Main Event Marks

Episode 147: WWE WrestleMania 34

The Marks (Troy & Greg) were there live in New Orleans for this one. It gets a bit of a bad rep for being bad or forgettable, but there are actually some great matches at the 34th WrestleMania. In the massive SuperDome, Matt Hardy won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, Naomi won the Women's Battle Royal, Ronda Rousey makes her in-ring debut, Asuka put her undefeated streak on the line against Charlotte's SmackDown Women's Title, "The Goddess" Alexa Bliss attempts to hold on to her Raw Women's Title against "The Irresistible Force" Nia Jax, Men's Royal Rumble winner Shinsuke Nakamura goes for AJ Styles' WWE Title, Brock Lesnar collides with Roman Reigns in the main event for the Universal Title, and tons more! In the news, we discuss WWE striking up a deal to hold shows in Saudi Arabia, Alberto El Patron being fired from Impact Wrestling, a WWE legend passing away, the Rock's bad blood with John Cena and Vin Diesel, plus much more!ALL PODCAST, SOCIAL MEDIA, & MERCHANDISE LINKS: linktr.ee/MainEventMarksCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.com & bonfire.com/store/maineventmarksGET FUELED WITH SHOCKED ENERGY: https://shockedenergy.com/collections/all?sca_ref=1814354.mOXH7RrwKh&sca_source=MainEventMarks (promo code: MainEvent for 10% off)KEEP YOUR COFFEE GIMMICK FREE AND FRESH ROASTED TO ORDER WITH COFFEE BRAND COFFEE: https://coffeebrandcoffee.com/?ref=WC7vE0tK (promo code: MAINEVENT for 5% off)GET AWESOME SPORTS T-SHIRTS: intheclutch.com/MAINEVENT (use code "MAINEVENT" for 10% off)ORDER FROM SWIFT LIFESTYLES: SwiftLifestyles.com, use PROMO CODE: MainEventMarks at checkout for 15% offLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 9PM EST: tikilive.com/channel/BURNS Learn more about your ad choices.

BONUS: WCW/NJPW Japan Supershow

1991 was a turbulent time in wrestling and we get into all of that. We're only a few months away from WCW's top heel, Ric Flair, giving a middle finger to Jim Herd and WCW as a whole to head to New York and win the coveted WWF World Title. But, for now, "The Nature Boy" still reigns supreme with the Big Gold Belt around his waist. He defends that NWA World Title against IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Tatsumi "Dragon" Fujinami. Also on this card, the Steiner Brothers put the NWA Tag Titles on the line against IWGP Tag Champions Hiroshi Hasa & Kensuke Sasaki in another Title vs. Title match, Sting faces The Great Muta, Masa Saito & Masahiro Chono take on Barry Windham & Arn Anderson of The Four Horsemen, Jushin Liger defends the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title against Akira Nogami, and much more. In the news, we discuss the controversy over WrestleMania VII in the LA Coliseum, WWF & WSW drawing huge numbers in the Tokyo Dome, and tons more!ALL PODCAST, SOCIAL MEDIA, & MERCHANDISE LINKS: linktr.ee/MainEventMarksCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.com & bonfire.com/store/maineventmarksGET FUELED WITH SHOCKED ENERGY: https://shockedenergy.com/collections/all?sca_ref=1814354.mOXH7RrwKh&sca_source=MainEventMarks (promo code: MainEvent for 10% off)KEEP YOUR COFFEE GIMMICK FREE AND FRESH ROASTED TO ORDER WITH COFFEE BRAND COFFEE: https://coffeebrandcoffee.com/?ref=WC7vE0tK (promo code: MAINEVENT for 5% off)GET AWESOME SPORTS T-SHIRTS: intheclutch.com/MAINEVENT (use code "MAINEVENT" for 10% off)ORDER FROM SWIFT LIFESTYLES: SwiftLifestyles.com, use PROMO CODE: MainEventMarks at checkout for 15% offLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 9PM EST: tikilive.com/channel/BURNS Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 146: TNA Lockdown 2013

