A weekly internet wrestling podcast started by about a dozen or so members of the [[The Spoony Experiment (Web Video)|Spoony Experiment]] forums to fill in the gap for a faltering schedule and a need for their opinions to be known, but not affiliated with [[Noah Antwiler|Spoony ]] in any way other than being fans of his work.
