Well, it had to happen sometime. Mark and I have had enough. When we started this show we did not want to spend every week dissecting everything that happened that week on RAW, Impact Wrestling, and Ring of Honor. There were plenty of wrestling podcasts that ranted weekly about what was airing. We wanted to talk about the wrestling we grew up with…but enough is enough. After 8 months of biting our tongues it was time to let loose. This is the rant about everything we don’t like about wrestling today. From Vince Russo to bunnies to trying to pin someone while they’re face down on the mat…you get the picture. Put the women and children to bed, because the Double Dropkick Show is turning heel this week.

How many belts do you take to a wrestling convention?

In August 2014, Mark and I attended the NWA Legends fan fest in Charlotte, NC. Here are our raw thoughts from the first day which includes a description of the fans you meet at a Wrestling Convention. Day 1 also included a panel discussing Dusty Rhodes influence on wrestling which featured JJ Dillon, Kevin Sullivan, Magnum TA, Tully Blanchard, and Barry Windham.
