One minute WCW is the most exciting wrestling show on TV, the next it’s a cautionary tale. We sit down and build our personal Top 10 WCW wrestlers, and the arguments start immediately: do you rank pure in-ring skill, star power, or the people who made Nitro feel like must-see television? That debate takes us from NWA-era memories and classic WCW vibes to the Monday Nitro boom years where characters, entrances, and attitude changed everything.

We run through picks like Goldberg, Vader, Sid Vicious, Konnan, the Road Warriors, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, DDP, Sting, and the original NWO core, digging into what each name actually meant to the company and to fans watching at the time. We also talk about the WCW cruiserweight division and why it still sets the bar for fast-paced, high-impact storytelling, plus how certain wrestlers evolved from “great worker” to undeniable character.

Then we zoom out to the bigger question: what killed WCW? We break down ego, creative control chaos, storylines that never ended, and infamous moments like Starrcade 97 and the Finger Poke of Doom. We also get real about Booker T, why representation matters, and how championship booking can elevate or undercut a legacy.

If you grew up on WCW Saturday Night, Clash of the Champions, or Monday Nitro, you’ll have a strong opinion on our final shared Top 10. Subscribe, share this with a fellow wrestling fan, and leave a review, then tell us who we left off your list.

The first note of a great wrestling theme song is basically a time machine. One second you’re on the couch, the next you’re back in an arena hearing a crowd surge because the intro told everyone exactly who’s coming through the curtain. We put that feeling to the test by ranking our favorite wrestling theme songs and entrance music, from classic WWE anthems to modern staples, and we get real about why certain themes never miss.

We hit everything from Hulk Hogan’s “Real American” nostalgia to R-Truth turning “What’s Up” into a live singalong, plus Chris Jericho’s “Break The Walls Down” versus “Judas” and how a single opening cue can rewrite a whole list. We also talk about the difference between a custom-made theme and a licensed track, including CM Punk’s “Cult of Personality” and the ethics and economics of royalties, re-records, and making sure artists get paid.

Then we zoom out into the bigger stuff: why John Cena’s “The Time Is Now” worked as a moment in pop culture, how the Eminem era changed what audiences were ready to accept, and why booking can waste momentum even when a wrestler’s entrance music is fire. We close with the themes that feel like final bosses, including NWO energy, Three 6 Mafia with Mark Henry, and why Edge “Metalingus” still hits like a main event.

If you’ve ever argued about the best WWE entrance music, you’ll have opinions on this one. Subscribe, share it with a wrestling fan, and leave a review with your all-time number one theme song.

Some wrestling moments don’t just miss, they change how you watch the product. We sit down and build our Top 10 list of the most disappointing moments in wrestling history, digging into WWE and WCW booking decisions that killed momentum, wasted years of buildup, or left fans staring at the screen asking, “For who and for what?”

We jump from legendary what-ifs like Scott Hall never getting a world title run to modern frustrations like uneven WrestleMania builds and endings that feel rushed. We also get into the moments that still make people mad decades later: The Undertaker streak ending and what it meant once the streak was gone, Starrcade 1997’s bungled finish, the failed promise of the Invasion angle, and the Fingerpoke of Doom as the symbol of creative freefall. Along the way we talk presentation problems, including why a debut can fall flat even when the talent is money, and why exposing the “behind the curtain” side of wrestling can make it harder to buy into anything.

We don’t dodge the uncomfortable parts either. We discuss racially tone-deaf angles, how lazy “heat” damages careers, and why it feels like certain wrestlers get protected while others get sacrificed, including the lasting debate around Brock Lesnar squashing Kofi Kingston. If you love pro wrestling, this is part rant, part history lesson, and part group therapy.

You can tell a lot about a wrestling fan by what they value most at WrestleMania: clean workrate, big moments, surprise returns, or an ending that flips a character’s whole direction. We bring Respectfully Wrong together with From My Perspective to rank the top 10 matches from WrestleMania, starting with our personal lists and then negotiating one collective list the hard way.

We get into the messy middle where the arguments live: why the women’s tag match lands on the board because of the Paige return, how Finn Balor bringing back The Demon changes the stakes of a street fight, and why Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton feels like it’s begging for a heel turn that never happens. We also talk pacing, celebrity involvement, and how a crowd’s reaction can elevate a match even when the build is shaky.

Then we climb into the top tier: why Gunther vs Seth Rollins delivers on in-ring quality even when you can see the late booking, why Rhea Ripley vs Jade sparks a real split in expectations, and how Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar works by doing exactly what it needs to do and then landing an emotional post-match beat. We close it out with the ladder match as pure WrestleMania chaos and our unanimous number one, CM Punk vs Roman Reigns, for storytelling that keeps you guessing.

If you’ve got your own top 10, you’re invited to argue with us. Subscribe, share this with a wrestling friend, and leave a review with your match of the night and the one finish you’d change.
