| 01 Sep 2020 | SummerSlam 1993 [flashback] | 02:54:06 | |
Peter and Chris are back with an episode that is unlike any other from 20x20. We hop into the Tailgate Time Machine and take you back to August 30, 1993, for SummerSlam 1993. But not to review it, oh no... we are live from the parking lot of the Palace of Auburn Hills, waiting for the Lex Express. Join us as we read through the newest Observer, crank some tunes, drink some Bud Ice and cover all things 1993 for the biggest party of the Summer. We also still have our normal party favorites like "Whats Your Era?," "What Are You Watching?" and recaps of past episode topics. You know we veer off-topic if that topic doesn't satisfy you. Other things from 1993 that we touch on include: Mercury Hayes and Michigan football's chances at the National Title; a local rapper named Marshall; VCR Plus; David Letterman taking over late night; X-Files; the NBA Draft, phone calls from Garrett and Andrew, and much more. Please visit WrestlingTravel.org and their Stay At Home, Watch Wrestling series, where we contributed our playlist earlier this year. WT helped us tremendously with this episode. They helped us travel to 1993; let them help you travel to your next big wrestling event. Also shout out to Hull Kogan [IG: @hullkogan] for the promo video that he did for this episode. Please visit him for all of your media needs. He is also one half of the IRTD duo, whom you should also be following.

| 01 Apr 2020 | Favorite Current Announcers (and more) | 01:28:26 | |
This week, Chris, Peter and Jacob are under quarantine! So this is the first remote-version of the podcast. Please excuse our dust as we make our way through this. This week, we have a few topics. We cover the Madness Brackets over on the 20x20Apparel twitter, cataloging the best theme songs of all time. We also get into some WrestleMania predictions! And of course, we have a #fivecount, talking all about our favorite current announcers. Did we miss someone? Do you have a top five list? Find us on social media and use #fivecount, or drop us an email with your list or voice memo. Don't worry, we don't just talk announcers and COVID-19. Other topics that interrupt our train of thought include: delayed ideas for the 20x20 web store, 1998 War Games, Tiger King and Joe Exotic, paranormal activity and much much more.

Here, we bring that to you in audio form (again) because our thoughts and nonsense cannot be contained by 240 characters (or one episode).

| 12 May 2020 | (Our version of) The 2020 Hall of Fame Class | 02:00:26 | |
Still under quarantine, still safe and still living by the #stayhomewatchwrestling motto. This week, Peter, Chris and Cousin Aaron bring back the old favorite - our 2020 Hall of Fame class. The rules are simple - don't pick anyone who is already in the WWE HOF and don't pick someone you have picked in previous years. Sounds good? Let's go! Don't worry, we veer off-topic just like always. Other things we touch on include: watching live music during the pandemic; weird scenes from Boardwalk Empire; 1998 Nitro recaps; a round of "Whats Your Era" featuring the Steiner Brothers; the Motor City Casino Soundboard; Lemmy; ECW; debating Daniel Bryan's place in history; still arguing about the Theme Song Tournament, shop talk about future releases and much more.

| 31 Dec 2020 | Favorite Figures | 02:59:15 | |
Peter and Chris are back from 1993, and are being joined by Andrew to talk about everyone's favorite wrestling figures of all time. It's our famous #fivecount! We are going with Mattels, Hasbros, LJNs, OSFTM and Jakks. One per line, can't repeat a wrestler, simple enough. And then comes the "drunken ebay purchases" to end the show. You know we always veer off-topic if figure-talk isn't your cup of Faygo. Other things we touch on include: ICP on Patron; Peter's OCD, Chris's figure fed history; The Elite being on top of the wrestling world; TikTok; DMing vs texting; peer pressure; TalkNShopamania2; 1999 WCW; Roman Reigns, and much more.

| 24 Jun 2020 | Future World Champions | 01:53:00 | |
It's been awhile but we have emerged from the ashes for another episode. Cousin Aaron and Jacob join Peter and Chris this week, and the usual nonsense occurs. The #fivecount topic this week centers around our picks for Future World Champions. Will Keith Lee reach out and grab that brass ring? Can Ricochet ever climb the mountain? Will Hangman Page always be the bridesmaid and never the bride? Everyone goes over their top five current wrestlers who we think will eventually get that world title opportunity. (Unfortunately, this episode was recorded before #SpeakingOut, so we do not get to discuss that. We apologize for talking about anyone who has been accused of wrong-doings in any positive light.) You know we veer off-topic if that topic doesn't satisfy you. Other things we touch on include: quarantine haircuts; our #StayHome video playlist; ebay woes and scams; Surfs Up 2; the era of cinematic wrestling; old KOTRs; the ceiling in the WWE's women's division; the greatest point Chris has ever made, and much more. Please visit Wrestling Travel and their Stay At Home, Watch Wrestling series, where we contributed our playlist.

