Hard Hidz Wrestling Podcast #140: Best Matches of 2019

On this episode, we review TLC 2019, which continued WWE's string of  terrible of main roster PPVs this year. Outside of a few bright spots  and great matches, the event accentuated all the things we loathe about  the company's booking tendencies. Plus, we also discuss NWA Into The  Fire and ROH Final Battle!

Hard Hidz Wrestling Podcast #139: WWE TLC 2019, NWA Into The Fire & ROH Final Battle 2019

On this episode, we review All Elite Wrestling's first post-Dynamite  PPV! From the classical psychology of Cody vs Chris Jericho, to the  death match insanity of Jon Moxley vs Kenny Omega - we discuss the highs  (and lows) of Full Gear.

Hard Hidz Wrestling Podcast #137: AEW Full Gear

On this episode, we review the spectacle that was Crown Jewel - which  featured the first-ever women's match in Saudi Arabia, a great match  between Cesaro and Mansoor, a Universal title change, and the WWE  in-ring debuts of combat sports stars Tyson Fury and Cain Velasquez.  Plus, we discuss NXT's exciting takeover of Friday Night SmackDown, the  controversy surrounding Jordan Myles' racist T-shirt, and the continued  Wednesday Night War.

On this episode, we break down WWE's sports-like presentation of their  2019 draft, the picks, and what Raw and SmackDown willl look like going  forward. In addition, we review the throwback goodness of NWA's new  studio show, and AEW's YouTube series showcasing dark matches. Finally,  we discuss the 2nd week of the Wednesday Night War! While Dynamite  delivered cool moments like Private Party's shocking upset of The Young  Bucks and Darby Allin's skateboard attack, NXT stuck to great in-ring  action as Lio Rush beat Drew Gulak for the Cruiserweight Championship  and WALTER took on KUSHIDA.

Hard Hidz Wrestling Podcast #135: WWE Draft 2019, NWA Powerrr, Wednesday Night War week 2 & AEW Dark

On this episode, we discuss the  first week of the Wednesday Night War as AEW and NXT went head to head -  each with their own pros and cons in terms of production, presentation  and pacing. While a solid Dynamite debut had the bigger atmosphere and a  huge ratings win, for our money, NXT had the better in-ring product as  The Undisputed Era, Matt Riddle and The Street Profits delivered  incredible matches. We also review Friday Night SmackDown's  awesome premiere on Fox (featuring The Rock, Brock Lesnar squashing Kofi  Kingston, Tyson Fury facing down Braun Strownman, and Cain Velasquez's  WWE debut), Raw's season opener - and an uneven Hell In A Cell 2019  where amazing wrestling (Becky Lynch vs Sasha Banks, Ali's RKO counter,  Daniel Bryan & Roman Reigns vs Bludgeon Brothers, heel Kabuki  Warriors) was dragged down by an embarrassingly stupid main event.

Hard Hidz Wrestling Podcast #134: AEW Dynamite, NXT, Friday Night SmackDown & Hell In A Cell 2019

On this episode, we discuss the first real shot in the Wednesday Night  Wars as NXT impressed with great matches, upgraded production, and  strong ratings for their 2-hour "live" debut on cable TV. Plus, we  review the highs and lows of 2 prestigious tournaments in NJPW's Super  J-Cup and WWE's King of the Ring. Finally, we unpack Kenny Omega's  (v)triggering "real stars, not developmental talent" comments, LAX's  emotional farewell on Impact Wrestling, and Dr. Gore's unwarranted  putdown of Kick to the Gut!

Hard Hidz Wrestling Podcast #133: NXT on USA, NJPW Super J-Cup 2019 & WWE King of the Ring 2019

On this episode, we review clashes between kings and champions! Over in  Singapore, Kenny Omega and a strong-hearted OWE contingent visited to  challenge SPW's finest.

Hard Hidz Wrestling Podcast #132: SPW Klash of Kings & WWE Clash of Champions 2019

On this episode, we review a huge weekend for pro wrestling as the 3  biggest companies in the industry each held awesome shows within 24  hours. While AEW All Out was probably the strongest PPV overall  (highlighted by PAC vs Kenny Omega, & The Lucha Brothers vs The  Young Bucks in an insane "Escelera de la Muerte" match), the incredibly  EPIC main events for NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff (Tyler Bate vs WALTER) and  NJPW Royal Quest (Kazuchika Okada vs Minoru Suzuki) might have stolen  the limelight.

On this special episode, we head into SPW to mediate the long-running  dispute between Mighty Mighty and GM Carl Hella (who showed up with his  solicitor Teo Holmes Archibald Ignatius).  We ask the hard questions to  get to the bottom of this conflict, as Mighty Mighty demands the  reinstatement of The Eurasian Dragon, while the GM and his lawyer offer  up their side to the story.
