It's Observer Hall of Fame season, and you know what that means: With Kris having to take the week off, David figured this would be a good week of a HOF show, so he's joined here by our dear friend John Pollock of POST Wrestling to go over the ballot! The focus is on new/returning candidates and our ballot shortlists for the most part to keep our sanity, but there's a ton of ground covered, with topics including:David's new research into the Von Erichs and how it affects their candidacy as a group.Decoding the criteria as it applies to teams vs. singles acts.The underrepresentation of historically marginalized groups in the HOF.Junkyard Dog getting unfairly made out to be a far inferior candidate than he actually is in a lot of HOF discussions.Sabu's case coming into focus in the aftermath of his death.What's the threshold for high level in-ring longevity candidates like the Briscoes, Masaaki Mochizuki, and Meiko Satomura?Between last year's inductions of CIMA and Shingo Takagi and this year's addition of Mochizuki to the ballot, is it time to put a lot more focus on Dragongate candidates, whether individually or as groups?Is Becky Lynch's candidacy losing stream?Did CM Punk deliberately sabotage AEW, and if so, how does that reflect on his otherwise strong case for induction?The Randy Orton problem: Right now, it's easy to make the case for why he's a weak candidate. Will voters lost sight of that years down the line?Batista needing reconsideration under the current rule set when he's a far superior candidate to almost everyone else on the modern U.S./Canada ballot.Did Cody Rhodes' pec injury rob him of the credit he deserves for being the catalyst for the 2020s WWE boom period?Aew we overvaluing in-ring work when it comes to candidates like Tiger Jeet Singh?Trying to figure out the areas where the WON HOF should be more like the Rock 'n' Roll HOF than sports halls of fame, including whether or not feuds should be considered as much of an “act” as tag teams are since it's all a work.The problem with candidates like Zane Bresloff and Rossy Ogawa where we're largely relying on a friend or two to make the case for them. The glut of candidates like Morris Sigel, Bobby Bruns, and Roy Welch that arguably shouldn't be up to a vote in the first place.The rise of “non-standard” candidates like Jim Johnson and Reggie Parks.Mike Tenay arguably having much more actual stylistic influence on the style taken up by successor announcers than Jesse Ventura did.Dave Brown being unfairly punished for being the sidekick of the GOAT, Lance Russell despite being an HOF-level announcer himself and fans in the Memphis territory tending to put them over as a team.…and much more.

In this episode, the hosts break down the wild and unpredictable world of ECW's Anarchy Rulz 1999. They dive into the impact of ECW's new TV deal, the opener between Lance Storm and Jerry Lynn, and how injuries shaped the storytelling of the era. The discussion touches on segments with Simon Diamond and Jazz, the chaotic arrival of New Jack, and the thrilling three-way dance featuring Tajiri, Super Crazy, and Guido.From there, the conversation builds toward the intense blood feud between Justin Credible and Sabu, showcasing Sabu's one-of-a-kind style and lasting influence on wrestling. The hosts also revisit major ECW moments, including the Heatwave incident, Taz's shocking elimination, Mike Awesome's championship win, and the heated rivalry between Raven and Tommy Dreamer.To wrap up, they highlight the hard-hitting clash between Balls Mahoney and Rob Van Dam before shifting gears to preview NXT No Mercy 2023, reflecting on how wrestling has evolved while emphasizing the timeless importance of storytelling in the sport.

It's Tuesday night, the FigGuys are back and louder than ever! Mike B. and Tom dive into another wild ride of wrestling figure talk, life chaos, and of course—brand-new plastic glory. From moving stress to internet woes, nothing can stop your favorite duo from bringing the figure news straight to your ears.

