Monday Night Raw 1 & 2
Friday Oct 14, 2022
Friday Oct 14, 2022
This week, we are uncooked, uncut, and uncensored! The shows that started it all! We talk how Raw is the template for the modern wrestling presentation. We are baffled by the choice of having Rob Bartlett in the roll of offensive commentary. We marvel at how even from the beginning, the matches didn't matter. We enjoyed Doink making children cry and caused an overuse of the word "bruh." We also have a full change of heart on The Repo Man. Tim also gives us a graphic definition of raw. Thanks for listening!

We take the plunge into the beautiful world of High-Definition television! Tim has COVID and in true show fashion, caught it at an indie-wrestling show. We talk John Legend and Jesus Christ Superstar. We discuss Harry Potter a little bit, and how much of a hellhole Orlando can be. Also, we talk about WrestleMania 24. There's a discussion of Edge's ability to be main event potential. We say a farewell to Ric Flair for a minute. We fawn over Big Show and Floyd "Money" Mayweather. We are conflicted over Snoop Dogg's participation, and appreciate Kim Kardashian welcoming us to the Super Bowl. This episode is "like, really big." Thanks for listening!

Rumble ’96 w/ Dr. Jess Krenek
Friday Sep 02, 2022
Friday Sep 02, 2022
We have a special episode this week! Dr. Jessica Krenek joined us in studio to discuss her work in studying non-male wrestling fans and topics surrounding that, such as gatekeeping and inter-gender wrestling. Dr. Jess then sticks around to break down the action of the 1996 Royal Rumble. We probe deep into the contradictory messaging the WWF was presenting at the time, chuckle at the Billionaire Ted bits, and analyze the Freudian tensions between Goldust and Razor Ramon. Rich also dodges and parries all attempts at claiming that Doink was his favorite wrestler. Thanks for listening!

Friday Aug 19, 2022
Tim and Rich get into all the gory details of Starrcade '85! Rich and Tim appreciate the honesty in Abdullah's approach to violence. Rich compares JJ Dillon to classic American art and the auditory delights of a microphone pounding on Magnum TA's skull. Tim and Rich both revel in the production differences between this and the first WrestleMania. A true portrayal of the difference between wrestling and wrasslin'! Thanks for listening!

By listener request, we get into possibly the greatest Royal Rumble of all time! We marvel again at the abilities and stamina of Ric Flair as he styles and profiles his way into the WWF Championship.

The First WrestleMania
Friday Jul 22, 2022
Friday Jul 22, 2022
We decided it was time to get back to our roots. It was time to get into the first WrestleMania from 1985. We acknowledge the singing genius of Gene Okerlund, the terrified looks of Alfred Hayes, and compare this event to the shelling of Fort Sumter. We calculate the rate of inflation and gasp at Andre the Giant body slamming Big John Studd. We revel in the voices of Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura, and we discuss Gorilla's weird nicknames for people, plus so much more! Thanks for listening!

Tim and Rich explore WrestleMania 23. They complain about it taking almost four hours to present eight matches, the decline of the Intercontinental Title, and the appearance of a former President. Tim explores Greek Mythology and Rich vents about rude concertgoers. There's discussion of how the WWE product has become sterile, audiences don't follow the standard good guy/bad guy routine, and how there's now THREE brands in WWE. Plus, both are baffled how you could ever book Ric Flair in the dark match!? Thanks for listening! www.allthewrestlemanias.com

Who We Are
Co-Hosts Tim "The Hammer" Hackman (Huracan Ramirez) and Rich "The Natural" Sigwald (Prince Puma) met at a library conference in 2015 and bonded over their shared love of professional wrestling and other nerdy interests. In 2020 the pair decided to pursue the epic, some might say quixotic, project of watching All the WrestleManias in order and writing about their experience. This podcast represents their collaborative efforts.
