THE AMERICAN KORAKUEN HALL IS GOING TO DIE AND GABE IS GOING TO BE THE LAST ONE IN ITS CARCASS! Was this show enjoyable? Who is to say. A show that makes you question reality at times. As if you have stepped into an alternate dimension where wrestling is a SPORT and Ahtu isn't the sexiest man in the building. This is...A Tribute to The Arena.…

WE ARE BACK AND WE ARE BRINGING BACKUP! Bucky and Sam are joined by Phil Schneider, of Segunda Caida fame. We talk about the one-and-only EVOLVE 9. The show where Gabe embraces his love of the ABC Family teen dramas of the time. Also, orange tights. LISTEN TO OUR THOUGHTS ON POSSIBLY BUT ALSO POSSIBLY NOT THE BEST/WORST EVOLVE SHOW YET! WHAT TO REA…

The origin story. The event the gave birth to a promotion (a promotion that was left to pull up its bootstraps after Gabe abanded it like I assume abandons everyone in his life once he squeezes him for all they're worth). The event that gave us stories that we will tell our children. The event that gave us Lenny truly embodying DADDY in such a full…

LENNY! LENNY LENNY LENNY! I MISS YOU DARLIN'! YOU LEFT ME WITH ROB? ROB?! WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU! I JUST WANTED TO LOVE YOU! RESPECT YOU! TREAT YOU RIGHT! GIVE FOOT RUBS LATE AT NIGHT! I WOULD GIVE YOU THE MOON AND STARS! I WOULD BECOME...the genius. Wrestling isn't fair. WHO TO FOLLOW: WDKEVOLVE ACTUAL TWITTER ACCOUNT…

Webster's Dictionary defines evolve as: to develop gradually:to evolve a scheme. to give off or emit, as odors or vapors. Gape Sapolsky defines EVOLVE as emitting complete and utter garbage every which way. EVOLVE 6 is a staggering show. It recontextualizes the quality of the prior shows. I have never understood booking less than I do now. Bucky an…

Brad...you were too good for this world. You gave us so much pleasure. A performer unlike any other. We never get to become too close to you. The only thing Gabe allows us to know is your mom died from cancer on 9/11. For that, I'm sorry. This show is the epitome of the Booking Genious's prowess but is only 8 matches, so how bad could it be? WHO TO…

Bucky and Sam drop the hammer. We tell you the facts about EVOLVE 4: Danielson vs. Fish. As true wrestling pundits, we inform you who is Actually Good and who is Actually Bad. You might not like it but you will respect it. WHAT TO VIEW: Kevin Ford's Review EVOLVE 4 DVD BEARDED ONE PRESENTS

Wrestling is an art form. It isn't about the MOVES. It about the STORYTELLING outside the ring. NOTHING quite personifies that than EVOLVE 3: Rise or Fall. The STORIES. WOW!!! Gorgeous George would LOVE EVOLVE 3: Rise or FALL. Bring back those FEET! WHAT TO SEE: EVOLVE 3 Kevin Ford's Review WHO TO FOLLOW: bucky Lenny Leonard…

This week Evan the Soccer Guy and Quentin Moody join me for a little roundtable discussion of undervalued wrestlers this year they deserve some shine. Folks that when putting together YOUR WDKW100 ballot should at least have been thought about. From Japan to Mexico to the US & UK indies, we tackle it. Buckle in for takes PS Shane Strickland sucks e…

Welcome to the improbable first edition of We Don't Know EVOLVE 2: EVOLVE 2: Hero vs. Hidaka. Myself, Sam, and Bucky are back to give you the most in-depth retrospective on EVOLVE 2. The lows and the lesser lows. Big kicks, little shrimps. Gabe came to have fun and we are along for the ride. Lenny Leonard's feet. WHO TO FOLLOW: Bucky Sam EXTRA CONT…

Monumentous occasion as myself and Bucky hop on Skype Call for the second time ever. This is the first episode in a series called WE DON'T KNOW EVOLVE!!! (Gabe's a racist). Very excited to go through each and every EVOLVE show up until the death of the promotion. We start with Evolve 1, where we get to lay witness to the prestigious EVOLVE Singles …

I went solo this episode...because I didn't put much effort into getting a guest this week. I go over thirty minutes and I keep running my glass jaw. I talk about a cool podcast and cool future wrestling website. I talk about a three-year-old project. I talk about the WDKW100. I talk about CODE OF CONDUCT. I let you know I'm selfish. Good stuff all…

This week on We Don't Know Wrestling, the promoter of Dynamite Cup, Tom Green, joins me to talk the purpose of the event and run down the card. Tom is passionate about wrestling and specifically the people he has chosen to join in on his show. We also talk about the booking prowess of Nolie. WHO TO FOLLOW: Tom Green Dynamite Cup WHAT TO VIEW: Dynam…

In the end, it is always Tanner. One of the hosts of the Match of the Week Club, Tanner, is being sent to a deserted island with only a disc of ten matches and three segments on hand. A disc that features surprises, violence, and an American hero. WHO TO FOLLOW: Tanner NOAHs_Savior WHAT TO VISIT: Match of the Week Club…

Skylar joins me this week to reminisce about the greatest wrestling podcast ever, chat about his WDKW100 progress for 2018, and why computers are bad. WHO TO FOLLOW: Skylar WHAT TO CHECK OUT: WDKW Forums

FINALLY, WE DON'T KNOW WRESTLING IS BACK...IN YOUR EAR HOLES! After a hiatus brought on by the WDKW100, it only seemed fitting that the return featured a discussion about Dylan Hale's WDKW100 ballot. We break down his ballot block by block as well as discuss how some of his picks fit into the big picture. After hours of discussing the ballot itself…

Starting off a new series of shows here on the We Don't Know Wrestling feed! The Desert Island Comp series (working name) will have me sending off a wrestling pundit to a deserted island. The catch is, they get to take with them a compilation of up to 10 matches and up to 3 promos, angles, vignettes, etc. The next person I am sending off to a deser…

A true hoot. Devon, Dylan, New York Mike, and TJ Hawke join me in what can only be described a complete mess. Tanner gets buried within the first two minutes STRONGLY. Took place in May of 2016 so try and think about the discourse around that time. Maybe.

