Freshly Squeezed! 🍊👍🏼
In which we go over the results of what is probably AEW's best PPV to dateL Revolution. We go over the results and subsequent fallout from the show and where we feel things are headed from here.
Additionally, WWE has Elimination Chamber coming up - and with some of the bonkers decisions that have been made lately, we're not sure what's going to happen...or if we're even all that excited for it. We break down the card going into the show and see if we can make heads or tails of where things are going and why.
Oh yeah, there's also some of the lunacy from the last episodes of RAW and Smackdown (*cough Rowan's cage cough*) that we can just laugh at and lament (*cough Ricochet cough*).
Enjoy!
Take A Bite Out of Bex
Well here we are, once again - it's your bestest buds, Rocky & Rick, bringing you their takes on all the happenings in the world of pro wrestling.
This week's main focus is going over things leading into NXT TakeOVer: Portland...but never fret - we still go over many tidbits from the overall wrestling landscape.
Enjoy.
Big Things A-Rumblin'
Better late than never, amIright??
The majority of this episode is dedicated to the fallout of the Royal Rumble as we officially embark on The Road to WrestleMania (in bombastic VKM voice)!! It's a fairly exciting time see where we are collectively heading from a WWE storyline/storytelling standpoint.
Enjoy.
Ready to Rumble!
DISCLAIMER: We recorded this on the Thursday before the Rumble and things were a bit hectic and this couldn't get posted prior to the Royal Rumble...we'll cover the fallout on the next episode of the podcast.
Although the Royal Rumble is right around the corner, we first take a look at the happenings on the better wrestling shows of the week - NXT and AEW Dynamite. AEW in particular had some big things going on while on the Jericho cruise...but not to be left too far behind, NXT just put on another really solid show. It's great to have these two shows every week.
Not to downplay the WWE main roster too much, we are just about to start The Road to WrestleMania this Sunday with the Royal Rumble - and although RAW and Smackdown have been real hit-or-miss lately, there's always a god bit of excitement surrounding the Rumble, since it gives us a look at what's to come for the next bit. We give our thoughts on the announced matches and try to see how close we get to picking a winner for both the men's and women's Rumble matches.
Enjoy.
Wrestle Kingdom 14 Recap + New Years Dash 2020
Aaaand we're back! And this time, we dive wayyy deep into all things NJPW, as last episode we had mentioned that Wrestle Kingdom 14 was coming up shortly - well, not only did it arrive, but made quite the impact and continued to cement New Japan's spot as the best wrestling on the planet.
Anyhow, we talk about lots of the matches and what we thought about who brought it and what didn't meet our expectations (if anything).
Enjoy.
Road to WK14
Note: Due to some issues that arose this past week, we were unable to record a new episode of the podcast and therefore chose to delay the release of this recording by a bit - so obviously, in this week's podcast we are going over thoughts and predictions of events that have already happened. We should be getting around to covering the results this upcoming week.
In this episode, we go over lots of random WWE nonsense and kind of bury the lead of what we really wanted to discuss - the lead-up to NJPW's Wrestle Kingdom 14 .
Enjoy...and share with your friends.
Predicting a seemingly insignificant TLC (2019)
Welp...here we are at the end of the year again, which means WWE is rolling out the huge cluster of a PPV that is TLC: Tables, Ladders, Chairs (and sometimes Stairs). Seeing as there hasn't been too much lead up time to this show, we quickly go over the available card for the show and make some quick predictions.
Aside from that, there's news of releases and suspensions and we pay closer attention to the happenings over on NXT and AEW the most...like many current wrestling fans. It is what it is.
Enjoy the pod.
Post-Thanksgiving Roundup 2019
Unfortunately, we had to take a week off to spend time just eating all sorts of tasty foods and whatnot...but we're BACK!
On this week's podcast, we go back a few weeks and touch on our feelings surrounding NXT TakeOver: War Games and WWE Survivor Series 2019.
You can say this episode is "EZ-PZ."
Enjoy.
FULL GEAR Reactions ⚙️
That was one hell of an event, eh?
Whether you weren't into some bits or loved it all, we're running down the matches from AEW's FULL GEAR PPV event and giving our thoughts on the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Enjoy.
Pre-FULL GEAR Predictions
DISCLAIMER: For some reason, this post did not go up last week as expected, so we are re-posting this along with the newest edition of the podcast which discusses the fallout of AEW's FULL GEAR (for the FPU completionists out there).
