We're gremlins here at the Sweet Chinwag... Well two of us are at least! And when Dan suggested this episode, it only seemed fitting to have Dan be the one to present. We go over the advent of hardcore and deathmatch promotions in Japan and the influence they had on US promotions as ECW shut it's doors in 2001, the US promotion's history and matches you should watch.

All of that, plus the week's news in pro wrestling!

Episode 219: The Wilderness of Extreme Promotions

Real Sexy Hot Guys. That is one of the many ways to describe a group of peeps who have made countless laugh with their antics. A little different to our usual fare as Sam is joined by video editing maestro CMOrigins to discuss why we love the nL to Riordan. We go over a brief history, the members, the guests, the videos and the moments.

All that plus WrestleMania predictions!

Episode 227: Why We Love NewLEGACYInc w/ CMOrigins

We've already done an episode about the wider world of wrestling merch, but by golly does WWE know how to stick the WrestleMania logo on stuff and sell it to you! So for this episode to wrap up the road to WrestleMania, the chaps come up with their favourites and not so favourites of 'Mania Merch!

All of that, plus a slightly condensed news segment!

Episode 228: The Best & Worst of WrestleMania Merch

So the wrestling world is now in a very weird place, especially coming from the fallout of WrestleMania 41. Rather than going with a subject, the chaps are joined by a returning Andos and a debuting El Balisong as we go over the week's news and our thoughts on 'Mania and the fallout from it. It's quite the different episode, so sit back and hopefully listen in.
