Cup Check Wrestling 14 - Midget Wrestling Warriors in Merritt

An abbreviated edition of the Cup Check Wrestling podcast as Schulzie and Ace navigate through technical difficulties to ensure a firm curfew can be met.
The boys discuss Schulzie's experience at the Midget Wrestling Warriors show in Merritt over May long weekend. A fantastic independent professional wrestling show in front of a hot crowd that had a non-traditional wrestling energy to start.
From there, the boys take a look at the upcoming AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view event and Schulzie wraps up with a report from Trash Wrestling in Penticton and major news out of Prince George.

Cup Check Wrestling 13 - Just Starting Over

After a two-week hiatus due to busy schedules, mental wellness days and viral infections, Schulzie and Ace are back to discuss their experiences with Thrash Wrestling in Kamloops and VIPW in Duncan, respectively.
 
From there, the boys break down WWE Backlash, featuring Seth Rollins' battle with Father Time and Schulzie and Ace coming to grips with their own mortality, differing opinions on Danhausen's partner and comedy matches, a fantastic main event and dread of starting over with more Bloodline lore.
 
The podcast ends with well wishes to Rebel and a look back at Ted Turner's legacy on the world of professional wrestling, which includes an unexpected tie-in to one of Cup Check Wrestling's staples.

Cup Check Wrestling 12 - Five Star Classic Review of WrestleMania

Amid illness and air travel, Schulzie and Ace were able to get through both nights of WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas!
On the aggregate, one of the most morally bankrupt, soulless two-day events that had professional wrestling interrupt its advertisements. However, it remarkably had one of the greatest main events and matches in WrestleMania history, giving WWE fans a glimmer of hope amid the TKO Group bleakness.
The boys breakdown a tale of two WrestleMania main events - one of the greatest and one of the worst on back-to-back nights - and everything in between. All while getting off track to determine if Randy Orton has had more great matches than the Miz, argue over what's WWE's perception of a five-star match and dancing on the pro wrestling grave of Pat McAfee.

Cup Check Wrestling Ep. 11 - Vibes Up, Elbows Down at AEW Dynasty

Where the best friends watch the best wrestle!
Schulzie and Ace and their loved ones attended AEW's Dynasty pay-per-view event in Vancouver. A terrific, entertaining show that put Schulzie on the broadcast, had Daniel Garcia and the Vancouver Police Department interacting with a familiar face in a hot Vancouver crowd and, unfortunately, featured one or two too many Canadians losing on home soil.
The boys react to the big show, the new AEW Men's World champion (NOT Kenny Omega...) and give their predictions for WrestleMania weekend.

Cup Check Wrestling Ep. 10 - World Cupcheck Wrestling 2000

Ace returns to the podcast to discuss his special birthday, his newest member of his family and his boots on the ground report from VIPW in Nanaimo!
The boys also take time to give praise to midget wrestling. Chris Jericho is (still) All Elite! Schulzie and Ace determine what the "Cornerstone" has to offer AEW at the ripe ol' age of 55, his value to the company compared to his value to WWE and the balance of riding the young generation and getting value out of established veterans.
(tw: sexual assault, suicide from 1:42:20-2:00:00) Janel Grant filed her opposition motion to compel arbitration in her lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE, bringing forth new details about her allegations. Oral arguments are expected to be made on June 16 and the judge is expected to rule if the case will go to arbitration or not shortly after that.

From there, WWE tries to remind us of the late 1990s and early 2000s but unfortunately go full WCW 2000 in the process. Pat McAfee says the company and product that WWE fans consume is cold and awful and buries the top babyface. Buy your WrestleMania tickets today!
Schulzie ends the podcast with some optimism regarding NJPW's rebuild and the boys iron out recording details ahead of AEW Dynasty in Vancouver and WrestleMania weekend.

Cup Check Wrestling Ep. 9 - A New Wrestling Show for Ace's Birthday!

It's just Schulzie on the first, and hopefully rare, solo edition of Cup Check Wrestling as Ace celebrates his birthday and the boys deal with a week of "it's always something."
A new nationally televised wrestling program is coming as Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling announced it has secured a media rights deal with TSN. Schulzie breaks down how this all came to be and what he hopes to see from a national Canadian pro wrestling company.
AEW has announced three matches for its Dynasty pay-per-view in Vancouver, the undercard of WrestleMania is filling out and Jelly Roll almost makes Schulzie give up like John Cena when it comes to WWE.

Cup Check Wrestling Ep. 8 - Two Weeks of Lore and WWE

One week after focusing all their time and effort recapping AEW's Revolution pay-per-view event, Schulzie and Ace are back with regularly scheduled programming.
The boys discuss the weeks that were, including motor vehicle mishaps and wrapping up a theatre production for Ace and a Thrash Wrestling report from Schulzie that touches on the action inside the ring and in the stands.
Finally, the B.C. buds no longer delay the inevitable: WWE's overall creative direction and how a few good segments can't overcome a lackluster, nonsensical build to WrestleMania. Schulzie also loses his grasp with reality while searching for Gunther.

Cup Check Wrestling Ep. 7 - Find the Needle in the Hangman

In a unique edition of Cup Check Wrestling, Schulzie and Ace focus on AEW's Revolution pay-per-view - a show that lasted until 9:30 p.m. PT - because the boys need some sleep before beginning the school and work week. The weekend lore - featuring the conclusion of Ace's theatre production and Schulzie's report from Thrash Wrestling in Kamloops - along with the important notes from WWE will be addressed later in the week.
 
Until then, the boys come to grips with MJF retaining the AEW Men's World Championship fair and square in a bloody, disgusting, glorious, CM Punk lore filled Texas Death match, meaning "Hangman" Adam Page can never challenge for the top prize in AEW ever again... or maybe not, dude? Schulzie and Ace break down what could come next in one of the most creatively bold, or bone-headed decisions, AEW has ever made.
 
The show also features a ton of heels winning clean, a bunch of surprise turns, the Rizzler taking a bump, Ronda Rousey making her AEW debut and a Mexican pants off stand off during a night of fantastic wrestling that sets the stage for AEW Dynasty in Vancouver in four weeks.

Cup Check Wrestling Ep. 6 - ft. Mat Maverick

For the first time in its brief history, Cup Check Wrestling has a guest!
Mat Maverick, two-time VIPW champion, joins Schulzie and Ace for an excellent hour to discuss his career. From wrestling on Schulzie's backyard trampoline to headlining WrestleFest at Frank Crane Arena in Nanaimo, and getting an update on his journey recovering from a ruptured ACL. Mat also mentions how "Papa Maverick" pitched his way to be a key figure in the main event of the first WrestleFest.
From there, Schulzie and Ace discuss Cody Rhodes adding another sequel to his finished story becoming the new WWE champion, preview AEW's Revolution pay-per-view and give five big BOOMS to Big Boom AJ, despite the Costco Guys' dip in popularity.

Cup Check Wrestling Ep. 5 - Schulzie and Ace's Clustercup

Following a preposterously busy weekend, Schulzie and Ace cover a preposterously busy week in wrestling with a preposterously long podcast.
 
Amid the chaos, the B.C. buds unveil the first guest in Cup Check Wrestling history during the Indies segment.
 
Topics range from WWE's Elimination Chamber fallout, AEW's road to Revolution, ROH's new home, WBD-Paramount's merger and the singles debut of 14-year-old Brodie Lee Jr.