As the title indicates, AEW is presenting FULL GEAR this upcoming weekend and as is tradition, we're giving our thoughts and picks on the matches on the card.
Enjoy.
A Lot Of "Not Big Things" Have Happened
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Prelude to HIAC and the Wednesday Night Wars
As we all know, the wrestling world has changed as the Wednesday Night Wars are upon us...unfortunately, history was being made as we were recording this week's edition of the podcast, so we will have our thoughts on both AEW Dynamite and NXT on next week's episode.
Oh yeah, Hell In A Cell is this Sunday but as of this recording, there were only 3 announced matches. Listen to us go over them and speculate on what else could be added to the card.
Enjoy.
We All Win
AEW'a All Out: fantastic
NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff: amazing!
Hence, we all won this past weekend...wrestling is just good.
Enjoy.
TakeOver: Cardiff vs ALL OUT
On this week's podcast, we go over not one but two big shows coming from this weekend - NXT UK's TakeOver: Cardiff and AEW's ALL OUT (sorry, NJPW's Royal Quest). Although we aren't as familiar with the rosters for either promotion, we are still hyped for quite a few of the matchups on both of these shows.
Additionally, there are always some of the key news tidbits from around the world of professional wrestling for us to discuss.
Enjoy,
Better Late Than Never...??
So we're discussing NXT's Takeover: Toronto / WWE's Summerslam from a few weeks ago. We recorded this just a few days after, so that's why it's so fresh in our heads - it's the editing/posting that's slowed us down.
Should be back on a better schedule now.
Enjoy.
A Summertime Classic!
DISCLAIMER: we're obviously not on time...deepest apologies.
It's a Summerslam prediction show, HOORAY!
Enjoy.
Woop Woop #RickTheSuperhuman
It seems like it has been such a long time since there has been a slow week in the world of pro-wrestling but [thankfully?] this week has been pretty uneventful - especially considering the #RawReunion was all sorts of "MEH." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Have a listen and send any feedback over to our Twitter (@partsunknwnpod)
Enjoy.
Welcome to the BROCK PARTY! 📻
What was meant to be an episode that covered A LOT of wrestling that occurred since the last podcast dropped - we spend the majority of this week's podcast going over WWE Extreme Rules. Additionally, we quickly touch on AEW's Fight For The Fallen right towards the end of the ep, so it's not an all-WWE episode.
Enjoy.
Oh, That Twitter Beef
Stomping Grounds review!!! (Exciting, no?)
Aside from all that, there's plenty of news outside the wrestling ring - lots of it centered around a "verbal" joust on Twitter - and we go over as many of the big things as we can squeeze into the show.
Enjoy and don't be afraid to share this with a friend...and hell, while you're at it, leave us a review and rating on your favorite podcast platform.
As Good As, If Not BETTER, Than WrestleMania
Hoo-boy! So Super Showdown happened and a lot of calamity ensued - listen to us go over the nonsense that was this ridiculous event.
On a much brighter note, NJPW had their Dominion show and thankfully Rick was able to watch it and give us all a rundown of what went on both during and after the matches. There were also just a few other little news tidbits for the week.
Check it out and ENJOY!
💪🏼
AEW For The Win!
Who are we kidding here - except for a couple of news tidbits, this week’s podcast focuses on AEW’s first official PPV outing: Double of Nothing.
Have a listen and enjoy.
164: MITB 2019 Reactions + 'Double of Nothing' Preview
This week we have a pretty straight-forward recap of the goings-on at WWE's Money In The Bank 2019 PPV - we go over the highs and lows and what we find interesting storyline-wise post-MITB.
Additionally, since we recorded this before AEW's 'Double or Nothing' aired, we gave our thoughts and predictions on matches for the inaugural PPV event from the fledgling company.
Check it out and enjoy.
FPU: We Know Drama!
It's quite the big week for AEW, as they've recently announced their tv distribution deal with the TNT network - we go over the finer points of not only the news but what we each think the long-run ramifications of this are as it pertains to the wrestling market-share.
Additionally, we have Money In The Bank going on and we give our predictions as to who will come out on top in these matchups.
Enjoy.
Seriously‽ The VIKING Experience‽‽
In this week's episode we cover the highs and lows of WWE's Superstar Shakeup - going over some of the obvious and surprising call-ups from NXT and 205 Live (though that begs the question as to whether or not 205 is already on the same level as RAW and SDL).
Other than that, it's a fairly light showing.
Have a listen and enjoy.
A Thousand Hours of Wrestling Later...