| 22 Jan 2020 | Royal Rumble Analytics | 02:41:50 | |
Welcome to a special edition of the Pod. Peter is flying solo this week, but he has Randy Sobel on the horn to discuss.... a little bit of everything. Randy has created a spreadsheet [[Click here to see the PDF Version of the Rumble Analytics]] about the value of every wrestler who has ever been in a Royal Rumble. We like lists. We like Rumble Season! Seems like a perfect fit for the Pod. Randy is the host of the Live of 4 Legs Podcast, which dives into all things Pearl Jam. And this week, they have an interview with WWE HOFer and Pearl Jam superfan, Edge! Go check them out wherever you find your podcasts... after you catch up on ours! Don't worry, we don't just talk Rumble Analytics and Pearl Jam... although we do for a lot of this episode. Other topics that interrupt our train of thought include: corporate names of stadiums that we can't remember; New York sports; Jeopardy categories; Jonathan Coachman; rebooking past Rumbles; booking the 2020 Rumble; Crown Jewel; Juggalo culture, and much much more. We will be appearing at Astronomicon 3 (February 7-9) with special guests Allysin Kay and Marti Belle, and Olde Wrestling (March 28). Please see the websites and follow our socials for more details. Live On 4 Legs can be found on Facebook, Twitter, Soundcloud... everywhere. Don't forget to find their Fan Profile Episode featuring Edge, aka Adam Copeland.

| 01 Jun 2021 | Beware of Dog (May 26, 1996) | 02:25:03 | |
Today we crack open the 20x20 RWD Time Capsule dated May 26, 1996 - the day that WWF presented In Your House: Beware of Dog. We were driving to the Florence Civic Center from the airport on that stormy Memorial Day weekend, recording the whole time, knowing that in 25+ years, we would be listening to these tapes and recalling the fond memories of the weekend. Don't worry - Peter and Chris don't only talk about the wrestling event of the evening; we dive into sports, music, movies and general pop culture of May 1996. Specific topics include: Michigan football, Jordan vs the Magic in the NBA Playoffs, FOX's Glowing Puck, singing bad tunes in the car, diet chips, the worst UFC fight in history, Stranglemania, mad cow disease, and Susan's last episode on Seinfeld. No special guests this month. The 20x20 Rewind is sponsored by Wrestling Travel. In the best of times, WT helps you travel across the globe to your favorite wrestling event without a worry or hassle. In these times, they provide us with the key to travel backwards in time to relive the memories of your favorite events of the past. Music by Steve O, one-half of the Inverted Rolling Thunder Driver. | |||
| 19 Aug 2020 | SummerSlam Fantasy Draft | 02:01:10 | |
Peter and Chris are back with another Fantasy Draft - this time, SummerSlam. Eight matches - four title matches, no repeats of shows or wrestlers or titles. It's pretty easy. Feel free to play along and let us know what your favorite SS matches were. Did the TLC of 2000 overshadow the others in the Trilogy? Did HBK vs Razor live up to the original? Was Stephanie vs Brie Bella the best women's match in the history of the biggest party of the summer? You know we veer off-topic if that topic doesn't satisfy you. Other things we touch on include: TastyKakes; Savio Vega; Tony Schiavone as the voice of a WWF Generation?!?; how bad RAW is right now; Halloween mythology; SummerSlam posters; a Mail Bag segment; looking forward to SummerSlam 2020; buying wrestling figures at 5:30am, and much more. Please visit Wrestling Travel and their Stay At Home, Watch Wrestling series, where we contributed our playlist.

| 21 Apr 2020 | Gregory Iron Interview | 01:25:49 | |
We are still under quarantine, but the 20x20 continues to push forward. This week, Peter chats with our first two time (two time) guest, Gregory Iron. Greg is a lifelong wrestling fan, an independent wrestler and host of the Iron On Wrestling podcast, so you know that he has a million stories and ton of opinions that he is never shy to share with the world. We try to take bits from his show and our show and make a cohesive conversation. Topics include: Bobby Shields; #icp4hof; Joey Janela; Dino Bravo's contribution to our childhoods; fixing yourself during the pandemic; wrestling twitter showing their chubs at night; FMK on Greg's favorite restaurants, the unfortunate releases by WWE this past week; Dennis Rodman in WCW; name-dropping all of Greg's friends like Johhny Gargano and Steve Austin, and much, much more. Greg is all over social media. You can find him specifically on Twitter and Instagram. His podcast, Iron On Wrestling (which is on Apple, Spotify and all podcast platforms) can also be found on Twitter and IG. There is also a Patreon and a PWTees store, if you want to support the best of brothers.

We are BACK. Season 2 is in full swing and it is back to basics. We have Peter and Chris back after a little hiatus, and it's a reboot of the first episode - favorite current wrestlers. Did anyone make a repeat appearance from last year? (Maybe) Did anyone get redacted? (Probably) Are we even watching the current product anymore? (Not really) Are we abandoning the "This isn't a political podcast" mantra and just burying people? (Yes) Tune in to find out during our famous #FiveCount. You know we veer off-topic if that topic doesn't satisfy you. Other things we touch on include: (lack of) social distancing; burying Babahootski; wrestling figures; Chris Jericho's spot on the list of all-time greats; if Cody more gullible than Sting; who is Mr SummerSlam; WCW in 1998; favorite Seinfeld episodes; #DayGimmick posts, and much more.

| 25 Feb 2020 | Astronomicon 3 Recap | 01:40:01 | |
This week, Chris, Peter and Jacob are back in the studio discussing the weekend at Astronomicon 3, Detroit's newest pop-culture convention that is out of this world! This was our third year there and of course we have stories. From no hot water in the hotel to drinking in the lobby with Brutus Beefcake; from the newest items for sale at the 20x20Apparel table to the items that we bought as we walked around the Con; from Alexa Bliss to the Plunger King and everyone in between - we've got you covered. We also hosted both Juggalo and Wrestling trivia sessions, so we deep dive into those. You can play along at home, so you have an idea of our mindset when we make these questions. Next year, it could be you holding that gold, silver or bronze trophy. Or it can be you in the crowd getting yelled at by us. We will be appearing at Game Changer Wrestling on March 21, and Olde Wrestling (March 28) where 20x20 will be sponsoring the main event of Matthew Cross vs Danhausen. Please see the websites and follow our socials for more details. Scream Prints (art by Steve Jencks) was talked about on this episode and we didn't have the name handy. They can be found at www.screamprints.com. They are also on all social medias, so go follow them for your spooky art needs.

