It's Zeroes of Wrestling with special guest Alex Sharkey, YAAAAAY! Otherwise known as Captain Idol or idoliside, Sharkey has been doing his own online chronological wrestling history lesson, which is a partial inspiration for ZOW in the first place. Our heroes together face the lowest-rated matches from Slamboree 97, King of the Ring 97, Great American Bash 97, In Your House 16: Canadian Stampede, and Bash at the Beach 97. They discuss the worst version of the worst rest hold, a match where the

Gavin's friend Dan Mullooly stops by as ZOW continues through 1997. This time around, it's all about the lowest-rated matches from WrestleMania 13, Spring Stampede 97, ECW Barely Legal, In Your House 14: Revenge of the Taker, and In Your House 15: Cold Day in Hell. Yes, ECW has finally entered the chat, and it's a doozy. Together, the two discuss such topics as how Ahmed Johnson's sudden injury saved WWF, how it's possible to be both a fake Undertaker AND a fake Rick Rude, how

FAK! You want to play 21? Well, this week, Gavin's going into the danger zone by sending for the man. And by that, I mean Maffew Gregg of Botchamania. JEEZUS! Together, they go through the worst-rated matches from such shows as Royal Rumble 97, Souled Out 97, In Your House 13: Final Four, SuperBrawl VII, and Uncensored 97. Topics include whether or not spending a week in Alcatraz makes your balls invincible, Randy Savage's most underrated outfit, the bizarre realization that Crush has yet to

To celebrate 25 episodes, Gavin has convinced Brighid Kivlehan to be a guest on his show. This is six years after Gavin convinced Brighid to marry him. The husband and wife duo shares a microphone (so sorry about the lack of volume) and talk up the lowest-rated matches from Halloween Havoc 96, Survivor Series 96, World War 3 96, In Your House 12: It's Time, and Starrcade 96. Discussions include why there's a Diesel and a Razor Ramon in both promotions, how one of them looks like a supporting

Kevin Ford, the guy behind CHIKARA Special, stops by to help with five very fun matches that are low on the totem pole for their respective PPVs. For this episode, the shows in question are Hog Wild 96, SummerSlam 96, Fall Brawl 96, In Your House 10: Mind Games, and In Your House 11: Buried Alive. Two of the matches here are genuinely good! Gavin and Kevin seemed to get a kick out of them, at least. Otherwise, discussions include the coolest-looking setting for a wrestling match, how the New Rockers

Imagine actually wanting to be on this show. That's the case for this week's volunteer guest Genericide, who is also the first ZOW guest from across the pond. He and Gavin go through the worst-rated matches from In Your House 8: Beware of Dog, Great American Bash 96, King of the Ring 96, Bash at the Beach 96, and In Your House 9: International Incident. We get a couple matches of big dudes colliding... both of which would have been better a few years earlier. We also get the ZOW debut of

22?! Oh, man! This week, Gavin's guest is prolific podcaster and former Bob Saget flunky Joe Sposto. Only together can they withstand the worst matches from In Your House 6: Rage in the Cage, Uncensored 96, WrestleMania XII, In Your House 7: Good Friends, Better Enemies, and Slamboree 96. Fun fact, one of these shows includes the lowest-rated Ultimate Warrior match of all time! If it actually counts as a match.

Episode 21: Alcatraz Halftime Show

2025/09/24

There are two WWF PPVs and two WCW PPVs in this week's episode, but there's a unique show mixed in there that's such an undertaking that Gavin needs to call on someone he can trust to handle it. Vinny Murphy (Rock Nerd Radio Show) returns to ZOW to help discuss the worst matches from In Your House 5: Season's Beatings, Starrcade 95, CWA Bodyguards vs. Bandits, Royal Rumble 96, and SuperBrawl VI. Granted, for that third one, it's the ONLY match, but that's what makes it so

Hulk Hogan and The Giant are about to do battle in a sumo monster truck match and Gavin needs help talking about it. He doesn't need a partner. He doesn't need a friend. He needs his older BRAH-ther! Geremy Jasper (director of O'Dessa, now on Hulu!) steps into the ring as he and Gavin discuss the lowest-rated matches from In Your House 3: Triple Header, In Your House 4: Great White North, Halloween Havoc 95, Survivor Series 95, and World War 3. Topics include how awesome Bam Bam Bigelow

