On this edition of Parallax Views, the biggest wrestling event of the year is only days away: WrestleMania. Billed as the "Showcase of the Immortals," WrestleMania is the marquee event of World Wrestling Entertainment and has been going strong for over 40 years. On April 19th and 20th, WWE will present WrestleMania 41. Yes—FORTY-ONE. Ahead of the big event, I spoke with Gary from the YouTube channel Grapplevision—one of the most unique and compelling voices in pro wrestling media today. While most wrestling YouTubers focus on current events or canonical moments like the Montreal Screwjob, Hulk Hogan's heel turn, or Mick Foley's infamous fall off the Hell in a Cell, Grapplevision dives into the ghosts and glitches of wrestling history. It's a channel immersed in what you might call phantom histories: forgotten figures, obscure promotions, uncanny storylines, and the lingering specters of wrestling's carny roots. What sets Grapplevision apart is its unmistakably hauntological aesthetic—think VHS degradation, lost tapes, and late-night public access weirdness. The channel's documentaries are layered with analog textures and deep archival digs, evoking the era of tape trading and underground fandom. In many ways, it feels less like a recap or explainer and more like a séance conducted with a turnbuckle and a cathode-ray screen. From the blurred lines of shoot vs. worked fights (explored in the "Wrestling Gets Real" series), to Japanese deathmatch icon Atsushi Onita's exploding barbed wire spectacles, to strange pop culture crossovers featuring Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, and Jim Varney's Ernest P. Worrell—Grapplevision chronicles the strange, forgotten, and surreal corners of the squared circle. All this with an intro that cheekily nods to David Cronenberg's Videodrome. In this sprawling, four-and-a-half-hour conversation, you'll hear from someone who's not only been inside the industry but has also taken on the role of archivist and cultural historian. Even if you're not a wrestling fan, there's something here for anyone interested in performance, memory, mythology, and media.

Strap in for The Sweet Chinwag's first gameshow episode! We could've done a retrospective on Atsushi Onita, but the man has had such a crazy life that we felt that the form of telling truths and lies was the best way to do the man justice. So Sam is hosting and Dan & Riordan are the contestants. This one is going to be a silly one. Oh and we have some wrestling news too!

We take a stab at untangling and demystifying the ultra-violent exploding barbed wire deathmatch. In our most explosive episode yet, Headmaster Michael (he/him) and Homecoming King Samee (they/them) remove the ring ropes and replace them with barbed wire to get deeper into exploding barbed wire deathmatches.  Atsushi Onita, founder of Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling (FMW), created exploding barbed wire deathmatches, thus providing us with the most intense, scary match stipulations in professional wrestling.  30 years after this type of match debuts, Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley clash in a ring surrounded by barbed wire and explosives.  Matches watched/mentioned: Continental Wrestling Association | September 4th, 1981 |  Tupelo Concession Stand Brawl 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ILpoJzDg8c&t=0s  Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling | Summer Spectacular | August 4, 1990  Tarzan Goto and Atsushi Onita, the first ever exploding barbed wire death match FMW Genten, 4th Anniversary Show | May 5th, 1993  Terry Funk Vs.

One night. One cage. Zero WarGames. 500 matches. Yeah, this one was a bit rough to watch. Damn near every single match had a jumpstart, an afterbirth, and was heavily overbooked. Crowds for WCW were severely dwindling by this point, there was speculation over a sale for WCW, leadership was in disarray, and the whole thing was just a giant mess. Booker T at least got to defend his WCW Title against Kevin Nash in a fairly straight-forward Caged Heat match (which was literally just a cage match) to close the show and Goldberg and Scott Steiner fooled us for a minute into thinking they'd have a good match. In the news, we discuss ECW's continuing woes, someone suing Paul Heyman and RVD, WCW's backstage drama with Turner, WWF soaring in the ratings, a new fake retirement scheme for Atsushi Onita in FMW, some new wrestling promotions cropping up in America and Japan, and much more!

