Wrestling House Show

On this, the 50th anniversary of Wrestling House Show, Joey and chris finally bring to you the show they've been talking about since episode number one, the missed opportunities special edition! They talk about some of the greatest things in the history of professional wrestling that could have happened... but didn't. They talk about two Ric Flair match ups that never came to pass as they should have, two of the biggest wastes of talent in the WWE, amazing international gang warfare that could have set the wrestling world on fire, a great manager who could never manage anyone to greatness, and a match that should have happened that would have solidified the bond between professional wrestling and Hollywood. Intro song: "Now is the Time" by Dope from the album "Group Therapy" Outro song: "Man on the Moon" by Shout Out Louds from the album "Stereogum Presents Drive XV" Both songs are available on iTunes Show them that podcasting sells records!

After watching more professional wrestling in one week than can be expected of most men, Joey and chris provide an epic episode 50 covering hour upon hour of televised sports entertainment. They discuss the 2009 WWE draft going in depth about the ramifications of each pick including what should and shouldn't occur as a result of the changes, how some picks won't really change anything, and why the draft desperately needs to be adhered to. They explain (again) why Matt Striker is the best announcer on TV today, give an example of what goes on in Vince McMahon's head, try to clarify why Todd Grisham compared Tommy Dreamer to the Brooklyn Brawler, wonder what's next for the Hardy brothers, ponder why tag teams can never seem to part ways civilly, and analyze what Taz has said about what his post-WWE plans are. They continue with chris trying to explain to Joey why TNA hasn't been completely terrible and reveal what may very well be terrible for the future of women's wrestling... Wrestlicious! All this plus s

Back in the studio after their Wrestlemania 25 road trip, Joey and chris share their experiences from the big weekend in Houston! They describe every event they attended including two Ring of Honor tapings where they were both shocked and amazed, Booker T's Legends of Wrestling FanFest where they once again ran into the lovely Daffney but missed a former WWE wrestler they would've really liked to have seen, the WWE Hall of Fame where some curious editing left the television version of the show a bit lacking, and of course Wrestlemania 25. Hear what they thought of the show including how it started on sour note and was pretty much hit and miss from there. They talk about all of the highs and lows of the weekend, who really stole the show in Houston, some of the fallout in the week after Wrestlemania and what we can expect from here on out. Intro song: "Now is the Time" by Dope from the album "Group Therapy" Outro song: "Basic Thugonomics" by John Cena from the album "WWE Originals" Both songs are availabl

Mere days before the 24th anniversary of Wrestlemania Joey and chris try to get themselves (and you the listener) psyched up for the big event by providing a preview of Wrestlemania 25. They run down all of the matches announced by picking winners, analyzing story developments and even try to predict what could (or should) happen at the show. They also get excited about the entire weekend's events including back to back Ring of Honor shows in Houston that look amazing, Booker T's Charity Fan Fest and who the WWE denied from attending, and whether or not WWE Fan Axcess is worth going to. All this plus more pole talk, booking Sid's return, and Joey offers to give YOU his cell phone number. Really! Intro song: "Now is the Time" by Dope from the album "Group Therapy" Outro song: "The Streak" by Ray Stevens from the album "Boogity Boogity" Also included: "Sabre Dance" composed by Aram Khachaturian All songs are available on iTunes Show them that podcasting sells records!

In this edition of the Wrestling House Show the Parts Unknown Crew attempts to find the positive among the negative... even if it has to be fabricated. They discuss many topics including their fear of Kozlov being released, the good and bad of Triple H booking his own matches and stipulations on the fly, how the WWE is leaving wrestlers at home and how that will affect them and the shows, the pointlessness of pretty much all titles going in to Wrestlemania, and how certain young wrestlers don't seem to be wrestling to the best of their ability. They go on to name a certain legend of the business that should actually be backing Jericho in his crusade, discuss how the graphic for the Diva Battle Royale spoiled what should have been a surprise, Joey puts on his booking hat to throw out an idea of how to get rid of Smackdown if the show gets cancelled, Michael wonders about Samoa Joe's Nation of Violence, chris is disappointed by Matt Morgan yet again, and they all react to Mick Foley back in action... again.

