Taking Liberties Pro Wrestling Podcast

Welcome back! This week's iMPACT! was the go home show to Victory Road 2006, so look forward to that review next week. We also put a pin in Tiger Mask W for the immediate future as we take a look at Tiger Mask vs Yellow Devil himself...

Welcome back! TNA was a show as ever this week but it certainly wasn't awful. This episode may be crucial evidence in the case of whether or not iMPACT was a better product than WWE. Definitely not.

Welcome back! Slammiversary is upon us and it's just another TNA PPV extravaganza. Total Divas was entertaining albeit frustrating to watch but that's what's appealing about it right? We continue to truck along towards the 100 episode milestone and it approaches faster and faster. Pretty scary stuff.

Welcome back! We get the illustrious opportunity to review yet another episode of mid-PACT where not a whole lot of shit happens, but we will see Kevin Nash debut in the X-Division next week, and that is pretty cool. We also take a look at some old AWA where Tom Zenk looks like a beast and Greg Gagne looks like a geek.

Welcome back! TNA was average at best this week, nothing special. Steve Austin and Sami Zayn on the other hand have some immaculate chemistry and it was a pleasure for us boys to enjoy an hour and a half of those two GOATs.

Welcome back! TNA continues to provide us reasons to hate reviewing their shows. I just wish they'd try harder with the roster they have.

Welcome back! This time around we get to take a look at a relatively boring TNA ppv, my goodness, I don't know why they insist of filling the whole three hours. It's abysmal. On another note: we take a look at some mind games played by the Rock which results in the McMahon's losing their sanity on this episode of SmackDown!

Welcome back! This episode we actually see a fairly decent episode of TNA this week, except sike, it was a go-home show so it was trash. However, we did give TNA the props they were due, but you'll have to listen to find out where. We also have a pretty good round of the TL Would You Rather Go Fuck Yourself or Something or Other, Yeah segment, and we take another look into the story of Tiger Mask.

Welcome back! If you like breasts, this episode is for you. Between TNA and Total Divas us boys were attacked and defiled by the sheer amount of booba in this week's reviews.

Welcome back! This week we have a guest return as our boy Nick comes back to the show and you get to hear this four-man booth just absolutely wreck TNA's shit.

Welcome back! Thank you for joining us again this week where we get a chance to talk about a very rather abysmal viewing of iMPACT! It was truly disappointing, and two-thirds of us had forgotten that it was supposed to be a go-home show so I think that should say plenty. We also get a chance to talk about some old wrestling that we tend to enjoy. Nice and simple. And for a little extra listening, you get to hear Andrew and Marquis talk about their start of pro wrestling training.

Welcome back! This week we get a chance to talk about the fact that iMPACT! honestly wasn't that bad of a show, which means, they've fucked it. It's all downhill from here. Christian is a piece a shit, Jeff Jarrett is scared of Sting, Samoa Joe vs Christopher Daniels definitely happened, and we got some false advertising. We also get a chance to share our rather candid thoughts on one CM Punk and the goings on of AEW. It's... not looking great. Thankfully, Tiger Mask was sick as always and we move ever closer to Naoto doing the damn thing.

Welcome back! On this episode we get a chance to talk about a rather mid episode of iMPACT! where we get to see a rematch from last year's Lockdown with Abyss vs AJ Styles, we see commentary slightly dick on Simon Diamond, we get SUPERMEX, and something about Slick Johnson and some new TNA management bullshit. Oh, and Sting cuts a long as promo too. On to better news, we get to see the boy, our savior, our God-King Cody Rhodes have a sit-down with Steve Austin and goddamn, pal, I'm biting my lip just thinking about it. Seriously, though, it was a really good episode in which they talk about the Rhodes family being poor at one point, Cody hating Stardust, and AEW. Which we bury.

Welcome back! We reviewed another middling episode of iMPACT! this week where again, for some reason, Norman Smiley was there but we all like Norman here so it's fine. Also, this Abyss “push” that's allegedly going on sucks several bags of ass and we can only imagine how they're gonna fuck it up more. We also reviewed a classic show from the infancy of our boy Max's wrestling fandom in which Paige debuted, we saw the spitting images and antithesis of Vince's wet dreams, and Daniel Bryan is super over.

Welcome back! This review of TNA Destination X 2006 went by much MUCH faster than we anticipated. As it turns out, this show wasn't incredibly inspired.

Welcome back! This week on the show we review an episode of iMPACT! so forgettable that had ⅔ of us not taken notes this week then there probably may not have been a review for that show. At the very least not a comprehensible one. However, we were saved! Monday Night Raw came through when we needed it most and my goodness was it a show. Chris Jericho vs. Big Show, Santino Marella hating boobies, Playboy models, and loving Subway, and we also get the glorious John Cena and Randy Orton vs. the "entire" Raw roster.

