Two tenured columnists and podcasters wax philosophical about the state of wrestling in 2019

Follow @TheDocLOP

This week, The Doc is joined by a podcasting genius best known for co-creating WCW: The Legacy Series. The dynamic duo wax philosophical about the fascinating state of wrestling as we prepare to flip the calendar to a new decade.

The conversation is reminiscent of a fire-side chat between two long-time friends and colleagues, and both parties are confident that the various directions that their discussion takes will resonate with diehard wrestling fans. Doc’s guest has long struggled to find his place in modern wrestling fandom. His inability to connect with a promotion (until recently) has often left him going back to World Championship Wrestling, which built his passion for pro wrestling. Doc, meanwhile, continues to be amazed that any company besides WWE could consistently capture his attention for wrestling. Try as he might to leave the past in the past, he feels that old familiar pull thanks to a recent heel turn on Raw.

Doc and Shane know their stuff, so if listening to a pair of tenured veteran columnists and podcasters (25 years experience engaging wrestling fans with their commentary between them) shoot the you-know-what appeals to you, lend them your ears for a bit. It was too long for BlogTalk guidelines, so it is presented in two parts.

Attitude Of Aggression #309- The Big Five Project: King of the Ring ’95

The Big Five Project returns to recap a dreadful PPV, King of the Ring ’95. It is every bit as bad as you remember…but we cover it anyway

The Big Five Project returns to cover one of the worst PPVs of all time, King of the Ring 1995. Seriously, this is an event that kind of makes WrestleMania IX look good by comparison. Vince McMahon had all the elements in place to make this an event to remember. Well, it was an event to remember for all the wrong reasons. The bracket for the King of the Ring tournament was pretty solid. But bad matches and even worse booking decisions led us to the crowning of….King Mabel? Oh, and if that was not bad enough, Vince threw Bret “Hitman” Hart, the best wrestler in the company, into a meaningless Kiss My Foot match with Jerry “The King” Lawler. The fact that match was one of the better matches on the card tells you so much of what you need to know, and we have not event talked about the Main Event pitting the WWF Champion Diesel, and his tag team partner, Bam Bam Bigelow, against Sycho Sid and Tatanka in a match that redefined the word meaningless. If you are asking why….well you are not the only ones as we asked ourselves the same question over and over during this PPV that really epitomizes just how rough things were in WWF during the first half of 1995. Rob returns to the show and joins Dave, DJ, and PC Tunney to cover it all for you here, so you don’t have to watch it yourself. You can thank us later. Or thank us now by tuning in to another epic installment of The Big Five Project!
