9ES258: How Can She

by jorn on April 7, 2022 at 9:22 am

The Montreal podcast that would definitely flaunt a 5 million dollar Pokemon card at Wrestlemania is back with all of the hottest takes on geek and pop-culture.

It was Wrestlemania this past weekend which is the time of year where WWE tries its damnedest to gain wider cultural relevance than usual. The powers that be (aka Vince McMahon) will bend over backwards to try to get casual fans to tune in to the “Showcase of the Immortals” to watch pro wrestling. This year was no different featuring our beloved boys from Jackass and Logan Paul flaunting a 5 million dollar Pokemon card.

Let that sink in for a second, because that’s a lot to take in. That there is a Pokemon card worth over $5M USD. That Logan Paul owns it. That he wore it around his neck like bling at Wrestlemania.

More proof that we live in the dumbest timeline I guess.

Speaking of the dumbest timeline: we devote some time to talking about ‘The Slap” because this is a pop-culture show and one of the biggest celebrities slapping a comedian at The Oscars is the poppiest of pop-culture.

Was Big Willy freaking out on human growth hormones? We will certainly at least speculatethat he might be.

Meanwhile, on this this week’s episode of Garbage Time we get into some of the insane stories surrounding pre-production of Mad Max: Fury Road and we lament whether or not Wesley Snipes’ Blade is directly responsible for the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Show your support, subscriber and check out Garbage Time by subscribing on our Patreon page at the 9ES Deluxe tier.

Pat Laprade Wrestling Podcast – Pat on the Mat Episode 1

Posted In: Homepage, Other podcasts, Pat on the Mat, Podcast, Podcasting

Montreal’s New Wrestling Podcast! So last time we had Pat Laprade on Go Plug Yourself he mentioned to us that he would love to do this more often. Well, we’d be a couple of stupid idiots to turn down the offer so we’re super excited to announce that Pat will be joining Walter and I once a month for a brand new addition to the 9to5 (dot cc) podcast rotation! On the very first episode of Pat on the Mat we talk about Pat’s trip down to Orlando for Wrestlemania weekend and the million matches he saw while he was down there from multiple promotions. Next month we’re going to talk at least a little about retirement matches.

Be sure to visit quebecwrestling.ca/lutte.com for Pat’s historical website to learn even more about the history of wrestling in Quebec.

Enjoy the show!

How I Would Fix WrestleMania – The Perspicacious Geek

by keith on April 5, 2016 at 9:01 pm

Posted In: Blogs, Homepage, Keith, Perspicacious Geek

When you’ve only got an hour to write a blog and you’re drawing a blank you turn to what you know and what you’ve been thinking about for the past 48 hours. In my case, that’s wrestling. More specifically, WrestleMania.

As someone who frequents /r/squaredcircle on Reddit and reads my fair share of dirtsheets and episode recaps I think I can consider myself a pretty big “fan” of wrestling and by extension, the WWE. One only need to look at how often we have wrestlers over on Go Plug Yourself to know that.

That being said, the overall reaction in the “smark” (smart-mark, someone who’s into the product but knows far too much about the inner workings) crowd to the 32nd annual WrestleMania was pretty mixed to negative.

I mulled it over for a long time, and I think that WrestleMania in terms of being a collection of wrestling matches was pretty good. On an individual basis, there were no particularly dull matches to be had. But I was still wondering why I felt so unfulfilled.

I decided that it was because stories didn’t come together and nothing even really moved forward. It’s kind of weird because wrestling runs every week, 365 days a year. Every Monday has Raw, every Wednesday has a Smackdown and there are 12 pay per views a year. But if WWE has a “season finale” it’s WrestleMania.

That’s the part where I think it missed out this year. Maybe it’s the writer in me, but I kept thinking about how, without completely overhauling the outcomes, it could’ve been better. So, this is extremely self-indulgent, but here are my minor revisions that would have left me much more excited for what happened.

In the interest of keeping this short (something WWE gives zero fucks about) I’m not counting the pre-show. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

9to5 Entertainment System 82: How Do You Triforce?

Sophie has no voice! The boys hold it down and get all manly by talking about pro-wrestling and Mike Tyson. Every time I pay attention to our episode number it seems like it is getting closer and closer to a hundred. What a thing.

Oh yeah, there’s a point where we talk about the NHL Entry Draft and both Scott and I are right and wrong about how it works. The last place team has a 20% chance of picking first (down from 25%) but, since there is now a draft for 2nd and 3rd pick, they can drop as low as 4th pick overall. Source.
