Vincent Verhei, the long-suffering co-host of the Bryan and Vinny Show, has finally gone solo! No longer held back by the confines of a pro wrestling chat show, Big Vinny V’s unfettered artistic genius is free at last to discuss … well, mostly pro wrestling still, but covering different shows than he was before, from WWE to Japan to US indies to classic matches or whatever else falls across his radar. But this is not simply a wrestling show, no no no. Vinny is a well-rounded individual who will also examine the NFL, comic books, kaiju movies, video games, streaming comedies, fattening foods, and random esoteric minutia of interest only to himself and a handful of others. There are thousands of podcasts in the world, but only one is hosted by a superheavyweight, a MENSA member, a world traveler, a cat lover, a carjacking survivor, and your loyal friend—it’s THE BIG VINNY V SHOW!

The Big Vinny V Show, Jan 28th

Heavy lies the head that wears the crown -- no sooner has Joe Hendry won the TNA World Title than he finds himself defending it against Matt Cardona on the latest episode of TNA Impact. We also have a knockouts trios match that sets up Masha Slamovich's next challenger, an invader from NXT; Josh Alexander explaining why he quit TNA and then, apparently, un-quitting; a short, big-na

The Big Vinny V Show, Jan 21st

It's a special edition of the show with a very special guest: MMA and pro wrestling vet Filthy Tom Lawlor! We'll start with WWE Smackdown, a very long show that featured Kevin Owens vs. Rey Mysterio in a first-time matchup and Tiffany Stratton's defending the women's title for the first time as she faces off against Bailey. Then we'll cover AEW Collision, which opened with the late

The Big Vinny V Show, Jan 14th

Heading into Genesis, one of their biggest shows ever, TNA Wrestling used this week's Impact to make Joe Hendry look like a main-event star, not just a viral influencer on social media. That starts with a lengthy video package highlighting Hendry's charisma, courage, and legit background in combat sports; it ends with a dominant performance in a main event tag match, teaming with R

The Big Vinny V Show, Jan 7th

Somebody at TNA Wrestling decided it would be a good idea to keep the wrestling to a minimum on a two-hour wrestling show. Your full card: Ryan Nemeth vs. Rhino, Ace Austin vs. Kushida, and an eight-woman knockouts tag. Yes, that's it. In between, we have a Joe Hendry promo, a Jordynne Grace promo, a Rascalz promo, a Moose promo, a Kazarian promo, a Nic Nemeth promo, and several mi

The Big Vinny V Show, Dec 17th

Total Nonstop Action's last big show of 2024 was Final Resolution, the company's second app special in two weeks. With so little time to promote a show, perhaps it's no surprise that the biggest story coming out of the event wasn't any of the matches, but a returning star: Tessa Blanchard, last seen in the company as their reigning world champion before she was fired under multiple

The Big Vinny V Show, Dec 10th

Somebody at TNA Wrestling scheduled two app specials in two weeks, leaving the crew scrambling to throw a card together with no time to waste. So we get a five-way match as KUSHIDA, Trent Seven, Ace Austin, Leon Slater, and JDC battle to see who will challenge Moose for the X Division title at Final Resolution; a tag match set up for no reason other than four mean dudes all feel li

The Big Vinny V Show, Dec 3rd

The latest app special from Total Nonstop Action saw Nic Nemeth defending the world championship against Eddie Edwards in an excellent main event that raised further questions about the champ's relationship with John Layfield. We also saw the continuing rise of Mike Santana, whose arrival in the main event scene now looks inevitable; Joe Hendry in the turkey suit match, which made

The Big Vinny V Show, Nov 26th

TNA Impact this week was dedicated to building up Turning Point. That was the theory, at least. The good news is we now know Masha Slamovich will be defending the Knockouts title against Jordynne Grace on that show, and there's reason to believe it will be even better than last time. Otherwise? We have Ash by Elegance going on a win streak against the Knockouts tag champs; Mike San

The Big Vinny V Show, Nov 19th

With their next app special only two weeks away, TNA Wrestling has no time to waste in building a card for that show. Nic Nemeth will defend the TNA World title against Eddie Edwards at Turning Point, but first he has to get past Edwards' tag partner Brian Myers on Impact. And Joe Hendry's not done with the champ, but he also has a score to settle with Nic Nemeth's Brother Ryan. El

The Big Vinny V Show, Nov 12th

TNA Impact was kind of a one-match show this week, but what a great match it was: Speedball Bailey defends his X Division title against Moose in a David-and-Goliath contest pitting the promotion's top big man against one of its best high-flyers. Otherwise? Joe Hendry desperately tries to make us care about Ryan Nemeth; Wendy Choo in her TNA farewell faces Rosemary; and there's a no