After months of attempting to sow the seeds of brilliance in the wrestling world, The Parts Unknown Crew is saddened to discover that there is much more work to be done before their labors will bear fruit. Listen as they discuss home invasion as entertainment on Raw, possible (ancient) entrants in the twenty five Diva Battle Royal at Wrestlemania, how Wrestlemania 25 is NOT the 25th anniversary, and wonder if Koko B. Ware should really be in the WWE Hall of Fame. Listen as they wonder who will face Jack Swagger at 'Mania, question why Vince McMahon would stop his employees from appearing at charitable events, are baffled that Eric Young was nearly beaten by a security guard, and explain why they all actually agreed with Don West this past week. All this plus WWE's selective memory, Jeff Hardy's dead dog, Joey with idea after idea, how Kofi Kingston divided Michael and chris and much, much more! Intro song: "Now is the Time" by Dope from the album "Group Therapy" Outro song: "Harvester of Sorrow" by Apoca

In this giant installment of the Wrestling House Show the crew discusses a less than riveting week of wrestling bringing to light analysis, ideas and thoughts that those of a lesser intellect can't seem to illuminate. They discuss the step backward Jericho took in his promos, who he should REALLY be facing at Wrestlemania and the weeks leading up to it, the whereabouts of Sim Snuka while his father was getting assaulted, Rany Orton being easily influenced (and wearing pants), who should have the WWE Title going into Wrestlemania and what they think of the participants currently announced for Money In The Bank. They also discuss how WWE seems to retrain their wrestlers and why that's not a good thing, chris's reaction to Kelly Kelly and Maryse together in the same segment, ideas to make WWE Fan Axcess more entertaining, and Kane ending The Boogeyman. They move on to TNA and talk about Jay Lethal channeling The Nature Boy, Matt Morgan versus a baby, Hernandez (and his mustache) still carrying the briefcase h

In this penetrating installment of the Wrestling House Show, The Parts Unknown Crew uses their cutting wit and finely honed mental acumen to bring the past week of wrestling into sharp focus. They take a stab at the walking merch booth that is John Cena, the first of the Money in the Bank qualifiers, wanting Santino Marella to get serious, The Undertaker's boring story line, Ricky Steamboat's fantastic return to television, a clue as to who Jericho may face at Wrestlemania (sort of), Matt Stryker's Obscure Reference of the Week, and the best match of the year so far! They also pierce the topics of three men versus two hammers, the Hardy feud being put on the back burner, the pointless heel turn of Madison Rayne, Mick Foley reminiscing about the WWE, how TNA's heel factions are too powerful for their own good, Rhaka Khan and the worst move ever in professional wrestling, the releases of Lance Hoyt and Sonjay Dutt, and of course Samoa Joe with a knife. All this and more! Intro song: "Now is the Time" by Dop

This week the crew recaps No Way Out and discusses what, if any, ramifications will be felt throughout the WWE. They talk about Edge being the new World Heavyweight Champion of the World, Kofi Kingston missing out on the Elimination Chamber and wondering where he puts his money, the "emancipation" of Shawn Michaels and how it seems rather pointless, chris convincing Michael that John Cena cut a good promo this past week, who Chris Jericho should be facing at Wrestlemania (and who he shouldn't), and who will and who should be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. They also discuss the releases of Petey Williams and Scotty Goldman, wonder how Matt Hardy can possibly betray Jeff again, point out that Roxxi is a bad influence on Taylor Wilde, and explain how the TNA Frontline doesn't even exist anymore and never had any real effect anyway. All this plus much, much more! Intro song: "Now is the Time" by Dope from the album "Group Therapy" Outro song: "No Way Out" by D Generation from the album "No Lunc

The Parts Unknown Crew has a lot to be happy about this week after watching the best episode of ECW in recent memory! They get excited about Christian's return to WWE, the debut of Tyson Kidd and the rest of the amazing talent being assembled on ECW including the returning Evan Bourne! They also discuss a myriad of other topics from the week including the possibility of Flair coming out of retirement for his angle with Jericho and Mickey Rourke, why Bob Backlund finally getting a DVD isn't as exciting as it should be, the message The Bella Twins are sending to little girls, Triple H's dumb new shirt and what they'd rather buy instead, Mick Foley's Hardcore History 101, Sojourner Bolt being the number one contender to Kong, Kevin Nash's love of mafia movies, Scott Steiner's amazing comments on Impact and lots, lots more! Intro song: "Now is the Time" by Dope from the album "Group Therapy" Outro song: "Half Breed" by Cher from the album "Half Breed" Both songs are available on iTunes Show them that podc

