Back in 1998, Mick Foley stopped by Gallagher on TSN. It is very Canadian and I love it. The Mickster stops by as WWF Champion to answer some questions and have a good time. He even talks about Halftime Heat! I’ve been out of the loop for a while. Do fun shows like this still […]

WrestleCrap ·

2024/04/13

The talk of the wrestling world this week seems to be AEW’s decision to air backstage footage of the All In confrontation between CM Punk and Jack Perry. It’s led to folks seemingly losing their minds over something that lasted approximately 10 seconds and was honestly, pretty boring, especially with no audio. To which I […]

Never pictured Booker T as a hybrid guy, but who am I to argue with Howard Finkel ? And I do have to say a wood-paneled station wagon is kinda perfect for Jeff Hardy. Maybe this isn’t the worst WWE game ever made. Oh who am I kidding, of course it is.
