New season March 25th next year. Also Dark Side of MMA.
 
  • Mick Foley: Hell in a Cell: “From the first terrifying fall off the cage to the impact he still feels today, Mick Foley relives a wrestling match, “Hell in a Cell ’98,” moment by moment.”
  • Blood, Fire and the Original Sheik: “The Sheik, whose violent career spanned fifty years, is revealed by his family and the few who survived his hardcore bloodbaths.”
  • Tony Atlas: Too Much, Too Soon: “With the physique of an Adonis and endless charisma, Tony Atlas makes his mark as one of wrestling’s first Black stars but racism, addiction and ego keeps Mr. USA from the top.”
  • Becoming Muhammad Hassan: “Just three years post-9/11, Marc Copani sees the highs and lows of wrestling when he’s given the chance to portray Muhammad Hassan, a villainous Arab-American character for the WWE.”
  • ‘Hot Stuff’ Eddie Gilbert: “Skilled as a performer in the ring and as a booker, who created storylines behind the scenes; ‘Hot Stuff’ Eddie Gilbert was a ticking timebomb of talent and self-destruction.”
  • Big Van Vader: “With an iconic look and skills few of his size could match, Big Van Vader stood out as a wrestling monster but controlling his anger became a bigger battle in and out of the ring.”

  • The Original ‘Superstar’: Billy Graham: “Often imitated, never duplicated, Billy Graham breaks the mold for what a wrestler could be but steroid abuse and battles with the McMahons keeps Graham from the spotlight.”

first ep a good one though it was more of a mick foley ep than strictly HIAC. .. which is good cause love me some mick foley.

still don't know how he pulled Collette, she was smoking hot back in the day and he was with her way before he became famous. Foley is GOD
 
Had no idea that Borga was a politician in Finland. Crazy line when he was voted in, he wanted people’s arms cut off for sexual assault and he said “I’ve never seen a woman assaulted by a guy with no arms.”
 
That podcast was so frustrating. Why do those guys have to jump in and explain things mid-clip? I want hear Foley, not those geeks.
I rarely do podcasts on any subject. What could be a good video becomes a hour-long laughing conversation. A video essay is better than people ad-libbing and talking over each other.
