  • In this episode of Wrestling With Atheism, Josh and Damo have a laugh while watching the 1992 Royal Rumble. Damien gives Josh a walk back through pro-wrestling nostalgia.

    To get the most out of this episode, watch it along with the WWE video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XPi2RKYPX0

    5m10s of our episode lines up with 2m13 of this video which is the first Rumble entrance!

    We've cut the ads out of our recording, so if you do watch it - don't forget to mute the sound on the YT video so you get our commentary, and pause our episode if you get YouTube ads so you get the full experience!

    *CORRECTION* One of our listeners advises that Sgt. Slaughter had signed a contract with Hasbro, not Mattel as Damien had mentioned.

    Promos discussed:
    - The Shockmaster debut
    - Yukon John introduces Scott "Flapjack" Norton.
    - Scott Steiner's famous maths promo.
    - Jumpin' Jeff Farmer is mad...or so he tells us!
    - Davey Boy Smith's makes a compelling case as to why he's called The British Bulldog.
    - Johnny Ace, the man in Japan, gives advice for when you either haven't got it or don't get it.
    - Eli Cottonwood's Moustache promo from NXT Season 2.
    - The Ultimate Warrior's anti-smoking PSA.
    - Hulk Hogan is the right gay guy.
    - Sid Vicious is twice the guy we are, though maybe not with the same brainpower.
    - The Rebel Dick Slater waves his stick...of bread...around.
    - Booker T is coming after Hulk Hogan...no more need be said.
    - Kalisto is going to shock the world...and maybe do some good lucha things as well!
    - Gene Snitsky reassures us that Lita's miscarriage wasn't his fault (and the camera gets a bit too close for comfort).
    - Brock Lesnar forgets his lines. Braun Strowman saying "Beasty Boy" will never get old.
    - Hulk Hogan turns heel and kills TNA with one "6 Sides" stone (with a special appearance by Robocop & Sting).
    - The Miz forgets his lines.
    - Outback Jack promises to give Killer Khan a run for his money.
