| 12/30/25 | Talking Tourneys #28: Nick Gage Invitational X | "TALKING TOURNEYS is back. We've heard your clamoring and the demands, so we're thrilled to announce that Talking Tourneys is back with a bang, and it's now a Dan Rice solo production!"That's what I said 16 months ago... Lets try it again!This episode I've got Violent People Radio's Pat on with me to discuss the tenth annual Nick Gage Invitational. | 1h 47m 37s | ||||||
| 8/23/24 | Talking Tourneys #27: Prestige Cascadia Wrestling Cup 2023 | TALKING TOURNEYS is back. We've heard your clamoring and the demands, so we're thrilled to announce that Talking Tourneys is back with a bang, and it's now a Dan Rice solo production! In this exciting new chapter, of Talking Tourneys, each episode will feature Dan in conversation with a rotating lineup of amazing co-hosts. And to kick things off, we couldn't have asked for a better guest than the one and only Tim from Q&TR! Tim and Dan dive deep into Prestige's 2023 Cascadia Wrestling Cuphttps://linktr.ee/violentpeopleThank you Sam | 1h 45m 46s | ||||||
| 3/14/24 | 26: MLW's Opera Cup 2023 & AIW's Bill Alfanzo Hardcore Tournament 2023 | Dan & Sam are finally back after months away. We heard what fans were saying, what they were begging for. They wanted to hear about Court Bauer's Major League Wrestling's Opera Cup. A tournament that according to Court Bauer (ETI - Extremely Trustworthy Individual), goes back decades. Nearly a hundred years quite frankly. Who were we, mere podcast hosts, to say to cover such a tournament? Sure there are only four wrestlers, something we absolutely knew ahead of time.Then to keep up with the 2023 vibes, we cover Sam's favorite promotion, AIW. They have their maybe, possibly annual tournament from Bill Alfanzo (who is alive btw). The results here might surprise you. As always, thank you for listening. If you enjoyed the show, any of them frankly, drop us a review and give us the old 5 stars on any platform that allows you to. Every little bit helps the reach of this thing. https://linktr.ee/violentpeople | 1h 15m 36s | ||||||

Zandig brings all the deathmatch stars from the US to a backyard in Delaware for a heckuva time. Toby Klein, Necro Butcher, and Ian Rotten, what more can you want?

As always, Dan and Sam break down the tournament, what worked, what didn't, who rocked, who stunk. | 1h 07m 25s | ||||||
| 1/21/24 | 17: Best Talking Tourney Wrestlers So Far | Back this week with a re-do of a previous episode that was lost to technical difficulties.

All in a day's work for Sam and Dan. | 1h 11m 08s | ||||||
| 1/21/24 | 16: WWA's 7 Deadly Sins Heavyweight Championship Tournement | Man...wtf are we doing? Jeremy Borash we need to talk. What's going on? Were you okay? How's your life been since? I hope you are well.Dan and Sam dig into the historical tournament from WWA, their first PPV. One of the large promotions to come out of WCW's end. How to they capitilize on the gap in the market from over in Australia. When you have talent like Road Dog, Jeff Jarrett, and Jerry Lawler, what could go wrong? | 1h 06m 18s | ||||||

| 1/21/24 | 14: NJPW's G1 Climax 1992 | New Japan Pro Wrestling got to slap on the NWA World Heavyweight Championship to their big tournament. What could go wrong? They even got to bring in stars from WCW like Steve Austin, Arn Anderson, and Rick Rude. Let alone their own draws like Mutoh, Chono, and Hashimoto. This tournament has all-timers throughout! Come join Dan and Sam as they break down all the action from the 1992 G1. | 1h 11m 39s | ||||||
| 1/21/24 | 13: WCW's Nintendo Top 10 Challenge | We continue our journey through wrestling tournaments asking the age old question "What the hell WCW?"The matches are made up and the tournament doesn't matter. We go through the logistics of this whole thing. How much did Nintendo spend on this? How much did they overpay? Who is to say???All the stars are here, Ricky Steamboat, Steve Austin, Ron Simmons, Dustin Rhodes and more. What could go wrong? | 45m 22s | ||||||
| 1/21/24 | 12: PWG's DDT4 2015 | We have the one and only Tim from Q&T Are (on this here podcast network).