| 30 Apr 2021 | Wrestlemania 3 (March 29, 1987) | 02:09:14 | |
Today we crack open the 20x20 RWD Time Capsule dated March 29, 1987 - the morning of WrestleMania 3. We were there in the parking lot of the Silverdome, recording the whole time, knowing that in 30+ years, we would be listening to these tapes and recalling the fond memories of the day. Don't worry - Peter and Chris don't only talk about the wrestling event of the evening; we dive into local sports, music, movies and general pop culture of March 1987. Specific topics include: the string of Piper's Pit segments leading up to WM3; love connections via the Observer; LJN Figures; Transformers The Movie; Steve Yzerman; Jim Harbaugh; the Motor City Kitties; Bon Jovi, and more.

| 10 Mar 2020 | Bracketology 2020 - Best Theme Songs | 02:12:50 | |
This week, Chris and Peter are joined by longtime friend Andrew, and we are discussing the Theme Song Madness Bracket [[Click here to see the PDF Version of the Brackets]]. If you follow 20x20 Apparel on Twitter, you will see our tournament of best wrestling theme songs, and this is your chance to vote for your favorites! Andrew joins us to dissect the brackets, region by region, song by song, matchup by matchup... and by "dissect," we mean "hammer Chris for his picks. From Cobo Hall to the Sportatorium, we cover them all. It's Andrew's first time in the studio, so we spend a little time getting to know him, his background as a trained wrestler and as a fan, and we even dust off "Whats Your Era?". Don't worry, we don't just talk Madness Brackets. Other topics that interrupt our train of thought include: how an entrance has an effect on a theme song's feeling, if classical songs make for better themes, the importance of Jim Johnston, the difference between a region and a quadrant, Nailz's place in WWE history, the road to Survivor Series 1992, an impromptu game of Name That Tune and much much more. We will be appearing at Game Changer Wrestling on March 21, and Olde Wrestling (March 28) where 20x20 will be sponsoring the world title match of Matthew Cross vs Danhausen.

| 15 Oct 2019 | Current Product Discussion (Fall 2019) | 01:55:06 | |
The boys are back, and so are everyone's allergies. After a short hiatus, Peter and Chris are back and are joined in studio by Jacob and Cousin Aaron. The last two weeks have been booming in the wrestling world, so it's a perfect time to reset the table and talk about the Current Product (The CP) - WWE, NWA, Impact, AEW, GCW, Bloodsport, NXT, ROH - we cover it all. We talk angles, what shows we are watching, the lack of heel commentators in the business today, how the sport is transitioning to an MMA-based product and a host of other subjects. If you're worn out on the ol' CP, don't worry! There is plenty of nonsense in this episode to keep you entertained. Like what movies we are trying to watch this fall, what guests and topics we want to have in the future, how many names can Chris possibly mispronounce in one episode and did everyone forget how to talk directly into the microphone?!? And an Easter Egg so long that we couldn't cut it, we just let it keep going and going... This episode is another glimpse into how we envisioned this podcast - you're just a fly on the wall, listening to us BS about wrestling with no filters. Well, maybe a few filters in the post production.
If you are a fan of Cousin Aaron, you can follow him on IG at @detroit_dzikus or you can find him at the Berkley Chop Shop on 12 Mile Rd, cuttin' and struttin'. If you are a fan of movies and wanted more info on the Movie Marathon at the EMagine Novi on November 1-2, please visit https://leukemiamichigan.org/movie-thon/ for more details.

| 07 May 2019 | Current Product (The CP) Roundtable and 2019 Predictions | 01:37:59 | |
Welcome to the TENTH episode of the 20x20Pod. This episode is quite different than our previous nine. When we started this adventure, we wanted to be different and stay away from the day-to-day current happenings of the wrestling world. Well..... Chris and Peter are joined in studio by the returning Cousin Aaron, the re-debut of Rex and the on-mic debut of Steve-O, along with a run-in by Baby Ivan. It started off as a discussion to make predictions for 2019, so we could go back in a year and see who could see most clearly into the future. However, too many voices and strong opinions about the ol' CP led to some deep-diving conversations that we did not expect. Who on the panel is not a fan of Seth Rollins? Who do we think can beat Okada, if anyone? Should Otis hold ALL the belts or just most of them? We try to stay away from such hard-hitting opinions and dirt-sheet nonsense, as the 20x20 Brand is all about fun and nonsense... but this is just a little glimpse into what we all like and why we watch this great sport of professional wrestling. This conversation brings up some good points and we will explore them deeper in future episodes. As always, you can take part in the fun. Send us an email, social media mention or yell at us from your rooftop. Use the hashtag #fivecount and we will find it. Let us know what you think will happen this year, or why you like wrestling in general. -------------------------------------------- Social Media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - @20x20pod Email us at 20x20Pod@gmail.com.

