79 - Tow Bayley and Lightning Charlotte

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2022/08/21

The episode of NXT that originally aired on November 20th, 2014, isn't exactly a four-course meal — more like a bunch of single-serving h'orderves followed by an absolutely massive and sumptuous dessert. But there's still plenty to talk about in the early parts of the episode (Bayley getting advice from Charlotte that she's definitely going to ignore, the Vaudevillains going weirdly problematic on us all of a sudden, and a temporal dick-measure contest between Bull Dempsey and Baron Corbin) before

78 - The Kayfabening (feat. Neal Butler)

2022/08/06

At long last, the moment has come! To cover the episode of NXT that originally aired on November 13th, 2014, we are joined by none other than MeganBob's husband, Neal Butler! Now, this is normally where we put the whole bulleted list of things we talk about on the episode, but to be honest, we mostly just talk about Finn Balor, who is ridiculously hot. Actually pretty much everyone on this episode is ridiculously hot. But especially Finn Balor! Our theme song is called "Learnbuckle" and it was

77 - Just Show Me The Package

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2022/07/23

The episode of NXT that originally aired on November 6th, 2014, has many things to recommend it (most of which happen backstage) but we only have eyes for the debuting Finn Balor and his omnipresent dick. We dare you to look at anything else when he's on-screen, which fortunately is only at the end of the episode, so at least we have a few other things to talk about. Some of those things include: Packages (the video kind, not the dick kind, pervs) But also very much the dick kind, if that wasn't

76 - Night And Hamburgers (feat. Troy McClain)

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2022/07/09

He doesn't actually appear on the episode of NXT that originally aired on October 30th, 2014, but he's here to talk about it with us, and we couldn't be happier! And by "he," we mean former NXT wrestler AJ Ryder, aka Troy McClain! AJ joins us for the entire show, breaking down Sami Zayn's latest redemption roadblocks, Hideo Itami's inexplicable decision making, and Emma's temporary return to the show. He also discusses his journey into (and out of) pro wrestling, pulls back the curtain on his

75 - Booty-Calling Gravity

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2022/06/25

It's nearly inconceivable, but we have reached 75 episodes! As MeganBob quite astutely points out, that's three quarters of the way to 100 (the numbers don't lie)! There's only one way to celebrate such a milestone: watching Adrian Neville tell Sami Zayn "We all know you can't win the big one." Ouch. Sick Shire burn, bro. Of course, that's not the only thing that happens on the episode of NXT that originally aired on October 23rd, 2014. Other topics of conversation include: The Continued Adventures

74 - Taste The Futch (feat. Annie Craton)

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2022/06/11

We have finally arrived at the episode of NXT that originally aired on October 16th, 2014. And that means that we have finally arrived at the official beginning of Sami Zayn's Road to Redemption! So naturally, we brought in Annie Craton of Crooked Russian Cam, because she knows basically nothing about wrestling. And it's a blast. Topics of conversation include: Mysterious wrestling cartoons Wrestling matches as food dishes Team Thicc (sp?) "Hi Becky, I'm gay" The debut of Blue Pants Alex Riley

Wait, Where's Episode 74?

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2022/05/29

Hi all, we are so sorry, but unfortunately there is no new episode of The NXT Wrestling Fan this week. We hope that after listening to our explanation, you'll understand and forgive us, and we promise that in two weeks, you will have Episode #74 in your hands, and we will be back to normal from there (except for the fact that every episode for a while is going to be a BANGER). Thank you so much for continuing to listen as we navigate our increasingly insane lives!

73 - Size Differences Matter

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2022/05/14

Episode #73 is here to give you a big 'ol hug, which you probably need after watching the episode of NXT that originally aired on October 9th, 2014, aka "The One Where Sami Loses to Titus O'Neill." Yes, that's a thing that happened. It's an outrage. But of course, it needed to happen. Also in this episode: MeganBob's secret "large people tossing around small people" fetish, revealed A truly bizarre Mojo Rawley finish that's only partially explained by his injury Full Sail goes deathly silent

72 - The Passion Of The Kick

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2022/04/30

Episode #72 is here and coming in hot, and honestly, if this one doesn't make you a fan of our show, you might be out of opportunities. Just like Tyson Kidd on the episode of NXT that originally aired on October 2nd, 2014! Highlights include: Selling on offense, explained (and demonstrated by Bayley) The collective noun for a group of referees The Continued Adventures of Jason Jordan, Wrestling Detective We need to know absolutely everything about Troy McClain Something is changing inside Adrian

71 - The Eyebrows Make It Weird

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2022/04/16

Even getting our heads shaved and having to put on terrible wigs wouldn't be enough to stop us from covering the episode of NXT that originally aired on September 25th, 2014, in which Jason Albert takes a stand for bald people everywhere! Also on this episode: The maturation of the Bayley character Charlotte is apparently a babyface now Why MeganBob isn't always enthralled by women's wrestling A brief conversation about wrestling video games Enzo's pursuit of Carmella remains gross and hard to

70 - Is It Over? It It Safe?