This was...A SHOW... It was the night Bully Ray shocked no one except or Hulk and Brooke Hogan, revealing that he's was the true leader of the Aces & Eights. He screws over Jeff Hardy in the main event cage match and makes the "big reveal" to close this show. Other than that, we've got a sub-par Lethal Lockdown between the Aces & Eights and Team TNA, Joey Ryan vs. Joseph Park is somehow on a pay-per-view, and both Robbies (E & T) do battle...BRO! On top of that, we've got a decent Knockouts Title match, a good Triple Threat for the X-Division Title, a fast-paced and fun Triple Threat Tag-Team Titles match, and we have fun laughing at TNA trying to fill up the gigantic Alamodome. In the news, we talk about Bret Hart's shoot interview on Triple H, Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff, and telling AJ Styles to leave TNA. We also discuss Scott Hall's health issues, TNA trying to leave the iMPACT! Zone in Orlando for good, The Rock being advertised for post-WrestleMania 29 shows, the death of a legend, the return of 2 other legends to the ring, and much more!ALL PODCAST, SOCIAL MEDIA, & MERCHANDISE LINKS: linktr.ee/MainEventMarksCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.com & bonfire.com/store/maineventmarksGET FUELED WITH SHOCKED ENERGY: https://shockedenergy.com/collections/all?sca_ref=1814354.mOXH7RrwKh&sca_source=MainEventMarks (promo code: MainEvent for 10% off)KEEP YOUR COFFEE GIMMICK FREE AND FRESH ROASTED TO ORDER WITH COFFEE BRAND COFFEE: https://coffeebrandcoffee.com/?ref=WC7vE0tK (promo code: MAINEVENT for 5% off)GET AWESOME SPORTS T-SHIRTS: intheclutch.com/MAINEVENT (use code "MAINEVENT" for 10% off)ORDER FROM SWIFT LIFESTYLES: SwiftLifestyles.com, use PROMO CODE: MainEventMarks at checkout for 15% offLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 9PM EST: tikilive.com/channel/BURNS Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 145: WWE WrestleMania XIX

This may be the second greatest WrestleMania of all time. From Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho to Rock vs. Austin 3, topped off with Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE Title, and everything in between, this is a top tier card. Even matches that weren't well received, like Triple H vs. Booker T or Vince McMahon vs. Hulk Hogan, are still really good. We discuss everything surrounding these matches, if the Triple H/Booker T feud was racist, plus heat between Shawn Michaels and The Rock that still lasts to this very day. In the news, we discuss Kurt Angle's major neck injury, William Regal almost dying from a parasite, WWE shutting down The World (the former WWF New York) in Time Square, Paul Heyman and Tommy Dreamer being kicked off the creative teams, and much more.ALL PODCAST, SOCIAL MEDIA, & MERCHANDISE LINKS: linktr.ee/MainEventMarksCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.com & bonfire.com/store/maineventmarksGET FUELED WITH SHOCKED ENERGY: https://shockedenergy.com/collections/all?sca_ref=1814354.mOXH7RrwKh&sca_source=MainEventMarks (promo code: MainEvent for 10% off)KEEP YOUR COFFEE GIMMICK FREE AND FRESH ROASTED TO ORDER WITH COFFEE BRAND COFFEE: https://coffeebrandcoffee.com/?ref=WC7vE0tK (promo code: MAINEVENT for 5% off)GET AWESOME SPORTS T-SHIRTS: intheclutch.com/MAINEVENT (use code "MAINEVENT" for 10% off)ORDER FROM SWIFT LIFESTYLES: SwiftLifestyles.com, use PROMO CODE: MainEventMarks at checkout for 15% offLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 9PM EST: tikilive.com/channel/BURNS Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 144: WCW Uncensored 1995

This may be one of the worst piece of crap shows any major wrestling company has ever produced. It's not for having a lack of star power, because we've got Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Vader, Macho Man, Sting, Jim Duggan, and more on this event. The problem is that WCW tried putting stupid stipulations on every match and it ruined a lot of it. They also didn't follow many of the rules that were put in place. Arn Anderson took on Johnny B. Badd in a Boxer vs. Wrestler match, Randy Savage faces Avalanche in a No DQ match (that ends in a way you wouldn't expect), Harlem Heat take on the Nasty Boys pretty much in a Concession Stand Brawl, and Hulk Hogan takes on Vader in a Strap match. Hogan will also introduce his "ultimate surprise," which is Ultimate Warrior look-alike, the Renegade. Also, let's not forget, not a single title was on the line all night. Good crap, pal! In the news, we discuss house shows dying and being replaced by more pay-per-views, Dr. Zahorian getting out of prison and wanting his medical license reinstated, a Hair vs. Hair match in Memphis, dream matches in Japan, and much more!ALL PODCAST, SOCIAL MEDIA, & MERCHANDISE LINKS: linktr.ee/MainEventMarksCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.com & bonfire.com/store/maineventmarksGET FUELED WITH SHOCKED ENERGY: https://shockedenergy.com/collections/all?sca_ref=1814354.mOXH7RrwKh&sca_source=MainEventMarks (promo code: MainEvent for 10% off)KEEP YOUR COFFEE GIMMICK FREE AND FRESH ROASTED TO ORDER WITH COFFEE BRAND COFFEE: https://coffeebrandcoffee.com/?ref=WC7vE0tK (promo code: MAINEVENT for 5% off)GET AWESOME SPORTS T-SHIRTS: intheclutch.com/MAINEVENT (use code "MAINEVENT" for 10% off)ORDER FROM SWIFT LIFESTYLES: SwiftLifestyles.com, use PROMO CODE: MainEventMarks at checkout for 15% offLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 9PM EST: tikilive.com/channel/BURNS Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 143: WWF WrestleMania IX

