February 28, 2023 21:22 - 1 hour - 70.5 MBOur rewind series comes to a close with the match that sits atop the STAR rating board. We are of course talking about the final episode from season 3, Kazuchika Okada with Gedo vs Kenny Omega with the Brothers Jackson for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. The match that famously caused Big Dave to turn that star dial all the way to six for the first time in a long time and collectively melted the minds of every fan watching Wrestle Kingdom 11. We want to thank you once again for join...
TIA Rewind - Season 9 - Pete Dunne vs Tyler Bate
February 07, 2023 19:19 - 2 hours - 107 MBOur TIA Rewind series is nearly over as we look back to the very first episode of the accursed season 9 of This is Awesome and one of the best matches in the history of the original NXT.

It is wild that both of these guys put on this kind of display considering how young they both w...
TIA Rewind - Season 5 - Buddy Rogers vs Pat O'Connor

"Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers takes on champion Pat O'Connor. Don't let the black and white or the fact that this match is from 1961 but feels like it is from 1941 - this is practically a Cover Girl match. If you skipped it the first time we released this don't make same mistake twice. Incredibly watchable even 60+ years later. And...
TIA Rewind - Season 4 - The 2008 Royal Rumble
January 24, 2023 20:58 - 1 hour - 68 MBCan a match that is over an hour long be defined by a single moment? If this entry in our TIA Rewind series is to judge, the answer is absolutely not. From all the way back in season 4 of TIA, this is the 2008 Royal Rumble match. A fun episode that explores what makes a great rumble match, and why. Two major milestones for our (*patent pending) STAR rating system - not only is our very first zero given by one of our guests, but this match also has the distinction of being the lowest rate...

January 05, 2023 00:33 - 2 hours - 92.1 MBThis rewind takes us back to the height of our pandemic-era sessions that saw at least one of our cohosts recording most of the episodes in a closet. Today we are flashing back to season 8 and the Risa Sera 60 minute Iron Woman gauntlet death match that also happens to double as our main star's birthday present to herself. While much more tame than our previous deathmatch flashback, this one still carries a minor content warning, especially for those of you who are squeemish about the cons...

Enjoy one of our favorite episodes from our first season of podcasting, 2016 vintage. [Ra...
