02.13.12 – Cool Your Heels

What ever happened to the classic bad guy? You know, the kind who honestly didn’t want the crowd in his corner? This week on Bowling Shoe Handsome, the ever-changing role of the pro wrestling villain is examined. Wrestlers discussed include legends like Ric Flair and Ted DiBiase, along with Edge, Dolph Ziggler, Randy Orton, and others. Then, Chris Jericho of 2012 faces Chris Jericho of 2002 in a fantasy “heel-off.” Finally, we’ve got Grammys talk and why Storage Wars star, Dave “Yuuuup” Hester, would be a great asset to the world of pro wrestling.

Music this week is care of Jonesin’, Jack’s Smirking Revenge, and Philadelphia’s own Dear Althea. Awesome!

02.06.12 – Dueling Reactions

Join hosts Kevin and Young John for a very “divisive” edition of the web’s only Punk Rock ‘n Wrestling podcast. This week’s topic is wrestlers who have figuratively split audiences in two. First, hear the guys talk about Hulk Hogan’s place as both the top heel AND top babyface in TNA – and why this could be helpful to the Impact product. Then, the discussion turns again to internet darling, Daniel Bryan. Find out why a seemingly innocuous line uttered by Michael Cole might signal a brighter future for the former “American Dragon.” A can’t-miss feud with John Cena might not be so far off!

Musically speaking, you’ll dig into tracks from Go to the Police, the long out-of-print (and only) recording from U.K. power pop act, The Toys. PLUS: music from Mat Minutiae’s Mike Bessler and BSH’s own Kevin McElvaney. Yes, you read that right!

12/12/11 – Private Jokes Are Rude

Credit: 411mania.com

Kevin and Young John return to TBH with a revamped version of their acclaimed podcast. This week’s topic is “inside jokes.” The guys talk about what place, if any, inside jokes have within the sphere of professional wrestling. Do WWE and its contemporaries go too far – or not too far enough – in referencing things that take place behind the curtain? Topics reviewed include CM Punk’s work-shoot promos, John Cena’s jabs at Dolph Ziggler, and Dixie Carter’s place on the weekly Impact show. Plus, music from Ascetic Parade, Hold Tight, and Throttle Jockey.  Click below to consume the excellence!

EARLY BIRD SPECIAL

Our Early Bird Special is serving a heaping helping of Sunday Night Heat action, where WWF Tag Team Champ Kane (who apparently wore a mask early on in his career???) takes on the Big Boss Man.

MID CARD HANGOVER

TNA gets….EXTREEEEMEEEE! Now usually those two words don’t go together (TNA and extreme), but this match between Raven and Sandman did get quite “ultra-violent” in this Clockwork Orange House of Fun Match. The only way to defeat your opponent is to throw them through two tables from the top of “Raven’s nest”.

Things to keep an eye/ear out for:

• I usually quote something funny/weird that Don West says. However, I don’t feel like typing out every single word he utters in this video. Enjoy the goofiness that is….Don West.
• Here’s a tidbit you might not have noticed throughout this match….KEVIN FRIGGIN SULLIVAN PAINTED A REFEREE SHIRT ON HIMSELF!
• Again, I apologize for having to show you David Flair in a wrestling ring. If you get nauseous, please alert the stewardess and a vomit bag will be brought to your seat shortly.

YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE MORNING

YOUR Main Event of the Morning takes us to WCW Starrcade 1986 as the Road Warriors take on the Midnight Express in the (in)famous Scaffold match. While this match showcases very little wrestling, it does show the innovation that came from the South in terms of pushing the envelope and showcasing their top talents in high profile matches.

Your main event worthy commentary of the afternoon:

• If there were a match rating system based on how long Tony Schiavone’s microphone cord is, this would be properly rated.
• I would have thought they would start the match on the ground, but I forgot they aren’t trying to kill time ala WWE.
• I wonder if Mad Man Pondo was watching this match from his barbed-wire cradle…
• Granted, I don’t know how the hell I would react after dropping 25 feet into a wrestling ring. But Jim Cornette’s immediate reaction after falling has to be the best sell I’ve seen in a looong while.

There you see her. Sitting there across the way. She don’t got a lot to say but there’s something about her. And you don’t know why but you’re dying to try. You want to … ask the girl …

Lizzy Valentine

Where might we see you?
I’ve wrestled all over the world … The Middle East, Spain, Mexico, and, of course, the USA.

Who is your favorite opponent?
Hands down … my favorite opponent is Malia Hosaka.

It’s Saturday Night, and you’re not booked. What are your plans?
Honestly, i really like to just relax and watch TV, and play with my dog.

Lucky dog…
Hah! People are always surprised to hear that one.

So what’s your favorite dish?
I make a very special pasta, with bacon and broccoli. It’s AMAZING.

Nice … what’s your favorite football team?
I dont like football.

Oh. So you’re probably an Eagles fan then. Tell all those who aren’t familiar … what is something that makes you really, truly unique?
I’m unique because I’m ME, and no one else can ever be me.

They certainly can’t …
Hah!

So … where do you see yourself in five years?
In five years, I see my business being even bigger and stronger.

Thanks for your time, Lizzy.
Thank you, Brady! Tell everyone at TBH.com I said “Hi.”
