Wonderpod Episode 299

Time for the second to last Wonderpod. A two man show recorded on a Friday night. On this of all days, it was a perfect end to the week. We wander all over the place this week. For the last show we will be live on Twitch. We will give you more details this weekend. […]

Wonderpod Episode 297

Wonderpod is like a train. Right on schedule and mowing down cows. This week was a different type of show. We had two first time guests and one guest appearing for the third time. If that isn’t confusing enough they are all from Wales. If your still confused, you need to listen to some of […]

Wonderpod Episode 296

Get ready for a new Wonderpod. This week we talk a lot about FPS gaming. Kind of digging these episodes.

iMPACT: 03/31/11 – Wayne Arnold.

Here we are folks, in the build up and hype of WrestleMania (and a Celebration of Professional Wrestling, for that matter), it’s easy to forget that other promotion, Total Nonstop Apathy. But it is still on, believe it or not!

You’ve got to wonder how TNA will attempt to compete tonight, or if they’ll just pump out another typical crash-and-burn episode and save something better for another week. They do have their own PPV coming up soon, and if they’re smart they will build towards it. But they’re not, and likely they won’t. Let’s get the madness, shall we?

An Open Letter to Smarks

March 31st, 2011

daddyof1

A smark is defined according to Wikipedia as “a phrase coined by Internet wrestling fans to describe a fan who enjoys pro wrestling despite or because they know that it is scripted, as well as generally knowing the “ins-and-outs” of the company and knowing many things about the industry or wrestlers collected by sources and are posted online. “Smarks” are generally looked down on by wrestlers as well as other wrestling fans for supposed inability to suspend their disbelief. Smarks may also be criticized for believing they know more than they do in reality about the workings of the wrestling industry.”

FPS of the Year – Before All The Good Shit

March 31st, 2011

gunsage

This one’s going to be a little different and here’s why. So once again, I thought I would start in 1990. I mean, that seems to be a pretty good year to start with and it worked with everything else, so why not? I’LL TELL YOU WHY NOT. Wolfenstein 3D wasn’t even released until 1992. BUT that’s not to say there weren’t FPSs before then. So let’s briefly go over…those that came before.

Oh Yeah (WWE All Stars)

March 31st, 2011

Bruce McGee

In honor of our week of wrestling goodness, I am going to be lazy. By putting a video up this morning instead of writing something. WWE All Stars came out on the 29th and I am thinking about buying it. The chance to have some of my favorite wrestlers from the old days in a video game sounds like a lot of fun. Here is the launch trailer for it. We have come a long way since No Mercy

Discount Bin Review: Wrestlemania 9 (DVD)

March 31st, 2011

Jonkind

Everyone knows of my passion for all things professional wrestling. I’ve watched the good, the bad, and I can put a positive spin on pretty much anything. Wrestlemania is of course, the biggest WWF/E show of the year; the grandest stage of them all, the showcase of the immortals, blah, blah, blah. Well back in April of 1993, the WWF was in the middle of a pretty low period in terms of popularity. Hulkamania was fading fast and there was a severe lack of popular, established talent to fill that void. Bret Hart had been inserted as the top face champion and while popular, I don’t think he was the muscle bound, high intensity, all-American super-hero that Vince thought they needed at the top. Personally I loved Bret Hart – the hardworking ring-technician, a victorious underdog in a roster full of puffed up giants and grunts. Proving everyone who thought you had to be a brick shithouse to be successful wrong. At least that’s what I thought.

Our Celebration of Professional Wrestling continues! Logo

With WrestleMania 27 right around the corner, it wouldn’t take a genius (or a Leaping Lanny Poffo, for that matter) to notice all the content floating around Wonderpod-Online and the Bored Wrestling Fan websites. Amongst all of it, we collectively brought together writers from both websites to discuss this Sunday’s PPV. ThinkSoJoE and DrowGoddess represent team Bored Wrestling Fan, and Jonkind and G represent the wPo wolfpac (Wonderpod-Online). We discuss the entire announced card, as well as some pertinent issues related to it. This, fellow smarks, should not be missed.

Top 5 Wrestlemania Moments

March 30th, 2011

kennedy

Ahhhhhhh Wrestlemania. The very name conjures up countless images which have both thrilled and entertained millions upon millions of people, never failing to lose its appeal in almost 30 years. It’s actually scary for yours truly to think that the very fist ‘Mania I can recall was way, way back in 1990 – when the “Immortal” Hulk Hogan was set to square off with the lunacy that was The Ultimate Warrior. Title for title, muscle-bound behemoth versus muscle-bound behemoth. It’s surely an iconic moment in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment and serves as a welcome reminder of just how much excitement Wrestlemania can cause.

Spring may finally be here, which is awesome. Then I remember all the work that needs to be done with the coming of spring. Less awesome, but necessary if your work in the business I do. What it means for you fine readers, is I may not be able to do this morning post as often. There are literally hundreds of people out there going, YES!!!! all in unison at that news.

Discount Bin Reviews: Wrestlemania 18 (Live Show/DVD)

March 30th, 2011

Jonkind

In the annals of Wrestlemania history, Wrestlemania 18 in particular holds a very dear place in my heart. The reason is simple: I WAS THERE. Among the 68,237 people that packed the Skydome I experienced Rock vs Hogan first hand, helpless against a wave of mass nostalgia. But I’ll get to that match later. We had floor seats, just left of the main hard camera view toward the back. Good seats but maybe not great seats. But that didn’t matter; I was in attendance at the Showcase of the Immortals, the Granddaddy of them all, Wrestlemania!
