Episodes

Lady's Choice | Pro Grapplers

August 19, 2019 18:07 - 28 minutes - 22.1 MB

It's fitting that possibly the final episode of Pro Grapplers is packed to the brim with wrestling to talk about while also being on the cusp of live wrestling on TV getting absolutely bonkers. The women of WWE/NXT were rightfully given the spotlight recently, so why aren't we getting another Evolution this year? And how amazing was The Fiend's debut at SummerSlam? Both Steve and Jason are stoked for the potential a new King of the Ring tournament brings and they're also bracing for impact (...

Going Defiantly To Thy Rest | Pro Grapplers

August 05, 2019 21:54 - 31 minutes - 25.1 MB

Just the highlights from here on out, folks! The 24/7 title has a new look, face, and feel, but is it enough to keep it at the top of the pile of WWE championships? Are The OC (don't call them that) truly now a threat? Is Bryan's career-altering announcement that he now has his fork lift driver's license? Is Lesnar still F5-ing Seth on everything from here to Toronto? Are we ready to see Goldberg again? All that, plus both NXT brands barrel towards their respective TakeOver dates and Steve b...

Road Sable | Pro Grapplers

July 29, 2019 17:34 - 47 minutes - 38.7 MB

Our focus on WWE Network (freshly redesigned, to varying degrees of success!) this week nets a bounty of highlights, like Oney Lorcan's quest for House of Mouse money, a great Swerve/Gulak 205 main event, WALTER and IMPERIUM completing their DOMINANCE of British Strong Style, Kay Lee Ray mind games, another amazing Breakout Tournament match, Io Shirai's smoldering new ... thing, and a Keith Lee we can all get behind. The main roster featured a lot of old people, but some fun 24/7 madness and...

It's a Cuckoff | Pro Grapplers

July 22, 2019 14:37 - 43 minutes - 34.6 MB

Two more weeks away gives the guys too much to talk about! Aleister's out of his room! New Day's bumpin' titles! Buddy Murphy ... spoke! Kevin Owens is now a top guy! Truth is ... still 24/7 champ! Drake still hasn't consummated his marriage! The Fiend is here! Natalya and Ember have title shots! Brock is champ ... again! Nothing has changed, but listen to Steve and Jason talk about why that's okay!

Might As Well Be A Ken Doll Now | Pro Grapplers

July 08, 2019 19:02 - 40 minutes - 33.1 MB

Before we see what new chicanery Heyman and Bischoff can get up to pre-Extreme Rules, take a listen as the guys run down the most important questions of the past couple of weeks. Will Sarah Logan go full viking? Will Aleister finally come out of his room? Does R-Truth have a ceiling vis a vis the 24/7 title silliness? Can the main roster do a good cage match anymore? Why aren't you watching the NXT Breakout Tournament? Can we stop with the unprotected chair shots already?

The Chair of Omens | Pro Grapplers

June 23, 2019 16:43 - 41 minutes - 32.3 MB

It's time to kick ass! It's time to take names! It's time to remember those names in case you kick too much ass and need to identify someone later. It's STOMPING GROUNDS! Will Bray creep everyone out as the special ref? Will Brock grace us with his presence? Will Lacey begin her preordained reign? Will Sami and Kevin get misused ... again? Will Heavy Machinery win their first PPV on the main roster? Will Bayley and Alexa keep doing this until SummerSlam? Will the cruiserweight title match be...

The Bad Kind of F5 Tornado | Pro Grapplers

June 17, 2019 17:59 - 40 minutes - 32.4 MB

Shane McMahon is ruining both main roster shows, and we go in depth on the who, what, where, and why of fixing this whole mess. Mad that they're ruining things like Sami and Kevin's renewed on-air friendship or even ROMAN REIGNS? Us too! Non-main roster WWE is still poppin' though, as NXT UK works their way towards a massive collision, 205 Live welcomes Chad Gable to the brand as we also attempt to get a #1 contender for Nese's title at Ass Kicking Grounds, and NXT Colonial gives us another ...

I've Seen a Panama Sunrise | Pro Grapplers

June 10, 2019 16:46 - 39 minutes - 31.4 MB

When you start the (wrestling) week with a TakeOver, it's never a bad week! And Cole's new championship, Shirai remembering her badassness, and a Riddle/Strong rad throwdown are enough to help us forget all about the blood money-equivalent mess across the pond. Steve's got some lowlights from that waste of time (and talent!) while Jason talks about an important fatal-4-way in NXT UK and some surprising developments on 205 Live. Put on your bands and tighten your Zubaz pants, join us in doing...

