Royal Rumble 1991

At the end of this month WWE will put on it’s 39th Annual Royal Rumble event so this morning, we’re stepping into the spotlight at one of the most memorable events of the early ’90s — the 1991 Royal Rumble.
This was the night the Rumble found its groove. With a loaded lineup of WWF superstars, unforgettable moments, and the rise of one of wrestling’s most polarizing villains, the 1991 Rumble delivered chaos, storytelling, and a New Champion. From shocking eliminations to the first ever 2-time winner,  this event helped cement the Royal Rumble as must-see wrestling every January.

Gorilla Monsoon

Today, we’re spotlighting one of the most important figures in wrestling history—a man whose voice, presence, and passion helped define an entire era. Whether he was calling the action with unmatched excitement, guiding talent behind the scenes, or asking Bobby Heenan ‘Will you stop?!’ Gorilla was the voice that welcomed us in, the authority we trusted, and the storyteller who made every match feel larger than life. 

Tuesday Night Titans

This week on 80s Wrestling The Podcast, we step back into the wild, unscripted world of Tuesday Night Titans—the WWF’s most unpredictable show of the 1980s.

If you love wrestling when it was raw, weird, and completely unfiltered, this episode is for you.

"The Superfly" Jimmy Snuka

Before Hulkamania ever ran wild, Snuka was the guy setting arenas on fire. At a time when wrestling was dominated by big, slow brawlers, here comes this ripped, mysterious, acrobatic superhero launching himself off steel cages like gravity was optional — and yes, you can absolutely make the argument that Snuka was Vince McMahon’s first attempt at “the star” who could carry the company into the national spotlight.
So lace up your boots… or don’t, because Snuka sure didn’t — climb to the top rope, and let’s dive into one of the most spectacular, controversial, and game-changing careers in wrestling history. Brother, this ride is going to be SUPERFLY.
