It's been an entire decade since this fateful event! This was the night CM Punk's contract ran out at midnight and he walked out with the WWE Title. At least...in storyline. In 2011, CM Punk was the leader of the New Nexus after former members Wade Barrett, Justin Gabriel, and Heath Slater went from Raw to SmackDown to form The Corre with Ezekiel Jackson. After dropping the infamous Pipebomb Promo on an episode of Raw, Punk announced that his contract would be coming to an end on the same night he got a "title opportunity" against WWE Champion, John Cena. That night just so happened to be at Money in the Bank in Punk's hometown of Chicago. The match was great and the atmosphere was electric! Also taking place this night was two Money in the Bank Ladder matches--one for Raw and one for SmackDown. Relive the magic of this event with the Marks, Troy & Greg!SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.airtime.proFOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: maineventmarkspod@gmail.comSEARCH FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mainevent-marks/support Learn more about your ad choices.

1995 gets a lot of guff from wrestling fans, us include, and for good reason. The entire year throughout ECW, WCW, and WWF was completely horrible. "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel, however, gets a lot of the blame from the wrestling community for awful crowds, awful numbers, and awful shows while he reigned as WWF Champion throughout the year. Because of this, the Marks (Troy & Greg) take a look at all of Diesel's matches, storylines, appearances, and more throughout 1995 to see if they can justify shifting some of that blame off of Big D's shoulders.SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.airtime.proFOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: maineventmarkspod@gmail.comSEARCH FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mainevent-marks/support Learn more about your ad choices.

It's been 10 years since this pay-per-view took place! 2001 was a weird, weird year in the wrestling world. Both ECW and WCW finally shut their doors and their properties were bought up by Vince McMahon and the WWF. In storyline, WCW was owned by Shane McMahon and ECW was owned by Stephanie McMahon with Paul Heyman by her side. This began the infamous Invasion Storyline, where ECW and WCW teamed up to take on the WWF. No one could trust anybody as alliances would shift from the World Wrestling Federation to The Alliance, and this show is no different. The Marks (Troy & Greg) run down the highest-grossing pay-per-view in WWF history (outside of WrestleManias) from a decade ago!SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.airtime.proFOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: maineventmarkspod@gmail.comSEARCH FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mainevent-marks/support Learn more about your ad choices.

By the summer of 2011, Immortal had taken over TNA and Fortune had went full-on babyface. Abyss was the attack dog for Immortal to take down the X-Division, and he won the title, recristening it The X-Treme Title. Now, it's up to Brian Kendrick to redeem the X-Division at their own pay-per-view! Also, AJ Styles had been teasing a big match, which everyone thought would be a rematch from Unbreakable 2005. However, he left out Samoa Joe and instead challenged Christopher Daniels to a match in the main event of the yearly X-Division showcase. We also get to see an Ultimate X match and RVD vs Jerry Lynn for the first time since ECW closed! The Marks (Troy & Greg) also discuss the passing of "Macho Man" Randy Savage, the recent passing of The Patriot, CM Punk possibly leaving the WWE and making homophobic comments, and Scott Hall being arrested for being drunk...again.SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.airtime.proFOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: maineventmarkspod@gmail.comSEARCH FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mainevent-marks/support Learn more about your ad choices.

If you don't know this show, you're either not a wrestling fan or you just started watching. Bash at the Beach 1996 had a pretty good undercard, including Rey Mysterio Jr. vs Psychosis and Dean Malenko vs Disco Inferno, but the entire night was building up to the main event. Scott Hall and Kevin Nash recently made the jump from the WWF to WCW, shocking the wrestling world, and then they teased a third man to join their crew. Sting, Lex Luger, and Randy Savage led the charge against The Outsiders in the 6-man main event, but the question remained...who is that third man!? Troy & Greg talk about history in the making on this show, along with all the news and notes from the wrestling world leading up to the show!SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.com/FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: maineventmarkspod@gmail.comSEARCH FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mainevent-marks/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Aces & Eights were running the show in TNA in 2013. Bully Ray had revealed himself as the mastermind of the entire operation, multiple members of the TNA roster defected, and no one knew if they could trust the newly returned, dark, brooding AJ Styles. The only person willing to stand tall for truth, justice, and TNA against Bully Ray and the Aces & Eights was Sting. Meanwhile, Kurt Angle sets out to stop any momentum AJ Styles may have dead in its tracks. On top of that, Joseph Park claims he hasn't seen his brother, Abyss, yet whenever he bleeds, he psyches out an a rage similar to that of Abyss. Could that spell DOOMSDAY for D-Von's TV Title reign? In the Knockouts Division, Taryn Terrell has shed her referee stripes to compete against Gail Kim in a Last Knockouts Standing match. Plus, the TNA Tag Titles are on the line in a 4-way elimination tag match, the X-Division Title is defended in Ultimate X, and much more!SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.com/FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: maineventmarkspod@gmail.comSEARCH FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mainevent-marks/support Learn more about your ad choices.