| 19 Jan 2021 | 20x20's Best of 2020 (Part 1) | 02:19:48 | |
Peter and Chris are back to tie up everything that was the year 2020. If you follow 20x20 Apparel on Twitter, you saw our countdown of 100 Moments of the Year. Here, we bring that to you in audio form because our thoughts and nonsense cannot be contained by 240 characters. You know we always veer off-topic, and this is the perfect episode for that. Other things we touch on include: Twitter being stupid; celebrating at Burger King; the Conspiracy Triangle; the importance of good commentary; rewatching Rumbles; Facebook claim sales; a rousing edition of What's Your Era with HBK, and much more. Please visit Wrestling Travel and their Stay At Home, Watch Wrestling series, where we contributed our playlist. Eddie Kingston, Cactus Jack, Stranglemania, the Motor City Machine Guns, Greg Iron, Dennis Stamp... you know how we get down.

| 28 Apr 2020 | Future Endeavored Fantasy Draft 2020 | 01:23:40 | |
We are staying home, staying safe and living by the #StayHomeWatchWrestling mantra. This week, Peter and Chris are joined by Jacob and Corktown's Illest, Cousin Aaron. Unfortunately, many WWE superstars and talents were laid off last week, so we fantasy book where we'd like to see all these men and women go. Will we send the Good Brothers to Impact? Will Hawkins and Ryder scratch that itch in New Japan? Will No Way Jose dance his way to HorrorSlam? We book the towns from here to there and everywhere. You know we veer off-topic if that topic doesn't satisfy you. Other things we touch on include: Aaron's WM36 thoughts; what we can binge-watch next (Wresting Society X or 205 Live perhaps); non-political issues of the day; Nitros and War Games from 1998; HOF talk, learning Polish and much more. You will also hear us brainstorming ideas for new shirts, one of which is already on pre-order. Go to 20x20Apparel right now and get the #StayHomeWatchWrestling shirt. All profit will go right to No Kid Hungry. Stay home, be sports entertained, enjoy a cool new shirt and help a great charity.

| 19 Jan 2019 | Favorite Current Wrestlers (Pilot) | 01:03:53 | |
Welcome to the 20x20 Podcast, powered by 20x20Apparel.com. Our goal is to produce a podcast where you, the listener, are just a fly on the wall during a conversation about professional wrestling. There will be a segment called The Five Count, where a Top Five list will be discussed. There's a different topic every episode. Feel free to share your lists with us on social media using the hashtag, #fivecount. ----more---- In this first episode, you get to meet your hosts Peter and Chris. The #fivecount topic is Favorite Current Wrestlers. This is a good opportunity to get to know everyone and start the groundwork for our podcast going forward. Did your current favorites make the cut? Tune in to find out and then let us know what your list is. Maybe we will play or read your list on a future episode. ----more---- Social Media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - @20x20pod ----- Email us at 20x20Pod@gmail.com .

| 19 Jan 2019 | Royal Rumble 2009 (Watch-along / Drink-along) | 01:23:41 | |
Episode 2 goes off the rails, and fast! We abandon the promise of Favorite All-time Wrestlers and jump right into an old favorite - the Royal Rumble Drinking Game! Peter and Chris welcome Jacob to the podcast as they watch the Rumble match from 2009. There is a loose set of rules for taking a drink when certain things in the match occur. Feel free to fire up and pour yourself a beverage to watch along... or just listen along as we go through numerous stories, arguments and all-around nonsense. From stories about the famous Joe Louis Arena (and its parking lot) to debating the HOF credentials of R-Truth, this episode is an instant classic. And stick around for the easter egg at the end! ----more---- Social Media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - @20x20pod ----- Email us at 20x20Pod@gmail.com .

| 05 Feb 2019 | Favorite All-Time Wrestlers | 01:16:25 | |
Episode 3 sees your hosts Chris and Peter fighting a blizzard, ice storm and Michigan allergies to bring you the #fivecount topic of... Favorite Wrestlers of All Time. There's a little cross-over with the lists and there isn't a lot of debate, but that will soon change as the topics get broader. Will Peter take all TNA and ROH alumni? Will Chris try to pick ECW for every pick? Can we tie Joey Ryan's penis into the conversation somehow? Who knows! There is also a special announcement within this episode regarding Astronomicon 2, happening on February 8-10 in Sterling Heights, MI. But you will have to tune in and listen for that. ----more---- Social Media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - @20x20pod ----- Email us at 20x20Pod@gmail.com .

Episode 4 is the return of Jacob with your hosts Peter and Chris, as they discuss all things that happened at Astronomicon 2, the world's greatest pop-culture convention, hosted by Detroit's own TWIZTID and their Majik Ninja Entertainment family. 20x20 had a booth at the convention and the boys hosted multiple trivia sessions over the 3 day weekend. Hear the stories about how the trivia went, try to answer some of the wrestling questions along with Chris, relive the interaction the boys had with such Con guests as Jake The Snake Roberts, Goldust and Bill Moseley.... and much more! You will feel like you are hanging out at the convention with your friends ----more---- Social Media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - @20x20pod ----- Email us at 20x20Pod@gmail.com .

| 12 Mar 2019 | Favorite Live Events | 02:35:22 | |
Episode 5 brings you the return of the Five Count! Today your hosts Peter and Chris, along with returning young boy Jacob, discuss their favorite all time live events that they have attended. There is a lot packed into this episode, so get ready for the longest episode to date! It starts with a recreation of Steve Austin's famous Margarita mix... and it goes off the rails from there. Before you know it, we are an hour in and the #fivecount hasn't even started! Another addition to this episode is Cousin Aaron, who graced us with his own #fivecount topic from a previous episode. As always, if you want to join in on the fun of this or any past Five Count lists, email us, tag us with #fivecount on social media, leave us a voice mail.... do whatever you need to do, and who knows.... you may be featured on our next episode! New microphones, shaking ice, alcohol flowing, stuffy sinuses and recording way past our bed times all tie together to give you this offering of the pod. We are like your friends in the car when you're going on a trip, and this episode dives deep into all of the roadies that we have taken when going to various wrestling shows. So strap on your seatbelt and join us as we discuss all things regarding the memories involved with our favorite live events! -------------------------------------------- Social Media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - @20x20pod ----- Email us at 20x20Pod@gmail.com .

