Kayfabulous Lucha Bros Wrestling Show

Draven is BACK from San Francisco to beautiful Los Angeleez to talk about his live Wrestlemania 31 experience. THEN we get into more wrestling memories and talk of great angles from the past. Plus, D talks about an indy show from 2006 where he lost a chankleta and gets infinitely trolled over it, D-Lo Brown listening to spots, pocket hamburgers and stuffed crust pizzas, and more assorted wackiness! What a great time we had on this show! Next week we get back to reviews... maybe...

We're back with a special supershow as the Lucha Brothers revisit classic wrestling memories as a kid. Get to know both Big D and Draven as they talk about what got them into the business. Revisit CLASSIC angles from the past, stories about growing up, lucha, and YES OLD TV SHOWS! A FUN SHOW!

Part II of our review of the 1998 Royal Rumble has arrived as we talk about the Rumble match from start to finish as well as the main event casket match. Of course, lots of talk about Mike Tyson, WCW's mysterious counter offer, his wacky promos, and much more! We cover Rock being the "Iron Man" in the Rumble, all THREE faces of Foley in the match, Ahmed Johnson and his bizarre altered state, "Let's Bury Owen Hart Time", Austin wins (duh), and MUCH MORE. We then get into the career ending (sort of) casket match between Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker and the Kane swerve that everybody saw coming, and the entire Kane build-up in detail! Check it out!

The podcast with the biggest spaldings presents a review of the 1998 Royal Rumble - Part 1 - as we talk about the show that kicked off the Wrestlemania season that would eventually lead to WWF taking the lead in the Monday Night War - Its KAYFABULOUS! Maybe not the best show, but certainly an important historical show, and yes, MIKE TYSON is here to save the day! We'll talk about WWF's brilliant booking of Steve Austin as a babyface and a lesson on what top faces should be, as well as their strange booking of a few characters during the time. So join that young and hungry tiger Brandon Draven and me as we look back at the entire undercard including the LOD vs. NOA feud, Vader and Goldust, Midgets and Women consolidated into one segment that made Fred Blassie proud, The Rock starts to show boatloads of main event charisma and his feud with Ken Wayne Shamrock, and MORE! Next week, we talk the Rumble and the Casket Match. You want fluff? Go eat a marshmallow.

Part II of our review of WCW Great American Bash 2000 continues to sink further and further into the toilet of this absolute horror of a PPV. The first thing we talk about is a Best of 5 Tables Match, which is already wacky, and memories of The Wall. We talk about a freaking ABORTION of a match between Scott Steiner vs. Tank Abbott that features Rick Steiner TURNING THREE TIMES IN ONE MATCH!!!! SERIOUSLY!! The genius Russo booked TWO retirement matches on one show, Hulk Hogan vs. Billy Kidman and Ric Flair vs. David Flair, featuring the GREATNESS of Vince Russo as an on screen character, booking himself to get beaten up by a 13 year old Charlotte Flair and 10 year old Reid. We talk about the Human Torch match, where a man is SET ON FIRE and just how ridiculous the entire ordeal was. Then we get to the Kevin Nash vs. Jeff Jarrett main event featuring Nash kicking out of more things in 2000 than The Rock in 2013 and Brock Lesnar in 2015, and of course the big moment that would change the business forever. Plus,

This week we present Part 1 of one of the worst PPVs we've ever done- WCW Great American Bash 2000, sent in by our pal Rob, smack dab in the middle of Vince Russo second run in WCW and the New Blood vs. Millionaire's Club angle. Boy oh boy are there wacky gimmicks up and down THIS card. This show has about seven turns... SEVEN... including one that was built up as being the biggest moment in the history of sports entertainment and got over like crotchrot. We talk about the M.I.A. and how you can't book a stable based on JUST puns and have it draw money, the Misfits in Action, Pamela Paulshock's humongous breasts and how she gives us all Hugh G Rections, Kronik... er.. Kolonik vs. the Paisans with botches galore, DDP vs. THE GLADIATOR in an AMB-A-LANCE match, the BIRTH of Positively Kanyon and his offensive stunt, G.I. Bro and PerfectShawn put us to sleep and then wake us up with the LEX FLEXER! This SHOW SUCKS! Come back next week for part 2 when the show lights a man ON FIRE!

The Lucha Brothers review WILD THING aka Wrestle War 1990 - a show where the fans of professional wrestling have "Herd Enough". This show is an example of how one injury, bad direction, and incompetent booking can take you from having a fantastic product in 1989 to a joke of a product in 1990. We talk about Sting's injury and the original plans for 1990 and Luger's very strange and forced babyface turn. We put over tag greats like "Arn and Oleander", the Steiners coming up, the Warriors going out, Doom is oversized suits, and many many tag team matches. We debate the main event finish - was it bad, was it good? You'll get two sides to the story. PLUS - Cactus Jack Manson, Norman plays the part of every 500 lb bearded wrestling creep, the END OF THE DYNAMIC DUDES, AND... Terry Funk and Ricky Morton pay a visit to the show and talk to us!!