In this episode of the podcast, the crew revisits the legacy of ECW, focusing on the 1998 event 'ECW Wrestlepalooza'. They discuss the opening matches, the significance of various wrestlers, and the dynamics of tag teams. The conversation also touches on the impact of legends like JYD and Shane Douglas, as well as the overall atmosphere of ECW during its prime. In this episode, the hosts delve into the legacy of Shane Douglas and his impact on wrestling, particularly in ECW. They discuss the missed opportunities in his rivalry with Ric Flair and the overall rise and fall of ECW. The conversation shifts to infamous matches involving New Jack, the chaotic Duds vs Dreamer and Sandman match, and the classic encounter between RVD and Sabu. The episode culminates in Al Snow's send-off match, reflecting on the nostalgia and the overall quality of the wrestling showcased.

We had ECW One Night Stand from WWE in 2005, and then WWE did it again in 2006, followed by the blah revival of ECW, so when most of the OG ECW roster jumps from WWE to TNA by 2010, what happens? Dixie Carter decides she'll have her own One Night Stand! WITH BLACKJACK! AND HOOKERS! Greg and Dane look at TNA Hardcore Justice 2010, where they go over dance-offs with the Full Blooded Italians, Raven and Tommy Dreamer having the most cringe hardcore match ever, a lightsaber fight and RVD facing Sabu in the Main Event! Be sure to thank Dixie for this episode everybody, because this wouldn't be possible without her (heavy sarcasm).

It's time to make some Money Moves! This week on The FigGuys, we're going hands-on with the ultra-limited ShopAEW exclusive 1/3000 Mercedes Moné figure, giving you a full breakdown of the insane detail, high-end packaging, soft goods galore, and that jaw-dropping CEO robe.

Bobby Lashley has been chosen by Donald Trump to go against Umaga in the Hair vs. Hair Battle of the Billionaires but tonight he's going to have to defend the ECW World Title against Hardcore Holly in a Steel Cage Match but Vince McMahon has something to add that leaves Hardcore Holly smiling and loving his chances. In another Money in the Bank qualifying match Sabu takes on Mr. Kennedy (Kennedy). And the saga between the ECW Originals and The New Breed continues as Rob Van Dam and Tommy Dreamer go up against Kevin Thorn and Marcus Cor Von.  Follow us on Instagram @GetItAgainPodcast Got 2 (or more) words for us?

