  • Pretty pretty pretty good

    Way better than all those repetitive pro Trump/aew junk from the fat slob and his crew in Alabama. Way less commercials too. For review purposes, of course.

  • Meh

    Nostalgic, but the host is weirdly a big fan of old, racist promos.

    The host also lacks personality.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 398: They Turned The Wrong Guy
Q: What about the whole Paul Bosch, Gino Hernandez story?
I still think there's something there, even though they covered it in Dark Side of the Ring.
Episode 398: They Turned The Wrong Guy
Q: Jake, your thoughts on this segment?
It's incredible. I don't want to bad mouth the good name of Hollywood John Tatum, but in this segment, he played a doofus so well.
Episode 389: The Best 1,000 Days of Wrestling
Q: At what point do you think running multiple shows became over saturation?
It was perceived that WWF became a cartoon show around 1988, which started to diminish interest for some fans.
Episode 389: The Best 1,000 Days of Wrestling
Q: If Monsoon had not sold his shares to Vince Jr., does national expansion happen?
It's likely Vince would have left his father's company and could have taken Georgia, making it a national promotion.
Episode 389: The Best 1,000 Days of Wrestling
Q: If the Road Warriors signed with the WWF in August of 84, do they take the spot of the North-South connection?
They likely would have taken the spot and may have become heels, which would have been problematic for the babyface tag teams at the time.
