Number four on our list is all about history. Heritage and tradition are signposts of the past. What has gone by and using it as a measuring stick against the present. Wrestling is not immune to the influences of time either, and as the world itself changes so too is it reflected in everything we see inside the squared circle. We’ve already said th…

It’s finally here. The start of the most ambitious and comprehensive podcasts we’ve done to date. This is The Five Count; where Beyond The Beermat goes in depth into the moments, events, people and circumstances that changed the wrestling business forever. You’ll be getting no spoilers from us in terms of the contents within this – nor any – of our…

Fifty episodes. Just how did we get here? Documenting history can be a difficult task. One that quite literally requires more work every single day. It’s good to take a step back every now and then however, to look at all the journey up until this point. In reaching the half century mark, Beyond The Beermat is kicking it up a gear. For our next run…

A moment in time can last forever. Some events are so seismic their aftershocks are felt long after the dust has settled. Twenty years ago, what was to be a fairly innocuous PPV in WCW history became one of it’s most infamous. It began with a match that wasn’t, featured a promo that would blur the lines in a way that few have ever equaled and ended…

Having all the tools isn’t enough. Potential can only be realized through the right amount of time and nurturing, which does ultimately take a wrestler’s fate out of their own hands. In the case of Dolph Ziggler, who has returned to the top of the card in recent weeks, it’s the story of an entire career to date that has threatened to blossom time a…

The names at the top of the marquees that matter the most are those of the performers themselves. The banner under which they’re wrestling shouldn’t mean anything in the grand scheme of things, and yet it does. Much like the superstars, companies change and grow over the years and we have similar peaks of interest or detachment. A few days ago, the…

Not quite all, but a large majority of the important moments in wrestling history all rest in the hands of a select group. While we see them all the time, they exist out of our conscious mind. To the point where on the occasions where they do take centre stage, it’s very clear something drastic has happened. Whether it be storyline or something eve…

Hype isn’t so much an aspect of the wrestling industry but one of it’s most important building blocks. The process of putting champions, challengers or even circumstance onto a pedestal is an art form onto itself. Part of our unwritten contract as fans is to acknowledge it all. To understand that being told someone – or something – can reach a leve…

Time waits for no man. Some men however, have no interest in delaying it. They are the ones that will write the pages of history, that will remain a constant in our memory. Generations will come and go and what once was future will become past. Standing tall among all of that, that’s how legends are made. With every Wrestlemania – and indeed – cale…

That flash of recognition is all powerful. Coming face to face with the familiar once again. Reunions – even with those we didn’t fully appreciate – are always joyous; on the outset at least. Wrestling feeds this feeling to the extreme. Often the biggest cheers, the loudest pops and wildest reactions are reserved for those we haven’t seen in a whil…

Whether it be from the world of acting, music or even other sports; wrestling loves extending the invitation across media outlets. In a world already full of outrageous characters, when you add an extra helping of star power can add to the spectacle of it all in a big way. Over the years, there have been many successes and failures when it comes to…

While the world around us continues to change, it’s nice to have certain things you can rely on. The joys of a nice cold refreshing adult beverage after a hard day of staying at home, the sheer fact this podcast will always remain the very epitome of high quality content and the idea that things move at a breakneck speed within the world of wrestli…