| 19 May 2020 | "Fly on the Wall" Pre-HOF2020 (BONUS) | 00:56:44 | |
We are back with a very special episode this week. How is it special? There's no topic! Not that we stick to topics anyways. If you recall from our last episode, we mentioned that before the record button got pressed, we had been talking for about an hour. Well, the record button was on and when we listened back, it wasn't half bad. So we give you that raw conversation here as a little bonus; a little glimpse into Chris, Peter and Aaron just hanging out and talking about whatever. So enjoy being a fly on the wall for this largely-unedited episode. No filters, no fluff, just talk. Maybe some edits to protect the innocent. If we had a topic, we would veer off of it. This week we talk about things like: new and old WWF Superstar ice cream bars; navigating The Network for the perfect Coliseum Video to watch; the backstory of Jim Cornette vs Santino Marella and Rex's part in their history; preparing for our HOF episode; barbed wire matches; ebay alerts; Dark Side of the Ring, and much more. Go to 20x20Apparel right now and get the newly in-stock #StayHomeWatchWrestling shirt. All profits will go to No Kid Hungry. Stay home, be sports entertained, have a nice soft tee on your back and help a great charity. Also check out the newest pin in the Pinfall series, the Rhythm & Blues pin, also available now for your purchase.

| 23 Jul 2019 | Favorite Gimmick Matches - #fivecount | 01:57:56 | |
THIS. IS. EXTREME. In honor the recent Extreme Rules PPV, Pete and Chris return to the Five Count to discuss their favorite gimmick matches! Did someone pick the Piranha Tank Death Match? The Good Housekeeping Match? Crybaby Match? Or do we stick to the classics like Cage and Tornado Tag Team Matches? As always, the discussions go many directions. We discuss our favorite matches that fall under each gimmick and how they tie into the old CP (Current Product).
As always, you can take part in the fun. Send us an email, social media mention or a note attached to a bottle rocket. Use the hashtag #fivecount and we will find it. Let us know what your favorite patriotic moments in wrestling are, and if you think we should invite Jacob back onto the pod ever again after his outbursts. -------------------------------------------- Social Media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - @20x20pod Email us at 20x20Pod@gmail.com.

| 21 May 2019 | Favorite Money in the Bank matches | 01:38:35 | |
Chris and Peter are joined in studio by Jacob, as our favorite Money in the Bank matches are the topic of the famous #fivecount. Actually, we end up talking about every MITB match in history along with their cash-in attempts, as well as Game of Thrones, ordering pizza (or lack of ordering pizza), a stirring review of Fighting With My Family and all the other nonsense topics that you have come to know and love. As always, you can take part in the fun. Send us an email, social media mention or snail mail. Use the hashtag #fivecount and we will find it.

| 18 Jun 2019 | Favorite (Most Epic) Entrances | 02:15:24 | |
Welcome to the newest episode of the Pod. After a little break, we jump right back into it with both feet. Peter and Chris are joined in studio by the returning Rex... and the #fivecount topic is Favorite Entrances. Sometimes they involve a vehicle coming to the ring; sometimes there is a live band; sometimes it is just the atmosphere of the moment. The Boys sit and dissect all things dealing with special entrances. There is a little rule-breaking going on here, some tag ropes being dropped and closed fists behind the refs back... don't mind those! Focus on the action. And check our 20x20 YouTube Playlist to see just some of the (legal) versions that we can share with you. Or dig on The Network or other sources for some more videos. Don't worry - there are plenty of other topics to explore. We discuss the recent shows from all the major feds - Dominion, Double or Nothing and the Super Showdown. We also pick our G1 winners (before the brackets came out), we fantasy book Finn Balor as The Demon and Bray Wyatt's future opponents via The Funhouse, we complain about WrestleMania being on too late in our time zone and we half-ass watch MidSouth's Wrestlefest 1985 as we record our podcast. All of this nonsense and much more, as you have come to expect.
Thank you to Rex for stopping by the studio this week. He is all over the internet, on top of his SheikBlood responsibilities under the 20x20 Banner. You can follow him on his Soundcloud account. You can also listen to Killing The Business, available on Spotify, Apple Music and everywhere you consume your wrestling bars via rap.
As always, you can take part in the fun. Send us an email, social media mention or carrier pigeon. Use the hashtag #fivecount and we will find it. Let us know what your favorite entrances are and how you'd book The Demon going forward. And what entrance of his is the best. -------------------------------------------- Social Media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - @20x20pod Email us at 20x20Pod@gmail.com.

| 26 Nov 2019 | Favorite Survivor Series Teams | 01:43:27 | |
It's been a minute but the Boys are back with a Survivor Series themed episode. When we think of Thanksgiving, we think of teams of five striving to survive! So what better topic to tackle on this turkey week than our favorite teams of all time. Did we go new school with Team NXT? Did we dig deep and pick a Heenan Family team? So many teams to choose from and so little time. If you're full of turkey and can't stomach any more Survivor Series talk, you are in luck. We dive into other topics like Michigan football, local wrestling shows, Chris still not knowing the difference between Kofi and R-Truth, how poorly eras are labeled in WWE history, what the show on FS1 should be called, our opinions of The Irishman and so much more non-wrestling stuff, I can't believe we are in the wrestling podcast category.

