Attitude Of Aggression Wrestling Podcast

After a long hiatus, the Attitude Of Aggression has gone back to its roots and broken quarantine. On this Episode, it's the return of the Tri-Cast as Big Dave is joined by the guys from the DWI Podcast and the one and only former host of the Sunday Segue Wrestling Podcast, Kinny Killa, as the gys preview NXT Takeover XXX as well as Summer Slam 2020. Who do the guys see as being the big movers and shakers during one of the biggest pro wrestling weekends of 2020? Tune in and find out.

After a length delay due to a myriad of technical issues on the site, the Attitude Of Aggression returns to celebrate its 5th Anniversary. It is a celebration too big for one Episode so we have broken it up into two parts. Here on Part 1, we have some fantastic interviews. The first one was a sit down Big Dave had with the one and only Tracy Smothers and author John Cosper. Recorded shortly after COVID-19 changed the world, and a couple of weeks out from WrestleMania 36, Tracy and John talk to Dave about Tracy's great autobiography "If You Don't Buy This Book Everybody Dies." Tracy and John discuss how they put the book together and there are loads of great stories from Tracy about his experiences, his triumphs, his tribulations, and everything in-between. Fans of the Great American Bash in 1990 will definitely want to listen in as Dave got to ask Tracy his recollections from one of our favorite WCW PPVs of all-time. It is a fantastic interview that any wrestling fan will want to hear. The second interview is

With the world seemingly falling apart more and more by the day, the Attitude Of Aggression returns with an Episode long overdue. We begin this Episode with a great interview that Big Dave conducted with a fantastic wrestler making a big name for himself on the Indy scene, Daredevil Dave Doll. Find out the background of this great wrestler, the origins of his name, his influences, experience, and outlook in this excellent interview. From there, Big Dave conducts a different type of Semi-Retro review as he recaps four recent PPV events in WWE. Unlike prior Semi-Retro reviews though, Dave keeps his focus on the events themselves and not all the Raw, SmackDowns, and NXTs in between. In this segment, Dave reviews NXT UK Takeover: Blackpool II, Worlds Collide, the 2020 edition of the Royal Rumble, and NXT Takeover: Portland. Wedged right in the middle of all this is the return of the Tri-Cast as Kinny Killa was coaxed out of retirement to join Big Dave, PC Tunney, and DPP as they previewed the Royal Rumble and mad

On Episode 265 we are thrilled to welcome back to the show the first-ever, and still reigning, Dynamo Pro Women's Champion, Rahne Victoria.

In addition to The Empress of Evil, our good friend Luke Roberts is back to give us all the details on this huge event coming up Saturday Night at Queeny Park in Ballwin, Missouri. From there, it is time for another Semi-Retro Review. This time out, Big Dave recaps TLC 2019, as well as all the action from Raw, NXT, SmackDown, and AEW Dynamite for the 2 weeks leading into WWE's final PPV of 2019.

On this latest installment of the Attitude of Aggression, we recap some fairly recent events in what evolved into a Semi-Retro review...of sorts. The second part of the Parabellum theme to the state of pro wrestling continues here as Dave returns to recap the continuing build to War Games and Survivor Series. He also does an in depth review of AEW's Full Gear PPV, the third PPV under the AEW banner. The episode then concludes with Big Dave being joined by PC Tunney of the DWI Podcast and a late run-in by the one and only Chris Platt from The Chairshot.com's Pod Is War podcast.

On Episode 261, Big Dave returns to recap recent events in the world of pro wrestling. Recorded in multiple parts over a span of two weeks, we run the gamut of emotions as the Washington National went from the brink of disaster to 2019 World Series Champions. Meanwhile, the pro wrestling world prepared for war. It was not just the Big 4 war brewing between Wednesday Night rivals NXT and AEW, Raw, and SmackDown, it was the warzone existing within each brand respectively.

