Main Event Marks

WCW had just signed Hulk Hogan, but he wouldn't yet appear on pay-per-view for the Atlanta-based wrestling promotion. In this very first ever Spring Stampede show, WCW went back to "old faithful" with putting Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat against each other for the World Title in a main event straight out of 1989 (Chi-Town Rumble, to be exact). Also on the undercard were the Nasty Boys taking on Cactus Jack and Maxx Payne in a wild Street Fight, Dustin Rhodes and Buckhouse Buck in a bloody Bunkhouse match, Steven Regal defending his TV Title against Brian Pillman, Steve Austin defending his US Title against Great Muta, and Rick Rude's final WCW pay-per-view wrestling appearance against Sting for the International World Heavyweight Title (big gold). Tons of history on this one!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.

It was the second TNA Lockdown event ever, held just weeks after WrestleMania 22! Top to bottom, this all-cage pay-per-view has a lot of offer to a variety of fans and was actually a damn good and memorable show, topped off with Lethal Lockdown (their version of War Games). Jimmy Pallotto, who's a sports expert from the Unhinged Sports Network, stops by to fill in for one of the Marks, Greg, on this episode. He was more of a WWE fan at this time, but he loves looking back at classic TNA, as does host Troy.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.

WrestleMania went Hollywood back in 2005, just weeks before TNA held their first ever all-cage match pay-per-view, Lockdown. This is also the second WrestleMania in a row to break the trend of stadiums in favor of an arena. The story of this event is really "trying something new." The first ever Money in the Bank match takes place and two brand new up-and-coming champions were crowned. There were also a ton of celebrities in attendance, almost every match on the card was a banger, AND you get to see the Big Show wearing a diaper for a sumo wrestling match! How great is that!?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 certainly a fun event for anyone who likes classic TNA. Christian Cage defends his NWA Title in the main event against "The Alpha Male" Monty Brown, Samoa Joe defends his X-Division Title against AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels in an Ultimate X match, the World X Cup is decided, Jeff Jarrett's crew goes against Team 3D, Rhino, and Ron "The Truth Killings, the search for Sting/Steve Borden continues for Eric Young and Paparazzi Productions, and we get the TNA debut of a former WCW World Champion. This is some of the best and worst of old school TNA all wrapped up into one show. The Marks (Troy & Greg) are admitted big fans of TNA, so this is a tad bias, but they try to be as objective as possible.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 is a long one, but there's A LOT of subject matter to cover. And yes...there is a trigger warning in here for you! The Marks (Troy & Greg) are diving headfirst back into the Hell Hole that was Extreme Championship Wrestling. This one was quite the unique show, featuring multiple crimes and/or attempted crimes. The show opens with Dusty Rhodes vs Steve Corino in a Texas Bullrope Match, ends with Rhino vs Super Crazy, and doesn't have much going on in between with any quality. However, a man nearly dies! So that's discussed AT LENGTH. If you enjoy Vice's Dark Side of the Ring series, you may dig this 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--- 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 are officially 2 decades removed from the final pay-per-view event under the World Championship Wrestling banner. Rookies squashed some legends, some legends really SHOWED THEIR ASSES, new champions were crowned, the opener was surprisingly awesome, and the main event was complete insanity! There is plenty to talk about on this one, from top to bottom! Also, in the news, the Marks (Troy & Greg) are talking about a teenager sentenced to life in prison after claiming to have killed his sister with a wrestling move, Time Warner trying to get rid of some lawsuits, the impending doom of the XFL 1.0, and some snags in Fusient Media's purchase of WCW. All that and more on our 40th episode!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.

It's a special double main event as Hulk Hogan clashes with Sid Justice and "Nature Boy" Ric Flair defends the WWF Title against the "Macho Man" Randy Savage! The Marks (Troy & Greg) both absolutely love the year 1992 in the WWF, and this show is a big reason why. Sid and Hogan's friendship fell apart, leading to this match. Meanwhile, Flair claims Miss Elizabeth was sleeping with him before getting with Savage. Or was she!? There's tons of cool stuff on and around this show that the Marks dive into. On top of that, in the news and notes section, they discuss the steroid scandal in the WWF that's still dragging on and the fact that WCW has a changing of the guard in leadership.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.

TNA pay-per-views were still in their infancy here, but the Marks (Troy & Greg) had their fandom fully bloomed for Total Nonstop Action wrestling! However, this was certainly less "a tale of two shows" and more of "a tale of 3-4 shows." You've got an amazing Iron Man match, a garbage match, multiple decent tag-team matches, and a main event that was horse s**t booked on acid between two members of the Over the Hill Gang. The true fandom of the Marks comes out on this show and the frustration boils over when they review the main event.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.

Plucked from the mid-Ruthless Aggression Era, this was when WWE was really pumping out a great in-ring product with some over-the-top storylines! The stars seemed more like...you know...stars. The match quality was usually pretty good or amazing, and SmackDown was regularly handing Raw its ass (this SmackDown-exclusive PPV being no exception). However, WWE had to make the best of a bad situation here before WrestleMania 22. Eddie Guerrero just passed away and one of their biggest stars, Batista, was still out with an injury. But by God, WWE delivered! Enjoy this monthly bonus for February of 2021, on the 15 year anniversary of this last stop on the Road to WrestleMania 22!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.

After the events of Starrcade 1997, the WCW World Heavyweight Title was held up. Now, Sting gets his SECOND chance to take on Hollywood Hogan in this show's main event. Will there be shenanigans? Of course there will be! It's WCW! There is also a major defection from WCW to the NWO, some confusion about the loyalties of the Macho Man, and someone loses their mask! Cohost, Greg, was actually live and in-person at this show! He shares all of his experiences from being in the audience while cohost, Troy, gives his opinions from seeing the show on the WWE Network.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.