| 20 Aug 2019 | G1 29 Recap (aka The Ep. That Almost Wasn't) | 01:05:46 | |
This week, Chris is absent from the NJPW talk, so Peter and Jacob sit down in Studio C with long time listener and first time guest Rob to discuss the G1 29 Tournament. The best matches are broken down, sleeper favorites and overall MVPs are discussed along with our brackets and other nonsense statistics from the last six weeks of New Japan action. Also of note, this episode almost did not come out because of some editing issues, aka, Studio C is haunted. Or the 20x20 Spirits didn't want an episode to go out without Chris on it. So please excuse the sound being a little rougher than usual. Speaking of nonsense, there is more to discuss than just the G1. We jump right into shaming Jacob for not buying a beer for a young lady at a recent event. Other topics include picking Omega vs Cody, Dave Meltzer's love for handing out 5 stars, NXT vs AEW this fall and a sneak peak into Peter's watching of every Hell in a Cell match.
Don't forget to look for us at Olde Wrestling on August 25 in Ohio, as well as at Starrcast 3, starting on August 29, just outside of Chicago. Tickets are still available for both. We'd love to see everyone stop by the 20x20 table and tell us your favorite era of Ric Flair or argue with us over ICP being in the HOF. -------------------------------------------- Social Media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - @20x20pod Email us at 20x20Pod@gmail.com.

| 16 Apr 2019 | Gregory Iron and Olde Wrestling in Detroit | 00:32:37 | |
This special episode brings a few "firsts" to the 20x20 Table. Peter is joined in-studio by Rex to put a bow on the Olde Wrestling event that took place in Detroit at the end of March. If you haven't heard, it went off splendidly! Please follow Olde Wrestling on Twitter and Instagram, as well as their website www.oldewrestling.com for everything in their black and white universe. See them this August in Ohio (Boo!) for their yearly Extravaganza and hopefully back in Detroit very soon. Another first this week is our first real interview! (Sorry Aaron.) Before the Olde show, Peter and Chris sat down with Gregory Iron - wrestling superstar, motivational speaker, vintage shirt collector and part-time matador. As is the style with the rest of our episodes, actual current wrestling is barely talked about! Gregory has a history of wacky wrestling-related Halloween costumes, so we have a special #fivecount, trying to come up with some ideas for his 2019 costume. We hit some winners, but be sure to follow him on his social media like his Instagram and Twitter to see what he chooses, if any. Maybe he has something else up his sleeve. As always, you can take part in the fun. Make your own list and send it to us via email, social media, USPS or voice message. Use the hashtag #fivecount and we will find it. Let us know what you think of our lists and what you are dressing up as for Halloween (because it's never too early for Halloween talk). -------------------------------------------- Social Media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - @20x20pod ----- Email us at 20x20Pod@gmail.com .

| 22 Oct 2019 | Hell In A Cell 2017 Watch-Along (BONUS) | 00:43:37 | |
It's time for another BONUS episode! Aka, an apology for abandoning our friends and fans for a few weeks. In honor of the October WWE PPV tradition, we are watching Hell in a Cell from the LCA in Detroit, MI. There are two HIAC matches from the show, but we are going with the New Day vs The Usos for the Smackdown tag titles. Should be a good one! If you have the WWE Network, you can follow along with us (as best you can, because we were fighting a lagging issue with the updated app and it's probably.... not even close to being synced up). If you can't listen and watch with us... don't worry! We barely talk about the match so you will enjoy our nonsense whether you watch along or not. We talk about the wild weekend we had around the PPV, including the XICW show at Cobo, the Bruce Prichard/Jim Cornette show at St Andrews and almost falling asleep during the PPV. Non-wrestling topics include troubles parking downtown when the Lions are at home, Michigan football woes (reoccurring theme), the movie marathon for CLF on November 1-2 and much more. Sit back, relax and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoy talking about our memories from this huge weekend in 20x20 history.
If you are a fan of movies and wanted more info on the Movie Marathon at the EMagine Novi on November 1-2, please visit https://leukemiamichigan.org/movie-thon/ for more details.

| 28 May 2019 | Money In The Bank (WM23) Watch-Along (BONUS) | 00:44:01 | |
Bonus Episode from your (every other) Tuesday Noon Titans! Still on a high from the Money in the Bank weekend, Chris, Peter and Jacob decided to stay late in the studio and watch the MITB match from WrestleMania 23 in Detroit. Just like our Rumble episode, this one is a little bit of a drinking game... so pour a tall beverage of your choosing, cue up The Network and play along. Mini ladder? Take a drink. Outside interference? Drink. Broken ladder? Multiple finishers? That spot where two guys are on the ladder and another pushes them off and they crotch on the ropes? Drink drink drink. Of course, there is more to talk about then just the match, so even if you cannot watch along, there is enough nonsense to keep you entertained, like the run-in by Danielle, who gives her expert opinions on the world of wrestling (and her review of the Paige movie) and the bonus bonus of us watching the cash-in match(es). As always, you can take part in the fun. Send us an email, social media mention or smoke signal. Use the hashtag #fivecount and we will find it.

