It's time for WARGAMES! Nate and Eric debate the best of this revolutionary match from the brain of Dusty Rhodes--from the rugged JCP days of 1987 to the return 30 years later in NXT to the elevation to the main WWE roster as we know it today. Who shed blood? Who broke their neck? Who won the coin toss? (Spoiler: It's almost always the heels.) Who submitted to an armbar? And which matches made the violent, chaotic, double-ring, double-cage WarGames a permanent fixture in our memories--and on our Mount Rushmore? Listen up and find out!

Yikes! It's part two of the chronicling of the greatest pro wrestling horror stories. Who died? Who almost died? Who got hurt a little? (Hint: It was Nate. And it was more than a little.) On the heels of what Nate thinks was our best episode, here's the second half of our Mount Rushmore of (yikes!) Horror Stories!

If you're looking for feel-good professional wrestling memories from Nate and Eric this week... you came to the wrong campfire. The guys share some of the horror stories from the folklore of our favorite sport--things that make us wonder why it's our favorite sport. That might be extreme, but so are these tales of violence, tragedy, and sometimes even worse.

Check out part one this week, and stay tuned for part two next week!