Wooo-boy - there's been so much wrestling in the last several days. We mainly focus on TakeOver: New York and WrestleMania but manage to sprinkle in some tidbits from the G1 Supercard and miscellaneous other happenings.
Have a listen and enjoy.
Pre-Mania 35 Predictions
DISCLAIMER: The audio on this recorded terribly - you've been warned.
Although this is posting after Mania, these were our predictions.
Enjoy.
Countdown to Mania 35
This week we kick off a mostly-news-centric show with some news highlights covering some NXT matches being seeded out for the Mania-weekend TakeOver special, the Young Bucks showing up at AAA and beating the Lucha Brothers, some in-depth talk about Harlem Heat and discussing Stevie Ray's worthiness of being added to the Hall of Fame (which the IWC had a lot of opinions about in the past week).
What're your thoughts on the Stevie Ray debate? Hit us up on twitter over at @partsunknwnpod.
Enjoy.
Now Entering: Worked-Shoot Territory
REAL TALK ALERT!
Well things have been very interesting in the world of WWE - Ronda has over-turned the apple cart and some people seem to have a real issue with it - Rick being one of them...and Rocky has his own take on the whole thing and posits a scenario where this whole Ronda angle may work out for the better while always keeping in mind that there's a strong chance that WWE will somehow fuck this up.
There's also some discussion of the Batista/HHH angle, touch base on the weekly WWE shows, somehow start to discuss/figure out what a non-WWE/Indy version of Randy Orton would be like, and lastly, finally get to discus FASTLANE.
Enjoy.
Life in the FASTLANE!
(Editor's note: this is our FASTLANE predictions episode as we will be recording our reaction episode this week)
We're a mere few days away from the final PPV stop on the "Road to WrestleMania" and you know what that means - usually an inconsequential PPV. Let's see if WWE keeps the tradition alive this time around. We go through the card and give our thoughts and hit on the go-home storylines right before the big show.
We also somehow get bogged down in some minutiae about the WWE Hall of Fame, so "buyer beware."
Check it out and, as always...ENJOY!
The Return of Blue-tista (glasses and nose-ring included)
Since we had to miss some key moments since last we recorded, this is a catch-up episode where we go over the happenings at the Elimination Chamber, some AEW news, Rick takes shots at Corey Graves and then we make sure to talk about where we are as of the newest episodes of RAW and Smackdown Live!
Oh yeah, there was also recent news of some releases that a lot of us know have been coming and some behind-the-scenes news of people coming on-board WWE.
Check it out and (as always)...Enjoy!
Catching Back Up On All the News We've Missed
"It's been a whiiiiiile!"
So tons of things have gone on in the world of pro-wrestling since we last joined you for an episode of FPU - and this episode was a lot of going over past news and giving our thoughts on it and then also going over things leading up to the next PPV (which will definitely have happened by the this posts)
We'll be back on a more regular schedule soon (we think).
Enjoy.
A Lackluster Week Gets A Truncated Episode
Man, what a humdrum week it has been in the professional wrestling sphere - so much so, that we barely get into much as WWE put on a week of fairly regular weekly tv and there wasn't too much going on outside of that.
Next week should fair much better - we hope.
Go ACE!!
Man, what a week of news it's been - between Wrestle Kingdom and New Years Dash, then the big news announcements that came from All Elite Wrestling and their signings, and lastly, just the regular kayfabe storylines running through WWE.
*whew*...I'm tired just thinking about it. Enjoy.
WK13 Preview
It's that time of the year again, folks - NJPW is getting ready to put on their annual January 4th Tokyo Dome show: Wrestle Kingdom.
As has become a tradition, we go over all the matches on the card and try to figure out which of the many amazing match-ups will be the one to make all of the wrestling fans' heads explode.
Enjoy.
Post-TLC [Blame the Lateness on the Holidays]
Better late than never, right?? 😅
Listen to our post-TLC ramblings and contrary to what we mention at the end of this episode, there should be a new podcast dropping soon after this one.
Enjoy.
We'll TL-See What's Going On

WWE2K19 and a Dash of Super Show Down
In this week's edition of the podcast, we discuss the matches of WWE's Super Show Down out of Melbourne, Australia - but first, we spend a good bit of time talking about our initial impressions of WWE2K19.
Enjoy.
Better Late Than Never, Right? 😅 #SuperShowDown
We'll be recording a new podcast when this goes up and that should post much sooner and have our reactions to the show.
Enjoy...and sorry.