On Episode 260, Big Dave returns to do a two week recap of recent events in WWE, NXT, and AEW. A special focus of this Episode is the 2019 WWE Draft. What was good about it, what was bad about it, and which brand came out on top? Big Dave has a full analysis of the Draft here on Episode 260. We also discuss the build to Crown Jewel II, that feels less like a glorified house show and more like a blatant attempt to grab the attention of boxing and MMA fans and to try and convert them into WWE fans. That and some very curious matches being set up in the wake of the Draft. Over on NXT, the black and gold brand continues to deliver quality with Lio Rush capturing the NXT Cruiserweight Championship, Keith Lee and Dominck Dijakovic putting on another classic, and Damien Priest continuing to make a strong case for consideration as a top contender for either of the men's singles titles in NXT. But three weeks into the Wednesday Night War and AEW has definitely gotten the attention of the wrestling world. On this Episo

Included in the discussion are: Brock Lesnar's attack of Rey Mysterio and his son; Brocks destruction of Kofi Kingston on SmackD

While the title for Episode 258 might sound more like the latest installment in the Final Fantasy or Elder Scrolls series than anything pro wrestling related, it actually accurately describes the state of WWE over the past two weeks. Here on Episode 258, Big Dave is back to recap the last two weeks in WWE and NXT. And what an eventful two weeks it has been as we now stand on the brink of the onset of the Wednesday Night Wars.

He also covers all of the developments on NXT as they got ready for the shift to the live 2-hour format on USA, as well as 2 weeks of action on 205 Live and some NXT UK in the wake of Takeover: Cardiff.

Did Charlotte Flair

August 31, 2019 was going to be a historic day in pro wrestling. After all, AEW was going to host its second ever major PPV, All Out, in Chicago, IL, in the same building where All In created a movement that led to the birth of the All Elite Wrestling. To say excitement and anticipation were at an all-time high would not be much of an overstatement. But, a funny thing happened on the way to All Out. Earlier in the day, halfway across the globe, in Cardiff, Wales, NXT UK was also hosting its second major event, NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff. Both shows were excellent, but Takeover: Cardiff might have actually been the better show. Opinions have varied widely on this topic and on Episode 256, Big Dave is back to recap both of these huge events and much more. With Clash of Champions looming this weekend, Big Dave begins by recapping events in WWE, NXT, and NXT UK between August 20 - August 31, 2019. Highlights include continuing recaps of the King of The Ring matches, an incredible rematch between Keith Lee and Domin

Episode 255 is a really special one. We kick things off by speaking with the one and only Glacier. A 30+ year veteran, the former WCW competitor talks to Big Dave about his teaming with Generation Iron this Saturday in St. Peters, Missouri for The Spectrum Slam, a great event presented by Dynamo Pro Wrestling, Fighting for Autism, and Car Shield. Glacier talks about that match, some of his most memorable moments in WCW, offers his thoughts on the possible Wednesday Night Wars and provides some advice for new wrestlers. Big Dave then gets a chance to speak to his partners, Generation Iron, about the match this Saturday, tag team wrestling in general, how the two former rivals became such an effective team, and much more.

From there, Dave recaps all the big events in the wake of Summer Slam. This includes recaps of Raw, Smackdown, NXT and NXT UK for

On Episode 254, Big Dave returns to recap one of the biggest weekends of the year in pro wrestling....Summer Slam. The 2019 edition of the Biggest Party of the Summer had all the drama you would expect from a Big 4 PPV and lasting ramifications for WWE moving forward. On this Episode, Dave recaps the two weeks leading into Summer Slam '19 and NXT Takeover Toronto II by reviewing Raw, Smackdown Live, and NXT leading into those two mega events. From there, we move into the review of NXT Takeover: Toronto II. NXT has been the center of wrestling news the past couple of days and Takeover Toronto II, and the fall out from that event, had a lot to do with that. With all of the NXT Championships on the line, the event lived up to the hype. Big Dave reviews the event here on Episode 254, including the final chapter of the epic rivalry between Adam Cole and Johnny Gargano. Also included on this Episode is a preview of Summer Slam '19 recorded just prior to the event. That is then followed up with the Summer Slam '1

On Episode 253, we take a look at some of the recent build to some of the biggest events of the summer: NXT Takeover Toronto II, Summer Slam '19, and NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff. Along the way, we question why Summer Slam is shaping up to be filled with rematches and retreads of things we have seen before? Is this what Summer Slam needs and are there enough subtle differences to make this year's biggest party of the summer worth watching? Meanwhile, the Main Event of NXT Takeover: Toronto II took shape as Johnny Cargano and Adam Cole each chose their respective stipulations for their huge NXT Championship match coming up in Toronto. Who has the edge now? Along the way, a tremendous Triple Threat for the North American Championship was booked and we explore why it might be the perfect matchup for those involved. We also discuss 205 Live, ponder whether Imperium might be the most powerful faction in WWE, and discuss AEW's big announcement of their debut episode coming to TNT on Wednesday 10/2/19. Are the Wednesday
