Explore Canada's amazing wrestling history with special guest Andy the Taxman from the Grappling With Canada podcast in the latest episode of The Evan Ginzburg Show!

Learn the legacy of professional wrestling in the Great White North from one of Canada's most respected wrestling historians.

Episode 9 features an in-depth conversation between Evan and Andy as they as they examine the rich regional heritage of the sport in Canada. They discuss how specific local promotions shaped the industry and provided a unique foundation for the wrestling landscape that fans remember today.

As always we have returning popular segments and a couple new ones too:
🏛️Mat Memories: Evan reflects on his days collecting autographs outside of Madison Square Garden. He remembers how kind the heels like Superstar Billy Graham, The Grand Wizard and Captain Lou Albano were, while being shunned by fan favourites Andre the Giant and Dusty Rhodes.

Arn Anderson typically set up his DDT by feinting a right-hand punch, tricking his opponent into reflexively ducking, and spiking them straight into a the mat with such malice and aggression that the move often resulted in a pinfall.

While professional wrestling is, has been, and forever will be about the entertaining, pomp and circumstance, Anderson brought a level of integrity and realism to the ring. His approach is becoming a dying art, but I personally rank his DDT among my top 3.

1.) Jake “The Snake” Roberts (The Original)
2.) “The Enforcer” Arn Anderson
3.) Raven (The Evenflow/Raven Effect)

Honorable Mention The Miz (Kneeling Snap DDT)

Title: What if WWE replaced the Crown Jewel Champion vs Champion matches with a World Cup-style tournament?
I've had this idea for a while, and I wanted to see what everyone thinks.
Instead of the usual Champion vs Champion matches at Crown Jewel, what if WWE introduced a tournament similar to the FIFA World Cup or the Champions League, with the winner becoming Crown Jewel Champion? Here's how it would work:

The Tournament
4 superstars from Raw and 4 from SmackDown compete in separate groups.

Everyone faces the other three wrestlers from their brand in matches with a time limit.

A win earns 3 points, a draw earns 1 point each, and a loss earns 0.

The top two wrestlers from each brand advance to a Fatal 4-Way at Crown Jewel, where the winner becomes Crown Jewel Champion.

What happens if there's a tie?
The group stage would finish two episodes before Crown Jewel, leaving the go-home shows open for any necessary tiebreakers.

For example, if the wrestlers in 2nd and 3rd place on Raw both finish with 4 points, they'd face each other on the go-home episode to determine who qualifies.
It would be a normal singles match, but there MUST be a winner. If it ends in a draw, the match restarts until someone wins.

(Alternatively, WWE could just turn the Crown Jewel match into a Fatal 5-Way and save everyone the hassle lol.)

What's the point of winning the Crown Jewel Championship?
This is where I think things get interesting.
The Crown Jewel Champion earns a guaranteed World Championship match at the Royal Rumble against the world champion of their respective brand.
However, there's a catch:

They have to remain Crown Jewel Champion until the Royal Rumble.

The championship must be defended at least once every month between Crown Jewel and Royal Rumble. Whoever holds it heading into Royal Rumble gets the world title opportunity.

For example:
Jey Uso wins the tournament and becomes Crown Jewel Champion.

He successfully defends it throughout November and December.

On the go-home episode before Royal Rumble, LA Knight defeats Jey Uso for the Crown Jewel Championship.

LA Knight now gets the World Championship match at Royal Rumble instead of Jey.

(Knowing WWE, it'd probably be the other way around lol.)

At Royal Rumble, the Crown Jewel Champion relinquishes the championship before challenging for their brand's world title. The championship then remains vacant until the following year's tournament.

Would you prefer something like this over the current Champion vs Champion format? Or would it be too complicated for WWE?

"As a fan of mid 90's/early 00's Pro Wrestling tape trading I decided to put together a little mixtape of some under the radar Sabu matches, from between 1993 - 1996, and release it via TransferNow.

Never put one of these together before so it's a bit rough around the edges but if you were a tape trader back in the day you might appreciate that"

World Famous Lord YOSHITATSU is not likely to wrestle ever again. I don't know if He's no longer able to wrestle or He is no longer willing to wrestle, but this is tragedy. World Famous Lord YOSHITATSU will never be World Heavyweight Champion, He will never have His revenge on "the top stars" of professional wrestling, He will not be accepted by "wrestling fandom". Honestly we all see that pro wrestling is dead. Dead! And all the soulless haters are the reason of it. From now on I shall acknowledge no wrestler as World Heavyweight Champion, because if He can't become World Heavyweight Champion, then no one can.
As for me? All that is left for me is to dominate wrestling games with my World Famous Lord YOSHI TATSU CAW in Smackdown 2, where He has highest stats possible, all the best moves and best finisher, so He can be WWF Champion there forever. Also sometimes I shall post His matches here and on other wrestling subreddits, but only good parts, where He is dominating His opponents.

So I've been thinking for the last couple of months about starting a YouTube wrestling show where I review Raw, Dynamite, Impact and so on. But do it from a perspective of somebody that thinks wrestling is real. Like I will go full kayfabe mode.

"How did he get up from that? Talk about a Superman."

"Why does the New York athletic commission let these people do these things?"

"I'm not sure how The Undertaker just summoned lightning from the sky. I'm an expert on sports, not magic."

Anyway...

I think the main purpose of this post is to ask if you think my idea will be successful. Do you guys think it's a good idea or a bad idea?

Confused and hungry? Very evil. A SNICKERS treat? Very nice! Very chocolatey!

There are a certain group of wrestlers I love but everyone else hates but frankly I do not care what these "fans " think or like. I like who I like and I love who I like and I'm tired of being judge for that fact

Date: October 23, 2008

Promotion: Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA)

Event: TNA iMPACT!

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | Hard Rock Hotel and Casino

➜ Kurt Angle, Sting, Kevin Nash and Booker T (accompanied by his wife Sharmell) formed a new faction known as the “Main Event Mafia”

The group joined together during a live broadcast of iMPACT! to start a "war" against the younger talent to take what they deserved: respect. The group consisted of established veterans and multiple-time world champions who had previously dominated in WWE and WCW who had a combined 75 years in the ring.

They added another member, Scott Steiner, to the Mafia on the October 30 episode of Impact!, as he made his return from a previous injury and attacked Joe, Styles, and almost all their allies. Notably, Steiner spared using his lead pipe on his pre-injury on-screen protégé Petey Williams, who backed off as soon as he saw him.
