American (and Japanese) Hardcore: A Tribal History

Filthy F*****g Casuals

I got some barbed wire, and nothing to do, I got some barbed wire, and I don't need you! Ryan and Damien bring the pain in this week's episode as they delve into the bloody, viscous history of Hardcore wrestling! The casuals discuss the more brutal side of wrestling, from it's humble beginnings in Detroit to the bruising Southern Style of Florida, Georgia and Texas, from the Tokyo Dome to the backstreets of Philadelphia, they discuss the birth of the deathmatch, exploding barbed wire, the rise and fall of ECW, the obscene lengths Japanese performers will go to to inflict wonton violence upon each other and the current state of Hardcore Wrestling, as well as recent thoughts on the end of the G1 Climax, Hell in a Cell, ECW and much more!
