Episode 96 - Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair in a Steel Cage (Detroit - MI - October 23, 1994)

November 06, 2023 01:08 - 48 minutes - 39.3 MB

It’s road trip time as Tariq recalls his memorable but completely hellacious trip to Detroit with three people he would rather not have gone with.  On top of that we talk about the booking nightmare that Halloween Havoc 1994 turned out to be.  In a nutshell, Hogan, Flair, Mr. T., Arn Anderson or Brutus Beefs in a mask, Muhammad Ali, Sting, and Jimmy Hart all get involved in this singles cage match.  What an absolute shit show.  With all that said, Sherri stole the show, watch and you will un...

Episode 95 - The Debut of the bWo - (Philadelphia, PA - November 19, 1996)

October 16, 2023 07:11 - 31 minutes - 24.9 MB

When you talk about parodies there should be one name that comes to mind for everyone, Weird Al Yankovich.  In this week’s intro we talk about the greatness of Weird Al and which one of his works we liked most.  Tariq talks about how he credits Weird Al for providing his children a fundamental understanding of English grammar. With regards to wrestling parodies, one of the greatest of the 1990’s and maybe of all time is the bWo.  We start of the core of this episode by seeing how many bWo m...

Episode 94 - Dominik Mysterio vs Rey Mysterio Jr. - (Inglewood, California - April 1, 2023)

September 23, 2023 11:42 - 33 minutes - 31.2 MB

Have you ever wanted to beat up your dad?  How many people on earth can actually say that got paid to beat up their dad?  Well, Dominik Mysterio can, and that’s one of the reasons why you hate him.   In our intro this week Jim and Tariq talk about their kids challenging them and getting put in their place.  Jim’s kids actually tried to physically challenge him which is ridiculous because he’s 6’8 and Tariq’s daughter actually punched him square in the face!   This match from Wrestlemania 3...

Episode 93 - Wrestling Deaths in 2023

September 07, 2023 12:03 - 29 minutes - 24.1 MB

2023 has seen the death of a remarkable number of highly skilled professional wrestlers.  In addition to the shocking passing of Bray Wyatt this week, we also lost some great legends including Lanny Poffo, Exotic Adrian Street, Superstar Billy Graham, and quite possibly one of wrestling’s greatest performers ever, Terry Funk.   --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sixmantagpodcast/support

Episode 92 - Terry Funk vs Aldo Marino (1985)

August 26, 2023 09:55 - 21 minutes - 18.3 MB

Coincidentally this episode was recorded a day prior to Terry Funk’s passing so Tariq and Jim didn’t provide a career overview of Terry Funk and what he meant to Pro Wrestling.  Quite frankly such a discussion would need at least a month of discussion to do it justice. This week the episode began by discussing moments when Pro Wrestling seemed real to both Jim and Tariq.  Jim and Tariq discuss angles involving Dr. D, Randy Savage, Andy Kaufman and more.   The match itself might quite possi...

Episode 91 - Genichiro Tenryu vs Hulk Hogan (Tokyo, Japan - 12/12/1991)

August 23, 2023 23:49 - 26 minutes - 22.6 MB

In this episode Tariq and Jim talk about the different faces they have… It will make sense once you listen to the discussion. The reason we did so is because this week we are reviewing what is one of the hidden treasures of Hulk Hogan’s career as he takes on Genichiro Tenryu in an outstanding match.  Spoiler alert, Hulk Hogan does an enzigiri!  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sixmantagpodcast/support

August 06, 2023 15:20 - 28 minutes - 23.9 MB

This week we talk about everything British to us and take a look at an Indy match coming out of the UK that has been making the rounds on social media.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with the backwards ways in which America does things, this week we discuss pounds, inches, feet, yards and even the American political environment in 2023.  Sit back and enjoy Jim reacting to Tariq losing his mind again and again in this episode.   --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotif...

