WWF and it came at a point when the man who WAS the face of the company, Hulk Hogan, was looking to leave the wrestling business for a while to work on movies and other things. This Wrestlemania had lots of amazing promos, some very good matches and also the commentary team of Bobby Heenan and Gorilla were on top form all night. This Wrestlemania had it all. It had an amazing and bloody Intercontinental Match between Piper and Bret Hart, A high energy title match between Flair and Randy savage, the birth of the Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels, and a classic promo from the LOD.

Welcome to Episode 19 of our wrestling podcast Chat Grapple and Cheap Pops!! We are Chris Dread and Jordan (JB) In Episode 19 we review possibly one of the worst produced events WCW has ever put on. WCW NWO Souled Out from 1997. This event is pretty much a car crash from start to finish. But, because of that, it makes it almost compelling viewing. The whole event was supposed to be a showcase of how much in control of WCW the NWO were. They were the commentators, cheating referee, and abusive announcer. They also held every belt that was available and they were on the line tonight. They also were attempting to crown Miss NWO. They held a live beauty contest between matches like a Miss World but, well, lets just say they didn't quite come up to great standards with the contestants or the production. Although this show is widely spoken about as possibly one of the worst events WCW ever produced, we enjoyed reviewing it and we strongly suggest that people watch the event themselves as it is so bad it was actually quite good.
