This is a crime against humanity. Almost two hours of unwatchable wrestling, culminating with a kick that change the wrestling landscape forever. And not in a good way. BUT THE ITALIANS ARE COOL SO STARRCADE '99 GETS A PASS. Two And A Half Marks is not affiliated with the WWE/WWF/WCW/TNA/AEW/any promotion or any of the professional wrestlers named in this podcast.

We jump across the pond for some NXT Takeover, London edition. Despite only one Northern Islands wrestler (hi, Finn), the UK crowd is a force. Asuka and Joe bring auras, Dash and Dawson shatter dreams, and Bayley does her best John Cena impression.

"The Biggest Party of the Summer" lived up to it's name in 1998. Well, mostly. We have a DOOZY of a Co-Main featuring The Rock, Trips, 'Taker, and Stone Cold in some larger than life matches. We also have a Hair vs. Hair Match, more D'Lo being cool, and a LION'S DEN.

Hey, remember the pandemic? Money In The Bank 2020 was the 2nd PPV without fans, and boy could you tell they were throwing everything at the wall. A cinematic titular match, a chaotic Fatal 4-Way for the tag titles, and certified banger which was clamoring for fans.

Regarded as the last "good" WCW PPV, Spring Stampede '99 does generally deliver. The cruiserweights tear it up, Scott Steiner goes full Big Bad Booty Daddy, and DDP does the thing.

A rare, Hogan-less late 90's PPV, the '97 Bash is oddly just about wrestling. Not too many nWo hijinks, generally good matches, and DDP in the main event!

We are at the tail end of the "Real Sports" era, with a pending Hulk Hogan looming large over Spring Stampede '94. The card certainly feels like a big time event, but the finishes lead a lot to be desired. Nick Bockwinkel, do your job!

It should be illegal to have a boring Rumble. Fortunately for the 2017 version, the variety undercard carries the show. John G1-na, Charlotte's perfection, and an all-time classic bromance.

Purgatory AKA Mid-2010s WWE. Most of it was good/fine, but it still all felt the same. Roman is being forcefully pushed, there is still a Diva's Division, and we are just starting the AJ Styles Era of WWE.

WWE was really in their "Compliment Sandwich" bag here. A great opening Chamber for the Women's Tag Belts, a Kofi-tastic main event, but that's where it ends. When the midcard highlights are two separate beatdowns, you probably need to have a long look in the mirror.

Remember the years of WWE, pre-AEW? Repetitive story telling, matches that were "fine", and Shane McMahon was on TV every week. SummerSlam 2019 just felt like another PPV, but did have Dolph selling for Goldberg, Trish Stratus stealing the show, and the debut of The Fiend. Rest in peace, Bray.

What do you get when the booker man is also a motorcycle fanatic? Well, you get Hog Wild, a show with 0 official ticket sales. The first post-nWo show featured all 3 members in the final hour, which was the WORST of the entire show. Thank god for the undercard.
