Send us a text or voicemail Fifty wrestlers. Four matches. One pilgrim hat. And a whole lot of sweaty men standing around waiting for their turn. Brad and Aaron head back to Thanksgiving 1987 for the very first WWF Survivor Series, where Hulk Hogan and André the Giant continue their WrestleMania III rivalry, Randy Savage leads an all-star team against the Honky Tonk Man, and the ring apron gets dangerously overcrowded. Along the way, we've got Jesse Ventura in head-to-toe snakeskin, Jimmy Ha...
Send us a text or voicemail Before Chelsea Green became WWE's Hot Mess, she was Reclusa, a sinister, spider-inspired character in Lucha Underground. And in 2018, she went one-on-one with Pentagon Dark, better known today as Penta. In this bonus episode of Grapple City Rewind, Brad and Aaron revisit this wild intergender match from Lucha Underground Season 4. We're talking Canadian Destroyers, high-flying offense, brutal kicks, thumbtacks, gasoline, and a version of Chelsea Green that might s...
Send us a text or voicemail Brad and Aaron head back to October 22, 2006 for their first full TNA show: Bound For Glory 2006. It’s peak six-sided-ring TNA, with a ridiculously stacked roster featuring Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Christian Cage, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, LAX, Chris Sabin, Senshi, Rhino, Abyss, Team 3D and more. The show ranges from chaotic X Division action and Monster’s Ball insanity to a title-vs.-career main event between Sting and Jeff Jarrett. ...
Send us a text or voicemail It’s spooky season at Grapple City Rewind, so we’re heading into the Temple for one of Lucha Underground’s most brutal matches: Mil Muertes vs. Fénix in the first-ever Grave Consequences match. The Man of a Thousand Deaths meets the Man of a Thousand Lives in a bloody, chaotic fight involving a coffin, concrete stairs, torn masks, busted-open faces, and one of the wildest atmospheres Lucha Underground ever created. Brad and Aaron break down the match, the bizarre ...
Send us a text or voicemail It’s 1996, WCW is beating the WWF in the ratings, the NWO is taking over, and somehow there are TWO Stings. Bradley Palermo and Aaron Fink rewind WCW Fall Brawl 1996, featuring WarGames, the real Sting vs. Fake Sting confusion, Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Lex Luger, Ric Flair and Arn Anderson, plus one of the most ridiculous finishes we’ve seen yet. Luger never even submits, Nick Patrick decides he did anyway, and the NWO keeps rolling. Elsewhere on the ca...
Send us a text or voicemail Grapple City Rewind throws out the rulebook for a bonus episode and jumps to October 29, 2020 for one of the most brutal matches of the pandemic era: WALTER vs. Ilja Dragunov for the NXT UK Championship. With zero fans in the building, every chop, kick, slap and scream echoes through the room as Dragunov tries to survive a champion already 573 days into his historic reign. Brad and Aaron talk WALTER before he became Gunther, Dragunov’s insane comeback, the match’s...
Send us a text or voicemail The boys head to Chicago’s Comiskey Park for AWA SuperClash ’85, a massive, chaotic attempt to answer WrestleMania with 25,000 fans, 13 matches, approximately 900 championships and more nationalism than anyone asked for. Brad and Aaron break down Ric Flair vs. Magnum T.A., the Road Warriors vs. the Fabulous Freebirds, Kerry Von Erich at full rock-star status, a completely unrecognizable Scott Hall, Curt Hennig, Sgt. Slaughter, Kamala, Stan Hansen beating the hell ...
Send us a text or voicemail Bradley and Aaron rewind to WWF SummerSlam 1999, a show where Jesse Ventura is governor and special guest referee, Shane McMahon somehow has one of the best matches on the card, and Jerry Lawler spends an alarming amount of time talking about asses. Chris Jericho makes his first WWF pay-per-view appearance, Al Snow and Big Boss Man brawl out of the arena and into a bar, Test fights Shane McMahon over his relationship with Stephanie, and The Rock faces Billy Gunn i...
