Three friends gather on an irregular basis to casually discuss and dissect simulated violence as storytelling in its many forms around the world. WWE, NJPW, PWG, Lucha Underground, Stardom, ROH, CMLL, and whatever else catches our fancy. It ain't ballet, but it is amazing, stupid, hilarious, weird,…

“It is all a Dream, a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you.

See you in the next territory, fellow marks!
Five whole stars worth of Grand Prix action in Stardom! NJPW proceeds to destroy us all! We give our impressions on the now concluded Mae Young Classic! And so much more, mother fucker!
Shortly after recording the last episode, AAA's big yearly show, Triplemania, happened. Many called it one of the worst pro wrestling shows of all time. Maya and Stevo watched it.
G1 Climax 27. The fucking G1. So good. Our favorite matches, MVPs, the death and rebirth of Daryl, the emotional return of Shibata, and more! We also cover all the dumb shit that happened at Summerslam, NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III, new developments from the Mae Young Classic, and a ton of other news from the world of wrestling!

Stardom's Cinderella Tournament, and the dreams within the heart of its winner! The Young Bucks book shit from their YouTube channel way better than Ring of Honor!

Recorded LIVE during the #OctagonKingdom, half-dead and running on fumes, our most reasonably-sized episode yet!
Wrestle Kingdom 11. Ethical wrestling consumption under fascism. Twitter beef. Sandwich chat. The hot new heel stable: Bullet Gun. Minoru Suzuki as an assassin sent to kill Vince McMahon. The longest boy I ever did see. Dustin Rhodes' great burden. The Royal Rumble. Would you smoke weed with Necro Butcher? They put Chris Jericho in a shark cage. FBI, all of this is a joke.
Well, it sure has been a year. Lotta good stuff, lotta bad stuff. Also, there was wrestling.
BOLA 2016. It made us laugh. It made us cry. It made us wonder what kind of training they're doing in the New Japan Dojo.
Guys, there's a LOT of wrestling to cover.
Maya and Stevo are off them gimmicks, and Toben tries his best to maintain order as we discuss Lucha Underground's approaching season finale, NJPW's continuing tournament season, and where all our favorite indie stars are headed next.

Too much cast for one pod, in part 1 we talk about Wrestlemania and other WWE-related junk.
Who booked the new guy to go over? We talk about Lucha Underground, PWG, NJPW… and WWE, I guess.
Joined by special guest Steve-O, we have seen Wrestle Kingdom 10, and have found some light in it, while we can.
Somehow still living, amongst the smoldering wasteland of professional wrestling.
Nothing feels good, everything is dying.
Battleground, Dominion ver. 7.5, what the hell is GFW, and the American Dream.
Payback, Elimination Chamber, ROH / NJPW War of the Worlds, and Dixie Carter's living nightmare.
Extreme Rules, injury watch 2015, Joshi, and anything else Pentagon Jr. can sacrifice to his dark master.
Pro-wrestling as a whole will be better off when the Big Show is gone.
If you wanna see us discuss the looming specter of Wrestlemania, former head coaches, and actual good wrestling, can we get a hell yeah?!
After a mandatory cooling off period, ClobberCast tackles the Royal Rumble and BOY ARE WE STILL FIRED UP AND/OR APATHETIC.
Leading up to the first PPV of 2015, the Royal Rumble, and the beginning of the road to Wrestlemania, Toben and Maya assemble some thoughts and predictions on what might emerge from within that squared circle.
Enough grumbling! It's time to get the rundown on which wrestling things warmed our hearts over the past month.
Seriously, what are the rules for a flag match?
