TUESDAY NIGHT JAW

Inside the Mind of Mad Kurt

Tue, 10 Nov 2020 16:07:22 GMT

The wrestler formerly known as Kurtis Chapman joins Bozzers for this week's chinwag. The Keyboard Warrior, proudly blocked on Twitter by Donald Trump, is known for winding up fellow wrestlers on social media, but has he ever taken it too far and got himself into trouble outside of the ring? Have any wrestlers taken their gripes with Mad Kurt into the DMs? Is anyone safe from his poison tweet button? We explore.

Thanks to guest host Scroobius Pip for taking the time to lead the charge on this episode while Bozzers is in recovery. Check out the Distraction Pieces Podcast for more top work from this top bab.

Tuesday Night Jaw will be back just as soon as possible - see you soon!

If you don't know Suge, he's in the UK for the next six months and is really making his name here after spending his time doing good things on the indie scene in the USA. As the UK scene keeps growing, it's cool to get the perspective of someone who has moved here to be part of it, as opposed to the old tradition of British guys heading for the states to make their fortune. Suge is a GREAT guy and someone you should definitely be checking out if he's wrestling near you; this was a really fun chat and there probably needs to be a part two down the line!

Snow Day Stories and the 2017 TNJ Awards Primer

Wed, 13 Dec 2017 17:29:28 GMT

It's been snowing a lot here in the UK. You'd be aware of this, unless you lived under a rock (although if you did live under a rock, you'd then be hopefully protected from the snow). Jim and his PROGRESS colleagues had to put a show on this past weekend in Sheffield despite a lot of travel problems for the wrestlers, so he talks you through what it was like behind the scenes at the weekend.

Also, it's soon time to vote for the 2017 TNJ Year-End Awards; check out Jim's pinned tweet via @jimsmallman for instructions, but Jim talks you through them in the second half of the podcast so it hopefully all makes sense!

We put a whopping TWENTY people in this first time (don't want the first inductees rattling around in there) and it's a combination of people that mean a lot to us and choices of the TNJ listeners.

Five Man Teams To Represent A Decade: From the 1950s to Present Day

Wed, 29 Nov 2017 21:52:20 GMT

So with Jim doing a load of research recently and with Survivor Series still fresh in the memory, he's set about to create a list episode with a difference: Survivor Series style teams of five wrestlers, but from every decade from the 1950s to the 2010s. So each team has five men from that decade, one to represent a technician, brawler, big character, high flyer and team captain in each different team. Nobody can be in more than one team AND Jim only used guys that had significant appearances in the USA or Canada during each relevant decade, so it's not super Japan biased for once.

Have a listen and have a go yourself! Screenshot your choices and tweet them to @jimsmallman using #TuesdayNightJaw. And as always, SUPPORT THIS PODCAST by rating, reviewing and recommending it.

Tue, 21 Mar 2017 14:46:24 GMT

Ooh, it's a big list episode of Tuesday Night Jaw this week as Jim counts down not one but TWO top ten lists, using his usual rule system (you can only pick a wrestler once during your top ten list, and you can't choose more than one match per show).First off, with PROGRESS celebrating five years this week, Jim counts down his favourite ten matches in the history of the company he co-owns - you can watch them yourself on www.demand-progress.com - and he explains exactly why they mean so much to him.Then, with Wrestlemania just over a week away, he counts down his top ten matches from the Showcase of the Immortals. Using his own rules it is HARD to choose ten, but he got there!Get involved: Screenshot your lists and tweet them to @jimsmallman, using #TuesdayNightJaw.

As a joke, he went on Twitter and said he'd interview his wife about wrestling instead, as she's always the non-hardcore fan control that he mentions on nearly every roundtable (seriously, it's become a catchphrase).It was meant as a joke, but you guys sent in a load of questions and rather than not put a podcast out, Jim and Mrs S sat down after the baby had been put to bed and had a chat about wrestling, from both of their perspectives.

The Top Ten Royal Rumble Matches of All Time AND Jim Chooses His 30 Rumble Participants!

Well, you know how Jim Loves a list... so this week, with the Royal Rumble rapidly approaching this weekend, our host makes not one but two lists - so make sure you play along at home by tweeting @jimsmallman and using #TuesdayNightJaw.First up, Jim chooses his 30 names for the Rumble. The rules? 10 names from Smackdown, 10 names from Raw (not including the men involved in the respective title matches this weekend), plus 6 names from NXT / 205 Live / WWEUKCT and 4 legends / surprise entrants.Then it's the usual list for a big PPV: The top ten matches from the past. A bit different with the Rumble, as Jim has chosen his top ten preliminary matches plus his favourite Rumble match of all time. The usual rules for the top ten though: You can't pick the same wrestler twice or use matches from the same PPV. Obviously the Rumble match is a bit different and can include anyone - as long as you don't break the rule about one match per show!Don't forget to rate, review, subscribe and point newbies at www.jimsmallman.com/tnj.

With Summerslam around the corner, Jim decided to choose his favourite ten Summerslam matches ever... but with a few stipulations (as is the Tuesday Night Jaw way). Once he chose one match he couldn't use another from that same card (so two matches from Summerslam 92 wouldn't be allowed), nor could any wrestler appear more than once in the top ten. That made it much more tricky! Have a listen and tweet your list to @jimsmallman using #TuesdayNightJaw. TNJ is proudly part of the Distraction Pieces Network.

Jim Answers Your Questions - August Edition

Tue, 02 Aug 2016 13:31:39 GMT

With Jim waiting at home for his wife to go into labour, he's not been able to get out to interview anyone this week. He has been able to answer a plethora of your questions about WWE, PROGRESS, British Wrestling, NJPW and baby names though! It's all a bit stream of consciousness as he's stressed out waiting for contractions to start (and he's not even the one having them!) but he answers a lot of stuff. #TuesdayNightJaw is proudly part of the Distraction Pieces Network.

TNJ Meets William Regal

Tue, 19 Jul 2016 11:34:48 GMT

Well, this a bit of a special one. Jim had a chat with a British wrestling legend, the one and only William Regal. From his humble beginnings wrestling in Blackpool to being one of the driving forces behind NXT and the WWE Performance Centre, Mr Regal has seen and done it all. He talks about taking on all comers in Blackpool, his travels to Germany, Japan and South Africa, the best Terry Funk story we've ever heard, British wrestlers from the World of Sport era that you should know about and tons more besides. It's a great chat with a full-on hero! Make sure you subscribe, share around www.jimsmallman.com/tnj and tweet us with #TuesdayNightJaw. Thanks!

The TNJ New Japan G1 Climax Edition

Tue, 12 Jul 2016 12:33:36 GMT

So we've had a few questions about New Japan Pro Wrestling and the upcoming G1 Climax tournament, so we thought we'd put together a big episode to discuss all things NJPW and preview the month long round-robin competition. Joining Jim are Japanese wrestling nerd, presenter, ring announcer and all-round good egg Matthew Richards, and the less nerdy but still excellent comedian Chris Brooker. We answered questions, profiled everyone in the G1, talked about great matches and names from NJPW and had a good (and LONG) chat. Maybe put the kettle on before you start. And we're sorry about none of us being able to pronounce "Los Ingobernables" properly. Tweet us using #TuesdayNightJaw and keep spreading the word.
