Talking Tourneys #27: Prestige Cascadia Wrestling Cup 2023

TALKING TOURNEYS is back.  We've heard your clamoring and the demands, so we're thrilled to announce that Talking Tourneys is back with a bang, and it's now a Dan Rice solo production!  In this exciting new chapter, of Talking Tourneys, each episode will feature Dan in conversation with a rotating lineup of amazing co-hosts. And to kick things off, we couldn't have asked for a better guest than the one and only Tim from Q&TR!  Tim and Dan dive deep into Prestige's 2023 Cascadia Wrestling Cup https://linktr.ee/violentpeople Thank you Sam

26: MLW's Opera Cup 2023 & AIW's Bill Alfanzo Hardcore Tournament 2023

Dan & Sam are finally back after months away.  We heard what fans were saying, what they were begging for. They wanted to hear about Court Bauer's Major League Wrestling's Opera Cup. A tournament that according to Court Bauer (ETI - Extremely Trustworthy Individual), goes back decades. Nearly a hundred years quite frankly. Who were we, mere podcast hosts, to say to cover such a tournament? Sure there are only four wrestlers, something we absolutely knew ahead of time. Then to keep up with the 2023 vibes, we cover Sam's favorite promotion, AIW. They have their maybe, possibly annual tournament from Bill Alfanzo (who is alive btw). The results here might surprise you.  As always, thank you for listening. If you enjoyed the show, any of them frankly, drop us a review and give us the old 5 stars on any platform that allows you to. Every little bit helps the reach of this thing.  https://linktr.ee/violentpeople

25: NWA Smoky Mountain's Smoky Mountain Cup 2016

Talking Tourneys is back to talk about one of the all-time tournaments. All the stars are here, Anthony Henry, Lio Rush, Jason Kincaid, Jordan Kage, etc.. A classic format of 6 first-round matches and a 6 person elimination final. We have a type as of late. We also talk about Sam's trip down to the territory briefly.

24: Tetsujin BEAUTY IN COMBAT

Tim is back as our first-time 2x guest to talk about the first Tetsujin tournament. During the course of the show we talk about what makes good tournament composition, Dan brings up some scathing tweets from the past, and if anything shoot style is good. LINKS!

23: wXw AMBITION 11 (The Canadian One)

As always planned, releasing wXw AMBITION 11 episode, 4 years to the day of it happening. Just great forethought all around. Sam and Dan, back at it again. Avoiding talking about too many problematic individuals. We have Thatcher and WALTER in pro wrestling matches so you know we are thriving to some degree.