This is generally considered one of the worst WrestleManias in history, but DANG IT! It looked super cool! This show was littered with BS finishes, weird interviews, odd segments in the crowd, and people wearing togas. Also, this is the show were Bret Hart defended the WWF Title against Royal Rumble winner, Yokozuna. After this, Hulk Hogan ends up walking out of Caesar's Palace as the WWF Champion. How? LISTEN TO FIND OUT! Also, in the news, we talk about Jim Ross leaving WCW for the WWF, steroids being a hot topic in the locker rooms, territories shutting down, women's wrestling setting attendance records, and much more!ALL PODCAST, SOCIAL MEDIA, & MERCHANDISE LINKS: linktr.ee/MainEventMarksCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.com & bonfire.com/store/maineventmarksGET FUELED WITH SHOCKED ENERGY: https://shockedenergy.com/collections/all?sca_ref=1814354.mOXH7RrwKh&sca_source=MainEventMarks (promo code: MainEvent for 10% off)KEEP YOUR COFFEE GIMMICK FREE AND FRESH ROASTED TO ORDER WITH COFFEE BRAND COFFEE: https://coffeebrandcoffee.com/?ref=WC7vE0tK (promo code: MAINEVENT for 5% off)GET AWESOME SPORTS T-SHIRTS: intheclutch.com/MAINEVENT (use code "MAINEVENT" for 10% off)ORDER FROM SWIFT LIFESTYLES: SwiftLifestyles.com, use PROMO CODE: MainEventMarks at checkout for 15% offLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 9PM EST: tikilive.com/channel/BURNS Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 142: TNA Against All Odds 2012

Four of the top names in the company faced off in a World Title main event match with the iconic, legendary Sting at ringside. How could this show NOT be a smash hit!? Well...we'll explain it to you. "Against All Odds" seems to be a metaphore for this company refusing to give up the ghost. It's unkillable! But specifically about show, it seemed like an extended episode of iMPACT!. Sure, Austin Aries tore it up with Alex Shelley and AJ Styles had a decent match with Kazarian. But the story of it all was, "It could have been better." Even Gail Kim vs. Tara was a bit of a miss. There was something a tad off about this, and the company as a whole, in early 2012. We delve into that a bit on this podcast. Also, a scary injury takes place in the opening match of the show. Meanwhile, in the news, we talk about Dixie Carter lying to the world about firing Vince Russo. We also talk about The Rock bringing it...via satellite...before WrestleMania 28. John Laurinaitis is NOT fired, CM Punk is getting a 3-disk DVD set, a Diva gets injured, and there's backstage heat on The Miz. That and much more on this show!ALL PODCAST, SOCIAL MEDIA, & MERCHANDISE LINKS: linktr.ee/MainEventMarksCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.com & bonfire.com/store/maineventmarksGET FUELED WITH SHOCKED ENERGY: https://shockedenergy.com/collections/all?sca_ref=1814354.mOXH7RrwKh&sca_source=MainEventMarks (promo code: MainEvent for 10% off)KEEP YOUR COFFEE GIMMICK FREE AND FRESH ROASTED TO ORDER WITH COFFEE BRAND COFFEE: https://coffeebrandcoffee.com/?ref=WC7vE0tK (promo code: MAINEVENT for 5% off)GET AWESOME SPORTS T-SHIRTS: intheclutch.com/MAINEVENT (use code "MAINEVENT" for 10% off)ORDER FROM SWIFT LIFESTYLES: SwiftLifestyles.com, use PROMO CODE: MainEventMarks at checkout for 15% offLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 9PM EST: tikilive.com/channel/BURNS Learn more about your ad choices.

