Matches To Show A Non Wrestling Fan

Shaz and Morro are back as The Old Bucks for a listener-suggested episode, with today’s topic coming straight from Oisín McCarthy in the Wrestling Fan Wrestling Show Discord.

The lads take on a deceptively difficult question: if someone had never watched wrestling before, what match would you show them first? Do you go straight for spectacle and shock with The Undertaker vs Mick Foley inside Hell in a Cell, or WrestleMania’s TLC 2? Is there still magic in larger-than-life moments like Hogan vs Warrior at WrestleMania VI? Or is the best entry point something more grounded, like Flair vs Steamboat from the 80s?

They also ask whether a John Cena match works as an introduction, how much context matters, and whether modern wrestling makes it harder or easier to hook new fans. A deep, thoughtful discussion that says a lot about what different people value in wrestling.
