FULL DISCLOSURE! I never watched Z! True Long Island Story when it was first coming out. In fact, I was not watching much professional wrestling at the time, if at all.

Just like Z! True Long Island Story, we were taught to take chances on ourselves . We either get noticed or don’t get used. My goal is to be the last ever Broski of the Week. I will either get noticed and win or I won’t be Broski of the Week at all. MC! has been an amazing trip down memory lane...Read full review »

This podcast is a fun trip down memory lane. As Matt was climbing the proverbial wrestling wall, I was down at Illinois finishing up my degree. It was during this time that we stumbled upon the “Z!

Z! True Long Island Story was a big part of my reintroduction to wrestling. I grew up mainly with the attitude era with some golden age and new gen that my older brother showed me, but after some time into the ruthless aggression era, I took a short hiatus. It wasn’t until college around 2009...Read full review »

10 years ago, I was in the audience during a WWE show in Boston. During the main event, the crowd cheered so loudly for Zack Ryder that CM Punk went in the back and brought Zack out for the live crowd. This was easily one of the most memorable things I’ve witnessed at a WWE show. This podcast...Read full review »

I need to shockingly win this Broski of the Week Headband in the final moments like Zack Ryder at WrestleMania 32. Like Matt says, “Not to prove my haters wrong, but to prove myself right”.
