When Sam chose this tournament he did internalize how bad he is at pronouncing names. Safe to say he remembered while discussing this tournament.
Mega Battle 1994 is a complicated tournament. If the RINGS rules weren't enough, they threw the kitchen sink at you with all the byes. Plus there are 20 wrestlers in this shoot-style tournament. Lot to work through. Luckily Dan and Sam are here to break down all the action.

A Dan pick this week as Sam hasn't watched any modern lucha because he is an absolute scumbag. A tournament with old men, older rivalries, and more overly produced wooden boards than you can shake a stick at. AAA does not disappoint, living up to their history of weird angles and lots of blood. Get rea

Talking Tourneys #3: King Of The Ring 1993
Join Dan and Sam as they chat through WWF's King of the Ring 1993. Hottest takes on Bret Hart, Curt Hennig, and the one and only Mr.Hughes. What a worker! Oh, Gene Okerlund also gives us an all-timer. The naive Sam gets tricked by the World Wrestling Federation's propaganda. Dan tells us about his book-loving mother, and in general, we have a good time.

Talking Tourneys #2: NJPW's Super J-Cup 94
Dan and Sam are back again. Following up the conversation on the hoot that was Tournament of Death 3, we decide to chat about one of the most important tournaments in the history of of wrestling. Safe to say Super J-Cup 94 influenced a whole lot of the wrestling we see today. It was a highly successful of its times...but does it hold up? That's one of the questions we try to answer along with "Who owed Ricky Fuji?" and "Liger, good?". Hot topics that we are here to help with.

The main event is D-Ou the now thrice annual DDT round robin tournament also known as D-King. The boys compare this to pervious years and agree that Soma Takao sucks but, maybe not as much as Bull James.

Desert Island Comp #1: Tom Batista
Starting off a new series of shows here on the We Don't Know Wrestling feed! The Desert Island Comp series (working name) will have me sending off a wrestling pundit to a deserted island. The catch is, they get to take with them a compilation of up to 10 matches and up to 3 promos, angles, vignettes, etc.
The first person I am sending off to a deserted island is Tom Batista, host of the Military Industrial Suplex. We discuss his 9 matches and 3 promos! With that, we go through the proc
Desert Island Comp #2: Quentin Moody
Starting off a new series of shows here on the We Don't Know Wrestling feed! The Desert Island Comp series (working name) will have me sending off a wrestling pundit to a deserted island. The catch is, they get to take with them a compilation of up to 10 matches and up to 3 promos, angles, vignettes, etc.

In the end, it is always Tanner. One of the hosts of the Match of the Week Club, Tanner, is being sent to a deserted island with only a disc of ten matches and three segments on hand. A disc that features surprises, violence, and an American hero.
Old Baes
The Baes are back in town here to talk about the biggest weekend in the history of wrestling, who are the DDT four pillars, & of course G1 all G1 all the time

Together they discuss the larger trends of the decade, how fandom has changed during that time, and the cases of Negro Casas, Sasha Banks, Sami Callihan, and everyone in between. Join the discussion on the WDKW forums: https://wdkwrestling.freeforums.net/
Dr Wagner & Mr Payne
Back with some big talk about GCW backyard show & the opening night of G1 in Dallas. Plus lots of random thoughts about other stand outs for 2019 wrestler of the year.
2019...Gonna Need You To Pick It Up
This week on We Don't Know Wrestling, Quentin Moody joins me to discuss where we are at for the 2019 WDKW100. Fair to say...the year hasn't made enough of impression quite yet to TRULY say. We talk about what we've enjoyed, who is sticking out, build out some narratives, and I feel about not watching more lucha so far.
Tyler Black Star
back at you with a whole lot of random topics. It takes a bleak turn but if you want to hang with the clowns sometimes you have to drink the tears
Desert Island Comp #4: Chris from IVP Videos
Realizing as I'm typing this that I need to put the first four episodes of this series in the feed, Chris from IVP Videos joins me to talk about the matches he wishes to include on his Desert Island Comp. He is someone that if you have been a fan of wrestling for a certain period of time probably have bought DVDs from to watch some Japanese wrestling. So obviously his list is filled with Japanese wrestling? Listen to this week's episode and find out.
Tacko Fall Paahn Kloub
Tacko Fall Paahn Kloub is here to talk to you about the news of the week especially the sad shit. We talk about dead guys, dead ROH, & dead NJPW fans. We also talk about a good match hidden inside of a bad match on a SUP show and the SCI dream match ups.