Episode 89 FMWE - Live Event Report - The Return of Tokogi (Yokohama, Japan - 7/9/2023)

July 27, 2023 01:53 - 19 minutes - 16.7 MB

In this week’s episode we talk about the insanity of the recent FMWE show and how Atsushi Onita created a war like environment at a Professional Wrestling show.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sixmantagpodcast/support

Episode 88 - The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff with Classy Freddy Blassie vs. Bary Windham and Mike Rotundo with Captain Lou Albano (New York, NY - 3/1/1985)

July 03, 2023 20:45 - 36 minutes - 34.1 MB

Were you alive in 1985?  If you were we bet you won’t believe what went down in 1985!  In this episode we discuss the major events that happened in and around Wrestlemania 1.  For those of you who weren’t around, this is an episode that will likely blow your mind. The match this week comes on the heels of the death of the Iron Sheik and it features his tag team championship win alongside his longtime partner Nikolai Volkoff.  Although most people remember these two for their singing of the ...

Episode 87 - Tazz vs Kurt Angle (New York, NY - 01/23/2000)

June 25, 2023 16:51 - 43 minutes - 35.3 MB

Tariq and Jim talk about their experiences going somewhere for the first time and Tariq talks about how his insistence on seeing how the locals live in the Bahamas scarred him for life.    This week we take a close look at the debut of the WWF Tazz (also known as the ECW Taz) and just how great a debut match this was.  It’s hard to believe that the WWF totally ignored how over Tazz was and decided to basically bury his character.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/...

Episode 86 - The Undertaker vs Mankind (Pittsburg, PA - 6/28/1997)

June 05, 2023 14:00 - 40 minutes - 31.5 MB

Have you ever broken a bone or been seriously injured?  This week, Tariq and Jim recall their childhood injuries with Tariq talking about multiple inconceivable injuries as a child and Jim talking about something that made Tariq cringe.  The reason why we talked about our own injuries this week were that we covered a match famous for the injuries that resulted from this match. If you haven’t seen this match ever, how can you call yourself a wrestling fan if you haven’t, go and watch this ma...

Episode 85 - Razor Ramon vs Dean Douglas (Winnipeg, Canada - 10/22/1995)

May 28, 2023 06:35 - 39 minutes - 31.2 MB

Do you have any memories of your favorite teachers?  Which teacher did you hate the most and why?  This week Tariq and Jim talk about teachers.  You will get to learn about Tariq’s first crush, Jim’s respect for an unsung hero and how Tariq behaved like an absolute prick during his Jr. High School days. All of this brings us to, arguably, one of the most famous wrestling matches involving a teacher gimmick, Dean Douglas’ infamous title defense of the intercontinental title against Razor Ra...

Episode 84 - Shun The Skywalker and Diamante vs. Kung Fu Masters (Kobe, Japan - 7/30/2022)

May 16, 2023 11:25 - 25 minutes - 23.9 MB

In this wrestling only episode, we start off with a bit off news about Mac Donald stealing the show at FMWE “The Dawn”.  Just when you think he cannot outdo himself, Mac leaves you shaking your head, in a good way.  From there we get into this week’s match and a look at something that is stereotypically offensive especially for those who are sensitive but, if you can take the joke, all of this humor is done in good fun. Jim takes the lead on the play by play this week as we talk about how g...

Episode 83 - Gentleman Jervis vs Orange Cassidy (Austin, TX - May 12, 2019)

April 28, 2023 12:32 - 27 minutes - 22.2 MB

Ladies first? Not in Japan.  This week we take a look at a couple of the rather usual customs that exist in Japan.  Many of them will come to surprise you, especially if you have never been to Japan before. The match this week features, in Tariq’s opinion, of the the greatest spots ever pulled off in a comedy wrestling match.  Without giving away the spot, one of the combatants in this match sucks his own thumb in order to get out of a compromising position.  That spot has to be seen to be ...

Episode 82 - Juventud Guerrera vs Blitzkrieg (Tacoma, Washington - April 11, 1999)

April 13, 2023 16:06 - 35 minutes - 25.1 MB

Are you juicy?  This week we talk about, “The Juicy One”, and that’s why this week’s internet bullshit list is about the top 10 juices?!   Our match this week features one of wrestling’s one hit wonders, Blitzkrieg.  If you don’t know Blitzkrieg go back and watch his matches, we are sure that you will see moves that are in almost every wrestler’s repertoires today.  Although he was ahead of his time and had a significant impact on wrestlers today he only worked for WCW for a year before mov...

