The guys reminisce about the short period between the late 1980’s and early 1990’s where the WWF was a big part of every young boys life. If you grew up watching wrestling this episode will bring back memories. If you didn’t grow up watching wrestling maybe this episode will give you some insight as to why it was/is so popular.

 

One of the most iconic matches in wrestling history.

This wasn’t the first time Andre the Giant had been body slammed (even Hulk Hogan body slammed him years earlier) but it was the most impactful.

 

Full match of Hulk Hogan Vs. Andre the Giant

Andre the Giant was billed at 7’5″ which was an exaggeration, but, either way, he is still a giant. Arnold looks like a kid in this photo.

The Rockers, Matt and Luke’s favorite tag team.

Is this real or not? Rick Rude taunting Jake the Snake with Jake’s wife on Rick’s tights. Rick Rude ends up naked in the ring.

 

Hulk Hogan was always a fan favorite, that was until The Ultimate Warrior showed up on the scene.

Wrestlers speaking with all words removed.

The guys loved The Undertaker and his manager Paul Bearer because of how creepy they were.

An overhead shot from one of the greatest matches of all time. Mick Foley did not know when to give up. Wrestling may be fake but this match had a bunch of real in it.

Yokozuna is one of the heaviest wrestlers of all time at well over 500 pounds he was surprising nimble.

Scott Steiner had one of the most obviously steroid enhanced bodies in wrestling in the 1990s

Bill Goldberg is the reason Matt and Luke briefly got back into wrestling in the late 1990s. His shoulder muscles and intensity were hard to ignore.

Before digital cameras Matt and Luke met Bill Goldberg and didn’t realize how bad the picture was until it was developed weeks later.

 

Giant Gonzalez is the tallest wrestler in WWF/WWE history. He is billed as being 8’0″ tall but in reality is only 7’7″

 

 

Luke used to have a Jake the Snake Roberts Wrestling Buddy.
