1x1 - WWF Wrestlemania I (1985)

May 13, 2011

• Billboard Gag: Wrestle Hulk Hogan! NO JOBS AVAILABLE (a much better version) • The show was supposed to be a 4-man podcast but Steve (V1) couldn’t make it. The recording had already been postponed twice and was in danger of being dropped completely, so we went ahead with 3. • Most of the opening history lesson was re-jiggered from an unaired pilot reviewing Black Saturday. • Wrestling is Awesome music is a mix of Miz’s theme and the 8-bit cover by I Fight Dragons. • Wrestling is Awesome: Hulk Hogan in The A-Team and Gremlins 2.

1x2 - WWF The Wrestling Classic (1986)

May 19, 2011

• Billboard Gag: Where’s Randy Savage? IN THE DANGER ZONE! • This show was actually recorded before the WM1 episode to improve editing skills, and since it was a mish-mash of matches, the guys had no interest in covering it. • This is the only episode to feature the original theme song (Metroid Metal – Intro), as it was completed before the WrestleMania 1 show. • “Neo Geo (Inst)” was used at the start of the show, instead of the end credits. • The Scott Putski reference is from Review-a-Wai, the main inspiration of the show. • The “Randy Savage for HoF” segment is closer to the original “Gauntlet” current affairs segment I had for the show.

1x3 - Randy Macho Man Savage Tribute

May 30, 2011

• A roundtable tribute was originally recorded but it descended into Stephanie jokes, so it was deemed unsuitable to publish. • This version has added video splicey.

1x4 - WWF Wrestlemania II (1986)

June 6, 2011

• Billboard Gag: Macho logo (no gag, as Randy Savage had recently passed) • First show to feature Steve (V1) • Much like early Botchamanias, the original idea was to have a Macho promo before every episode, as seen here. • Macho Promo: A Champion’s Perogative (All Star Wrestling March 1st, 1986). Macho promos were supposed to start as many episodes as possible (just like early Botchamanias) • First show to feature the Macho Man title card. • Wrestling is Awesome: Randy Savage in Spider-Man 1 (2002)

1x5 - WWF Wrestlemania III (1987)

June 15, 2011

• Billboard Gag: Multi-colour Cena – Buy My Shit! • Last episode to feature Neo (Niall) and Mr. OOC (who’d return on episode 10) • This show features our most divisive viewpoints, regarding Steamboat/Savage & Hogan/Andre. • Macho Promo: Cuppa Coffee in the Bigtime, yeah! (Prime Time Wrestling, March 23rd, 1987) • Wrestling is Awesome: Jesse Ventura in Predator (1987)

1x6 - WWF Survivor Series 1987

June 27, 2011

• Billboard Gag: Twitter Idiot Triple Threat! (Matt Hardy replaced Kurt Angle as he had said something stupid right before launch) • Pre-ambles now done “live” during recordings instead of taped afterwards. • First show to feature just 2 hosts (Jay and V1) …The Two Man Power Trip! • Macho Promo: And the Beat Goes On (Superstars, September 19th 1987) • Wrestling is Awesome: Billy Gunn in Sabrina the Teenage Witch

1x7 - WWF Royal Rumble 1988

July 12, 2011

• Billboard Gag: The Hebners: The Original Twin Magic • Both YouTube and Blip had absolutely none of the Glamour Girls “Golden Girls” theme song. • Macho Promo: I couldn’t find a time-frame suitable one so I went with my favourite Honky Tonk promo instead. • First episode to feature a bonus extra review (SNME Hogan vs Andre) • Wrestling is Awesome: Christian in Dark Rising (2007)

1x8 - WWF Wrestlemania IV (1988)

November 6, 2011

• Billboard Gag: Seven Year Rule: Everything is new again! • Custom intro: First proper one – “Back to the Future” parody. “We’re Back” because the show was on hiatus for 4 months! • No Macho promo here – WWE DVDs didn’t have Macho promos from the upcoming eras so I used promos from the PPV or whatever I could find. • The worst PPV in history according to us. Because it’s 4 hours, 16 matches, 15 of which are shit. Time limit draws and pins from a knee to the back? Yep. This PPV almost made us quit the show! • Wrestling is Awesome: Kevin Nash as Shredder in TMNT 2

1x9 - WWF SummerSlam 1988

November 28, 2011

• Custom intro: SNME-style • Billboard Gag: Let “A Happening” Commence! The Monsoon audio was used to harken our HAPPENING review! • Included WWF WrestleFest footage (before & after the main event!) • Wrestling is Awesome: Bret Hart in The Simpsons

1x10 - WWF Survivor Series 1988

November 29, 2011

• Custom Intro & Wrestling is Awesome: Jesse Ventura in The Running Man • Billboard Gag: Sin Cara Cock T-Shirt • First show back with OOC! • First use of the “Christmas” backdrop for the Macho logo. • Sorry about the audio quality. We decided to record it sitting on the couch instead of at my table, and being so far away from the mic it sounds like we’re on the moon! I didn’t cop it until after recording Piledriver VHS.

1x16 - WWF WrestleMania VI

June 28, 2012

• Opening Promo: Christian does his Ultimate Warrior impression • Custom Intro: Super Street Fighter 2 • No “Acceptable in the 80s” song – since we’re now in the 90s (after the “90s” gag from the last episode) the thought was to just do custom intros now. After a few episodes, fans noticed and got upset, so I added both in starting at WrestleMania VII) • Wrestling is Awesome: The Ultimate Confession

August 29, 2012

• Custom Intro: South Park/Go Back to the 90s, Ultimate Warrior – Superstars of Wrestling • Billboard Gag: None • After a short hiatus, we resume with better sourcing, audio, editing, compression and show format techniques.
