Episode 11 is here my friends! We're back to our Chris Things Art "Match of the Week" Series with returning special guest co-host, best-mate David! This week we're talking all about an amazingly grotesque match from CZW's "Best of the Best" 2005 tournament. STIFF strikes, wicked chair-shots, brutal head-drops & an amazing underdog hero vs big boss badass story; this one had it all. A match that really defines the very best & worst of a wild, but amazing time in independent wrestling; El Generico vs SUPER DRAGON! We talk the match, the art, some other matches from the tournament & just the general wild vibes of this whole scene. ...& of course much nonsense. Enjoy!!

Episode 10 is here my friends! We're back to our Chris Things Art "Match of the Week" Series with a brand new special guest co-host in my dear friend, Bradley! This week we're talking all about a VERY SPECIAL match that was Low-Ki vs. KENTA from ROH Final Battle 2005. A very fun episode; in addition to going in-depth on this fantastic match & my illustration, we talk all of the things. From our own Brisbane-based pro wrestling days, to our big-time nostalgic love for this era of Ring of Honor, the excitement of getting wrestling DVDs in the mail, 'There Will Be Blood' & all things in-between! Just a total geek-fest love shesh for a special time in professional wrestling & possibly the PERFECT match. A way-fun episode if I do say so myself. Enjoy!!