This week's Kayfabulous Lucha Brothers show takes us back to 20 years ago to 1994 to review Fall Brawl 1994 - a show requested (or not) by our pal Chessarmy from Slam Zone Radio. What's funny about this show is that we taped it the NIGHT of the 2015 Royal Rumble, so you NOT ONLY get the full review of Fall Brawl 1994 but ALSO a MINI Review of Rumble 2015 including the greatness of the Triple Threat and the tremendously poorly booked Rumble match. But soon after, we get into the real meat and potatoes of Fall Brawl 94 including, but not limited to; WCW's 1994 business in the early days of the Hogan run, Ricky Steamboat's retirement and Steve Austin getting completely screwed over, Ray Traylor resembles a gumball machine and the epic, yet strangely booked, "Triangle" match with he, Sting, and Big Van Vader, Dusty proves he's a better promo guy than Dwayne yet again and then WE GET TO WAR GAMES - The MATCH BEYOND! This might not be the best War Games, but it may have been the funniest as we have Wacky Drunk Terr

Because we love you SO MUCH, this week we're giving you a BONUS show as the Lucha Bros review WCW Monday Nitro WEEK 2 from September 11th, 1996, the go home show for Fall Brawl 1995.

We break down the true definition of a "jobber" and the difference between the mechanics of the past vs. what it became. We talk about the debut of new talents on Nitro and how they ALL LOST, Lex Luger returns and his out of place segment with Ric Flair, Sabu's wacky run in WCW, Bischoff gives away taped Raw results for the first time, the Shark breaks Scott Norton's legs!, and VADER GOES AWOL!?

Join us as we discuss JASON ALBERT and Dave Meltzer's dislike of him, Bubba Ray Dudley's BRILLIANT storyline wanting to give women WOOD and booking an entire feud around a PUN like only Senator Chris Kreski could do, Trish's incredible immaculate body, another incredibly well-written character-driven storyline between Chyna and Eddie Guerrero and Eddie wrestling in his Prom Tuxedo, the early Lita run in WWF, Jericho vs. Benoit and the start-stop Jericho push of 2000, and of course, The Rock vs. Triple H featuring the return of Stone Cold Steve Austin with a gut so big he didn't know whether to crap or wind his watch!

Thanks for your support and click that DOWNLO

Part II of our review of Survivor Series 2002 as Mark the Mark returns to finish the show! We break down the infamous "Smackdown Six" and their three month program, the pros and the cons of Heyman's booking of Smackdown in late 2002, Eric Bischoff kisses Stephanie AND Linda McMahon in all sorts of poetic justice, Chris Nowinski's potential; we put over Matt Hardy's Version 1.0 gimmick, Scott Steiner historic and... profane... debut, Eric Bischoff's awesomeness during is early run as Raw GM, Saliva's awesome Chris Jericho remix (better than most of Fozzy's entire catalogue) and of course - THE ELIMINATION CHAMBER!

The lovely Joe Moya sent in a request that we review WWE Survivor Series 2002 and as promised - IT'S HERE! But no, the Kayfabulous Lucha Brothers are not alone on this one and we present our first special guest ever on the program - Sportsguy515 from Forced Perspective, but on this show he's back to being MARK THE MARK, and THIS MARK, was IN THE BUILDING during the 2002 Survivor Series, the PREMIER of the gimmick match known as the ELIMINATION CHAMBER! So we've got his live thoughts! This is part 1, so we talk about such topics as Saliva and its relation to Draven's past relationships, in depth analysis of the greatness of Eric Bischoff as the Raw GM and what's right and wrong about heel authority figures in pro wrestling, the reunion of the Dudleys, our LOVE of 3 Minute Warning - Rose-Ay and Eki, Rico Constantino and the OVW Class of the early 2000s, WWF New York's overpriced burgers, Jamie Noble and Nidia's AMAZING characters, Kidman's distracting and unfitting rap theme that debuted here, Women going Hardc

The time has come for PART II of our MOST DOWNLOADED EPISODE YET - No Way Out 2001 as we get into the REAL meat and potatoes of this show - The DOUBLE Main Event. First, we cover IN DEPTH the epic, first ever THREE STAGES OF HELL match between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H, which Brandon Draven puts as the best match in WWF history. It's amazing 40 plus minute spectacle that must be seen to be believed and we spend a considerable amount of time on it - and its not even the last match! We continue on with the show's second main event as The Rock attempts to regain the WWF Title from the awesome Kurt Angle, a guy who was one of the best workers in the business within just TWO years! Plus we talk about the EXODUS OF JERRY LAWLER from the WWF for almost all of 2001 and the alleged behind the scenes story behind this, the Brothers of Destruction vs. The Dudleys vs. Edge & Christian - six men who claimed to be brothers and NONE WERE ACTUALLY RELATED IN ANY SINGLE WAY! Continue your 2015 with the Lucha Brothe
