5 Wrestling Podcasts We Love

Unfortunately at BCW we can't watch wrestling all day long..... We've got families, jobs, travel & other stuff that require us, well, not to sit watching wrestling all day!  However, although we can't actually watch wrestling whilst doing said things, we can still listen to other people talk about wrestling as we go about our daily business!  Thus with that in mind, here are our (current) top 5 favourite Wrestling Podcasts.  

#5 We Watch Wrestling

Die hard wrestling fans, Matt McCarthy (former WWE writer) & Vince Averill, who also happen to be great stand up comedians, talk all things wrestling.  These absolute legends give their opinions of the current wrestling scene and throw in great stories from their own personal experiences for good measure.  We only discovered these guys lately, but are huge fans already!  

*We actually discovered these guys when listening to our favourite non-wrestling podcast My Favorite Murder, as one of the host's (Georgia) is actually Vince Averill's wife!  On this note, you should check out MFM's 17th episode as they cover the Chris Benoit murder/suicide case, it's a great listen and the girls uncover details about the case that we'd never heard before at BCW!

#4 WhatCulture Wrestling Podcast

We are longtime & MASSIVE fans of the WhatCulture WWE YouTube channel and in our opinion they are still kings of the WWE list videos, even though all the cool kids argue that Cultaholic have taken that title!  Anyway it turns out they (WhatCulture "Pronouns Pal") aren't too shabby at the old podcasting either.  They release daily podcasts but our pick of the bunch is the weekly Raw & Smackdown Review (does what it says on the tin), which includes the absolute gem "The 5 Star Review, Review" where they review ridiculous wrestling related items such as Randy Savage Vs Spiderman & WWE Superstars on The Weakest Link etc. 

As we already established we are big fans of WhatCulture, well really that goes hand in hand with Cultaholic as pretty much the entire Cultaholic team are ex-WhatCulture presenters, and yes we love their YouTube channel too!  Again they are pretty great at podcasting and have several shows per week, with our favourite show being the Classic Raw/PPV reviews, where they take a look back at old episodes of  Monday Night Raw & Classic PPV's and discuss them in their own quirky witty style, and we love it!

#2 The Major Wrestling Figure Podcast

WWE Superstars Curt Hawkins (Brian Myers) & Zack Ryder (Matt Cardona) talk about Wrestling Figures, yes this is a real thing, and no they aren't short of content as you may expect!  It really is a fascinating listen, the banter is great, lots of ribbing, great stories of their antics over the years and most importantly they talk about their insane addiction to collecting Wrestling Figures.  Cardona especially, has a ridiculous collection and spends obscene amounts of money on rare collectables.  It's fun, lighthearted & actually has helped push both of their in ring careers of late!

#1 Something To Wrestle with Bruce Prichard

Multi-award winning podcast from one of the most influential figures in WWE for many years, Bruce Prichard.  Bruce recounts his experiences on various topics from his time as Vince McMahon's right hand man, along with his co-host & podcast legend Conrad Thompson.  

If you have been a wrestling fan for years, like us, this is the podcast for you!  Prichard tells it like it is, pulling no punches and gives a detailed account of his experiences in the wrestling business, he lightens the mood with his impressions, catchphrases & humour, telling great & usually funny stories as well as confirming & debunking wrestling urban legends and folklore.  It's a show that one minute can have you in a fit of laughter, and a few moments later in tears when he's giving a heartfelt tribute to some of his fallen colleagues.  In our (and many other people's) opinion Prichard and Thompson are the Undisputed Tag Team Champions of the Wrestling Podcast world and have been for quite some time, and we just hope they never get tired of doing the show and keep the gold for many years to come!

The 15 Greatest Tag Team Finishers Ever

Image
Not since the days of Demolition, The Hart Foundation, The Road Warriors & The British Bulldogs etc. in the late 1980's has there been such a wealth of talented Tag Teams in the world of Professional Wrestling, until now that is!  As the likes of The Young Bucks, The Revival. The Uso's & The New Day are arguably among a best crop of Pro Wrestling Tag Teams to come along since the 1980s "Golden Generation".  Thus with this in mind, we have decided to pick our Top 15 (basically because we couldn't whittle it down to 10 as there are so many great ones!) Tag Team Finishers of all time. Honourable Mention: Shaker Heights Spike (The Beverly Brothers) It wasn't very often we got to see the Shaker Heights Spike, in fact Blake & Beau (The Beverly Brothers) usually only performed the move on local enhancement talent, as on the bigger shows they themselves were regularly jobbed out to more popular teams. The move itself is devastating, Blake would ...

The 8 Greatest Pro Wrestling Referees Ever

Image
The referee in the world of Professional Wrestling/Sports Entertainment (or whatever you like to call it) is much more than the guy to count the 1,2,3.  In fact he/she is as important, if not more important, than the actual competitors.  What many people don't realise is that the official passes messages throughout the match to each superstar, calls spots & even tells the competitors when it's "time to go home".   As of late, especially in key matches on WWE PPV's, referee's have made some huge errors, blowing the finish to huge matches (Wrestlemania 35's Main Event springs to mind as one of the biggest).  Yes, I know anyone can make a mistake, but there is a fine art to being a good pro wrestling referee & an even finer art to being a great one.  Thus with that in mind, lets take a look at who we believe are the 8 Greatest Professional Wrestling Referees of All Time. Honourable Mentions: Danny Davis, Jack Doan, Teddy Long & Red Shoes Un...

10 Crazy Moves Banned by WWE

Image
WWE prides itself on safety these days, but that wasn't always the case!  With that in mind, let's take a look at 10 classic wrestling maneuvers WWE has since banned their Superstars from performing! #10 Doomsday Device Finishing maneuver of The Road Warriors/Legion of Doom, where Hawk would perform a top rope clothesline knocking his opponent off his partner Animal's shoulders in the process.  It takes skill (mainly from the performer taking the bump) to avoid injury on the landing from the Doomsday Device, unfortunately a lot of enhancement talent in the 90's lacked said skill, thus the move was pretty much retired after LOD left the company, with the exception of the Dudley Boys performing it occasionally during their first run with WWE. #9 Piledriver The Piledriver was a devastating finisher/signature move right up to the mid 2000's in WWE, although it had become a watered down version by the end.  The move was made famous by the likes of Wi...
