Episode 630: Do It In The Microphone Stupid 28 Mar 202302:38:41

It is Wrestlemania week and we are chalk full of wrestling previews of the biggest week in wrestling.

We catch up quickly and our wonderful listeners remind us of the Needle in the pecker spot from the XPW show this past weekend, so we talk about that for a bit. Kevin is furious & Tony is speechless, which doesn't happen often.

We got Over the Top and cover all the major shows from the past week of TV, WWE, AEW, Impact, NWA, ROH and MLW.

Matt isn't the biggest fan of Wrestlemania week, so we dive into that, hot dogs and more.

We preview the Wrestlemania 39 card, and it seems like the gang is pretty excited, even if Omos vs Brock is on the show.

A quick break to plug Patreon's and the Wizards Network

Upon returning, Matt realizes that NXT Stand & Deliver is also this weekend, so we talk about the card, & Tony tries to guess if the name is one of an NXT Wrestler or a made up name by Kevin.

Episode 629: P CUP 21 Mar 202302:34:18

The Wizards are back with another episode covering the world of professional wrestling.

After a short open, Matt poses the question, if Ricky Steamboat had a Tag Team Partner, would you rather it be Tito Santana or KoKo B Ware circa 1991. This leads us to the 1990 IC Title Tournament, we know Mr Perfect won beating Tito Santana, but who were the other 6 men in the tournament?

We hit Over the Top and cover all the results from the week, before taking about our favorite cold snacks to eat. Matt loves an egg roll cold and there is outrage, so we bring in our guest Darin Corbin to have him add his two cents to the conversation. We talk about a variety of food related topics, Matt shares a few embarrassing stories, we do talk some wrestling, and its a great introduction to Darin if you aren't familiar with him.

After a quick commercial break, we are back talking about the Road to Wrestlemania. The Bloodline vs Sami Zayn story continues to deliver, KJG thinks it's not over at Mania, HK questions if they should have put the title on Sami at Elimination Chamber and Tony is excited for Charlotte vs Rhea. What Tony isn't excited for is the possibility of Dominik crashing Rey's Hall of Fame ceremony. This leads us to talk about the current announcements for the 2023 Hall of Fame and who else we think we go in.

We hit on the Kenny Omega/Vikingo debate. Is a dream match a bad thing? The boys weigh in, talk a little about AEW Dynamite, talk turns to the NWA as Matt watched Powerrr and Tony watched USA. Matt asks if Nick Aldis leaving the NWA is on the same level as Hulk Hogan leaving the AWA. This is right in HK & Tony's wheel house.

Matt is hot about MLW and Kevin hits us with a hell of a TOP 5

Episode 628: Like a Xylophone 14 Mar 202302:10:00

On the latest episode the boys get back it with lots of wrestling talk and talk about wrestling. 

The boys go OVER THE TOP and hit on all the results from the past week. Matt is in charge of the facts, as Tony is running behind. Who's facts do you enjoy more? Matt or Tony? 

Matt is confused with the Booby Hitting clip from NXT & looks for clarity from the guys. From the bad, we go to the good, the Bloodline story continues to rule, but Matt is also confused by the Charlotte Flair clip of her from Smackdown where it looks like she is wrestling in slow motion. This leads Kevin to question, why are these big returns, not hitting the mark for most fans. 

We are then joined by the Animal Bob Anger. The Asgardian Space Animal talks a ton with us about wrestling, comic books, Sexxxy Beasts and more. Magenta joins the interview and it's over the top, you have to listen to believe it. It's also a great introduction to the Animal Bob Anger. 

After a quick break the boys are talking AEW, the leveling up of the title and the Will Hobbs title change. Is Rampage on the same live as WCW Thunder?

We hit on some ROH, and the Reach for the Sky Ladder Match before we hit a technical difficulty and Matt completely shuts down.

After catching up and hitting Over the Top the boys jump into AEW Revolution. 

