Beyond the Mat is a movie that appears NOWHERE in the 1999 box office charts, mainly because it only screened once in 1999 in Los Angeles on October 22, thanks in no small part to Vince McMahon fuckery (though it did get a limited release in March of 2000). Beyond the Mat was directed by Barry Blaustein, an accomplished comedy screenwriter, and it features the real-life stories of wrestling legends Terry Funk, Mick Foley, and Jake the Snake Roberts, Though it wasn't a commercial hit, it received a mostly favorable critical response, and has gone on to become a beloved documentary, especially among wrestling fans. Joining John and Julia to discuss it is Ross Benes, author of the upcoming book 1999: The Year Low Culture Conquered America and Kickstarted our Bizarre Times. His book will be available everywhere in April. You can learn more about Ross and his work on his website: www.rossbenes.com

Welcome to Episode 16 of Pro Wrestling Spotlight Rewind. As we close out 2024 - we go way back into the archives and share the original episode of John Arezzi's Pro Wrestling Spotlight, which aired on 1240 AM WGBB in West Babylon on December 29th, 1991!  Show 140 turns out to be the last on WGBB until 1994!

In Studio guests are the always obnoxious and insulting THE POWER TWINS. Plus we cover highlights from the past few years with many classic moments with Terry Funk, Cactus Jack, the unforgettable argument Paul E. Dangerously had with a listeners Mom, Lucious Johnny Valiant with Ivan Koloff, and many more! We also take calls from the listeners. A historic end to the WGBB run.

Here comes Brakkus… and there goes Brakkus! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys sit down to a mediocre episode of Monday Night Raw, filled with mediocre talent like the DOA, Vader, the Headbangers, and Dustin Runnels. D-Lo Brown has a great showing against Terry Funk, while the Brawl For All keeps burning through careers. Mrs. Yamaguchi-san pays a little attention to Val Venis, and the Undertaker starts to show his true colors. A one-off appearance from King Mabel is too much for anyone!
