This week the Basement has a visitor. We welcome back our guest Steve Mezzano (Count Me Down/The Basement Bar Show) to talk about the Netflix series, "The Wrestlers" and some of the history of Ohio Valley Wrestling. open.spotify.com/episode/5V95...

Coming up Monday on The Dropkick Basement, we take a look back at the Netflix series The Wrestlers featuring the stars of OVW. We know it's a few years old but work with us here, we have to talk about sad Al Snow and his team of "circus" attractions. (His Words). It's fun. Promise.

Hobbsogram wins

Even if you have to use outside interference, I kind of want Hechicero to get a W here. He would be great as a sleeper in that 4 way next week. Plus Orange can take an L and build back. #AEWDynamite

At one point MJF mocked Adam Cole for self tanner right? #AEWDynamite

Speedball is gonna be fun in AEW

How do you not put Will Hobbs in a mask and call him Hobbygram? #AEWDynamite

So help me God if I see anyone from The Callis family during this Kenny segment. #AEWDynamite

AEW vs. WWE is a boring and dumb conversation. WWE's goal is to be be as gigantic as possible. The quality of the show is whatever they think the audience will pay for. AEW is a platform for pro wrestlers to share their art form. I don't want them to be HUGE. I want them to be good. And they are. 🤼

Pro wrestlers are often recruited from traditional sports well before they reach their professional peak but in some cases, it happens after they have tasted success in the pros. This week we talk about the few stand out cross sports athletes in pro wrestling history. #WWERaw

Ricochet needs a bigger bandage. This one is too small #AEWDynamite

Is Max Caster just cosplaying indy run Chuck Taylor? If so I'm interested. #AEWDynamite

Referee Mike Posey with pro wrestling's worst haircut #AEWDynamite

Megan Bayne: a literal Greek goddess Kris Statlander: the Galaxy's greatest alien Thunder Rosa: undead skeleton fighter Penelope Ford: from the Tri-State Area #AEWDynamite

I like how that Director guy played along with TTS. I'm calling her TTS now because spelling is an enormous endeavor. #AEWDynamite

MJF has a double? Can we call him HBO Max? #AEWDynamite

Hear me out, Christian Cage is Yuta's new dad? #AEWDynamite

This Deathriders entrace for Wheeler Yuta is ICONIC. Going from outside, with the beautiful architecture of the building, to in the entrance with the gold designs of the opera house, and then through the doors with the bright lights and the crowd. That was BEAUTIFUL. #AEWDynamite

Yuta's walk in to this Sacramento venue was impressive. That building looks incredible. #AEWDyanamite

In 1994, the WWF was looking to reset their roster with some fresh faces at the top of the card. This week we are resetting that reset in a more spectacular way. Get in the Basement and see how we do. open.spotify.com/episode/3oOn...

I'm about a half hour into the WWE Vault Terry Funk Marathon and it's like going to an upside down classic rock concert. Big hits out of the shoot so far. The casuals can watch and go home early so us Funk-A-Maniacs can enjoy the deep cuts.

Call him a peg warmer !!! #AEWDynamite

No Physicality Chuck Taylor would be a great gimmick. #AEWDynamite

Austin is a Rhodes town. Great reaction to everything Dustin's doing. #AEWDynamite

I think wrestling fans who gossip about the personal lives of the wrestlers are the bottom of the barrel. It’s one thing of the wrestlers post milestones about their own lives and you show support, but listing who is single in a post on instagram is creep level. If you are doing this, knock it off!

This week Tom will break down the end of ECW by taking apart the very last Pay Per View, Guilty as Charged from January 7th 2001. How will he improve it and maybe breathe new life into the land of Extreme. open.spotify.com/episode/4FHr...

It's Rumble season again and time to reflect on history of the Royal Rumble. This week we look back on the Royal Rumble winners and put them in the Tier list. This is a first for us so please let us know if you agree or disagree. #RoyalRumble #WWERaw open.spotify.com/episode/6M6S...

We have opened 2025 and now it's time for the gang to call out what we'd like to see for 2025. All the major Wrestling companies are covered so let's roll into 2025 the right way. #WWEonNetflix #AEW #GCW #ROH #tnawrestling #njpwworld open.spotify.com/episode/01eH...