Who's The Dog Now, Man? | Pro Grapplers

June 01, 2019 20:30 - 39 minutes - 30.9 MB

AEW showed us their hand and what a hand it was! Hear the guy's thoughts on why indie battle royals shouldn't be missed, why Jericho and Omega both looked like old dudes, and how Jason wants a throne of minions of his own. NXT TakeOver is going down in a few hours, and the fellas are stoked to see Roddy become the top Era dawg, Breeze win gold and remain home where he belongs, and Shirai rise to the top of the women's NXT food chain. Also, they had to give their thoughts on the news that Bro...

Money in the Baggins | Pro Grapplers

May 27, 2019 18:53 - 31 minutes - 24.1 MB

WWE is spinning it's wheels after Money in the Bank, looking forward to the blood money show, so what can fill the void? How about a brand new(-ish) product in AEW? The guys talk a bit about Double or Nothing, including the Reynolds vs. Reynolds match The Shinkicker can't wait to see and whether or not the Amazin' One can expect the production values to go up soon so they can truly Be the Elite. Also touched upon: Sonya's Samwise moment, Bayley getting her best main roster moment to date (so...

Praying For Your Butt | Pro Grapplers

May 18, 2019 22:10 - 38 minutes - 30 MB

After discussing our excitement at both Bray's big reveal and AEW's TV news, it's all Money in the Bank, baby! We think Nese should retain, Roman should dominate Elias, Shane should jump off the cage (and lose), Natalya should reveal her master plan and win MITB, Becky should go back to one belt, Sami Zayn holds the most MITB potential, Dominick should finally get involved, Kofi should retain (or not), Rollins AND Styles should burn it down, and Bryan should start that tag team revolution he...

Beard Beef | Pro Grapplers

May 13, 2019 18:27 - 41 minutes - 38.3 MB

Local talent gave out some big wins, Tozawa killed Kannellis and no one saw it, a hot Glasgow crowd gave NXT UK one of their best shows, Adam Cole can't admit to himself that he might be the problem, the WILD CARD RULE gave us hot new matchups like two WrestleMania rematches, the Revival continued to do the best with they were given, Braun revealed his sentient trash truck powers, and Bray might have lobotomized some kids. Let's do it all again this week, and get a briefcase or two while we'...

Vega Brings Home The Turkey | Pro Grapplers

May 05, 2019 18:39 - 36 minutes - 33.4 MB

Bray kept it weird and creepy, MITB came into focus and it seems like it's months away, the Raw women's roster continues to disappoint, Steve still can't tell which one is Fire and which one is Desire, the Singh Bros made their 205 debut, WALTER chopped Devlin's soul into oblivion, Kushida proved he can only get better from here, and Sonya got a shot against one of NXT's biggest and brightest as Worlds Collided, all in the week that was in WWE.

Johnny Gargan-Bro | Pro Grapplers

April 29, 2019 18:06 - 36 minutes - 33.3 MB

Last week, we met Robert Roode for the first time ever, welcome Bray Wyatt back to our family living rooms, saw The Viking Raiders, War Raiders, and Viking Warriors all in the same week, witnessed AJ Styles doing his best work in a year, saw SmackDown's women's roster take two steps back, watched as Kevin Owens shocked no one, wished for more Drew Gulak and Montez Ford in our lives, got tired of Albert Hardie Jr. already, and wanted better things for Akira Tozawa and Jordan Devlin.

PG 122: You're Either Uce, Or You're Viking

April 22, 2019 18:27 - 45 minutes - 42 MB

The Shakeup is complete, and we hope your favorite guy or gal has ended up in a good place! We now know the Miz bleeds red (for Raw, of course); THE VIKING EXPERIENCE has arrived, even though no one has ever heard of them before; the women's roster is on SmackDown (including our precious pirate princess); a Big Dog has taken up residence in the yard of the House That AJ Styles Built, but in his absence, who will move in. All this, plus Steve experiences the goofball new NXT intro for the fir...

PG 121: Sorry, Sarah

April 15, 2019 18:17 - 56 minutes - 52.3 MB

We can finally say, with confidence, that belts ain't just for holdin' up your pants anymore! There's so much to cover in this episode, we're just going to say it covers TakeOver: New York, WrestleMania: Almost New York, Raw and SmackDown Live: Close Enough To New York, the fallout from all of those shows, and a bit of AEW news as well. And today, everything gets shaken up! AAAAAAAAAAAHHH too much wrestling!

PG 120: Jump Off a Killian Dain

April 01, 2019 17:28 - 44 minutes - 40.9 MB

We're almost there, and WWE can't stop mucking things up as we prepare for landing! Why are the Riott Squad (like, 1/5 of the women's roster) jobbing out to people they have no business fighting in the first place? Does Dean realize he's reverse-Strowmaning himself (You're not finished with me yet!)? Can Angle go longer than two minutes at Mania without hurting himself? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ASUKA?!? Will Kofi come up short at Mania? Could we love the Usos more? Why is it ScarJo, not Sco...

