    26: MLW's Opera Cup 2023 & AIW's Bill Alfanzo Hardcore Tournament 2023

    Dan & Sam are finally back after months away.  We heard what fans were saying, what they were begging for. They wanted to hear about Court Bauer's Major League Wrestling's Opera Cup. A tournament that according to Court Bauer (ETI - Extremely Trustworthy Individual), goes back decades. Nearly a hundred years quite frankly. Who were we, mere podcast hosts, to say to cover such a tournament? Sure there are only four wrestlers, something we absolutely knew ahead of time. Then to keep up with the 2023 vibes, we cover Sam's favorite promotion, AIW. They have their maybe, possibly annual tournament from Bill Alfanzo (who is alive btw). The results here might surprise you.  As always, thank you for listening. If you enjoyed the show, any of them frankly, drop us a review and give us the old 5 stars on any platform that allows you to. Every little bit helps the reach of this thing.  https://linktr.ee/violentpeople

    23: wXw AMBITION 11 (The Canadian One)

    As always planned, releasing wXw AMBITION 11 episode, 4 years to the day of it happening. Just great forethought all around. Sam and Dan, back at it again. Avoiding talking about too many problematic individuals. We have Thatcher and WALTER in pro wrestling matches so you know we are thriving to some degree.

    22: Ring of Honor's Survival of the Fittest 2004

    Dan and Sam are back to talk about one of the staple tournaments of Ring of Honor, Survival of the Fittest. We get some background on why this tournament takes place and why it takes place where it does. As well as go into how Bryan Danielson is an all-time great (take any chance you can) and more. Tournament also fields all time greats like The Briscoes and Samoa Joe. Lot to chat through here and go into what makes a good tournament. Is this one? Tune in and find out.

    It is Scenic City Invitational Week so we are kicking things off with a look back at the very first iteration of the southern indie tentpole event. As always, Dan and Sam are here to break down the action.
