We're venturing back into the dark side of wrestling history! Today, we cover headlining mega stars like Sting, Shawn Michaels, Yokozuna, and the Hardy Boyz. We also go over failed or floundering promotions like TNA, GFW, CZW, and the industry-shaking #SpeakingOut Movement. We wrap it all up with the dark side of lucha libre as we cover Oro, Abismo Negro, La Ola Blanca, and La Dama Del Silencio.

I've compiled the biggest wrestling news stories for this episode. WWE's global ambitions, AEW and WWE visa issues, major injuries, heartbreaking losses, surprise departures, and the mysterious absences of EC3 and Jack Perry, I'm breaking it all down.

Ted Turner, who founded CNN and owned WCW for over a decade, passed away. TKO Group Holdings (and by extension, WWE) are cutting costs and requesting talent take pay cuts or pink slips. Is AEW's TV future in jeopardy? We've also got lawfare south of the border.

With WrestleMania 42 now in the books, I'm going to run down all the good, the bad, and the in-between. The build to the show was whacky, some of the matches were odd, night 1 was so-so, and night 2 ended pretty divisively.

Despite being called the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania, WrestleMania 25 was not that. Nor was it a great show. From men winning divas battle royals, to Kid Rock getting way too much screen time, to John Cena being jackhammered into an Edge and Big Show feud, to the blood feud between Triple H and Randy Orton being neutered by a stipulation, this show was not great. However, there were some high points, especially when it came to Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels.

Weird gimmicks, multi-people matches, nonsensical feuds, BS finishes, and ignoring the rules. That and so much more is what you can expect from WWF WrestleMania XV, which took place in 1999 in the home of ECW, Philadelphia!

It was the massive event that started it all! Was it the greatest wrestling event of all time? Not by a longshot. But WrestleMania 1 is near and dear to many wrestling fans, and it launched Vince McMahon's WWF empire into superstardom! Troy & Greg break it all down, match-by-match, segment-by-segment, and run down their opinions on this historic show.

We've covered, in two different ways, WCW's inaugural Uncensored event from 1995. Now, we move on to 1996, where The Mega Powers take on The Alliance to End Hulkamania (real name) in a 3-tier cage match. This event has 2-on-8, 3-story cage matches, the Booty Man, battling Hispanics for the US Title, feuding Europeans, giants clashing, a disastrous Chicago Street Fight, and more! My God, this was a beautiful mess.