It's another episode based around bringing in someone who doesn't watch wrestling and making them watch some weird and bad wrestling. This time the guest is Gavin's shoot job coworker Peter McNamara, who was admittedly very nervous when recording. Gavin dooms Peter by having him watch the roughest matches from King of the Ring 95, Bash at the Beach 95, In Your House 2: The Lumberjacks, SummerSlam 95, and Fall Brawl 95. In-between discussions about terrible-looking bearhugs, Peter learns

Hey, look! RD Reynolds from WrestleCrap is here! I know, right? Makes sense, though. If you're going to talk about the worst matches from each PPV, might as well bring in an expert. Their targets this time around are the bottom of the barrel from Uncensored 95, WrestleMania XI, In Your House, Slamboree 95, and Great American Bash 95. Topics include how a one-off clown disguise allowed the Undertaker's Streak to survive, tier-ranking Hacksaw Jim Duggan's skull offense, whether or not

Gavin's annoying, loud, nasally voice contrasts with the smooth, ASMR style of Chris Eckert. The plan was to discuss the lowest-rated matches from AAA When Worlds Collide, Survivor Series 94, Starrcade 94, Royal Rumble 95, and SuperBrawl 5. Too bad a technical error caused a lack of recording, so enjoy Gavin starting things off hot and really, really annoyed! Otherwise, the two discuss everything from druid mysteries to the lack of Liam Neeson in wrestling to the idea of Uncle Howdy having a

From the files of Police Squad! This week, Gavin is helped out by his ever-enthusiastic buddy David Burszan. They power through the mid-90s discussing the worst hits from King of the Ring 94, Bash at the Beach 94, SummerSlam 94, Fall Brawl 94, and Halloween Havoc 94. Topics include Duckman, drag queens sitting with Muhammad Ali, and Art Donovan's commentary. At one point, David gets steamed and animated over lazy dyslexia jokes.

There's not a word yet for old friends who just met. Gavin finally gets around to talking to musician and renaissance man James Howard, a guy he's known online since 1997. Go figure. The two go through the gauntlet of the lowest-rated matches of Royal Rumble 94, SuperBrawl 4, WrestleMania X, Spring Stampede 94, and Slamboree 94. Things start out goofy as hell before grooving into some solid singles matches. Topics include real-life Virtua Fighter, Kronik Origins, Mr. Perfect's striped

Gavin hangs out with his old improv buddy Caitlin Coleman, who keeps referring to Missy Hyatt as "Misty," but Gavin doesn't have it in him to correct her. Their fodder this time around is the worst matches from Fall Brawl 93, Halloween Havoc 93, BattleBowl, Survivor Series 93, and Starrcade 93. Caitlin knows very, very little about wrestling and had no idea what she was in for, learning more than she ever wanted to know about clumsy Stormtroopers, rappers dressed as clowns, slave-owning

Note: There are zero matches in this episode that involve King Kong Bundy. Gavin's guest this time around is his good buddy Bob Chamberlain, who blesses the show with his chill, soothing voice. They discuss the worst matches from WrestleMania IX, Slamboree 93, King of the Ring, Beach Blast 93, and SummerSlam 93. It's bad enough that they have to watch a stiff zombie wizard fight a nudist bigfoot with little coordination, but having to watch it twice? Oof.Support this podcast at —

Golly, it's an extra episode! Iconic top wrestleguy Hulk Hogan died just a few days ago. Love him or hate him or tolerate him, one thing's for sure: he has been in some seriously terrible matches in his career. So many of his bad matches are on PPV and we'll get to them in due time, but what about the ones that you didn't have to pay good money for?

You're telling me that Chono was in the worst-rated match for TWO PPVs? Okay, if you insist. The shows for this episode include Halloween Havoc 92, Survivor Series 92, Starrcade 92, Royal Rumble 93, and SuperBrawl III.

These two are tasked with watching and discussing the worst matches from WrestleMania VIII, WrestleWar 92, Beach Blast 92, Great American Bash 92, and SummerSlam 92. Other topics include Greg Valentine's kickass WCW theme song, the utter insanity of the WrestleMania main event build in 1992, obscure SNK tag fighter Kizuna Encounter, the difficulty in making