Dad Bod Squad
****FIXED**** #Squad goals we talk about NJPW Dominion. Is Jericho the best lucha brawler in the world? Run down the G1 blocks and probably say something inappropriate
Brexiteers
Just when you thought it was dead it’s back the Brexiteers are here to talk about the 2019 MoTY but it’s not the one you’re thinking of (it’s from NXT?)
100th Episode Clip Show Extravaganza
We Don't Know Wrestling has been going on way too long. I've definitely been podcasting for too long. This whole thing is a lot. So I pulled together some of my favorite clips from the past few years to celebrate this dumb milestone. These probably aren't everyone's favorite moments but these are the moments that made me smile, chuckle, ugly cry while going through the old episodes. Hope you enjoy.
Wokebaes
The Wokebaes are here to bring you even more hot Mox talk and they even throw down some *s on AEW Double or Nothing for all the match rating lovers

Meltdown M8s

Couldn't Be Bothered With Wrestling
Doing what we do whenever there is a sizable shift in the We Don't Know Wrestling structure...Tanner and me have a conversation that poorly sets the tone for what's to follow. We talk about movies, games, CONTENT, and wrestling...I guess. We had fun and hope you have fun listening to it.
Yarding for Dummies by Dummies
CLASSIC EPISODE!
Back to the archives to dig up this gem featuring Andrew and Brock discussing the sweetest science, backyard wrestling. Discussing the community around the sport and going through a list of matches that they sent me. All the content was bananas.

