The Attitude Of Aggression returns for another installment of The Big Four Project, a chronological analysis, review, and discussion about WWE’s Big Four PPVs/ Premium Live Events.

Headlined by two epic matches, this was the event that truly made Summer Slam feel more like WrestleMania than ever before. One of the Main Events saw the Macho Man, Randy Savage, defend the WWE Championship against the man who had retired him a year earlier, The Ultimate Warrior. The other Main Event saw Bret "Hitman" Hart defend his IC Championship against hometown hero, The British Bulldog, It ended up being one of the greatest IC title matches in history and here, on this Episode, the guys do a watch-along of that phenomenal battle.

On this Episode, the guys cover WrestleMania VIII. The era of Hulkamania was drawing to a close and this particular WrestleMania, to a large degree, dealt with that.

Join us here for all that and much more on another epic installment of The Big Four Pr

The Attitude Of Aggression returns for another installment of The Big Four Project, a chronological analysis, review, and discussion about WWE’s Big Four PPVs/ Premium Live Events. This Episode marks a departure from format for the Big Four Project as the guys have decided to move away from covering two events per Chapter and are now just going to cover one event per Episode. But they sure picked a hell of an event to start this new trend with. The 1992 Royal Rumble is regarded by many as the best Royal Rumble of all-time. More than 20 Hall of Famers got together at the Knickerbocker Arena in Albany, New York, to crown a new WWE Champion. In one of the most iconic Rumble matches ever, The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, overcame astounding odds to capture the gold. Here on this Episode, the guys do a watch along of this historic and unforgettable match and invite you to join in on the fun. Plus, the guys cover the undercard, including Rowdy Roddy Piper capturing the only singles gold of his career in WWE. Join us here

The Attitude Of Aggression returns for Chapter 10 of The Big Four Project, a chronological analysis, review, and discussion about WWE’s Big Four PPVs/ Premium Live Events. In this chapter, the three amigos, Dave, PC Tunney, and DJ, reconvene to discuss two more huge events in pro wrestling history: Summer Slam '91 and Survivor Series '91. Summer Slam '91 is generally regarded as one of the better Summer Slams in history, and one of the most face friendly PPVs ever. With three title changes, The Mountie going to an NYC jail for the night, and the marriage of Macho Man and Elizabeth, it is easy to see why it is such a beloved event in WWE history. But dark clouds were rapidly approaching.  Here in Chapter 10, the guys delve very deeply, indeed, to look at all this and much more including the emergence of Bret "Hitman" Hart as a true force on the singles scene, the Legion of Doom making history, the backstage drama that led to the exit of The Ultimate Warrior from WWE (the first time), the steroid scandal that c

The Attitude Of Aggression returns for Chapter 9 of The Big Four Project, a chronological analysis, review, and discussion about WWE’s Big Four PPVs/ Premium Live Events. In this chapter, Dave is again joined by the one and only PC Tunney, along with the returning DJ of the Mindless Wrestling Podcast, to discuss two more huge events in pro wrestling history: Royal Rumble '91 and WrestleMania VII. Royal Rumble '91 featured one of the biggest upsets in WWE history as Sgt. Slaughter dethroned The Ultimate Warrior for the WWE Championship. The events leading up to that match, and afterwards, superimposed on real world events taking place at the time, created some unforgettable moments, matches, and history. Here in Chapter 9, the guys delve very deeply, indeed, to look at all this and much more including Hulk Hogan winning back-to-back Rumbles, Virgil breaking free of Ted DiBiase, the blindfold match at WrestleMania VII between Jake "The Snake" Roberts & Rick Martell, the epic retirement match between Randy S

The Attitude Of Aggression returns for Chapter 8 of The Big Four Project, a chronological analysis, review, and discussion about WWE’s Big Four PPVs/ Premium Live Events. In this chapter, Dave is again joined by the one and only PC Tunney, along with the returning DJ of the Mindless Wrestling Podcast, to discuss two more huge events in pro wrestling history, Summer Slam '90 and Survivor Series '90. After WrestleMania VI, The Ultimate Warrior had conquered Hulk Hogan to become the WWE Champion and the future seemed ultimate, to say the least. As history would show, however, that is not how things worked out. Here in Chapter 8, the guys delve very deeply, indeed, to examine the reign of The Ultimate Warrior and what went wrong. Why couldn't the Warrior click with the fans, and Vince McMahon, like the man he vanquished to win the title? It is a fascinating question, and the conclusions might surprise you. Along the way, we also cover topics such as the debut of Kerry Von Erich in WWE, The Hart Foundation recaptu