Episode 81 - Kenny Omega vs El Hijo Del Vikingo (Independence, Mo., March 22, 2023)

April 07, 2023 17:25 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MB

Finally both Jim and Tariq created their own top 5 lists and they sudden realize that making these lists are not as simple as they seem. We are curious what are you 5 most favorite angles ever?  This week’s match features the AEW Debut of El Hijo Del Vikingo as he faces off against Kenny Omega.  We know we have been a big heavy on the Kenny Omega matches as of late but it seems as if he has recently put himself in the center of some really great matches.  This match is a lot of what you mig...

Episode 79 - Dynamite Kid vs Tiger Mask (Madison Square Garden, New York - July 29, 1983)

March 14, 2023 16:17 - 33 minutes - 27 MB

Have you ever played with a Speak ’n Spell? If so, then you will understand why both Jim and Tariq were mesmerized by the device in their childhood. In addition to that, Jim and Tariq talk about things which were way ahead of their time when growing up and Tariq again recounts his admiration for Teddy Ruxpin, while Jim talks about playing an online game for the first time ever in 1999. This week’s match is something so far ahead of its time that it could have headlined any show today, some ...

Episode 78 - Hornswaggle vs El Torino (East Rutherford, New Jersey - May 4, 2014)

February 25, 2023 05:27 - 25 minutes - 21.1 MB

Midget wrestling. That’s right, this week we get into a discussion about the differences between midget wrestling of the 1980’s and modern day minis. Jim and Tariq recall their horrific memories of Bundy nearly killing a midget wrestler at Wrestlemania 3 and Tariq talks about ranking Mascarita Sagrada Jr. as one of his top three favorites of all time! This match features a lot of puns in the commentary and the mini announcing team of Micro Cole, Jerry “The Mini King” Lawler and Wee BL almos...

Episode 77 - Invisible Man vs Invisible Stan (White Eagle Hall, New Jersey - April 5, 2019)

February 18, 2023 01:00 - 28 minutes - 23 MB

Hear Jim talk all about his love for Marvel in great detail and how he can easily name 400 hundred Marvel super heroes. We then get into a detailed discussion of super powers and come to a consensus that although invisibility seems cool, its basically just a power for perverts. Today’s match is not only the greatest match that you have never seen but it is without a doubt one of the greatest spectacles that either of us have ever seen in wrestling ever. Moreover, this match features, quite p...

Episode 76 - REWIND - Laredo Kid vs. El Hijo Del Vikingo (AAA - September 6, 2019)

February 11, 2023 01:00 - 42 minutes - 23.8 MB

This week we talk about the importance of brotherly love, Tariq loses his mind over Teddy Ruxpin, Mike will surely gross you out and we talk about out first memories of Lucha. Tariq’s first ever exposure to Lucha might be the most ridiculous wrestling match you have ever heard of. In this week’s “Who the F### is that Guy?” can Mike end Jim’s winning streak? And in “the Roster” chaos ensues as Mike and Tariq butt heads. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sixm...

Episode 75 - The Florida Brothers vs. Kensuke Sasaki and Akira Hokuto (Kobe, Japan 7/4/2004)

February 08, 2023 01:00 - 33 minutes - 31.2 MB

Ever been to Florida? This week we are introducing you to some of the crazy things that go on in Florida and if you are not American you will likely be shocked by what you hear! The reason we are talking about Florida is because we have the privilege of introducing many of you to the Florida Brothers. If you don’t know who these two are, be ready to laugh, especially if you can speak Japanese and have a basic understanding of Japanese. If you don’t speak Japanese, don’t worry, as Tariq is go...

This week Tariq talks to us about his experience of attending FMW-E's rocket match and why he loves seeing things explode, we all lose our mind over the absolutely insane Sasuke Special during this week's main event, Jim tries to extend his winning streak in "Who the F### is that guy?" and in “this or that?”bomb matches or barbed wire matches? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sixmantagpodcast/support

February 01, 2023 01:00 - 50 minutes - 46.6 MB

Who is the best foreign wrestler in Japan ever? How would you even come to a conclusion on that topic? We start off by taking a look at two internet bullshit lists, one of which is almost perfect, the other not so much. Following that we take a look at two of this generations best foreign wrestlers in Japan, Kenny Omega and Will Osprey. An outstanding match but its a shame that it was held in a half full Tokyo Dome. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sixmant...

In what is clearly the funniest match that we have reviewed to date, Orange Cassidy takes on PAC in what is surely to be one of this generation's classics. Can Jim be dethroned in this week's, "Who the F### is that guy?" and in "This or That?"

