Want a shout out on the show? Shoot us a text and share your thoughts, game suggestions, etc.!This week, Lou and I jump off the top rope and into the wonderfully weird world of WrestleMania: The Arcade Game—Midway's over-the-top, digitized brawler that mashed Mortal Kombat with the WWF's New Generation Era.But that's not all. This episode is a bit of a wrestling grab bag (hey, I'm still getting over a cold, cut me some slack!):
Sometimes in life, good things come to an end. On that note, today marks the 31st anniversary of Wrestlemania 10, where the culmination of the Lex Express came to a crashing end thanks to the Bret Hart Conspiracy train. Anchored by your main pal E of Nattering With E, I'm joined today by the legendary Peapod of Ruthless Pro Wrestling, to recap Lex's final obstacle at Wrestlemania 10. We also broke down both of RPW's joint shows with SVN and realized maybe our beloved Cagematch isn't as accurate as you thought. Lastly, we hypothesize about why two death match legends, Nick Gage and Masada can't be friends. As always, support our local distributor, Visionaries Global Media, where you can get your podcasts.

The Big Five Project returns here on Episode 293. It's the Attitude Of Aggression and it is time to return for another installment in the chronological analysis, review, and discussion about WWE's Big Five PPVs/ Premium Live Events. On this Episode, the guys cover Summer Slam '93. Hulkamania is officially dead, and Vince McMahon looked to Lex Luger to be the next big thing. He would not have quite the success he hoped for.... but we are jumping aboard The Lex Express on this Episode anyway. Summer Slam' 93 featured some good matches and great moments, but it largely fell flat. Anchored by the face turns of Razor Ramon and Lex Luger, we also got an underwhelming dream match between Shawn Michaels and Mr. Perfect. Bret Hart continued to really make a name for himself in his match against Jerry Lawler and The Undertaker finally laid the Giant Gonzales to rest. While certainly not the best PPV of 1993, Summer Slam '93 still had its share of key moments that would propel us forward for the rest of 1993 and into 1994. The guys have all the details for you here on another epic edition of the Big Five Project!About the Chairshot Radio NetworkCreated in 2017, the Chairshot Radio Network presents you with the best in wrestling and wrestling crossover podcasts, including POD is WAR, Women's Wrestling Talk, Chairshot Radio daily editions, The #Miranda Show, Badlands' Wrestling Mount Rushmores, The Outsider's Edge, DWI Podcast, Bandwagon Nerds, the Greg DeMarco Show, 3 Man Weave, Five Rounds, Turnbuckle Talk, The Reaction and more!

This week Rob invites three random co-hosts aboard the Lex Express for 100 minutes of unlistenable drivel, also known as the best podcast about James Taylor and the 182nd greatest album of all time, Sweet Baby James. But lo and behold before we get to the music we earn our two stars by reliving our best moments from the best podcast about Portishead. We also discuss martial arts, finding the perfect pants, and the best things to do in Savannah, Georgia. In memoriam of the Academy Awards, we also break down Air Bud II. Then at (1:04:00) we provide the exact opposite of a deep dive analysis of James Taylor's 1970 album, Sweet Baby James. We discuss James Taylor's songwriting, titular tracks, and the best musical cameos in the Simpsons. Alright, next week you're going to get a jonz in your bonz when we become the best D'Angelo podcast and discuss his debut studio album, Brown Sugar. If you like this episode please give us a 2-star review.
This week we're taking the Lex Express time machine back to the July 26 1993 episode of Superstars and the July 28 1993 episode of Monday Night Raw. We see Hacksaw Jim Duggan's last appearance on Superstars, we have some Jack Tunney telegrams, there's a Lex Express check in, Money Inc vs. Steiners yet again, Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Bret Hart with some some elder bullying on the side, Doink, Macho Boy and more.
The Tiny Tim Incident with Jerry Lawler. The Lex Express with Lex Luger. The never ending Money Inc. Steiner Brothers Feud. The top rated WWF match of the year featuring Marty Jannetty and Shawn Michaels. We have a lot to talk about.

Solomonster talks about the new details we've learned, why those NDAs may not be worth the paper they're printed on and the laughably delusional claim that Laurinaitis is now making. CM Punk is also OUT of Wrestlemania and it's wreaking havoc on the card, but not as much as what we saw on Smackdown... one of the BIGGEST CREATIVE BLUNDERS in WWE history with The Rock, Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. He's HEATED about this even moreso now than he was on Friday night and has a LOT to say about the situation, why it happened, why Triple H should be PARANOID right now, the one thing that makes him think there COULD BE a swerve involved and the ways they can still fix the mistake they made. PLUS... the AEW Rankings are out and are exactly what he feared they would be... Mick Foley has something TERRIBLE in mind for his 60th birthday... the big free agent that WWE or AEW should pick up, and why they may be resistant to do so... and YOUR QUESTIONS about all things Rock/Roman/Cody, why WWE has a music problem and more.

This week we're discussing the July 10, 1993 episode of Superstars and the July 12, 1993 episode of Monday Night Raw - both featuring Crush in the main event. Crush vs. Doink, Crush vs. Yokozuna, ultimately Crush is crushed and Macho Man Randy Savage goes to the rescue. We're gearing up towards Summerslam and we get some Jerry Lawler/Bret Hart promos and of course some Lex Express anticipation.
We're very lucky this week to bring you a deep dive of WCW Fall Brawl: War Games 1993. Lucky because it was the PPV debut of The Shockmaster. Lucky because we get to hear how The Shockmaster debuted in WCW on Clash of the Champions in August 1993 (Lex Express eat your heart out) and lucky enough to hear Dusty Rhodes talking about it on the Legends of Wrestling Roundtable during the WWE 24/7 days. Yes, we're very lucky. Oh, there was other stuff on this show, too.

He's got news on all of them, including the crazy cliffhanger at the end of Raw with Dexter Lumis, the return of Hit Row on Smackdown and what Triple H said to Top Dolla that should give the talent and the fans reason to be optimistic about the future in WWE... plus, John Laurinaitis officially terminated by WWE... even MORE previously unrecorded payments from Vince McMahon uncovered... news on the upcoming WWE Draft and what moves Triple H should make... where Karrion Kross is slotted internally on the Smackdown roster and what Triple H's reaction was to his time on the main roster... Bray Wyatt rumored to be on his way back to WWE, what Vince McMahon say about his physique and several examples of talents being deemed "difficult to work with" after pushing back on bad creative... very bad news for Kris Statlander and her chances of being the first to beat Jade Cargill... real concern about the future of the NXT UK brand and why it's warranted... NXT HEATWAVE PREDICTIONS... and lots of thoughts about the A&E Biography on Lex Luger, what was and was NOT talked about, the motorcycle accident that nearly took his arm, his doomed run in WWE as the All American babyface and the Lex Express, the death of Miss Elizabeth, his spinal stroke and what he says he would do if he is inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

It was a hot and humid July 4 aboard the USS Intrepid. Yokozuna decided to prove that no American was strong enough to bodyslam him. But Lex Luger proved him wrong.Throughout the podcast Justin and Heather debate who could have really body slammed Yoko out of all these men. They also talk about the career of Lex Luger and why this push didn't work out, as well as the careers of Tatanka, Crush and Scott Steiner. This is hard to find on the WWE Network.