Welcome back! This time around you all get to hear us dissect Against All Odds, and the show was about just as terrible as a dissection so I'd say it works out pretty well. We get Abyss vs Rhino (AGAIN), another triple threat between Daniels, Styles, and Joe, and we get a new world champion! But onto something that actually interested us, this AWA show was great. Shawn Michaels, Curt Hennig, Baron Von Raschke, Afa, Jerry Lawler, and many more big names were on this show and goddammit pal, was it some good ol' fashion pro wrasslin'. They really don't do wrestling like they used to. But you can hear us gush about that yourselves.

Welcome back! This week we got to review an episode of iMPACT! that wasn't the worst episode of wrestling that we've ever seen this week, so I'd say it was a pretty good episode given. Granted, I can't remember jack shit about it, but honestly, does it even matter? We also have to watch a PPV soon which I'm very much not looking forward to. Anyway. we also got to review some puroresu this week and it was sick. Pretty good card from top to bottom and I'm glad that we decided to watch, and thank you Drew for the recommendation.

Welcome back! On this rendition of TL we get to hear the plot thicken a bit. And by that, obviously I mean that conspiracy lore that we've been working on because goodness knows that TNA aren't gonna come up with something themselves to keep us entertained. We also check out an old episode of Smoky Mountain, and I gotta say, I (Marquis) really, really enjoyed the show. Probably top 10 things that I've enjoyed as a watch because sometimes I just like some good old fashioned wrasslin', but I would understand if that sort of thing isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Welcome back! On this rousing episode of TL, we got a chance to review, and unfortunately, subject our homie to a rather mundane and nonsensical episode of iMPACT! Not to say that the overwhelming majority of shows from this time aren't that, but this one was especially egregious. But we're reviewing another episode of UWF so you all know that can only mean one thing, and that one thing is that our boy Thief is back!

Welcome back! This week we review another run-of-the-mill episode of iMPACT! with entirely too many tag matches and so much shit that just doesn't make sense. Also, Christian Cage won't let you forget that he's got homophobic tendencies and is just an asshole for no reason despite being the second biggest babyface in the company. At the behest of our boy Max we also got to see John Cena vs Bryan Danielson from that match, and ya know what? It was better than it probably should've been and they did way more stuff than expected. Earnest "The Cat" Miller is also a menace that was truly just chatting shit.

Welcome back! Boy, oh boy do you we have a show for you mighty fine folks this time around. First thing's first: iMPACT was so ass. It simply was not an enjoyable watch this week and we're really hoping that things pick up in 2006. We also get a chance to review a very fucked up episode of WWE Raw from 2002 and it was honestly the best possible choice that could've been made for our final main event of season one. From voyeur Goldust to JR and King being perverts, to Tommy Dreamer being a fucking weirdo, it was all we could've asked for. Also, on our last show of season one, we have decided to do the first-ever Liberty Awards! Find out who won these completely arbitrary prizes that we came up with the day before.

Welcome back! This time around we watched a fucking awful episode of TNA. Like, this episode genuinely might be one of the least interesting, nothing happening episode of iMPACT since we started. HOWEVER, this episode of Total Divas is legendary. It's the wonderful episode with lumberjack Bryan Danielson and Eva not being able to dance for shit. Truly great stuff.

Welcome back! As this is the episode following up a TNA PPV then you all better believe that we have a whole lot of shit to say about, however, if you think that those comments will be positive then I have no idea how you managed to make it to episode 57. Aside from a pretty shitty episode of iMPACT!, we get to hear but sexy dad cool guy Kevin Nash just go on about his career and his life, and it was honestly the most enjoyable hour and twenty-two minutes that any of the three of us could've been subject to, and goddamn did Kevin Nash just know how to pop the boys.

Welcome back! On this wonderful episode of TL, you all get to hear us rant and rave about the final TNA PPV of the year, and holy shit has it been a journey just getting to this point in the goddamn year. We unfortunately had to sit through things like Abyss and Sabu in a barbed wire ring match and Monty Brown getting jabroni'd which is never fun. On a more positive note this episode of Heat kick so much ass. It was breakneck speed from the very beginning and damn was it an adventure.

Welcome back! Man, we are just constantly doing new things on this podcast all in service of you, the people. This week on the show we take a gander at a very mid episode of TNA, as well as an almost equally mid NXT episode that was at the request of our boy who is still learning the ropes, so he'll get a pass this time.

Thankfully, I (Marquis) got to miss most of that nonsense, but you'll hear all about that. Oh, and since I forgot to mention in the episode, this TNA PPV did 35,000 buys and brought in $45,000.

A shame, really. So you get to hear us crap on that, struggle with 20 questions, and review the one thing we've all been waiting for: DPW Fire!
