Season 6 - Episode #36: WCW Souled Out 1997 and You Cannot Kill David Arquette Trailer Reaction Even though the whole nation is in self quarantine mode from the coronavirus we still are bringing you entertainment! We have previously talked about bad PPVs on the show before but we have another brutal one to talk about this week. nWo Souled Out 1997 was WCW's first attempt at a brand split with the nWo and WCW.

Season 6 - Episode #36: The Worst Wrestling PPV Of All Time People like to crap on 2000s WCW but the early to mid 90s might have been worse. Uncensored 1995 was a PPV that was advertised as Unsanctioned, Unauthorized, Unbelievable. In other words it was going to be so violent and crazy that WCW themselves would not sanction any match so there would be no rules. It proceeded to feature special stipulations (aka rules) in every match but two, have a match that was literally censored, and have a main event that was sanctioned. Also the main event featured Hogan beating a man who wasn't even his opponent to win. It's absolutely insane. Also we talk this week in wrestling, Mark went to a local show with an unsafe cage match and the festival where the premier of David Arquette's wrestling documentary You Cannot Kill David Arquette was cancelled.

Season 6 - Episode #33: 2001: A XFL Disaster So the XFL Season 2 is in full swing and we are enjoying it quite a lot. Mark with his Renegades and Harris with his Guardians. But let's not forget that it was in 2001 that Vince McMahon originally decided to start a football league called the XFL. That time it failed miserably. There were so many insane things that took place that year and Harris has made a list of 10 we go over to explain just how nuts it was. From Vince trying to turn it into a wrestling promotion to inappropriate cheerleaders to unnecessary injuries and to He Hate Me it never ceased to be, well, insane. We also talk the amazing roll AEW Dynamite has been on and the upcoming Atlanta show as well as What's Up With David Arquette!

Season 6 - Episode #32: Kerwin White, "Alexa Bliss" and XFL Themes We have a jam packed episode for y'all this week. First we talk some current wrestling news. AEW had a big show and WWE seems to be on the right track heading towards WrestleMania. David Arquette has a wrestling documentary coming out in March called You Cannot Kill David Arquette and he was kind enough to send us some promotional material to help spread the word. The XFL has released official theme songs for every team and we go through them and see if they are any good. Bowling For Soup, the amazing pop-punk band has released "Alexa Bliss" which is an incredible song all about our favorite goddess. For the main show we are talking about something that was a pretty awful and offensive angle WWE did. Back in 2005 Chavo Guerrero decided to denounce his Mexican heritage and become "white middle-class." Needless to say it was...well...interesting.

We bring you everything you need to know (but mostly it's just us making fun of players names and the stupid one sentence taglines each team has for their opening day)! Also make sure and go back and listen to Mark's Mystery Box from a few months ago for our detailed description of each team with dramatic readings from the paragraphs they wrote describing themselves.

Season 6 - Episode #31: The Botched Royal Rumble It was the perfect storm of screw ups. The ending of the 2005 Royal Rumble was completely botched as John Cena and Batista both eliminated each other. That mistake would lead to one of the most amazing and impressive improv moments in Rumble history. Also Vince McMahon torn both quads trying to get into the ring!

Season 6 - Episode #30: Some Of The Worst/Dumbest Matches In WCW History (Yapapi Indian Strap Match, Junkyard Hardcore Invitational & Catch-as-catch-can match) There is so much to unpack this week. First we talk recent news in wrestling including AEW Dynamite, NWA Powerrr and R-Truth's amazing promo with Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman on RAW. Then for the topic we dissect three of the stupidest matches WCW has ever had. The first was a good idea and had good participants with Kidman and Dean Malenko in a Catch-As-Catch-Can Match. But didn't turn out right after a big mistake. Then we go to the Junkyard Hardcore Invitational where 15 wrestlers battled in a random parking lot with junked cars. It's impossible to follow and boring. Finally we go to the best one with Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair in a Yapapi Indian Strap Match. Hogan gives us two of the greatest promos in history and then the match doesn't even follow it's own rules! Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @Behind_Gorilla and send questions, com

Season 6 - Episode #29: Billy & Chuck Wedding: Don't Watch This This is all about the time WWE decided to fake a gay angle between Billy Gunn and Chuck Pulumbo.

Also we talk current wrestling news and Mark and Harris argue over AEW and their use of Kenny Omega.
