Episode 48: Flame Still Burns

*DUH NUH* WE'RE BACK! And there is p-p-p-plenty to talk about after a long, hot, eventful Summa! But we mostly hand-wave that (saving for some hot opinions) and discuss AEW's mixed one-two of All In and All Out. Plus! Who is fixing the Freezoni machines at QuikTrip?! Also....CM Punk drops by (his reiki coach's house uninvited)!
Thanks to everyone who listens!

Episode 47: MPP Strong

Another big catch-up episode exploring the lull AEW has found itself in as they wind down another long-winded PPV cycle. Calm Hulk Hogan is invoked. NJPW's business strategies, especially as they relate to Mercedes Monè and any potential US growth, turns into this week's "Big Debate." Plus, all the wrestling news you can actually use to repel friends and discourage people!

Episode 46: Prime Talk

An episode wherein we did not cover a "big show" in full, you'd think we'd get out the door quickly. No! With all of the wild news, there was enough fuel for nearly three hours of gab and yak! We review, ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATE, and decipher:
Logan Paul's lab's discovery of the greatest sports drink yet
WWE's recent publicity nightmare (a lawsuit against their awful racist angles)
Stardom's Queendom double main event from 4/23
Joey's "DEFEND CM PUNK" bumper stick
State of AEW
More, more more!

Episode 45: Sakura Genesis 2023 review

After many delays, we were finally able to talk about Sakura Genesis 2023. So long as we're out ahead of SG 2024, it still counts!
Side note pertaining to one of the show's creators, Reclaim Joey:
It was recently revealed that he has been supporting his upper-crust lifestyle via a series of high-dollar Pokemon card heists. On the show, he denies the accusations as preposterous. An investigation has subsequently shown that former WWF talent Repo Man personally sold Joey his old ring gear (which is the get-up worn by the thief in blurry security cam footage). Reclaim Joey has since apologized and is dealing with the matter via his attorney. This will be our only and final statement regarding this subject and we ask that you please respect the legal process and Joey's privacy.

Episode 44: Recapping the ”Big Wrestling Weekend”

Well, we absolutely crammed as much wrestling into that weekend without requiring a run to the naloxone vending machine! Of course, this is all for better or worse. We hold our noses/breath and dive into the varied pools that were:
ROH Supercard of Honor
GCW Collective (Joey Janela's Spring Break, etc...)
The company whose name slips my mind but they run "Wrestlemania"
 And more (although we didn't get to PCW's Slapfight at Six Flags Mall)!

Episode 40: The 2023 Royal Rumble :(

Woof! We pop in on WWE (out of a misplaced sense of duty?) to see who/what they are running out there for the Royal Rumble. Safe to say, the time one sets aside for wrestling is better spent elsewhere. We'll tell you allll about it including your mom's new boyfriend trying to get over by reciting his fading knowledge of Street Fighter II. Now drink your Mountain Dew Pitch Blacks, you vile little marks!

Episode 39: So long, Jay Briscoe. We love you!

This one hurts. As a show we love Jay Briscoe and the Briscoes as a team. This episode was recorded two days after Jay's untimely and tragic death. Many details have come forward since, the biggest being good news regarding his daughters' recoveries and WBD's lifting of the Briscoes-ban leading to Mark Briscoe's appearance on tonight's episode of Dynamite. 
 
We kind of ramble and riff about the greatness of Jay and our sadness at the news. This was a sort of therapy and we want to thank everyone for riding along. Please send us your favorite Jay Briscoe moments! We love you, Jay!
