S1E25 - The Iron Man Wrestling Podcast – Episode 25

Welcome to the 25th episode of the Iron Man Wrestling Podcast. This week The Fallen Angel and The Real Deal take you on a merry romp through the world of professional wrestling. This week's topics:

• News

CM Punk in UFC, Wrestlemania 33, Paige and WWE, Ryback, Vince McMahon, WWE possibly buying TNA, Hulkamania running wild, and Real Deal's "Glorious" t-shirt. It does exactly what it says on the tin.

• WWE Backlash 2016

We review the first Smackdown-only PPV since the brand split earlier this week. Was it a success? Well there are less matches than a 2000-era WCW PPV event, so that's a bonus. We chip in our thoughts and ratings for each match and the event overall.

• Cruiserweight Classic Finale

The final episode of the Cruiserweight Classic comes under the spotlight. It's been a great tournament all told, that's all you really need to know. How will WWE incorporate the Cruiserweights into Monday Night Raw?

• Main Event Jobber - Undertaker vs Hulk Hogan (Judgement Day 2002)

If you thought the Hulk Hogan/Triple H match from Backlash 2002 was bad, then it's nothing compared to this one. An eleven minute "classic". Ahem.

• Coming Up

Hidden Gems, The Marine films (finally!), and yet more. The Fallen Angel finds a bundle of Sharpies. The WWE Network are launching an animated stories series, and er... Eva Marie. It's a desperate attempt at clawing our way to the finish, and somehow find even more to talk about. Go figure.
