The Intercontinental Title hot potato between Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit, culminating in a Submission match. X-Pac and Road Dogg, still being confused for main eventers, take on the Dudley Boys in a table match and need Gerald Brisco's help to gain a victory. The Rock and Triple H face off in an Iron Man match, with Shawn Michaels and his booty shorts refereeing.  The psychology of the Iron Man match and how it stacks up against previous Iron Man matches.   The Undertaker returns and looks a bit different.  KId Rock lending the Undertaker his new theme music, his performance on Raw and Cindy learning about Joe C. All this and much more. Enjoy!

IRVIN MUCHNICK is author, most recently, of CONCUSSION INC: The End of Football As We Know It — his third book. He is a widely published journalist whose work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Sports Illustrated, People, and many other major magazines and newspapers. He has been interviewed on forums as diverse as Fox News' O'Reilly Factor and National Public Radio's Fresh Air with Terry Gross.In 2007, Irv published WRESTLING BABYLON: Piledriving Tales of Drugs, Sex, Death, and Scandal – a collection of his writings on pro wrestling behind the scenes. Soon thereafter, the sensational double murder/suicide of World Wrestling Entertainment's Chris Benoit brought WRESTLING BABYLON to the attention of Congressional investigators and led to the true-crime book CHRIS & NANCY: The True Story of the Benoit Murder-Suicide and Pro Wrestling's Cocktail of Death, published in 2009. Irv's books and blog writings moved to the center of scrutiny of WWE co-founder and former chief executive Linda McMahon's unsuccessful 2010 U.S. Senate candidacy in Connecticut on the Republican ticket.Over the last four years, Irv's work has helped elevate the story of widespread traumatic brain injury and its consequences for National Football League players and other professional and amateur athletes. His reporting has identified Dr. Joseph Maroon – medical director of WWE, team neurosurgeon for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and a widely quoted NFL consultant – as being among the key figures in manipulating research that was slow to identify and take seriously evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy. In the process, the $10-billion-a-year pro football industry was protected and NFL-affiliated doctors profited. The newest developments, including the suicide of retired player and NFL Players Association leader Dave Duerson, and the bargaining impasse between the NFL and the NFLPA, have increased public interest not just in the science of head injuries but also in how it is marketed by America's most popular sport, from the NFL level all the way down to the peewee leagues.Irvin Muchnick, who was assistant director of the National Writers Union from 1994 to 1997 and later a copyright litigation consultant, also is lead respondent of the landmark 2010 Supreme Court case Reed Elsevier v.

En este impactante episodio especial de Último Hombre En Pie, nos adentramos en uno de los capítulos más oscuros y devastadores de la historia del wrestling profesional: el crimen cometido por Chris Benoit en junio de 2007. Bajo la sección 'Escándalos en el wrestling', analizamos con profundidad el trágico suceso que no solo acabó con la vida del propio Benoit, su esposa Nancy y su hijo Daniel, sino que también dejó una cicatriz imborrable en la industria de la lucha libre. Chris Benoit no era cualquier luchador. Conocido como The Rabid Wolverine, fue un referente técnico dentro del cuadrilátero y un favorito de fanáticos por su intensidad, entrega y calidad en el ring. Campeón mundial en WWE, protagonista de WrestleMania y miembro del legendario grupo The Four Horsemen en WCW, Benoit fue respetado por compañeros y aficionados por igual. Sin embargo, esa imagen pública se rompió de forma brutal cuando se revelaron los detalles del trágico crimen ocurrido durante un fin de semana en su casa de Georgia. A lo largo del episodio, reconstruimos los hechos con precisión y respeto. Desde los primeros reportes de la ausencia de Benoit en eventos de WWE, hasta la estremecedora noticia de que había asesinado a su esposa y a su hijo antes de quitarse la vida. Exploramos las teorías que circularon en su momento, las inconsistencias iniciales y el desconcierto que generó el caso tanto en la empresa como en la audiencia global. Nos detenemos también en las posibles causas detrás de esta tragedia: los problemas mentales derivados de múltiples conmociones cerebrales, el consumo de esteroides, el aislamiento progresivo de Benoit, y los indicios de daño cerebral severo revelados en la autopsia. Todo ello nos lleva a reflexionar sobre la falta de conciencia en la industria respecto a la salud mental y física de los luchadores, así como las consecuencias de un estilo de lucha brutal mantenido durante años. En este episodio repasamos cómo reaccionó WWE ante el escándalo: desde el homenaje inicial en televisión, hasta el corte definitivo de toda mención a Benoit en la programación, los archivos y el Hall of Fame. Analizamos cómo este suceso obligó a la empresa a cambiar sus políticas sobre bienestar del talento, introduciendo el programa de salud y pruebas de impacto cerebral. También vemos cómo afectó al periodismo, a los fans y a las familias involucradas, con especial atención al papel de Nancy Benoit y su legado como valet y manager reconocida en los 80 y 90. Este episodio no busca glorificar ni justificar, sino entender un hecho que cambió para siempre la historia del wrestling. Un relato incómodo pero necesario. Porque detrás de la lucha libre, de sus luces y ovaciones, también hay sombras. Y conocerlas es parte de comprender lo que realmente ocurre más allá de las cuerdas. Y esto es Último Hombre En Pie, un podcast diario de lucha libre. O de Pressing Catch. O de cachascán. Un podcast diario de wrestling y viceversa.

