And at least once (sometimes as many as twice!) a month, they get together to talk about professional wrestling the way it was meant to be discussed: each picking a match from wrestling history, presumably as a way to work out feelings about their childhood and the never-ending creep of time. Or, like, talk about how much fun it is to see people beat each other up.
For their fourth episode, Phil and Nick two of their favorite matches:
For Nick, it's Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard against the Road Warriors at Starrcade '87 and from Phil Los Brazos vs. Super Astro/El Dandy/Popitekus (Arena Coliseo, 5/3/1991) .
