Johnny "The Beast" Mortos and one half of the Old Bucks, Shaz Beef, dive deep into the infamous WWF New Generation Era. What really went wrong in this often-memed time in wrestling history? From Vince McMahon’s obsession with gimmick-heavy characters like evil dentist Isaac Yankem and sinister plumber TL Hopper, to the fallout from the steroid trial that rocked the business—this episode breaks it all down.

Why was Macho Man Randy Savage pushed to commentary? Was Vince’s vision just out of touch? Or was there something more behind the lackluster legacy of this era?

Join the lads as they uncover the good, the bad, and the very weird of mid-90s WWF.

From Andy Kaufman vs Jerry Lawler, to Robocop in WCW, to Kevin Federline pinning John Cena, the lads debate what works, what doesn't, and why wrestling just can’t resist Hollywood.

On today's episode of The Old Bucks, Shane and Morro sit down to tackle the backlash from their brutally honest WrestleMania 41 review. Did they go too far? Are they just too negative as wrestling fans? Does Triple H have a point when he says, "Don't be a critic, be a fan"?

The lads also take a step back from the current product to reflect on what made them fall in love with wrestling in the first place.

Let us know your thoughts: are wrestling fans too critical, or is it fair to expect more?