| 02 Jul 2019 | Most Patriotic Moments in Wrestling History - #fivecount | 01:11:55 | |
Another episode, another Five Count. In honor of Independence Day, Peter and Chris sit down with "Babahootski" Jacob to discuss the most memorable patriotic moments, wrestlers and promos in history. We kick things off debating if this is even politically correct topic and then dive right into it. So crack a beverage, grab a hot dog and celebrate America with us. And check our 20x20 YouTube Playlist to see some of the moments that we discuss. Or dig on The Network or other sources for some more videos regarding the US of A in wrestling. Don't worry - we stray off-topic for a few moments as well, if talking all USA isn't your cup of tea (we are looking at you, our British listeners). Witness the most bleeps in 20x20 Pod history, mostly from Young Boy Jacob saying inappropriate, non-PC things, as well as a record-amount of coughs and throat-clearings from Chris (he claims he was getting choked up). We also touch on the lineage of the NWA/WCW title, things we have been watching as of late (like the And Then There Was King video from AAW) and you may even hear one of us singing if you listen to the very end. All of this nonsense and much more, as you have come to expect from the 20x20 crew.
As always, you can take part in the fun. Send us an email, social media mention or a note attached to a bottle rocket. Use the hashtag #fivecount and we will find it.

| 02 Apr 2019 | (Our version of) The 2019 Hall of Fame Class | 02:35:30 | |
Our latest episode brings to you a round table discussion about our choices for the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame. In 2017, we did a written version of this topic, which you can still find on www.20x20apparel.com. For 2019, the same rules apply... we continue to discuss people we think should be in the HOF. Five choices (one of which is your headliner) and one celebrity pick Your hosts Peter and Chris are joined by both Aaron, who made an appearance in an earlier episode via voice mail and executive producer George, whose opinions come through the air waves via his toe nails clicking on the floor and his collar shaking. They break down all of their picks and veer slightly off-topic when discussing topics like how the WWE is using Ronda Rousey, the best way to cook pizza rolls and how Mick Foley falling off the Cell in 1998 had an impact on all of our wrestling-watching lives. It's a jam packed, late-night episode filled with music, pageantry and a little bit of controversy mixed in with a few tall boys and juggalo nonsense. As always, you can take part in the fun.

| 23 Apr 2019 | RJ City and Our Favorite Wrestler TV/Movie Appearances | 00:51:17 | |
This is another special episode of our podcast, once again coming to you from backstage (upstairs?) at the Olde Wrestling (www.oldewrestling.com) show in Detroit. But we aren't talking about the show... we are barely talking about wrestling! Our guest is RJ City, international wrestling superstar, actor extraordinaire and friend/enemy of David Arquette. RJ took time out of his busy schedule to sit down with us as we discussed our favorite TV shows and movies that wrestlers have been a part of. We have some that you would expect... but RJ comes through with some DEEP cuts from yesteryear. After you listen to this episode, you're probably going to be racing to YouTube to find these clips. Well look no further than to the 20x20 YouTube page! We set up a Playlist right here that covers many of the shows and movies that we discussed. Also as you have come to expect from us, there are a lot of non-wrestling topics... like why does Coney Island call their hot dogs "Coneys"? Where does RJ like to go when he is in Detroit? Why should you treat "every day like it is WrestleMania"? What concert will RJ be attending with us later this year? Is Danhausen really haunting the upper level of the Detroit City Distillery? Where can the best apple fritter be found? And so much more! RJ City is all over the internet: Facebook: facebook.com/rjcity (where he makes coffee in his underwear every Sunday morning). Instagram: @rjcity Twitter: @RJCity1 YouTube: RJ City (where is absolutely does not upload his coffee videos). IMDb: RJ Skinner As always, you can take part in the fun. Make your own list and send it to us via email, social media or voice message. Use the hashtag #fivecount and we will find it.

| 10 Sep 2019 | Starrcast 3 - Discussions and DeRosa; Boom Boom and The Bad Boy | 01:20:13 | |
Last week, the 20x20 Crew visited Starrcast 3 in Chicago, IL. Four days of travel, big time shows, meet and greets and everything that has to do with wrestling. There is simply too much to put into the description this week, so you just have to listen! This is different than our usual episodes in the sense that it is a "clip show" with various interviews and segments with combinations of your favorite 20x20 characters like Peter, Chris, Steve, Babahootski Jacob, Rex and others ... but it also captures exactly what we want this podcast to be - you are a fly on the wall of a weekend of conversations. Literally, we recorded in the car on our way home. You're right there with us! In the car, at the table, in the hotel room... we are talking WITH you, not AT you. So sit back and enjoy the Starrcast weekend through our eyes Let's get into all of the people you will be hearing from on this episode: Marty DeRosa - Twitter: Marty DeRosa and MartySarahPod Colt Cabana - Twitter: Colt Cabana and IG: Colt Cabana Fandu Belts - on the web at FanduBelts.com; Twitter: FanduBelts; IG: FanduBelts Joey Janela - Twitter: Joey Janela and IG: Joey Janela.

