Snark Marks, A Very Funny Podcast ·

2022/12/19

Vince Russo came up with some doozies during his time on wrestling creative teams (shout out to the Bat Man), but perhaps his worst idea was when he suggested that the product should be real. A group of professional wrestlers, nearly all of whom have no real organized fighting training or experience, were going to actually fight on a show filled with works and fakery. Ultimately, bunch of flailing, exhausted, injured sports entertainers stunk up the ring to no ultimate benefit for anybody carrying

2022/12/12

There really has never been anybody like Andy Kaufman. From bombing on purpose in front of packed comedy clubs to touring as his lounge singer alter ego, Kaufman's style of entertainment is only called "comedy" because we don't have a word for it. He was a massive admirer of professional wrestling, and his dedication to kayfabe in every venture made him a natural when he decided to become the Inter-Gender Wrestling Champion of the World. This led to one of the greatest feuds in the history of

2022/12/04

1989 was a tumultuous year for the NWA. With Dusty Rhodes leaving as WCW booker, a power vacuum was created that eventually led to a booking-by-committee situation. This could have led to a bad year product-wise, but at least at the big shows, the talent on the roster and the quality of their work produced a fantastic year for wrestling. For some reason, they decided to end the year with two non-title round robin tournaments. Was it a good idea? No! Was there some fun to be had? Kind of, I guess! We

Being that the score was not settled at Halloween Havoc (Settling the Score), Ric Flair and Terry Funk decided to, once and for all, settle the score. This time, they will face off in an "I Quit" match. Also, Jim Cornette seems to be paying a lot of attention to his new tag team The Dynamic Dudes, and the Midnight Express is not exactly jazzed about it. This PPV was short, fun, and ultimately score settling. First, the Snark Marks talk about Black Friday shopping and share a few memories of working

It's the first Halloween Havoc! Crazy ass Terry Funk invaded WCW to challenge World Champion Ric Flair, but his first attempt went south at WrestleWar. He's back, this time with The Great Muta by his side, to challenge Flair and Sting in the god dang THUNDERDOME! This show also includes some of the best Lex Luger work we have ever covered, discussion on the ease of identifying the "mysterious" Doom pairing, and Rick Steiner's face ONCE AGAIN being in the doo doo. We begin by discussing our favorite

1989 was the year of Ric Flair. After three five star matches with Ricky Steamboat, Flair moved on to perhaps his kindred spirit: Terry Funk. There is no way this feud will be anything other than classic, with two of the best performers in the history of wrestling facing off for the most prestigious title in the world. This PPV is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time, with intrigue from top to bottom (plus they actually let Rick Steiner win a match while only getting a tiny bit of

Episode 76: WrestleWar '89: Music City Showdown!

Snark Marks, A Very Funny Podcast ·

2022/11/06

WrestleWar 1989 answered the age-old question "can you have too much of a good thing?" Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat faced off for their third consecutive five-star match, but the matchup is beginning to feel stale. In fairness, it doesn't help that we watched them in consecutive weeks rather than waiting months like wrestling fans did. It was, however, the best part of a mostly flaccid wrestling program. Michael Hayes does some classic PS stuff and we get a Bam Bam Gordy appearance, and we also get

2022/10/31

In our second installment from our NWA/WCW 1989 series, we go down to the bayou for Clash of the Champions 6. After Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat's epic 5-star battle at Chi-Town Rumble, Flair gets his rematch in a two out of three falls match. There are only 4 matches on Peacock's version of this event, and aside from the opener which featured the Midnight Express facing off against the Samoan Swat Team (featuring Fatu before he was Fat), there isn't much else to write home about. Oh, except the

2022/10/23

Dusty has long wanted to introduce Andrew to the NWA's 1989 offerings, and we are finally taking the plunge. Things were in a transitional (and sometimes tumultuous) phase following a few changes to WCW including the firing of Dusty Rhodes as booker, but they still had Flair, and they still offered a brand of wrestling that appealed to the classic fan: the characters were believable, the wrestling was believable, and Rick Steiner was in the building. In this episode, we discuss the Chi-Town Rumble

2022/10/16

Tales From The Territories is Vice's new wrestling series; it's essentially a spinoff from Dark Side of the Ring. In this episode, Jerry Jarrett, Jeff Jarrett, Jerry Lawler, Jimmy Hart, and Dutch Mantel sit at a table and trade stories from their time working the Memphis territory. The territory was ran by Jerry Jarrett and built around Jerry Lawler, and it is widely considered to be one of the most influential wrestling organizations in American history. Andrew and Dusty watched the episode and

Episode 72: Summerslam 1991 and Andrew Met Ice Cube!

