Send us a text He's here, and he's brought lots of awful friends with him! It's only fitting that an event as big as this has led to our longest ever recording. If you were wondering, the descent into madness begins around the two-hour mark. The absolute boy of Season 1 was Big Vito, while Mike Knox got the accolade in Season 2. Have we already fou…

Send us a text It's time, brother! Much like the arrival of Hulk Hogan in TNA, the arrival of Season 3 is greatly hyped, we start talking about him before he's even appeared on TV, and things are better before he got there. Hopefully you're as excited as we were to witness the power of TWTWmania! (Episode recorded March 2025) Support the show Linkt…

Send us a text It's our last stop before Hogan hits TNA in Season 3, and it's the grossest episode we've ever done. We take a look at both the AIWF from our Louis Theroux episode, and one of CZW's annual deathmatch tournaments. JESUS!

Send us a text It's the penultimate bonus episode before Season 3, and we've decided to give ourselves a little treat by watching an all-time classic pay-per-view. Seriously, this was bloody great.

Send us a text 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 Januar…

Send us a text 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! You can find out more about Dave on his website https://daveelliottcomedy.com/ ! (Episod…