| 09 Jul 2019 | SummerSlam 1993 Watch-Along (BONUS) | 00:41:03 | |
Bonus Round! We are back with a little bonus episode, the ol' watch-along. Sticking with the theme of patriotic moments, we are watching Lex Luger vs Yokozuna from SummerSlam 1993, from right here at the Palace of Auburn Hills, If you have the WWE Network, tune in at 2:11:15, hit play when the countdown... counts down, and you will feel like you are in the studio with Chris, Peter and Jacob, watching right beside us. Don't worry - if you cant't watch the show with us, you can still just listen along because we barely talk about the match. If you can get through a record-number of coughs and throat-clearings from Chris (even Marmalade sounds under the weather), you will be greeted with such topics as Esham and the rest of the Detroit rap scene in 1993, the NWO/Wolfpac feud from 1998 and making fun of people and their signs in the crowd. You may even hear a little singing from one of the hosts if you stick around long enough. There's not a lot of booze this week, but that doesn't stop the nonsense.
As always, you can take part in the fun. Send us an email, social media mention or a note in a bottle. Use the hashtag #fivecount and we will find it. Let us know why you think Luger never got the World title or if you think his hair was gorgeous or awful in this era. -------------------------------------------- Social Media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - @20x20pod Email us at 20x20Pod@gmail.com.

| 27 Aug 2019 | "Supercop" Dick Justice (Olde Wrestling 2019) | 00:22:13 | |
This week, 20x20 was at Olde Wrestling in Norwalk, OH. We ran into some of our old friends and we met a new friend by the name of "Supercop" Dick Justice. We were fortunate enough to chat with Officer Justice for a few minutes about topics from Terry Funk and Grado... to Violent J and Jim Cornette... to coney dogs to Christmas trees. How do ANY of those tie together? You will have to listen and find out. You can find Dick Justice on Twitter at @SupercopJustice and on IG at @SupercopJustice. He also has a PWT store where you can buy all his gimmicks. Big Labor Day sale this weekend on PWT. Or you can go to 20x20Apparel.com for the newest Mecca Tee, debuting this weekend. And please support #JusticeForJustice, in our effort to get the Supercop booked in the great state of Michigan in the near future. Don't forget to look for us at Starrcast 3, starting on August 29, just outside of Chicago. Tickets are still available! We'd love to see everyone stop by the 20x20 table and tell us your favorite era of Dick Justice's career or argue with us over ICP being in the HOF. -------------------------------------------- Social Media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - @20x20pod Email us at 20x20Pod@gmail.com.

| 03 Dec 2019 | Survivor Series 1999 Watch Along (BONUS) | 00:32:40 | |
It's another free BONUS episode. This week, Peter and Chris are watching the main event of Survivor Series 1999, and you are right there with us! Relive all the excitement as Big Show, Triple H and The Rock clash for the WWF title from the Joe Louis Arena in downtown Detroit. If you want to watch along, fire up The Network at the 2:15:13 mark. If you don't, you will be able to figure out what's happening, don't worry. If you don't care about the match and just want to listen to our banter, you're in luck. Other topics discussed include the Big Show's history of bad shirts, why every main event of this era brawled into the crowd, superfan Roddy Hogan, if we could get Brock Lesnar to collab on a shirt design, adventures at local shows with The Son of Rock Joey V (whose single "I Should Have Stayed" can be found on Spotify, the video is on YouTube, and you can hear a clip of it at the end of this episode) and much, much more.

| 06 Aug 2019 | What's Your Era? (fka 'Favorite Era') | 01:42:50 | |
This week, Peter and Chris sit down with Jacob to kick-start a new segment originally called "Favorite Era," but was quickly renamed, "What's Your Era?" As quick as the name changed, the rules also changed to the dismay of one of your hosts. In a nut shell - a wrestler is named and everyone recalls what their most prominent and/or favorite era for that wrestler is. If the wrestler is Ric Flair... Peter may recall his 89 run in NWA, Chris would discuss his 92 Rumble win and Jacob would say, "Is that the old guy in Evolution?" Such disrespect. This will be a reoccurring bit for us, and it is the ultimate glimpse into things that we discuss when we are in a car or hanging around and watching wrestling, just like you and your friends. Speaking of disrespect, Peter and Chris hammer Jacob for talking ill of Harley Race. Other "off the rail" topics include our feelings on the G1 29 tournament, what our favorite sauces at KFC are, recent business meetings and Peter's emotional issues with them, why Chris (still) wants WrestleMania on a Saturday, a recap of last episode's Gimmick Match list and much much more!

Let us know what comes to your mind when someone starts talking about Bam Bam Bigelow. -------------------------------------------- Social Media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - @20x20pod Email us at 20x20Pod@gmail.com.

| 26 Mar 2019 | Wrestlemania Challenge | 01:47:17 | |
Our sixth episode brings you something different than our usual shenanigans. We present to you the first annual Wrestlemania Challenge! Given all of the matches in Wrestlemania history, you need to create your own card of 10 matches - a World title match, 2 mid-card title matches, a tag title match, a women's match, a match featuring the Undertaker and 4 wildcard matches. Here's the catch... you can't repeat a wrestler, a title or have a singular WM represented more than once. Can you do it? Are you using Shawn Michaels vs Razor Ramon or Kurt Angle? Can't have both! Oh, you want Austin vs The Rock from WM17? Then you can't use the TLC match! Your hosts Peter and Chris are joined once again by the young boy Jacob as they go through their WMC lists. There are a lot of matches and superstars that you'd expect... and some other than may shock you. Did anyone mess up and pick the same wrestler twice? Did anyone take HBK vs Taker, which is arguably the greatest match in WM history? Did anyone take Goldberg vs Lesnar from WM20? Nah, no one would do that.... or would they? As always, you can take part in the fun. Make your own list and send it to us via email, social media, telegram or voice message. Use the hashtag #fivecount and we will find it. -------------------------------------------- Social Media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - @20x20pod ----- Email us at 20x20Pod@gmail.com .