The Attitude Of Aggression returns for, quite likely, the most anticipated Chapter in The Big Four Project's relatively young history. It is time for Chapter 7 of The Big Four Project, a chronological analysis, review, and discussion about WWE’s Big Four PPVs/ Premium Live Events. This chapter is all about The Ultimate Challenge and on this Episode, Dave is again joined by the one and only PC Tunney, along with the returning DJ of the Mindless Wrestling Podcast, to discuss two more huge events in pro wrestling history, Royal Rumble '90 and WrestleMania VI. In January of 1990, Vince McMahon pulled the trigger and set in motion events that had never been seen or done before as the two most popular baby-faces in the WWF at that time, Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior, were pitted against each other with everything on the line. From their first mini confrontation at the Rumble to the epic Main Event of WrestleMania VI, we cover all the key events leading up to one of the most iconic matches in WrestleMania hist

The Attitude Of Aggression returns for Chapter 6 of The Big Four Project, a chronological analysis, review, and discussion about WWE’s Big Four PPVs/ Premium Live Events. On this Episode, Dave is again joined by the one and only PC Tunney, along with the returning DJ of the Mindless Wrestling Podcast, to discuss two more huge events in pro wrestling history, the 1989 installments of Summer Slam and Survivor Series. Both events feature the rise, and equally quick exit, of "The Human Wrecking Machine", Zeus. Zeus would step off the set of No Holds Barred to present a "real-life" challenge for the WWF Champion, Hulk Hogan. But as this is going on, The Ultimate Warrior was catching up to The Hulkster in both popularity and in the eyes of one Vince McMahon. By the time this chapter of The Big Four Project is done, Warrior has recaptured the IC title from "Ravishing" Rick Rude and was featured in the Main Event of Survivor Series '89....pushing Hogan to the mid-card of the event! The Road to The Ultimate Challenge

On this Episode, Dave is again joined by the one and only PC Tunney to discuss two more huge events in pro wrestling history, Royal Rumble '89 and one of the biggest WrestleManias of all-time, WrestleMania V. However, the guys are also joined by the debuting Rob Bonette of The Mindless Wrestling Podcast to join in the discussion of Royal Rumble '89. The second Royal Rumble event was the first true PPV edition of the Rumble and saw a huge moment transpire in the disintegration of the relationship of the MegaPowers. It also included a big moment to spark the rivalry between "Ravishing" Rick Rude and The Ultimate Warrior, plus it concluded with, quite possibly, the most inconsequential Royal Rumble win in history. Dave, PC, and Rob also touch on that fateful night in Milwaukee in February of 1989, when the MegaPowers officially came to an end i

On this Episode, Dave is again joined by the one and only PC Tunney to discuss two more huge events in pro wrestling history, the inaugural Summer Slam and Survivor Series'88. However, the guys are also joined by the debuting DJ of The Mindless Wrestling Podcast to join in the festivities. Summer Slam '88 was a key event in the story of the rise, and eventual fall, of The Mega Powers. But it also saw a different kind of explosion as The Ultimate Warrior burst upon the scene like few had before him with an iconic dethroning of The Honky Tonk Man. The fellas look at how the events of that night in MSG nearly 35 years ago redefined an industry. From there, Dave & DJ recap the second Survivor Series. While not as unique or good as the first Survivor Series, there were still many key moments that took place that night. The Mega Powers would b

The 1988 Royal Rumble was different than any other Rumble in history and not just because it was the first. Dave and Tunney break down the fascinating history of the first installment of an event that would evolve into an annual favorite for many in the WWE Universe. From there, the guys recap the surreal events that led to the end of Hulk Hogan's 4-year reign as WWF Champion and set the stage for, arguably, the most important tournament in WWE History at WrestleMania IV.

The backstory for the very first Survivor Series is fascinating and shows how nasty things were between the WWF and NWA many years before the Monday Night Wars even existed.