Kris and David are guestless as we discuss the week that was April 12-18, 1999.We start off by talking about Davey Boy Smith, as this was when he was stuck in a Calgary hospital in severe pain from a spinal infection and got fired by WCW. We talk about all the issues that he had leading up to this and what his future held.From there, we go to WCW proper for a wild week with a very newsworthy Nitro full of big matches and angles then a Thunder that was appropriately Thunder-esque. We also have all the wild drama that is par for the course in WCW in this era, featuring Arn Anderson having a pretty rough week, Eric Bischoff speaking on WCW Live, bad morale in the company and so much more.International is next, as Vader wins the Champion Carnival tournament in AJPW, Atsushi Onita goes back to school, Yuki Kondo becomes the King of Pancrase, and tons more.Then we go back to the United Status, where Paul Heyman speaks to the Torch about ECW's mounting financial issues while they are actually doing some decent house show business and producing some solid TV, plus news on TNN picking up a wrestling show, Randy Hales baring his soul on Memphis TV, and lots more.We then close with the WWF, as they make some roster cuts (sort of), and we go over why that is happening despite the record business they were doing at the time, plus a crazy episode of Monday Night Raw, Steve Austin being hit by a car (in real life), interesting quotes from members of company management in Raw Magazine, and a show-closing news item that is almost surely the most ominous closer in BTS history.This is a slam-packed show here, folks, so you definitely don't want to miss this!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 Davey Boy Smith0:23:29 WCW1:49:41 Japan: AJPW, NJPW, Atsushi Onita, BattlARTS, CAPTURE, IWA Japan, Pancrase, Arsion, & JWP2:24:19 Classic Commercial Break2:29:18 Halftime2:59:26 Latin America: AAA, CMLL, Tijuana, & WWC3:09:29 Other USA: NWA, ISPW, ECWA, ECW, TNN, Power Pro, MAW, Tor Berg/WNWA, & Portland3:46:09 WWF5:35:15 Patreon Preview: Owen Hart has zero fucks to give in his comments about Mike TysonTo support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.

Kris & David are guestless as we discuss the week that was August 17-23, 2001.We start the show with the WWF, where we talk about their problems with DirecTV (which lasted several months) before pivoting into SummerSlam 2001, where we talk about the good and the bad from the second PPV show of the WCW/ECW invasion. We then go to Raw & Smackdown, including "Stone Cold" Steve Austin Appreciation Night and Kurt Angle's reaction to it, plus so much more.Then we go to Japan, where we talk about Kazuyuki Fujita getting a hatchet wound cut into his forehead by a Mirko Cro Cop knee at K-1's Andy Hug Memorial Show and how that changed both of their careers as well as New Japan in general, along with the tragic stroke suffered by Brian Johnston at that show. We also go over all the other news in Japan before going to Mexico, where we talk about a very solid scene at that time where everyone was doing well.Then we come back to the U.S., where we talk about the Spanish Announce Team getting fired from CZW for interesting reasons, Steve Corino being the NWA Champion and getting mysteriously buried in the Observer again, Stacy Carter divorcing Jerry Lawler, a loaded California indie scene, and lots more.2001 is always fun to talk about, and we had a blast doing this show, so we hope that you have the same experience as you listen!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 WWF2:10:33 Classic Commercial Break2:15:16 Halftime2:30:18 Asia-Pacific: K-1, DEEP, AJPW, BattlARTS, BJPW, Michinoku Pro, Osaka Pro, Atsushi Onita, Seikendo, Toryumon, AJPW, Arsion, GAEA, Jd', JWP, NEO Ladies, & Vince Russo's secret Australian tour3:40:03 Latin America: AAA, CMLL, IWRG, Monterrey, Tijuana, & IWAPR3:56:01 Other USA: MECW, NWANJ, SAT drama, CZW, JAPW, NWA Wildside, Sid sues AOL, Howard Brody, Pillman Memorial shows, IWAMS, Prentice's USA, Memphis, Stacy Carter, Steel Domain, Rev Pro, UPW, APW, WOW Magazine, USA Network, & UrbanWA5:06:29 Patreon Preview: Cheryl Vasquez's Titangate-inspired protest outside a WWF house show in PoughkeepsieTo support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.
