    EPISODE 90 - 2020 STADIUM STAMPEDE MATCH

    The year is 2020 and the global pandemic is in its early stages, leaving pro wrestling as the only game in town as the world shut down. This allowed wrestling to use their creative freedom to try new things, which created the cinematic match and AEW's first go at a cinematic was at the second ever Double or Nothing PPV, which saw the Elite with Matt Hardy taking on the Inner Circle waging war in the home of the Jacksonville Jaguars , the TIAA Bank Field. Close Personal Friends BSJ and Y0ungist (@y0ungist) join the show to watch the Stadium Stampede match, play a round of Shoot or Kayfabe, talk about the need for more set piece wrestling, and Vince McMahon's new look.

    EPISODE 89 - TNA DRINKING CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES | James Storm vs Eric Young

    The year is 2008 and wrestling is chugging along to the beat of its own drum in many places. WWE is fully into the Cena Era, complete with an overhaul of the WWE title to a more commercialized and controversial design while TNA continued to grow despite some of its story telling being questionable quality. One such story saw TNA make a mockery of the new WWE logo by buying a toy replica and putting a beer bottle on the spinner and dubbing it the TNA World Drinking Championship, a title that became the most sought after prize for two wrestlers: Eric Young and James Storm. Ryan Nanni of the Shutdown Fullcast (@celebrityhottub) and Close Personal Friend WackHumanBeing (@wackhumanbeing) join the podcast to break down the Drinking Championship Series, watch James Storm and Eric Young fight over the World Drinking Championship, talk about memories of teh BCS, and Wack's ongoing battle to have Philadelphia be declared apart of New Jersey You can support Grumm and The Dork Side of the Ring Podcast:- Twitter: @IAmGrumm and @DorkSideRing- Instagram: IAmGrumm and DorkSideRing- Youtube: TGrumm on Youtube or Dork Side on Youtube- Discord: grumm.tv- Patreon: support.grumm.tv
