This one probably shouldn’t exist… but here we are.
In Episode 13 — The Forbidden Episode — we push the boundaries of wrestling talk, podcast decency, and possibly our listener count. It’s chaotic, it’s unfiltered, and it might just be our best (or worst) episode yet.

We dive into the latest happenings across WWE, AEW, and more, while keeping it fully off the rails with our signature segments:

• 🔥 Booked or Cooked – One storyline had us marking out, the other deserves to be locked in catering forever.

• 👑 Ring Queens – There's a new undisputed queen of the ring, and she didn't come to play.

• 🐎 Saddle Up – Cowboy Cody is on a warpath. Again. Brock Lesnar slander? Absolutely.

• 🧠 Weird AF – Things get weird. Real weird. Let’s just say... you’ll never look at wrestling hands the same.

• ⚔️ Battlegrounds – It’s fantasy warfare, and this week’s picks could break the internet… or at least the locker room.

Whether you're a fan of WWE Raw, SmackDown, AEW Dynamite, Rampage, Collision, or just indie wrestling chaos, this episode has a little something for everyone — especially if you're into unfiltered opinions, sarcasm, and shots fired at creative booking.

Step into the shadows and into the stories you don’t hear on TV.
In the debut episode of Dark Match, we sit down with the iconic Chris Fortune — a true southern outlaw of the ring, straight outta Arkansas.

Chris opens up about his wrestling upbringing, the grind of the indie scene, and the moments that made him fall in love with this business. From small-town shows to late-night drives, he shares real stories from the road — the kind you only hear when the cameras are off and the ring is empty.

Whether you’ve followed Chris Fortune for years or you’re just discovering him now, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who loves the gritty heart of professional wrestling.

🎧 Dark Match is your backstage pass to the stories behind the stories — featuring the names you may not know (yet), but won’t forget once the bell rings.

Welcome back to This Is Not a Shoot Podcast, the most unpredictable, unfiltered, and absolutely unnecessary wrestling podcast on the internet. It’s Episode 12 — and this week, we brought the chaos.

In this episode, we kick things off with Weird AF, our segment where the strange, the unexplained, and the downright uncomfortable enter the wrestling conversation. This week? Let’s just say… it involves a hand. Yes, a hand. If you’re thinking Mae Young vibes, you’re not far off — but trust us, it somehow gets weirder.

From there, Cowboy Cody saddles up and lets loose his frustrations in Saddle Up. The main target? Brock Lesnar. Cowboy’s officially tired of The Beast Incarnate and lets it be known loud and clear. Whether you’re Team Suplex City or ready for Brock to hang up the MMA gloves and cowboy boots, you’ll want to hear this rant.

Then it’s time for everyone's favorite judge, jury, and executioner of storylines — Booked or Cooked. We put some of this week’s biggest wrestling narratives on the grill and decide: are they booked solid or cooked beyond saving? One major WWE return earns big points, while an AEW storyline gets roasted. You'll have to tune in to find out who got the praise and who got the pan.

Next up: Ring Queens, our spotlight segment celebrating the women who are absolutely dominating the wrestling scene. A new Reigning, Defending Ring Queen is crowned in Episode 12 — but we’re not telling you who unless you press play. What we will say: she’s fierce, she’s consistent, and she’s elevating women’s wrestling across the board.

And finally… the Battleground is set. In our weekly fantasy warfare segment, we each draft a superstar to go head-to-head in a hypothetical battle of charisma, skill, and storyline potential. This week’s picks? Absolute fire. Expect legends, future Hall of Famers, and just enough controversy to start a Twitter war.

💬 Whether you're into WWE, AEW, NXT, TNA, NJPW, or just here for the chaos — we’ve got something for you.

🎯 Episode Highlights:

• 🖐️ Weird AF: A hand. That’s it. That’s the post.

• 🤠 Saddle Up: Cowboy Cody vs. Brock Lesnar’s entire existence.

• 🔥 Booked or Cooked: Hot takes on what’s working and what’s dead on arrival.

• 👑 Ring Queens: The crown has shifted — find out who’s on top.

• ⚔️ Battlegrounds: Fantasy warfare gets real (again).

Things got weird — and we mean Weird AF. In Episode 11, we debut our strangest segment yet, dive headfirst into chaos, and still manage to hit every wrestling beat: Ring Queens, Saddle Up, Foreign Exchange, Booked or Cooked, and more. If you’re looking for serious wrestling analysis… we’re not sorry.

We made it to double digits, and somehow things are only getting weirder. In Episode 10, we dive into new beginnings, wild predictions, and a fresh wave of wrestling chaos. New segments. New energy. Same unfiltered nonsense. It’s a whole new world, and we’re probably getting banned from it.

We pay tribute to the legend himself — Hulk Hogan — as the wrestling world loses one of its biggest icons. But in true Shoot fashion, it’s not all tears and tributes. We dish out hot takes, roast each other like it’s WrestleMania weekend, and talk the current state of wrestling with zero filters. Rest in peace to the Hulkster… this one’s for you, brother.

Episode 8 is packed tighter than a Royal Rumble ring. We rolled out fresh segments, roasted each other like only we can, and broke down the current state of wrestling — with major props to the women who are absolutely carrying the game right now. It’s jokes, jabs, and just enough insight to pretend we know what we’re talking about.

“We’re deep in the heart of Texas and deeper in our wrestling opinions. In Episode 7, we break down the All In buzz, speculate wildly, argue respectfully (kinda), and cowboy up for another chaotic ride. It’s hot takes, hometown pride, and just enough nonsense to make your drive bearable.”