It's an explosive situation with a twist ending that honestly everyone could probably have seen coming.Plus we've got the original Triangle Ladder Match with The Dudley Boyz, The Hardy Boyz, and Edge & Christian. Plus Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental and European Championships. And lots of tag matches.Plus we discuss this weekend's Wrestlemania XLI show, the rest of the shows taking place this weekend and weekend, and preview AEW's Spring Break Thru show.

En esta ocasión, nos acompaña Chucho Calderón, host de La Zona Cero. Acompáñanos a sumergirnos en los enigmáticos y oscuros casos de Michael John Kricfalusi, el animador canadiense creador de Ren & Stimpy, cuyo legado está marcado por secretos inquietantes; Blake Leibel, quien convirtió sus escalofriantes cómics de terror en una aterradora realidad; y el caso de Chris Benoit, un luchador profesional canadiense cuya prometedora carrera en la WWE se vio trágicamente interrumpida, cambiando para siempre la historia del deporte. Después de ese día fatídico, nada fue igual.

With WrestleMania upon us, the guys are excited to celebrate by choosing a match from the event that holds special significance for them. Will has selected the unforgettable triple threat main event featuring Chris Benoit, Triple H (the reigning champion), and Shawn Michaels. This thrilling clash took place at WrestleMania 20 and is remembered for its intense storytelling and emotional high stakes, showcasing the incredible athleticism and talent of all three competitors.

Ryan and Cindy reach the Granddaddy of them all, WrestleMania 2000. Before getting there though we look at the Rock's first stint of hosting SNL, and his special guests at the show. We then go to an eventful Raw in Chicago, where most of the WrestleMania card is set up. We have a lengthy discussion of the WWF Aggression CD, before heading to the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim. Further topics discussed: Ice-T adding a little importance to an uneventful opener.  The run of the 24/7 Hardcore title and a fun garbage brawl.  Another nothing happening tag match between the new T&A, Trish Stratus (or her new team of Test and Albert) The pinnacle of the WWF Tag Team division in 2000 as we get the first (of more to come?) Triangle Tag Team Ladder match A bit of a cool down with Kat and Terri Eddie Guerrero being elevated as Latino Heat Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho getting 15 minutes Pete Rose making his third WrestleMania appearance  A long, long, long main event, featuring a short Big Show appearance, a slightly out of shape Mick Foley coming up short and who cares about the Rock and Triple H, WE HAVE A MCMAHON IN EVERY CORNER!

In this double feature, the guys got together to honor both Michelle Trachtenberg and Gene Hackman who both passed away late February. Michell Trachtenberg who is mostly known for her roles as Harriet the Spy, Dawn Summers from Buffy, Georgina Sparks in Gossip Girl and of course, Jenny from Eurotrip. Gene Hackman who is known for so many things, but possibly most notably as Lex Luthor in the Christopher Reeve's Superman films. Not to mention the two movies he won an Oscar for The French Connection (Best Actor) and Unforgiven (Best Supporting Actor).Come enjoy a fun step back in time as the guys talk about two comedies that honestly have nothing to do with each other! One is raunchy, wild, and possibly has given us one of the greatest songs of the Millennial Generation, while the other takes inspiration (very loosely) from real events in the NFL while providing us with some Football Shenanigan's. The real questions are...why are the guys talking about Chris Benoit? Why are Mike and Corey in such a heated debate? And seriously...why doesn't Scotty know?Click here to send us a message!

Chris Benoit known as the Canadian Crippler or the Rabid Wolverine was a WWE star in the 22nd year of a storied career. He was known to be a wrestler's wrestler- one of the most technically proficient athletes among the corps of actors and performers. Chris Jericho once said Chris Benoit was the “most intense and believable performer I've ever been in the ring with. He could see things that were going to happen before they happened.” Chris won many heavyweight and tag team championships, and he'd made a lot of money doing it. He was doing exactly what he'd wanted to do for his entire life- since he was 3-years-old. His friends and colleagues all knew him to be a respectful, reserved and polite family man. So, it came as quite a shock to everybody when he and his family were found dead under suspicious circumstances, in their sprawling Fayetteville, Georgia home. This is the story of a woman, her child, and to some extent, a man, who were failed by the very institution that should have protected them.The question on everyone's mind…could the tragedy have been prevented?Become a Partner in Crime for $5 a month.Today's snack: Orange Julius and Skittles Pop'd
