Main Event Marks

It's not on the WWE Network, but the Marks have their ways of watching. Rob Van Dam faced Tommy Dreamer, Taz took on Al Snow (who was transitioning from Lief Cassidy), Shane Douglas took on a very young Lance Storm (with a rat tail!!!), the Dudley Boyz took on the Chair Swinging Freaks in a weird match, and Terry Funk closed the show with Sabu, completely ripping each other apart (literally) with barbed wire! It's been well documented that co-host, Greg, hates ECW and he tried to get Troy to change the show they cover, but they stayed the course. It made for a pretty entertaining review with some funny stuff.FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodEMAIL 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 show was at the peak of co-host Greg's fandom and at the beginning of co-host Troy's fandom. Jeff Jarrett was just starting to warn people not to piss him off as he cut people's hair for no reason, Stone Cold was white hot as he put his title on the line against the Undertaker, and the Rock put his Intercontinental Title on the line against Triple H in an amazing Ladder match! This and more comes to you from the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden!FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodEMAIL 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 time for another b-b-b-bonus show! This time, Main Event Marks host, Troy, is being joined by Jacob Grondy from the Curtain Jerkin' podcast on the Wrestling With Wrestling network. Together, they break down the very first ever SummerSlam in WWE history from 1988! WWF Champion "Macho Man" Randy Savage was in need of a partner, so he called up Hulk Hogan to form the Mega Powers against Ted DiBiase & Andre the Giant--the Mega Bucks! The longest reigning Intercontinental Champion of all time, the Honky Tonk Man, was also in need of a challenger after "Outlaw" Ron Bass injured Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. Who should answer that call? From Parts Unknown, it's the Ultimate Warrior, here to squash Honky! Hear all this and so much more on this blast from the Golden Era past!FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodEMAIL 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.

Hulk Hogan finally dropped the "Hollywood" moniker, started donning the red & yellow, and became a good guy again. After that, Kevin Nash agreed to put his career on the line for a shot at Hogan's WCW Title. How can it get any better (he asks, sarcastically)? It all took place on a hot August night at Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. This was the final time WCW would hold a show at the famous bike gathering, and this was a mercy killing. The Insane Clown Posse were in the opening match, Dennis Rodman battled it out with the Macho Man, and almost every single match on this show was awful. The Marks have a ton of fun with this one, as WCW was (as Tony Schiavone calls it) a coffin on rollerskates at this point!FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodEMAIL 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.

Besides retro wrestling, the Marks are passionate about one other thing: Toys! In this bonus episode for August, Troy & Greg are running down all the latest figure reveals by AEW and WWE at San Diego Comic Con 2020, along with a few more new figures revealed within the past month or two. Besides just telling you about the figures themselves, they give their opinions and talk about what will most likely go first on the market.FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodEMAIL 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.

The Marks (Troy & Greg) were physically in New York City and Brooklyn all week for this show, doing typical touristy stuff and, of course, hardcore figure hunting! SummerSlam 2015 was the biggest SummerSlam ever up to that point and was the first one in YEARS to be outside Los Angeles. The Undertaker came back for revenge on Brock Lesnar...18 months after losing to him at WrestleMania XXX! Also, Seth Rollins duels with John Cena for the US Title and WWE Title! The New Day were heels, running wild on the WWE Tag-Team Division! And does anyone remember that former Daily Show host, Jon Stewart, was the special SummerSlam celebrity host? Besides that, the Marks talk about the news from around that time that involved a major death in the wrestling world, lots of mixing of wrestling and porn during this time, and even a few big stories that involved racism in wrestling.FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodEMAIL 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 show that was supposed to go head-to-head with WrestleMania 5 on pay-per-view before PPV providers stabbed Ted Turner in the back and the NWA was forced to move the date of the show. The Marks (Troy & Greg) are wrapping up their review of the events that carried the legendary 1989 Ric Flair/Ricky Steamboat trilogy, and it was a hell of a way to end an action-packed July. The show itself was what it was, and the Marks break down what could have and should have been along with what actually happened in Memphis.On top of the review of the event itself, the Marks are talking about a "big" debut in the WWF and what's to come from it, the theater and distribution deals surrounding No Holds Barred, a soon-to-be major signing for Uncle Vinny's Rasslin' Entertainment, a big signing for the NWA, and a not-so-major signing for the NWA. Plus, how did Japan's big yearly Tokyo Dome show compare with WrestleMania 5, where the Mega Powers exploded?

This one is a tad longer than usual, but for good reason. The World Wrestling Federation held their 16th In Your House event in Canada during the red hot rivalry between the Canada-loving Hart Foundation and the entire United States of America. With only 4 matches on the card, you wouldn't expect much, but this was one of the greatest In Your House shows ever (if not the best). A lot went down at this time as well, with the Monday Night Wars raging and Mike Tyson biting Evander Holyfield's ear off during a fight in Las Vegas. All that and more is covered by the Marks (Troy & Greg) in this action-packed episode!FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodEMAIL 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.

The Marks are diving into the second match in the trilogy between Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat. In the Marks' opinions, this match was even better than the first one and co-host Troy has a, possibly, unpopular opinion about the infamous 2-Out-of-3 Falls Match and another hour-long match. Quite a few matches got cancelled from this card and moved to World Championship Wrestling on Saturday night and others were cut from the WWE Network for some reason. This would also be the last televised appearance in the NWA for Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express. Check out all the retro rasslin' goodness!FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodEMAIL US AT: maineventmarkspod@gmail.comSEARCH FOR US ON YOUTUBE: 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 a hot one Dayton for Extreme Championship Wrestling. For as much as the Marks (Troy & Greg) disliked many things about ECW, they didn't dislike this event. In full heel form, the Dudley Boyz nearly start a riot with a blistering promo on the crowd right before defending the World Tag-Team Titles against Balls Mahoney and Spike Dudley. Besides that, a chibi Steve Corino is all over this show, Tommy Dreamer feints retirement, Taz is out for blood against "The Japanese Buzzsaw" Yoshihiro Tajiri, and RVD and Jerry Lynn make strange bedfellows as they take on the Impact Players, much to the chagrin of Sabu. Besides the event itself, the Marks are talking Sable suing the WWF over her name, then-governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura agreeing to referee the main event at SummerSlam, WCW financially and creatively going down the poop tubes, and much more!FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM:@MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK:www.facebook.com/maineventmarkspodSEARCH FOR US ON YOUTUBE: 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.
