We start with the year of Hulk Hogan's debut up through the nWo years and end with the very depressing Russo era, and it's quite a trip. Hear us give each year a rating from 1-5, pick an MVP, Match of the Year, and Best & Worst PPV, and just generally give our thoughts and feelings on what we think is or isn't worth watching. What's fun bad and what's just brutally bo

This week on Wrestling Omakase it's Jake ([@oatgan](https://twitter.com/Oatgan))'s pick for winning our 2018 Champions Fantasy Draft, and he chose to have us watch a rather infamous show: FIP Everything Burns 2017! At his behest we're also joined by the hosts of the now ex-podcast Everything Evolves, Aaron Taube ([@aptaube](https://twitter.com/aptaube)) & Aaron Bentley ([@aaronlikethecar](https://twitter.com/aaronlikethecar)). Journey back to 1/8/17 and the early days of the FloSlam era of WWN, as Gabe promised a new era would begin for this long-running indie promotion. He also promised an EDGY~! new direction, which results in a LOT of cursing on this show.

It also features a weird mix of guys who have popped up all over the rest of WWN/the indies in general after this (Austin Theory, Fred Yehi, Sami Callahan, Jason Kincaid, etc.) and guys who have barely been seen again (T

On this episode, we break down EVOLVE 114, the changes to the promotion that have come with the NXT invasion and explain our decision to walk away from our podcast. Along the way, we show love to the people who supported our show, discuss the importance of solidarity in the face of a rising fascist right and talk about EVOLVE’s track record of being less offensive than other indie wrestling promotions.
