The scholars do a quick roundup of their good and bad picks from last week’s episode concerning the WrestleMania card and the AEW Women’s World Title Eliminator Tournament. What do we think of the Miz as champ? Could we see Bad Bunny as the next challenger? How much does the move to Peacock have to do with the title change?(1:00)

Next, the scholars travel through time to look at the storied history of Iconic Black wrestlers. They look at the wild lives of pioneers like Viro Small and Ethel Johnson, the modern success stories like The Rock and Kofi Kingston, and talk about what sorts of positive changes the next generation of black stars could usher in.