With two weeks of television and the Royal Rumble to catch up on, the Parts Unknown Crew crams three episodes worth of content into one jam packed show where a meandering stream of consciousness creates a beautiful mess. The crew discusses how they called Matt Hardy's heel turn months ago (sort of), why Melina should not have beaten Beth, the highs and lows of the Royal Rumble, what WWE should be doing with HBK/JBL, winning friends by beating them senseless, Mike's idea for the greatest yet most pointless faction ever, how My Network TV spoiled the main event for Smackdown, The Great Muta on TNA, Shane McMahon and Randy Orton, the differences between Japanese and American pro wrestling philosophies, the Main Event Mafia taking over Impact and why Joey and chris don't see eye to eye, and shine a spotlight on Brutus Magnus. They also answer some reader mail where chris mentions where to get a hold of some great Japanese and Mexican DVDs, talk about the upcoming Legends of Wrestlemania game and much, much more

Mere hours before one of the biggest pay per views of the year, the Parts Unknown Crew gets ready for the Royal Rumble by discussing who they would like to see as surprise entrants this year, who they think should win the Rumble and who probably will win it. They also remark on the past week of wrestling television by talking about a TNA Impact filled with gimmick matches that don't really mean anything, what Kurt Angle said that marks the beginning of the end for the Main Event Mafia, and ponder whether Sting will get a Flair-like sendoff when he retires. They also declare Big Show as the cure for insomnia, explain why Melina isn't ready to regain the Women's Title, wonder why tag team title matches don't mean much at Wrestlemania anymore, weigh in on Jericho's apology and Orton's kick, hope Sim Snuka and Manu aren't forgotten, wonder about Boogeyman's personal hygiene and are baffled at how Shelton Benjamin apparently forgot all of his training when fighting The Undertaker. All this plus radio drama with Ma

With their hate expunged in the last episode, the Parts Unknown Crew returns to format and brings you another phenomenal episode of the Wrestling House Show filled with opinion, analysis, and comedy and manage to do it all completely complaint free! Well... not really complaint free, but this time they manage to turn the hate into funny! They milk all of the entertainment they possibly can from topics such as Kevin Nash's replacement at Genesis, why LAX still can't get any respect, Team 3D splitting up, how TNA can kill street cred in one segment, muck, WWE taking shots at TNA, more WWE releases, Victoria's retirement, Tommy Dreamer's impending retirement, where Hacksaw and Scotty Goldman are, Jack Swagger winning the ECW Title, who should be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, who they think should really be behind Jeff Hardy's "accidents" (not Christian), and Joey rants about possibly the worst action figure ever made. Intro song: "Now is the Time" by Dope from the album "Group Therapy" Outro song: "Rea

This week the crew from Parts Unknown are forced to break format and discuss some of the appalling story lines in WWE and TNA that won't go away and simply can't be ignored. From blurring the line between fiction and reality with Jeff Hardy to Kurt Angle using the death of Jeff Jarrett's wife to further their feud, the crew vents about these and other frustrations including the latest releases and aborted programs in the WWE, the lack of "creative" in the writing departments of pro wrestling, why wrestlers should consider joining SAG and much more. Intro songs: "Now is the Time" by Dope from the album "Group Therapy" "Don't Cry Wolf" by The Damned from the album "Music For Pleasure" Outro song: "Cool To Hate" by The Offspring from the album "Ixnay on the Hombre" All songs are available on iTunes Show them that podcasting sells records!

Michael rejoins the crew as they reshape an uninteresting week of wrestling into an immensely entertaining hour (or so) of audio. They discuss how WWE should open its vault to the public, wonder what's taking Gail Kim so long, plan out what should be next for Randy Orton's "Legacy", rename the Ezekiel Jackson's finisher, approve of Paul and Katie Lea Burchill on ECW, point out that Hurricane Helms's return is over and are underwhelmed by Kizarny. They then respond to some listener email about European wrestling and weigh in on the Powerslam Magazine Top 50 Wrestlers of 2008.
