Hosted by longtime wrestling voice Shawn Puff and joined by Jimmy G, the walking wrestling vault, Smarks, Spotmonkeys & Superkicks returns with a new rotating format. Each week features one of four episode types: Controversy Autopsy, breaking down infamous storylines; Time Capsules, revisiting classic shows; Mythbusters, challenging wrestling’s accepted narratives; and Forgotten Gems, highlighting overlooked matches and eras. This isn’t a recap show — it’s a retrospective on what shaped wrestling and why it still matters.
Everyone calls this one of the greatest matches ever… but does it still deserve that reputation?
In this Case File episode, Shawn Puff and Wappo revisit Randy Savage vs Ricky Steamboat from WrestleMania III—a match that’s been praised for decades as a near-perfect classic.
But how does it actually hold up today?
From pacing and psychology to execution and impact, we break down what made this match legendary—and whether it truly lives up to the standard it set. Is this still one of the greatest matches of all time, or has its reputation carried it further than the match itself?
Classic… or overrated?

Halloween Havoc 1993: Chaos Without Direction
WCW didn’t suddenly become a mess… this show proves it already was. In this Time Capsule episode, Shawn Puff and Wappo go back to Halloween Havoc 1993—a pay-per-view that feels more chaotic than cohesive. From gimmick-heavy presentation to a lack of clear identity, this show highlights a company struggling to define itself.
But buried inside the confusion is one standout: Vader vs Cactus Jack—a match that feels completely out of place in the best way possible.
So what was WCW actually trying to be at this point? And does one great match change anything about the overall show?

Controversy Autopsy: Undertaker vs Undertaker
A legendary idea… that never had a chance to work.
Undertaker vs Undertaker sounded like a can't-miss moment. It wasn’t. Shawn Puff and Wappo revisit SummerSlam 1994 to dissect how one of wrestling’s most creative ideas turned into one of its most disappointing matches. Was it bad execution—or a concept that never could have worked?