Matt has some issues with a few things from the PPV. No time clock, legal tags in a NO DQ match and a lack of explanation on the DQ during the Iron Man Match. Besides that him and Kevin enjoyed the show. Tony hated the Texas Death Match, and we have some fun arguing about that, like why would you wrap yourself in barbed wire and jump on another man? A Brick? Ohh also, is it ok to throw a drink on a child? The room is split 50/50

We are then joined by the beautiful and talented Gabby Ortiz. Gabby is a main character in the brand new AppleTV + Monster Factory show debuting on March 17th. We talk about the camera's outside the ring, being vulnerable, how she fell back in love with wrestling, lumberjacks, mountains, and so much more. It's a fantastic conversation with a future superstar, get to know her before the show drops on the 17th. 

After Gabby we put a bow on Revolution, and prepare for Can You Beat That. This is a must listen to battle, do we crown a new Can You Beat That Champion? You have to listen

No Guest

No Rules 

The boys are back and its absolute chaos. Matt is fired up from missing last week's show. Kevin can't get over Tony having a Tootsie Roll in his Top 5 last week and Tony is ready to talk AEW. 

We do some catching up, before talking a little Tales from the Territories. Florida, Stampede, picking up women, Bret Hart, No Class Bobby Bass and much more. 

We talk picks, Crown Jewel, Logan Paul, Buckshot Lariat and quickly run down the Crown Jewel event. We then speculate on who is going to be in the Survivor Series War Games match, while also somehow talking relationship advice. We talk a little bit about the Sasha Banks Instagram post and of course, to get Tony fired up, we present him with the Smackdown World Cup. 

To keep Tony annoyed we jump into AEW, where things get a little heated. After talking about the World Title Eliminator Tournament, the Full Gear Card, and Jeff Jarrett, we stumble into a talk about Tony Khan and if trying to run AEW & ROH was too much for him to handle. It's a heated discussion, which leads us to another conversation about who's opinion carries more weight, you have to listen to this one and let us know where you land. 

After a quick break, we come back to talk a little about NJPW, Battle Autumn, & World Tag League. We cover the return of MLW, Battle Riot 4 then jump into the NWA news that dropped this afternoon. Nick Aldis gave notice, then was suspended. What does this mean for the NWA? Can Billy and company right the ship? We want them to turn it around and Hard Times 3 is gonna be an interesting point for them. 

We then dive into this week's Wizard Rewind. Its back to the 1987 Slammy Awards Show (Link is below) 

Its quite the adventure back in time, and it is a must watch show. Its cheesy 80's WWF at its finest. And we discover who the 1st ever 2 Time Slammy Award Winner ever was.

Episode 609 - Tac Pocket01 Nov 202202:23:05

The Two Man Army celebrates Halloween with stories of candies and trick or treating. Tony opens with a rant on how bad technology treated him the past couple of days, but then turns around with an on-the-spot Top 5 favorite candies. Kevin isn't thrilled with some of the entries on the list, but agrees that it's hard to say no to any candy.

After Tony discusses what he was disappointed in and what he enjoyed in wrestling for the week, Kevin happily changes the tide of the show and jumps right in with numerous Top 5s. His thoughts lead to discussions of the 24/7 title, strange characters, and participation entrances. The boys also discuss Shinsuke Nakamura and his upcoming match with the Great Muta, as well as this weekend's Crown Jewel.

By the time the show starts wrapping, Matt does a run in. He almost missed it with a case of the bubble guts, but managed to help close the show with plugs and tales of Crowbar wrestling for New Japan.

Episode 608: Alex Kane Bomaye 25 Oct 202202:56:12

In this week's episode the boys start the show with an interesting conversation. Matt just watched the Jeff Hardy ROH Debut from 2003, and that sends the boys down a rabbit hole of Jeff Hardy, and Matt Hardy. It's an unscheduled down the aisle to kick off the show. 

They transition over to the Karl Anderson WWE/NJPW situation. We ponder on if it's a work or not, go over some of the Crown Jewel card, talk a little about the Triple H era so far before jumping over to picks & NXT Halloween Havoc. Somewhere along the way, Tony has to deal with his dryer, and this leads to a very strange conversation about how the Wizards do the laundry. This ate up a lot of time, that we can't get back. 

