    Dank Side of the Ring
    2025/04/20

    Welcome to Dank Side of the Ring—the only show where the matches are cursed, the gimmicks are chaotic, and the booking decisions feel like a fever dream. In this episode, we break down the strangest, silliest, and most unexplainable matches in wrestling history.

    From Judy Bagwell on a forklift to mimosa mayhem, from eye extractions to invisible battles, this is the side of wrestling where logic goes to die—and entertainment is born.

    What We Cover:

    The Reverse Battle Royal (yes, that’s real)
    Matches involving forklifts, mimosa vats, and electric chairs
    Cinematic chaos from Matt Hardy’s universe
    The legendary “Invisible Man vs Invisible Stan”
    Why some of these matches are so bad… they’re amazing
    And how we secretly (or not-so-secretly) love them all


    Join us as we laugh, cringe, and celebrate the absurdity that makes pro wrestling so damn fun.