We took a week off from the main show, and you know what that means: We're keeping you busy with some older Between the Sheets Patreon content that we've now made available for free. This time, we decided to assemble the entire “FUCK SABU!” trilogy (originally Patreon episodes #43-#45), covering Sabu's wild 1995, into one file for everyone to check out as a taste of what our Patreon-only deep dives are like. This is a great example, too, as we notice some very interesting things that the newsletters didn't pick up on at the time, like Chris Benoit's surprisingly obvious involvement in orchestrating the whole scenario.Want more content like this? Then sign up for the $5.00/month ($50.40/year if paid annually upfront) tier on our Patreon page and check out the back catalog that spans almost 9 years. This month, for August, the deep dive that we've started on is more 1995 content, covering Bill Watts' brief stint booking the WWF. Also, don't forget: From this point forward, regardless of if we're doing a month-long deep-dive or a smattering of smaller topics, we now release weekly Patreon content, with the segments of the month-long deep dives getting dropped each week as we record them.Anyway, we hope you enjoy these shows, and now, here are the original show descriptions:Part 1:Since April is the 25th anniversary of Sabu being fired from ECW, we decided it was the perfect opportunity to take a deep dive looking at everything that happened surrounding that very memorable event. So that brings us to this month's special, part one of what should be at least two episodes looking at Sabu's 1995, from his signing with NJPW to his indie schedule to his troubles with ECW, climaxing with Sabu double booking himself the night of ECW's big Three-Way Dance card. How did Sabu end up booked in NJPW the same night as the ECW show on late notice, why didn't he just cancel one of the bookings, and how did the situation devolve from there?We look at all of this in-depth, as it was covered in the newsletters, where both Sabu and Paul Heyman were commenting in detail on the record. All that and much more, including Chris Benoit's apparent major role in the Sabu/ECW schism, the greatness of Murder Inc./Wolf Army in 1995 NJPW, Sabu getting maced while doing a run-in for Circle City Wrestling, Chris Zavisa as Sabu's house organ, the proliferation of "Best of Sabu" videotapes, the reemergence of Dennis Coralluzzo in Sabu's career, and much more.This is a GREAT show, with a *lot* of fascinating stuff that's never talked about. Here's looking forward to part two!Part 2:We're back to pick up where we left off in our journey through Sabu's 1995, starting a few weeks after his firing from ECW over the "FUCK SABU!" no-show, as he starts talking to WCW and wins the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship from Koji Kanemoto at the Fukuoka Dome. Things quickly take a turn, though, as Sabu *throws down the title while cutting a promo about how he's a heavyweight*, NJPW tries to pretend it never happened, Sabu drops the belt at the next major show, Sabu becomes one of the anchors of Kevin Sullivan's plan to build "two WCWs" for the Monday Nitro launch, and much more happens as we close out the show just before Nitro launches. But the real meat of this show is in the forgotten Observer report, in black and white and plain English, that Sabu and Paul Heyman came to a secret agreement on an ECW return months before the actual return happened, and how Taz must have been privy to it given his career prospects at the time.All that and much more on another fascinating chapter in the "FUCK SABU!" saga!Part 3:We're back to pick up where we left off in our journey through Sabu's 1995, finishing up the series as we cover the launch of WCW Monday Nitro through the release of the 1995 Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards in January 1996. Topics include how quickly Sabu's WCW run fell apart, the strange six month gap where Sabu stops teaming with the rest of Masahiro Chono's Okami Gundan/Murder Inc. stable in NJPW, Sabu scrambling for ideas to make him a pushed heavyweight in WCW like bringing in The Sheik's old United States Championship belt, The Sheik becoming Sabu's agent, Sabu returning to Dennis Coralluzzo's NWA New Jersey, Sabu becoming a transitional UWA World Junior Light Heavyweight Champion, Konnan trying to court Sabu for AAA, Sabu returning to ECW the same day he worked for Dennis, a labyrinthian web of conflicting stories from Sabu and Heyman about how they worked out the return, Sabu “officially” being fired from WCW on their hotline, the WWF's efforts to get Sabu for the 1996 Royal Rumble, and MUCH more. This is a fantastic end to the series and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it.Timestamps:0:09:00 December 1994-January 19950:40:11 February-March 19951:09:52 Week of April 3 & Week of April 10, 19952:04:29 Week of April 17, 19952:27:03 April-May 19953:14:04 June 19953:33:51 July 19954:02:51 August 19954:36:30 September 19955:19:37 October 19955:55:23 November 19956:43:38 December 1995 and beyondTo 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.

This may be Tim Butterly's final appearance on the Bonfire for a while because he's moving to Austin. Jacob is sad about this, so to make him feel better, they perform a new episode of the hit sitcom "Jacob Loves Guys." Jay and Christine saw Kendrick Lamar in concert and Jay gives a full review. They are going to a Marylin Manson show tonight and a person claiming to be him calls Bobby's cell. More than a few wrestlers who appear on "Legion Of Skanks" wind up dead shortly after. The great Sabu guested on Jay's other show last Monday and was found diseased the next day. A large bronze statue of an everyday black woman was erected in Times Square and she seems pissed off. On May 22nd Tim Butterly will perform a "Going Away" show at SoulJoel's in Pottstown PA. *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more FOLLOW THE CREW ON SOCIAL MEDIA: @thebonfiresxm @louisjohnson @christinemevans @bigjayoakerson @robertkellylive @louwitzkee @jjbwolfSubscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of The Bonfire ad-free and a whole week early.  Start a free trial now on Apple Podcasts or by visiting siriusxm.com/podcastsplus.
