In celebration of one year of their Patreon, Braden & Davie are releasing one of their favourite shows that they've done... for free! Braden Herrington and Davie Portman nerd out over more old school wrestling with another BEST MATCH EVER, and this time they are joined by POST Wrestling's John Pollock to review, rate, and dissect the best matches of Stan Hansen. The lads go in-depth through the history of the always angry Texan who had a huge wrestling career over in Japan. From his matches with Andre the Giant in 1981, to Kenta Kobashi in 1993, to the infamous Vader "eye socket" incident in 1990, and all the lariats in between. They soak in all the wrestling knowledge and stories from John (who busts out his G1 coffee match rating system) as they all give their thoughts on which Stan Hansen match is the best. (This show was recorded on May 22, 2020) On the upNXT Patreon, Braden and Davie review AEW Dynamite each Thursday as well as retro NXT reviews, Best Match Ever, plus movie reviews, and tons of other podcasts all for only $5 a month at Patreon.com/upNXT Follow upNXT: Twitter | YouTube | Patreon BDE Chiptune Theme by BetaClubFieldTrip.Bandcamp.com Listen to upNXT every Thursday: Apple Podcasts | Android | Spotify | Google Play | Stitcher | TuneIn | Mac & PC | RSSSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
