Before we get started with our normal show, we bring on Figure Four Online editor and contributor Bryan Rose to talk about WWE 2K22. He gives us his thoughts on the new game as well as expectations for AEW’s game that’s coming out in the fall.
John and I then review both AEW Dynamite and NXT. Dynamite was a quality wrestling heavy show, including the sleeper match of the night between Team Taz and Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland, a main event that made the hot crowd happy, and more. NXT’s show was more of a throwaway until we got to the gauntlet match for the Tag Team titles which was very good.

Continuing our 100 darkest moments in pop culture series, this week’s DragonKing Dark takes a look back at the video game crash of 1983.
It was a moment in time where subpar games were being produced en masse as a cash grab during a home video game boom. Juan Nunez wrote a tremendous article about this crash (and the one that preceded it) for When It Was Cool and this is that story.

On this week’s DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, it’s the debut of a new series looking at the history of pro wrestling at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Perhaps the most famous arena in the world, MSG has changed quite a bit over the years and we will talk about the venue’s different owners and locations as well.
We begin by going back to the original Gilmour’s Gardens (soon to be MSG) and the first wrestling star there: Andre Christol and the great tournament of 1875.
It’s a special Sunday edition of Speak Now Pro Wrestling as I review not one but two shows in a super fun, lively and opinionated podcast.

Nothing is free. Everything has a cost, including music.
Our series of 100 of the darkest moments in pop culture history continues with an entry you might not expect.
In the late 1990s through early 2000s, file sharing services like Napster and Limewire were all the rage. People justified stealing music by pointing out the hypocrisy and lavish indulgences of the big music companies. But the artists were caught in the crossfire and the music industry changed, and not necessarily for the better.
On this week’s DragonKing Dark, we look at how the rise of Napster and file sharing both paved the way for streaming and podcasting but almost killed the music business at the same time.
On a new Left My Wallet, I talk with Hart family member and wrestling historian Ross Hart.
Ross has done it all in the business from wrestling, booking, promoting, reffing to even selling tickets and refreshments for his father’s Stampede Wrestling.
He joins the show to talk about the current state of the NHL, his Calgary Flames, who he believes is the greatest hockey player ever, and why Canada needs more NHL teams.
We then talk about the legendary Hart family flag football games that included Dynamite Kid and how he was unstoppable on the gridiron. He also talks about the rivalry between Bruce and Bret and the competition among other wrestlers and pro football players.
He then talks about how Dynamite Kid changed the entire wrestling landscape, how he came to Stampede Wrestling, why he is the most influential wrestler of the last 50 years and the stories of going from Stampede to WWF.
He also talks about working for World of Sport, wrestling in front of 20,000 people in his first match, working in Stampede and then some of the greats that he has been in the ring with. Finally, he discusses some of his favorite workers from today and what he sees for the business moving forward.
This is a fun and very informative conversation with a true wrestling historian who comes from wrestling royalty.
It’s a Pacific Rim tradition when Fumi Saito and Dave Meltzer get together and give their overall thoughts on Wrestle Kingdom.
In talking about Wrestle Kingdom 16, we focus specifically on the main events and the Tanahashi-KENTA match. Is NJPW relying too much on Americanized tricks and shortcuts? Is that what the audience wants from New Japan?
We also talk about NOAH, Stardom, Strong Kobayashi and more. Just click below to listen.
