Posted on by

This week on War Rocket Ajax, we’re joined by Impact Wrestling’s four-time X Division champion and eight-time World Tag Team Champion Of The World, Christopher Daniels! He’s a well-known comics fan and one of the most entertaining grapplers to step into the squared circle, so we have a talk about how he got into comics, what he’s reading, and eventually just sit around debating Brian Bendis and Jonathan Hickman like pals. It’s pretty rad. Plus, you get to hear an opinion from Daniels that I guarantee you have never heard on War Rocket Ajax before!

Movie Fighters: Ready To Rumble

Posted on by

ReadyToRumble

There’s no War Rocket Ajax this week, so instead, we’re bringing you MOVIE FIGHTERS a few days early!

This week, Matt and I sit through Ready to Rumble, the David Arquette/Scott Caan/Joe Pantoliano/Diamond Dallas Page/Oliver Platt film that may in fact be directly responsible for the death of WCW. Listen in as I try to defend Arquette but get stymied at every turn by a wrestling movie that seems to hate wrestlers, wrestling fans, and people who want to go see wrestling movies.

Also, we legit almost barf.

PLUS! Grab all five installments of our WrestleMovieMania series (No Holds Barred, 12 Rounds, No Contest, DOOM and Ready to Rumble) all at once, for a mere five bucks! There’s also a bonus episode where we watched a mystifyingly terrible episode of Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling that you can listen to for absolutely free, if you want to sample the show before you buy it!

One more thing! Speaking of War Rocket Ajax, there actually was a new episode last week that I completely forgot to post about. We spoke to Greg Rucka about The Prisoner, the greatest television show in history and the Rosetta Stone for understanding modern comics. Give it a listen, because it is basically the opposite of matt and I talking about Ready to Rumble.

Movie Fighters: DOOM

Posted on by

DoomThis week, we have hit Movie Fighters Bingo with DOOM, a movie that stars a wrestler, in a video game adaptation, directed by the man who brought you Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, with the worst lighting we have ever seen. We tackle the film based on a game that makes me dizzy, and I tell a 100% True Story of how people at my high school reacted to a shirt that I bought at Toys R Us.

It’s 90 minutes of podcasting fun for just one dollar, and it’s the penultimate entry in our WrestleMovieMania series! Go get it!

This week on War Rocket Ajax, we use the words “cutie mark” way more than you’d expect, even from a show with me on it. We’ve got Ted Anderson, writer of two issues of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic micro-series, and the official (well, maybe official) “NPR Brony.” We’ll talk about the appeal of the show, Ted’s connections, and the minefield of obsessive fandom in this week’s episode! Cheeeeeeeeck it out!

War Rocket Ajax #172: Subtle as a Freight Train with Spike Trotman!

War Rocket Ajax is back, and this week, we’ve got an incredible, high-energy interview with Spike Trotman, the creator of Templar, AZ, the writer of Poorcraft and the publisher of Smut Peddler! She tells us all about her history in comics and — amazingly — brings up pro wrestling and Achewood without being prompted at all. I think that means we’re besties now.

Plus, Matt and I discuss SummerSlam and unlimited meats, I gush even more about Saints Row IV, and Matt earns a new nickname!