Having a great match on a big show is one thing but having the greatest match of your storied career on one of the most historically significant cards ever is a whole different thing. This card was a joint card between New Japan Pro Wrestling, All Japan Pro Wrestling and WWF just a mere days after The Ultimate Warrior dethrones Hulk Hogan for the WWF title in Toronto’s Skydome. This match, without a doubt is a must watch for every wrestling fan, especially those who are familiar with both S...

Do you love your grandfather? Well… Tariq doesn’t. Tariq starts off by talking about having nearly 100 first cousins and how big families lead to having to deal with all kinds of problematic people. Listen in as Tariq explains, in detail, why he has a strong dislike for his grandfather and has no respect for him as a man. You might be wondering how that introduction is related to this week’s match. Tariq explains that too! Regarding the match, Tariq and Jim give their thoughts on the ramp a...

January 11, 2023 01:00 - 36 minutes - 15.6 MB

In this week's episode we watch a match that none of us were even alive for! It's 1969 and Bull Curry takes on Johnny Valentine in a 2 out of 3 falls match from the Sam Houston Coliseum. Although Greg “The Hammer” Valentine called this a classic, we all agree its far from a classic and none of us can even understand the finish. In addition, both Mike and Jim struggle with this week’s, “Who the F### is that Guy?” and in this week’s “This or That” there’s a unanimous decision about Tape Tradin...

Episode 67 - The Great Muta vs Shinsuke Nakamura (Tokyo, Japan - 1/1/2023)

January 05, 2023 01:00 - 41 minutes - 33 MB

What is this match going to be most remembered for? Hopefully not the post match press conference. In what can only be described as a first ballot Hall of Fame worthy career, The Great Muta has his final singles match in The Nippon Budokan facing off against current WWE Superstar Shinsuke Nakamura. The match itself was a spectacle and featured one of the greatest entrances in modern wrestling history which is why we talked about the greatest entrances ever according to the Bleacher Report in...

December 31, 2022 01:00 - 43 minutes - 40 MB

The World Cup of Wrestling?! The World Cup in Qatar has just ended and we thought that this would be an opportune time to discuss our thoughts on the World Cup of Soccer/Football and how it compares to the events that we love. Tariq talks about going to watch a World Cup match live in 2002 and Jim talks about watching a league game in Europe. But none of that holds a candle to what was on display in this week’s match. If you have ever questioned whether wrestlers were truly athletes, this is...

RVD wins the ECW TV title and all three of us were there live in attendance at the Burt Flickinger Arena in downtown Buffalo NY. Tariq talks about his strong dislike of RVD matches and why he thinks that Raven stole Mike’s gimmick, this breakdown makes it difficult for Jim to keep it together. The three of us recall our thoughts of the match at that time and then reflect on how good this match actually was by today’s standards. The retrospective examination of this match really ruined it for...

December 24, 2022 01:00 - 42 minutes - 39.4 MB

This episode starts off with a rough translation of our Mac World segment from Episode 61. Following that we get into our memories of the first exploding bomb matches we ever saw and a good internet list of the greatest bomb matches ever. This week’s bomb match classic has plenty of intrigue, story telling and drama but the highlight of this match has to be how absurdly far Mr. Pogo took things in this match.

In this week’s intro you will get to know all about Jim and Tariq’s favorite childhood cartoons. In somewhat of a big surprise, Tariq puts a cartoon on his list that Jim totally buries. Is Tariq able to get Jim to change his opinion after his justification? The reason for this week's intro is that this is the first time that we have featured a real life character in one of our matches.

Who are the greatest wrestlers to have never had a match in the WWF/WWE or WWWF? This week “internet bullshit” answers this question with a list that we, surprisingly, largely agree with. This week’s match is an incredibly famous historical cage match from Starrcade 1985 but Tariq has a ton of reasons to explain why you should not waste your time watching this match. In addition, although Scott Bakula isn’t on this episode Jim loses it when we talk about the show that made him famous. --- ...

This week we discuss, at length, a TV show that gave Masahiro Chono mainstream exposure and why he stole that show. The match this week features a rather unusual one from the Tokyo Dome where Chono takes on Chyna who was freshly released from the WWE following a bizarre set of circumstances.