Yarding for Dummies by Dummies
MDK Gang Affiliated
Kevin Brown joins me in an episode dedicated to The King. Thank you Nick Gage for all that you have bestowed upon us. The grace you give can never be repaid. We were made in your image. We also talk about what's happening in pro wrestling right now which may involve wrestling being a cesspool.
Not So Halloween Episode
JR Goldberg joins me this week for what was going to be a Halloween episode and then breaks down to talk of Necro Butcher and CZW being weird. This is why I don't plan anything.
Lost Indie Men of WDKW100
Dylan Hales joins me this week to talk a few chosen men who were neglected on a prior episode on WDKW100 candidates. That includes Fred "Don't Make Jokes About My Height" Yehi, Big Mike and his son, and the wild man of indie wrestling Joey Janela. Mostly it is Dylan making the case and then me making fart noises. He's watched more wrestling than I ever will so don't trust me, trust him.
Let's Talk About It (By Myself)
I went solo this episode...because I didn't put much effort into getting a guest this week. I go over thirty minutes and I keep running my glass jaw. I talk about a cool podcast and cool future wrestling website. I talk about a three-year-old project. I talk about the WDKW100. I talk about CODE OF CONDUCT. I let you know I'm selfish. Good stuff all around.
WDKW100 Joshi Primer
Knew I needed to do a joshi primer for the WDKW100 but knew I only wanted to do it with one person so glad Alex could come on to discuss some of the candidates for 2017. Granted, you can find a lot more information on her Beginner's Guide to 2017 Joshi but I like to think the show does add some different perspectives for you.
If you could leave a rating and review on iTunes that would be great!
ERRORWDKW100
Skylar joins me this week to reminisce about the greatest wrestling podcast ever, chat about his WDKW100 progress for 2018, and why computers are bad.
2016 is The Wrestling Twilight Zone
Kris Zellner joined Tanner and me on the 15th episode of We Don't Know Wrestling. This took place shortly after Wrestle Kingdom 10, learning there was a NJPW exodus to WWE. Please tell me what else happened on this show. There is a lot of NJPW & banter frankly.
Nice
Original formula is back as Tanner and I shoot the breeze on the 69th episode of We Don't Know Wrestling. Very philosophical episode as we discuss our growth as not just fans but people. Little light on wrestling as we do briefly talk about the weekend #BigMike is participating in. Not much else though. To imagine this was supposed to be a Halloween episode.
Problematic WDKW100 Ballot Breakdown
After a hiatus brought on by the WDKW100, it only seemed fitting that the return featured a discussion about Dylan Hale's WDKW100 ballot. We break down his ballot block by block as well as discuss how some of his picks fit into the big picture. After hours of discussing the ballot itself, we also talk some overall thoughts on the list and what could potentially be improved next year.
Wrestling is Full of Terrible Humans
Can't shake him, Tanner is back with first time guest Tom Batista of Military Industrial Suplex fame. A real slow burn of an episode as elements of the race for the Senate in Alabama seeps into the episode. We obviously disgust wrestling and how it is confirmed terrible. Truly nauseating.
Bloody Trolls and Skeletons of WDKW100 2017
When I decided to do a podcast on the best lucha wrestlers of 2017 I knew there was only one person for the job. When they couldn't make it I was glad JR Goldberg could come on (jk jk). We go through the weird year lucha has had, talking up our favorite blood hungry mythical creatures of the year. Talk about the change in accessibility in lucha as well.
LaSalle, Heckuva Territory
Indie wrestling in the United States can be a bit of a mixed bag. A lot of it feels the same, at least the wrestling that gets noted on social media. Then some you get some weird concept promotions. Occasionally you get actually good pro wrestling companies that use mostly local talent. AAW in 2017 had two territories that used a mix of strategy 1 & strategy 2, with each territory having a different split. On this episode of We Don't Know Wrestling, I talk to Bucky, first-time guest
WDKEVOLVE 10: Johnny Gargano is a Truly Miserable Professional Wrestler
THE AMERICAN KORAKUEN HALL IS GOING TO DIE AND GABE IS GOING TO BE THE LAST ONE IN ITS CARCASS!
Was this show enjoyable? Who is to say. A show that makes you question reality at times. As if you have stepped into an alternate dimension where wrestling is a SPORT and Ahtu isn't the sexiest man in the building. This is...A Tribute to The Arena.
WDKEVOLVE 9: Religion
WE ARE BACK AND WE ARE BRINGING BACKUP! Bucky and Sam are joined by Phil Schneider, of Segunda Caida fame. We talk about the one-and-only EVOLVE 9. The show where Gabe embraces his love of the ABC Family teen dramas of the time. Also, orange tights. LISTEN TO OUR THOUGHTS ON POSSIBLY BUT ALSO POSSIBLY NOT THE BEST/WORST EVOLVE SHOW YET!
Psychology is Dead: The Art of Storytelling
In this episode from October 2016, Quentin Moody (@qt_moody) is joined by Chad Campbell (@bigboysplaywcw) of PWO/PTBN to talk about their favorite stories in wrestling history.
WDKEVOLVE 4: Hard Truths
Bucky and Sam drop the hammer. We tell you the facts about EVOLVE 4: Danielson vs. Fish. As true wrestling pundits, we inform you who is Actually Good and who is Actually Bad. You might not like it but you will respect it.
WDKEVOLVE 1: Wrestling Genious vs. Big Davey
Monumentous occasion as myself and Bucky hop on Skype Call for the second time ever. This is the first episode in a series called WE DON'T KNOW EVOLVE!!! (Gabe's a racist). Very excited to go through each and every EVOLVE show up until the death of the promotion. We start with Evolve 1, where we get to lay witness to the prestigious EVOLVE Singles Division and Tommy Dreamer doing his pose. Humble beginnings for the premier indie going today. Give this a listen!
WDKEVOLVE 2: EVOLVE 2: Hero vs. Hidaka
Welcome to the improbable first edition of We Don't Know EVOLVE 2: EVOLVE 2: Hero vs. Hidaka. Myself, Sam, and Bucky are back to give you the most in-depth retrospective on EVOLVE 2. The lows and the lesser lows. Big kicks, little shrimps. Gabe came to have fun and we are along for the ride. Lenny Leonard's feet.
WDKW100 2018 TEMPERATURE CHECK
This week Evan the Soccer Guy and Quentin Moody join me for a little roundtable discussion of undervalued wrestlers this year they deserve some shine. Folks that when putting together YOUR WDKW100 ballot should at least have been thought about. From Japan to Mexico to the US & UK indies, we tackle it. Buckle in for takes
PS Shane Strickland sucks eggs
WDKEVOLVE 3: #BringBackLennyLenardsFeet
Wrestling is an art form. It isn't about the MOVES. It about the STORYTELLING outside the ring. NOTHING quite personifies that than EVOLVE 3: Rise or Fall. The STORIES. WOW!!! Gorgeous George would LOVE EVOLVE 3: Rise or FALL. Bring back those FEET!
Psychology is Dead: The Art of Escalation and Commitment
In this episode from August 2016, Quentin Moody (@qt_moody) and Timothy Buechner (@luchaundead) discuss the recently-wrapped feud between Zack Sabre Jr and Jonathan Gresham.
WDEVOLVE 8: EVOLVE 8: Style Battle #1
The origin story. The event the gave birth to a promotion (a promotion that was left to pull up its bootstraps after Gabe abanded it like I assume abandons everyone in his life once he squeezes him for all they're worth). The event that gave us stories that we will tell our children. The event that gave us Lenny truly embodying DADDY in such a full frontal way that I'm unsure how anyone under the age of 18 would be allowed to legally buy this show.
Style Battle baby
WDKEVOLVE 5: The Ballad of Brad Allen
Brad...you were too good for this world. You gave us so much pleasure. A performer unlike any other. We never get to become too close to you. The only thing Gabe allows us to know is your mom died from cancer on 9/11. For that, I'm sorry.
This show is the epitome of the Booking Genious's prowess but is only 8 matches, so how bad could it be?
WDKEVOLVE 6: Six Shows, Why?
Webster's Dictionary defines evolve as:
to develop gradually:to evolve a scheme.
to give off or emit, as odors or vapors.
Gape Sapolsky defines EVOLVE as emitting complete and utter garbage every which way. EVOLVE 6 is a staggering show. It recontextualizes the quality of the prior shows. I have never understood booking less than I do now. Bucky and I came in thinking "bad booking but good wrestling we can work with that" and that...that's not what we are getting. We get STORIES base
WDKEVOLVE 7: Lenny. Where'd you go? I miss you so.
LENNY!