We are then joined by Former MLW National Openweight Champion and Leader of the Bomaye Fight Club Alex Kane. The Suplex Assassin talks with us about a variety of subjects, from Crybaby Calvin, to working with Davey Richards, sharting, the PWI 500, BW 500 and MORE. If you aren't familiar with Alex Kane, this is the interview to check out. 

After a quick break, we are joined by the Can You Beat That Champion Christian Rocco as he watches Matt and Kevin battle it out for the #1 contender ship and a chance to challenge the Champion on November 21st. 

Before pulling the train into the station we hit on a few things from the NWA, AEW, Impact and ROH.

Episode 607: Super Thunderfrog BAY BAY 18 Oct 202203:01:09

The Wizards are back with another jam packed episode 

We quickly catch up and decide if we are picking NXT's Halloween Havoc. Tony needs to hear the card, and Matt of course butchers some of the names. This transitions into the breaking news from last week, the return of the Good Brothers to RAW, and what that means for NJPW. We ponder the possibilities, and this brings us to the NJPW TV Title. We go over the field, the design of the belt, and the rules. 

We cover the recent happenings in AEW, a few big returns and debuts on Rampage, plus Orange Cassidy winning the All Atlantic Title. Guess who didn't like it? This leads us to a conversation about the NWA and Question Mark 2. We cover some NWA, and how the Hard Times PPV continues to shape up. Is Homicide due to drop the title to Kerry Morton? What story is Tony over? 

We are then joined by Super Thunderfrog. He comes in 100 miles per hour, and is honestly an amazing interview. We talk about wrestling in the mall of America, teaming with Big O Possum, challenging for World Titles, pooping your pants, wrestling figures, Halloween & MORE. This is a really fun interview and worth checking out. 

Back from a quick break, we dive into Triplemania 30. After last week's interview with Sam Adonis, Kevin was sold on the show, find out what he thought about it and what he took away from the show .

We talk some Tales from the Territories, the Andy Kaufman/Jerry Lawler story, All these years later, we are still learning new things about this amazing story, and we ponder, does this work if Vince McMahon Sr decides to run the angle instead of Memphis and Lawler. 

We then do our Wizards Rewind, back to the Coliseum Home Video Piledriver Music Video VHS.
It's an amazing trip down memory lane and a lot of fun.

We catch up with each other about the weekend, Kevin ran into someone he knew at a wrestling show, but didn't realize it, Tony rubs in the Mets loss to Matt & Kevin has something going on with his hair. Plus we talk about Columbus Day and Pizza

We talk about what we liked about it, and the prospect of some of the upcoming shows, Portland, Mid South and Texas. Vice is also dropping a Vince McMahon 2 Hour Special in a week, so we spitball about that before heading into NWA Territory. Tony really enjoyed NWA USA over NWA Power, so we talk about each shows from the past week, EC3, and we run down the current NWA Hard Times 3 PPV in November 

We then head into AEW Land, and talk about the backstage fight between Andre(Andrade) and Sammy. The verdict is that Tony Khan is to blame for this & Tony goes off on the situation and AEW. We talk Wardlow, Jericho, FTR and more. 

We take some time to cover our Impact Bound For Glory Picks, and the PPV itself. What was the match of the night? Kevin has a good idea why Bully Ray won the rumble, but Matt hates it, and Tony seems indifferent. 

We talk about our Extreme Rules picks, but briefly touch on the return of Bray Wyatt or the show itself as we are joined by our guest. 

El Rude himself, Sam Adonis joins us ahead of AAA Triplemania XXX 

We talk about why he signed the MLW Contract, and what that means for his time in AAA, the importance of Triplemania, what match he is looking forward to most on the show, Bruno, collecting action figures and more. If you aren't familiar with Sam, this is a great introduction to him. 

After a short break, we are joined by Patreon supporter Brendan to take a trip Down the Aisle. Brendan takes us back to the May 2011 Rahway Rec Center for a joint Jersey All Pro/New Japan Pro Wrestling Show. It's the first round on the Intercontinental Championship Tournament and our minds are blown away with the lineup and the fact that this took place so close to home & we missed it (Well Brendan didn't, he was at the show) 

It's a fantastic show and a great time