For this bonus show, we bring you one of the worst pay-per-views in history. Vince Russo and Eric Bischoff were both steering the ship in World Championship Wrestling, but Russo was hard at work, steering it into the nearest iceberg he could find. Hollywood Hogan was locked into a feud with Billy Kidman, Booker T was G.I. Bro, the Misfits In Action were running wild, Disqo was embarrassing himself with the Filthy Animals, Jeff Jarrett was on his "reign of terror," DDP was being turned on every single month by everyone in his life, the New Blood was running roughshod over everyone and everything, and there's a "surprise" turn/swerve to close the show that may have been one of the dumbest things in the history of WCW. This is only a taste of the insanity of this show! Bonus to this show: Someone gets set on fire and are GONE FOREVAH, BRO! No, but seriously. Someone gets set on fire.SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.com/FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: maineventmarkspod@gmail.comSEARCH FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mainevent-marks/support Learn more about your ad choices.

We're continuing on with our walk through the year 1996 in WWE. This event was the birth of Austin 3:16 and "That's the bottom line, 'cause Stone Cold said so!" after Steve Austin defeated Jake "The Snake" Roberts in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament. Shawn Michaels also defends the WWF Title against the British Bulldog in a rematch from Beware of Dog that blew their first encounter away. The Undertaker and Mankind attempt to rip each other apart. The Godwinns try to get revenge against The Smoking Gunns and Sunny. Jerry "The King" Lawler attempts to make The Ultimate Warrior look good in the ring. Also, after kissing Ahmed Johnson, Goldust has to defend his golden Intercontinental Title against him. This event was great and historic! We break it down along with all the news and notes from that time period.SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.com/FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: maineventmarkspod@gmail.comSEARCH FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mainevent-marks/support Learn more about your ad choices.

This was the Great American Bash that advertised Ric Flair...but didn't deliver Ric Flair! "The Nature Boy" had recently been fired before this show after being advertised to defend the NWA Title against Lex Luger in a cage. He'd soon be popping up in the WWF. In a scramble, WCW decided to make a new World Title and replace Flair with Barry Windham. All in all, this event was weird. It starts with a Scaffold Match, it ends with an Mixed Tag Cage Match (sort of), and there's a lot of craziness in between with a Russian Chain Match, El Gigante vs One Man Gang, the Rock n Roll Express facing each other, Ron Simmons having to face Zeus, the Diamond Studd vs The Z-Man, Johnny B. Badd debuting against the Yellow F'n Dog, Big Josh taking on Blackblood in a (what else?) Lumberjack Match, and much more!SUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.com/FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: maineventmarkspod@gmail.comSEARCH FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mainevent-marks/support Learn more about your ad choices.

To celebrate our 1 year anniversary of podcasting, we're covering the very first ever WWF King of the Ring PPV from 1993! This was certainly a showcase for Bret Hart to show that he was WWF's answer to Ric Flair as the true Iron Man, it was a great introduction of Jerry Lawler as an in-ring competitor, Yokozuna battles for heel supremacy yet again, and this was Hulk Hogan's final appearance for the WWF until No Way Out 2002. This event was incredibly historic for multiple reasons, and we examine them all! While Greg couldn't make it, Troy is joined by guest Mr. Warren Hayes of the Mr. Warren Hayes Show, bringing all of his wrestling knowledge and expertise!WARREN HAYES ON TWITTER: @MrWarrenHayesWARREN HAYES ON YOUTUBE: YouTube.com/MrWarrenHayesSUBSCRIBE TO FUBOTV: fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34GET YOUR SPORTS SWAG ON FANATICS: fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKMLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.com/FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.comEMAIL US AT: maineventmarkspod@gmail.comSEARCH FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mainevent-marks/support Learn more about your ad choices.