| 1/21/24 | 11: wXw's 16 Carat 2011 | Back at it talking Westside Xtreme Wrestling's 16 Carat Gold Tournament from 2011. An important tournament in Sam's fandom. Big names at the time like Davey Richards, Sami Callihan, and WALTER (Big Van Walter here bby). This is when you could have these all-star type tournaments taking place outside wrestlers' home bases, EVOLVE and ROH in this case.As always, leave a review on iTunes, RT the tweets, subscribe, etc etc | 55m 48s | ||||||
| 1/21/24 | 10: State Of Wrestling Tournies 2023 | Life gets in the way sometimes so no WxW 16 Carat 2011 but with that Dan and Sam carve out some time to talk about the landscape of tournaments as they stand. Primarily on the US Indies but some level of international discussion as well. | 43m 18s | ||||||
| 1/21/24 | 9: FIGHTING NETWORK RINGS MEGA BATTLE 1994 | When Sam chose this tournament he did internalize how bad he is at pronouncing names. Safe to say he remembered while discussing this tournament.Mega Battle 1994 is a complicated tournament. If the RINGS rules weren't enough, they threw the kitchen sink at you with all the byes. Plus there are 20 wrestlers in this shoot-style tournament. Lot to work through. Luckily Dan and Sam are here to break down all the action. | 1h 15m 41s | ||||||
| 1/21/24 | 8: NWA Title Tournament 11/19/94 | Not That NWA Title Tournament From 1994! Paul Heyman can kick rocks, Shane Douglas sucks shit, we only respect Tracy Smothers in this (podcast) house. We talk a little bit about how this tournament comes to be but mostly focus on the hot action that takes place in New Jersey with a whole slew of Smoky Mountain Wrestling talent making their way to participate in a tournament for an organization they are not technically associated with. Dirty White Boy, Devon Storm, and Al Snow, yep all the stars are here.LINK TO SHOW: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mwh-r7tArw | 51m 13s | ||||||
| 1/21/24 | 7: Mid American Wrestling's Heavyweight Title Tournament 3/30/2002 | MAW RETURNS TO TALKING TOURNEYS! This was meant to be a short little bonus episode. Something nice and slight to keep things moving. It is only 4 matches and heck it features a rematch from the last tournament we reviewed, Ian Rotten versus CM Punk. We also technically get Colt Cabana, then some Mean Mitch Page and Corp Robinson to round us out. Let me tell you though, this tournament is built different. One of the absolute wildest segments I've seen and certainly the maddest one we've talked about on the show. Another humdinger from MAWLink to the show on IWTV: iwtv.live/promotion/Mid-Americ…Wrestling#zaMvNEN75r | 41m 58s | ||||||
| 1/21/24 | 6: Mid American Wrestling's Heavyweight Title Tournament 12/15/2001 | Everyone is talking about "The Hustler" Carmine DeSpirito. Some are calling him a genius. Some are calling him one of the great talkers of his generation. In a tournament with names like "The All Elite Evil" CM Punk, Ian "Don't Blame Me" Rotten, and Colt Cabana, it is DeSpirito who everyone will be talking about.Dan and Sam are back at it to discuss the iconic Mid American Wrestling Heavyweight Championship Tournament from 12/15/01. Lots of talent that would go on to do more in the business, from the folks previously mentioned to Adam Pearce to ROH HDNet legend, Skullcrusher Rasche Brown.Watch the tournament on the award-winning Independent Wrestling TV: independentwrestling.tv/promotion/Mid…can-Wrestling | 48m 47s | ||||||
| 1/21/24 | 5: NJPW Intercontinental Championship Tournament | In the middle of May 2011, New Japan Pro Wrestling decided to take their first tour of the United States of America. On this tour they debuted the Intercontinental title. You know, a title that at times was at times on par with the IWGP Heavyweight title. Obviously that belt had not-so-humble beginnings. Surely the tournament to crown the inaugural championship of the title that would become unified with the IWGP strap would be an incredible achievement. Join Sam and Dan as they break down the action, preach the word of Yano unironically, and dig into Josh Daniels lore. | 56m 30s | ||||||
| 1/21/24 | 4: AAA's Triplemania XXX Ruleta de la Muerte Torneo | This episode's tournament is a mouthful! For Talking Tourneys Halloween episode we turned to something a little more up-to-date, a little bloody, and where masks are the name of the game. A Dan pick this week as Sam hasn't watched any modern lucha because he is an absolute scumbag. A tournament with old men, older rivalries, and more overly produced wooden boards than you can shake a stick at. AAA does not disappoint, living up to its history of weird angles and lots of blood. Get ready for us to talk about Mr. No Nights Off Pentagon Jr., the living legend Canek, and the best in the world, Psycho Clown. | 48m 01s | ||||||