When I decided to do a podcast on the best lucha wrestlers of 2017 I knew there was only one person for the job. When they couldn't make it I was glad JR Goldberg could come on (jk jk). We go through the weird year lucha has had, talking up our favorite blood hungry mythical creatures of the year. Talk about the change in accessibility in lucha as …

Kris Zellner joined Tanner and me on the 15th episode of We Don't Know Wrestling. This took place shortly after Wrestle Kingdom 10, learning there was a NJPW exodus to WWE. Please tell me what else happened on this show. There is a lot of NJPW & banter frankly.

VERY cold today. VERY snowy. Sit down with a classic banter session. There are moments in your life where you can feel the entire weight of that singular moment. Where you know what you are doing is wrong and potentially damaging to yourself yet you continue on. Welcome to Part II of Formerly Known As Always Bury Tanners in which we conclude We Don…

Yesterday it was 60 degrees and today it is 15 degrees and there are 6 inches of snow on the ground. So we are going to put on the second interation of the We Don't Know Wrestling year-end awards up. ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: The Year End Wrestling Award Shows of your FRIGGIN’ DREAMS DADDY’O! Belee dat. Belee in Alabama Doink. Last year We Don’t Know W…

Indie wrestling in the United States can be a bit of a mixed bag. A lot of it feels the same, at least the wrestling that gets noted on social media. Then some you get some weird concept promotions. Occasionally you get actually good pro wrestling companies that use mostly local talent. AAW in 2017 had two territories that used a mix of strategy 1 …

Sometimes in life, you make choices that you regret. The FKAABTs3 will be one of those choices, filled with more of those choices. It is a puzzle wrapped in an enigma. We wrap up the WDKW year-end awards by going through Promotion of the Year, Match of the Year, and Wrestler of the Year. No panelist or nominee won. Everyone lost. Never forget that.…

The boys are back in town to bring you the only year-end award show in wrestling that matters, the Formerly Known As The Always Bury Tanners. Now, technically there have only been 2 FKAABTs but since the original was called the Always Bury Tanners I have decided to retcon the naming structure. The "judges" are myself, Tanner, Dylan Hales, Devon Hal…

Can't shake him, Tanner is back with first time guest Tom Batista of Military Industrial Suplex fame. A real slow burn of an episode as elements of the race for the Senate in Alabama seeps into the episode. We obviously disgust wrestling and how it is confirmed terrible. Truly nauseating. WHO TO FOLLOW: Tanner Tom…

Kevin Brown joins me in an episode dedicated to The King. Thank you Nick Gage for all that you have bestowed upon us. The grace you give can never be repaid. We were made in your image. We also talk about what's happening in pro wrestling right now which may involve wrestling being a cesspool. WHO TO FOLLOW: Kevin Brown Nick Gage WHAT TO LOOK AT: G…

One of the bookermen of Scenic City Trios, Dylan Hales, joins me to talk the upcoming tournament. We go through all the first round matches as well as the one announced non-tournament match. Really love this card and was glad I could discuss the background of each team and why the pairings are what they are with Dylan.…

Knew I needed to do a joshi primer for the WDKW100 but knew I only wanted to do it with one person so glad Alex could come on to discuss some of the candidates for 2017. Granted, you can find a lot more information on her Beginner's Guide to 2017 Joshi but I like to think the show does add some different perspectives for you. If you could leave a r…

CLASSIC EPISODE! Back to the archives to dig up this gem featuring Andrew and Brock discussing the sweetest science, backyard wrestling.

Original formula is back as Tanner and I shoot the breeze on the 69th episode of We Don't Know Wrestling. Very philosophical episode as we discuss our growth as not just fans but people. Little light on wrestling as we do briefly talk about the weekend #BigMike is participating in. Not much else though. To imagine this was supposed to be a Hallowee…

On this special episode of We Don't Know Wrestling I am joined by Dave Lagana, the VP of the National Wrestling Alliance.

Dylan Hales joins me this week to talk a few chosen men who were neglected on a prior episode on WDKW100 canidates. That includes Fred "Don't Make Jokes About My Height" Yehi, Big Mike and his son, and the wild man of indie wrestling Joey Janela. Mostly it is Dylan making the case and then me making fart noises. He's watched more wrestling than I e…

CLASSIC EPISODE! Second Part of the first ever We Don't Know Wrestling year-end award show, the Always Bury Tanners. I still don't remember much about this but I DO remember how I felt at the end. Defeated. Betrayed. As if all the work that had been put into this was for nothing. I deserved better. You deserved better. Relive the roller coaster rid…

CLASSIC EPISODE! The first part of the first ever year-end award show for We Don't Know Wrestling. Appropriatly titled the Always Bury Tanners. I don't 100% remember this show. I don't 10% remember this show either. Pretty sure it involves myself, Tanner, TJ Hawke, Dylan Hales, and Charles. I think. COME RELIVE THE BANTER!…

New York Mike and Devon join me to talk all things World Wrestling Federation in 2017. The rise of Braun, the artistry of the Bray and Randy feud, as well as well as giving a quick chat on the little guys. Comprehensive and informative.
