Episode 630: Do It In The Microphone Stupid

Tuesday, March 28, 2023 • Duration 02:38:41

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.

We talk about AEW, The Dream Match between Kenny Omega and Vikingo, Stu Grayson, Sting, Adam Page, Blackpool Combat Club, Jeff Cobb and more.

Bad luck has struck Impact, so we touch on the unfortunate injury to Josh Alexander and Mickie James

Run down the Ring of Honor Supercard of Honor Card

Then we hit on the Wizards Rewind back to Supercard of Honor 9, we run down the card, what worked for us, what we didn't like, who was in KRD, Jimmy Jacobs and Lacey, and much more.

It's another great show and we hope you enjoy it.

Episode 629: P CUP

Tuesday, March 21, 2023 • Duration 02:34:18

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

Tuesday, March 14, 2023 • Duration 02:10:00

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.

Tony ponders if Vince McMahon could take a small company in this era and make it as successful as he did with the WWE.

Its another great show from your favorite wrestling podcast.

Episode 627: Eat Your Mud Water

Tuesday, March 7, 2023 • Duration 02:36:51

A huge week of wrestling and we are back to talk about some of it.

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

We wrap things up with some ROH talk and Tony hits us with a going home.

Tuesday, February 28, 2023 • Duration 02:42:30

This week the boys give you all the wrestling you want and more

After catching up with each other from last week the boys jump right into WHAT IF????

This week's What If if Bret Hart left WWF for WCW in 1992

We play out a variety of situations and fantasy book how things would have looked for both the WWF and WCW in 1992 if Bret Hart had left.

After a quick break we return to talk AEW, Battle Royals, MJF, tuning out during Picture in Picture and more. Plus a quick run down of the Revolution Card and Matt's annoyed about Aussie Open

It's Wrestlemania season so we are talking WWE. Is Bray Wyatt doing it for you? Rundown the purposed Wrestlemania Card, Kevin is 100% out based on one particular match, find out which one & more.

We also talk a little Impact, where MCMG are for us, who's the man to knock Josh Alexander off his throne and the Trey Miguel/Crazzy Steve match.

We put a bow on the show with Matt gushing over Mutoh's last match and the beauty of it all.

Its Wrestling Talk and Talk About Wrestling

Episode 625: Hacky Sack in the Park

Tuesday, February 21, 2023 • Duration 02:28:24

It's a full episode on the latest edition of the Shining Wizards Wrestling Podcast

We break out a new segment called Over the Top. We run down the results from all the shows from the past week, and Tony put's it OVER THE TOP with a fun fact.

Then we get down to it, as we are covering picks and talking Elimination Chamber. Matt disliked the Women's Chamber match and draws disgust from his fellow wizards. They talk Lashley/Brock, the mixed tag match, Tony thinks Finn doesn't fit in Judgement Day, Elimination Chamber match and of course the main event, Sami Zayn vs Roman Reigns. We also share our followers favorite Elimination Chambers.

We turn our attention to NJPW Battle in the Valley. Tony makes fun of Jay White, Matt loses his mind about the Pirate, and Handsome Kevin hates Mercedes entrance music. We talk about the show a little, and the big women's match before Kevin has some technical issues that lead to some hysterics later in the show

After a quick commercial break for the Shining Wizards Network and the Patreon Read, its on to the Wizards Rewind.

Back to No Way Out 2005. We go top to bottom with the card, the landscape at the time, and have lots of laughs and good times getting in the time machine to go back to 2005.

We end with the bad news about Jerry Jarrett & Richard Belzer , and end on a high note with the Richard Holliday news.