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2022/04/02

Takeover: Fatal 4-Way is in the rearview mirror, which means it's time for the fallout! There's a lot going on in the episode of NXT that originally aired on September 18th, 2014, and there's a lot going on in our episode covering it, including: The NXT Championship continues to be very much the One Ring The Ascension are finally in a storyline Tyson Kidd is weirdly over Titus O'Neill and his ridiculously tiny briefs arrive in NXT Carmella wants a job Miles has a lot to say about SHIMMER Women

69 - The Forbidden Four (feat. Elle Collins)

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2022/03/19

Nice! And fittingly, the Takeover Fatal Four-Way that originally aired on September 11th, 2014 was also very nice! Having Elle Collins along to join us made it even better yet! So what's in store on this chonker of an episode? Well produced stuff versus chaotic dumbness Losing to a random guy Enzo Amore is a scumbag THE FORBIDDEN DOOR Soft-Butch Jock Girl How pregnant can a moment be? A case for not kicking out The Ur Peepums Follow Elle Collins on Twitter! Our theme song is called "Learnbuckle"

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2022/03/05

We've almost arrived at Takeover 2: Takeover Boogaloo, and while the go-home show this time around features all four NXT title contenders in action, another confrontation between Bayley and Charlotte, and the finals of the #1 contender's tag team tournament, the real main event is a trip to a hair salon. Other subjects that come up as we cover the episode of NXT that originally aired on September 4th, 2014, include: No, seriously, Enzo and Cass go to a hair salon, and you have to watch it The

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2022/02/19

No matter how well you hide, you can't escape the penetrating gaze of the episode of NXT that originally aired on August 28th, 2014. Or at least, our coverage of it! Topics of conversation include: There's a new NXT General Manager and it's WILLIAM BY GOD REGAL Sarotiral speculation The women's division is actually getting a real feud for once, finally MeganBob is strangely fascinated by the upcoming Mojo Rawley/Bull Dempsey match Sami Zayn feels the NXT Championship whisper to him, and the world

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2022/02/05

Apologies for the sound quality in Episode #66 - beyond some technical difficulties we had in recording this one, Miles was also recovering from COVID, so he might not sound entirely like his usual foul-mouthed anti-capitalist self. Fortunately, we have some back-up in the form of Kam Servo, who's here to bring her unique perspective on wrestling to the episode of NXT that originally aired on August 21st, 2014! Topics of conversation include: WWE's Saturday morning cartoon The worst thing that

2022/01/22

Pro wrestling, everyone. It is very good. Well, okay, sometimes it sucks. But when it's good, it's extremely good, and the episode of NXT that originally aired on August 14th, 2014, is an extremely good episode, with extremely good wrestling. Topics covered over the course of this 90-minute love-fest include: Adrian Neville's thighs Bull Dempsey's butt The Gordon Sisters Boxing An absolutely incredible championship main event A slightly less incredible but overall more important Sasha/Bayley match

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2022/01/08

We're all about that human connection this week as we launch into the #1 contender's tag team tournament, which officially kicks off on the episode of NXT that originally aired on August 7th, 2014! But that's not the only element of this episode that gave Miles and MeganBob those good mirror neuron feels. Other subjects of our conversations about togetherness and empathy include: Catching up with Jason Jordan, Wrestling Detective (you truly do not understand how far we're willing to take this bit)

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2021/12/25

Check it out, Episode #63 happens to fall exactly on Christmas Day! Not that this episode has anything to do with Christmas or any winter holiday in any way, shape, or form - we're covering the episode of NXT that originally aired on July 31st, 2014, which is about as far from winter as it gets, and because we record in advance and don't really think too hard about our release dates beyond "every other Saturday," the word "holiday" isn't mentioned at any point. But regardless of all that, we'd still

62 - Life Is Brisk

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2021/12/11

The episode of NXT that originally aired on July 24th, 2014, is kind of a weird one, and not weird in that delightful, "we're just a bunch of theater nerds who happen to also like working out, check out our improv" kind of way. More like a "why is nothing silly or fun happening, this isn't the NXT we're used to" kind of way. But will we let this episode's slightly sub-par quality prevent us from having a good time covering it? Come on now, you know us better than that! We have tons of stuff to tell

The NXT Wrestling Fan ·

2021/11/27

Our investigation into wrestling has had us hot on the trail of the episode of NXT that originally aired on July 17th, 2014 only to find out that the true culprit was episode #61 all along! Other shocking revelations discussed in this episode include: THE VAUDEVILLAINS! Hey yo, Vic. Preach. An ending messier than that of Game of Thrones The Slug-it-out Sherlock Strikes! Tangents about storytelling Tyson! Chicken! Every circus needs clowns Lucas is wonderful! Go check out his work
