E52 - Attitude Era Summerslams - Fantasy Booking Evolution

WWE Pro Wrestling Podcast...Of course we couldn't start a wrestling show this week without first discussing the big announcement on Raw. AN ALL WOMEN PPV!!! We talk about the significance of this and how far women's wrestling has come, but we also have to make fun of WWE's handling of it a bit...Then we take it a step further ad start fantasy booking some dream matches we would like to see for the show...They are bringing back former women for this show so there was no shortage of fun matchups for us to choose from...

Then in our Main Event we are celebrating Summerslam season by starting a new trilogy...SUMMERSLAM MAIN EVENTS...This week we begin back in the Attitude Era as Chace takes us back to a time when the main events were full of star power...but still had a hard time standing out over some midcard matches that stole the show...Summerslams 98 & 00 are our focus as guys like Rock, HHH, the Hardys, Edge & Christian all tried to make a name for themselves at the biggest show of the summer...

And we wrap things up by giving out some coveted Mark Out Awards and talking Raw and Smackdown from this past week...Lesnar has his Summerslam opponent and once again its Roman Reigns...How do we feel about this and is this the best version of Roman we can hope for at this point?..We are having to eat a little crow(AGAIN!), this time because of Randy Orton and his killer promo that kicked off SD...Becky gets a title shot...A stunt baby tries to steal the show...Goodbye Ellsworth...Hello Samoa Joe and much more on a jam packed episode of Sorry for Marking....

E51 - Extreme Rules Reactions - Raw Talk

WWE Water Cooler Talk...The last PPV before Summerslam is in the books and SFM is back reacting to Extreme Rules...It may not have been the best show we've ever seen but at the end of the day average wrestling is fun wrestling, and Extreme Rules gave us plenty to mark out over and discuss...

The show was carried by a a few very good matches...Lashley showed out in a very physical match with Roman...Rusev showed he belongs in the main event scene with his performance against the Phenomenal One...And Ziggler & Rollins did their best to end the show with a bang (Despite very little help from a tough Pittsburgh crowd)...We just need a little bit more from the Tag Team and Women's Divisions if these are supposed to be "super shows"... But we are confident one of those divisions are going to get it together...

We also get into a little Raw talk as we get ready to head down the Road to Summerslam...Is a Lashley-Roman rematch really what we wanted to see? How would we have booked the 2 triple threat matches on Monday?...Ronda v Bliss is official for Summerslam. How is Wes handling the news?...Where does Chace hope to see Rollins go after failing to earn a much deserved Universal Title shot?...And what else would we like to see at the upcoming second biggest show of the year?...

E50- Modern Era Little Guys - Golden Mark Out Awards

WWE Water Cooler Talk....HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! We are 50 episodes in and we are celebrating with a very special edition of SFM...In our Gimmick Segment this week we are looking back at the best from our first 50...Which performers, moments, and match stand out above the rest during our time so far? They will be walking away with our special edition GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY MARK OUT AWARDS...

Then it is on to the main event where we are wrapping up our trilogy on the "Little Guys"...After looking back at our Attitude and Ruthless Aggression Eras we saw who was responsible for blazing the trail for the smaller wrestlers we see dominating today...AJ Styles...Daniel Bryan...Seth Rollins...These guys are on top of the world despite not being close to the biggest guys on the roster...Is this the newest evolution of the business or do we think the pendulum swing back to the Giants one day? How does the cruiserweight division remain important with the new standard?

We're on to Extreme Rules so we look at back at the best of the go home shows and get a temperature check on some of these stories going into the weekend...Then we close things out looking ahead at the card and making our official predictions...

Thank you all for joining us once again! It's been a fun first 50 and we couldn't have done it without you all, our Day 1 is H Listeners...Here's to 50 more!

E49- RA Era Little Guys - Booking the BBQ

WWE Water Cooler Talk....We kick things off with a fun yet very important discussion. It was July 4th week so here at SFM we are Booking the BBQ in our Gimmick Segment...Who would we invite from the current WWE roster? There are a few different types of parties we can have here but we think we settle on a pretty fun crew in the end...

In our Main Event we continue on with our Little Guys discussion. This week traveling back to a very important era for these wrestlers, the Ruthless Aggression Era...This was a time when former Cruiserweights like Guerrero, Mysterio, and Benoit shattered the glass ceiling and became main event level stars...They blazed the trail for may of the undersized stars we see today like Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles...On top of that the RA Era was also special because the Cruiserweight Division was added with the purchase of WCW...Who had Wes marking out in the CW Division back in the day? With stars like Kidman, Noble, Hurricane, and Tajiri there was plenty of talent to choose from...

And of course we get into the current Raw and SD shows...It was a busy week for Roman, much to the dismay of many fans, but Wes thinks he might be seeing signs that something interesting may be happening for Roman and he makes his case...Chace about has a meltdown as we get into the Bayley-Sasha counseling story...And Team Hell No is back reminding us all how entertaining their dynamic can be... 

Thanks for joining for another week here for our water cooler chat...Be sure you are subscribed so you are always in on the action and invite a friend in to join us....