We Came For Hot Takes
Sam and Tanner are joined by the ignorant Case Lowe and the kind Garrett Kidney. There's wrestling talk somewhere on this show. Sam lets Case talk about Dragon Gate which leads to some instant regret. We try and figure out how being a well-adjusted TNA fan is a possibility*. Video games are also discussed cause Bloodborne is the GOTY.
*Not sure it is really possible.

Shoot Week Never Dies
Pro wrestling dead but banter is alive and well. TJ Hawke, Devon Hales, and Dylan Hales join Sam in what can only be described as a complete whirlwind of disaster. The foundation for the Roman Reigns political hit theory is laid. Burials are made. The holes are dug so deep that you can see the middle of the earth. There is also a series of randomness that I can't possibly explain.
Scumbags & Sam
Hot takes aplenty on this week's We Don't Know Wrestling. Some "strong" opinions on Sasha Banks and Zack Sabre Jr. from this week's guest Rob Reid. A man of podcasts even if he maybe shouldn't be. Same goes for Tanner really. We almost witness the first death of someone on We Don't Know Wrestling. Who? Find out by listening!
Pro Wrestling Eh-Rilla
Tanner and Sam are joined by TJ Hawke this week to talk...to talk. AJPW comes up which of course leads to us talking about how cool Akebono is. As with all modern wrestling discussions dictate we barrel through a tirade of promotions that are not booked well or at least booked in a manner that we would consider enjoyable. Survivor Series is certainly a show that is happening on Sunday if you were curious.
Not My Cousin Vinnie
Sam came up with a terrible name for a much better episode of We Don't Know Wrestling. Sam and Tanner are joined by Vinnie Masaro (@SnoringElbow) to talk wrestling. Also video games but mostly wrestling. You've got the Seth Rollins injury, PWG holding events, and I don't know, #connectthedots.
Not The Greatest Podcast Ever
Don't let the name fool ya. Sam brings on the mysterious Tanner and JR Goldberg for this week's podcast dedicated to the Greatest Wrestler Ever Project over at ProWrestlingOnly.com. It is a real hoot and kind of informative thanks to JR. We talk #1s, we talk gaps, and we talk some real pro wrestling. You better believe that. The most important thing you come away from this podcast with is that lucha is a real blast. Yep, that's it. Sam shows no bias in this description.
NOTE: If you wa
Dragon Gate Sucks Eggs W/ TH
Sam is back with not Tanner since he has some car trouble. This forced good old Case Lowe to come in the clutch. Our special guest this week is Thomas Holzerman from The Wrestling Blog. We talk James Storm in NXT, how stupid I am for not remembering what the TNA World Title Series is, and much much more.