2022/10/10

Full disclosure: I (Andrew) write these descriptions. As much as I would like to make this entire description about the fact that I met worldwide entertainment icon Ice Cube, I understand that's unrealistic. The more important thing about this episode is that we watched Summerslam 1991. Randy Savage and Elizabeth tied the knot in the ring, and Jake The Snake and the Undertaker did the honors of turning the wedding into a wrestling wedding, causing chaos at the reception. Also on this show is a

On episode 58, we first ventured into the world of Roddy Piper acting when Andrew's brother Jacob joined us as we discussed They Live. During that episode, we discovered that Piper was in another movie during that time in his life, and this one might be a bit wacky. Hell Comes to Frogtown is the story of Sam Hell, who, after a devastating nuclear war, is tasked with repopulating the earth with humans during their war against frog/human mutant hybrids. It's sexier than it sounds. First, we discuss

Dusty is getting married this weekend (somehow), so to give him time to prepare we decided to take a week off from recording. In lieu of a new episode, we decided to put together all of our booking shows in one place. Are you a Godwin Championship Wrestling Federation fan, or do you ride with Idell Wrestling Federation? We will be back with a new episode next week! Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @SnarkMarksPod, subscribe to our YouTube channel, and follow Dusty on Twitter @SnarkMarkD! STARTING

Episode 69: Was WCW Uncensored '95 The Worst WCW PPV?

Snark Marks, A Very Funny Podcast ·

2022/09/18

It's been a while since the boys visited some good old fashioned WCW trash. This week, Dusty stumbled upon an article from sportster.com that listed Uncensored 1995 as WCW's worst PPV ever. Andrew sincerely doubted the accuracy of that distinction because Uncensored '95 featured neither the nWo nor Vince Russo's booking. Was the article correct? First (0:00-21:00), we talk about Andrew meeting Kool Moe Dee, the boys not caring about junior college, unfunny t-shirts, Clerks 3, and the new Top

Episode 68: Ric Flair vs Dusty Rhodes and AEW Madness!

Snark Marks, A Very Funny Podcast ·

2022/09/12

Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes were classic wrestling adversaries. The son of a plumber who fought for the common man was always going to clash with the arrogant, self-centered rich man whose shoes cost more than your house. Dusty and Andrew watched 3 classic Rhodes-Flair matches (including Starrcades 1984 and 1985) and a bunch of promos in preparation for getting together and talking about this historic rivalry. The Rhodes-Flair talk is a later in the episode. We talk about Andrew helping to find a

Episode 67: The American Dream Dusty Rhodes

Snark Marks, A Very Funny Podcast ·

2022/09/04

Dusty Rhodes may have been the perfect professional wrestler. He was a guy who the crowd could easily imagine standing next to them in the audience, but who could also make them believe in magic and the power of a dream. Rhodes is perhaps the favorite performer of the Snark Marks, and we spent some time discussing him and his appeal after watching two of the Peacock documentaries about him. Long live the Common Man. Long live the Dream. Long live Dusty Rhodes. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram

Episode 66: The Midnight Express

2022/08/29

Before being the biggest mouth in wrestling podcasting, turns out Jim Cornette spent quite a bit of time as a wrestling manager. His tag team, the Midnight Express, seemed to enjoy success in every wrestling organization they were ever associated with. Andrew, being the second biggest mouth in wrestling podcasting, thought it was only fitting for Dusty, the most loveable man in wrestling podcasting, to school him on what this historic tag team was all about.

Eric Bischoff epitomizes the American experience. If you're good looking and obsessed with sales for some reason, you will be fast tracked up the ladder and given the reigns to something expensive. WWE made a doc about him a few years ago, and we watched it and provided our thoughts on the man who is definitely not the most controversial man in sports entertainment.

2022/08/08

After Wrestlepocalypse: Hubris (Extreme Arrogance In The Eyes of Godwin), Commissioner Idell has seemingly been humbled. He's improved his treatment of his wrestlers, he's been booking more... conventionally, and his threat to the wrestling world seems to be thwarted. GCWF and their strategy of booking great matches and protecting the businesss seems to have proven to be the sustainable model. Maybe, though, like Lord Voldemort, Idell wasn't defeated. Maybe he was just recharging. Follow us on