BONUS: WWF Raw, 02-05-01 (Last Raw at the Georgia Dome)

This was, to use a technical term, A SHOW. That was about it. For the final time WWF Monday Night Raw ever took place from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, it sure was a showcase of mediocrity. However, who the hell did they have to compete against!? As we mention in the news, ECW was all but shutdown at this time and WCW was supposedly shutting down temporarily after being sold to Eric Bischoff and his investors. Oh, how naïve we were to believe that WCW would live. Either way, Molly Holly is hunting down Raven and his masked female friend. The Kat is leading the charge against the Right to Censor with her "right to nudity" campaign (completely real). We see copious amounts of Vince McMahon perving on Trish Stratus in his office. Enemies The Rock and Kurt Angle are teamed up to take on two more enemies, Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin, to compete in the main event. We do get an Intercontinental Title and Tag-Team Title match on this show, however. And yes, there are tons AND TONS of mentions of the XFL across this show. Speaking of dying companies... We make it fun and entertaining, however, even if the WWF didn't bother to.ALL PODCAST, SOCIAL MEDIA, & MERCHANDISE LINKS: linktr.ee/MainEventMarksCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.com & bonfire.com/store/maineventmarksGET FUELED WITH SHOCKED ENERGY: https://shockedenergy.com/collections/all?sca_ref=1814354.mOXH7RrwKh&sca_source=MainEventMarks (promo code: MainEvent for 10% off)KEEP YOUR COFFEE GIMMICK FREE AND FRESH ROASTED TO ORDER WITH COFFEE BRAND COFFEE: https://coffeebrandcoffee.com/?ref=WC7vE0tK (promo code: MAINEVENT for 5% off)GET AWESOME SPORTS T-SHIRTS: intheclutch.com/MAINEVENT (use code "MAINEVENT" for 10% off)ORDER FROM SWIFT LIFESTYLES: SwiftLifestyles.com, use PROMO CODE: MainEventMarks at checkout for 15% offLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 9PM EST: tikilive.com/channel/BURNS Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 141: WCW SuperBrawl II

The main event saw Lex Luger defend the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against his best friend, Sting in Luger's final match in WCW until 1995. Also, the Dangerous Alliance is all over this card! Other matches on the show include Rick Rude defending his United States Heavyweight Championship against Ricky Steamboat, but Paul E. Dangerously is banned from ringside. Jushin Thunder Liger is taking on Flyin' Brian Pillman for the Light Heavyweight Championship. Arn Anderson and Bobby Eaton defend the World Tag Team Titles against The Steiner Brothers. Also, Barry Windham and Dustin Rhodes team up to take on "The Cruncher" Larry Zbyszko and "Stunning" Steve Austin. In the news, we're talking about steroid scandal fallout, Kerry Von Erich and Tom Zenk getting in trouble for drug charges, Johnny Ace being pushed in Japan because...well...everyone else left, and much more!ALL PODCAST, SOCIAL MEDIA, & MERCHANDISE LINKS: linktr.ee/MainEventMarksCHECK OUT OUR MERCHANDISE: MainEventMarks.redbubble.com & bonfire.com/store/maineventmarksGET FUELED WITH SHOCKED ENERGY: https://shockedenergy.com/collections/all?sca_ref=1814354.mOXH7RrwKh&sca_source=MainEventMarks (promo code: MainEvent for 10% off)KEEP YOUR COFFEE GIMMICK FREE AND FRESH ROASTED TO ORDER WITH COFFEE BRAND COFFEE: https://coffeebrandcoffee.com/?ref=WC7vE0tK (promo code: MAINEVENT for 5% off)GET AWESOME SPORTS T-SHIRTS: intheclutch.com/MAINEVENT (use code "MAINEVENT" for 10% off)ORDER FROM SWIFT LIFESTYLES: SwiftLifestyles.com, use PROMO CODE: MainEventMarks at checkout for 15% offLISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 9PM EST: tikilive.com/channel/BURNS Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 140: ECW Crossing the Line ’99

This was definitely a "we watched it so that you don't have to" type of show. Taz and Sabu get into a brawl on the show, many matches start and never finish, Sid appeared on the show to powerbomb some fools, the Dudley Boyz reveal their "mysterious benefactor," and we also had a couple of decent matches on the show. Super Crazy and Yoshihiro Tajiri locked up while Rob Van Dam and Jerry Lynn do battle over the TV Title to close the show. In the news, we discuss a Japanese legend passing away, memorializing the 15-year anniversary of the passing of a Mexican legend, WCW Nitro takes a week off from getting stomped by WWF Raw, the Road Dogg seeks help for his addictions, The Giant is set to start with the WWF by St. Valentines Day Massacre (now in the archives), and much more!