PG 119: The Jammy One

March 25, 2019 17:56 - 50 minutes - 46.6 MB

We predicted one more bad Raw before WrestleMania arrives, and surely that will be the only one, right? After railing against Angle's choice for his final opponent and Ricochet's first-ever match with former WWE Champion, Jinder Mahal, the guys focus on the positives, including Kofi's amazing run through the gauntlet on SmackDown. Some non-main roster stuff comes up, too, including a surprising cruiserweight title contender, where did all the women in NXT UK go, Steve's love for Primate, Gal...

PG 118: Chekov's Railing

March 18, 2019 13:42 - 48 minutes - 45.2 MB

Did you know you needed to see a Mexican standoff on the top rope? Neither did we, and WWE managed to surprise us with other things this week, too! We didn't expect to see a horrible apron finish twice in the same week, or Kofi getting impossibly screwed on his road to KofiMania, or Ali getting the best of a potentially bad situation, or Orton and Styles having the best promo of the week, or a Fastlane Watch Along so scandalous, it was almost instantly taken down, or Shane trading in the bab...

PG 117: The Kennel of Confounding

March 09, 2019 22:39 - 41 minutes - 38.5 MB

We're so close to WrestleMania we can taste the gold in our mouths already (does that make us Brits?)! Ciampa is injured and all of NXT is being rewritten as a result. Meanwhile, Banks and Devlin are turning out tremendous matches on the UK brand, possibly closing their storied feud. And Fastlane is almost here, so what do we call the heel team facing the Shield? We have some thoughts. Also, is this where we get our Shane/Miz swerve? Do we have another plan for the Raw tag titles that doesn'...

PG 116: Burchin' Lorcan!

March 04, 2019 19:19 - 40 minutes - 37.6 MB

Roman is better (and back!), Batista's back to end Evolution forever, Blackochet is here and you better like it, KO took Kofi's spot and that's ... fine?, R-Truth is John Cena and that's ... also fine?, The Hardyz are back and probably for the last time, the UK brand spends another week in Phoenix, DIY is back (sadly), the women's tag champs are setting a fine example for everyone to follow, and Belair has been DUH. FEE. TET. Credit to Brandon Stroud for the alignment chart used as episode ...

PG 115: The Weird Kids From Florida

February 25, 2019 19:52 - 38 minutes - 35.5 MB

The only thing better than the inevitable Raw women's title match at Mania is Kofi Kingston renaming it KofiMania and taking over the whole damn show. We also got a great title match on NXT this week, and four guys from the black and gold brand showed up on the main roster to raise some hell to mixed reviews. Also, Steve thinks AEW and NXT will go head-to-head on Tuesday nights in the near future. Lots to get excited about!

PG 114: I Have One Speed And It's Zelina Vega

February 17, 2019 17:00 - 52 minutes - 48.6 MB

Before we get to our Elimination Chamber chat, we have to give the other WWE shows some love. Dijakovic, Street Profits, Cole, and Ricochet all impressed this week on NXT, and also showed how much fun it is when your non-feuding superstars interact with one another. NXT UK was in the U.S. for a filler but still good episode. And 205 Live brought back Gallagher's trunks and a no DQ match, so no complaints there, either. Concerning the chamber: can we stop putting 205 on the Kickoff, has Uce O...

PG 113: Intellectual Peers

February 11, 2019 16:09 - 44 minutes - 35.4 MB

Steve was in attendance for SmackDown this week, so he gives his thoughts on that experience, including how awesome an appearance by THE MAN truly is, enjoying Daniel Bryan face reactions for one, fleeting night, the sonic dream that is the IIconics, and why his son still can’t understand what Rusev sees in Lana (it rhymes with buberty). Raw was fairly forgettable, but we know all the competitors of the women’s tag title match, that Elias has the “fight old guys” spot now, and that we probab...

PG 112: Too Many Powermans

February 04, 2019 19:54 - 35 minutes - 28.1 MB

It was a memorable Rumble weekend, and now … everyone’s leaving? After the guys discuss the functionality of a scorecard, they get to talking about the stellar week that was in wrestling. Among their topics: War Raiders had the best entrance of the week, no contest; Gargano is officially Johnny TakeOver; HALFTIME HEEEEEEEEAT; why special sets make special events more special; Jason forgot who the SDL Women’s champ was, but he’s fine now; Ronda’s promo skills fail her (again) (aw shucks); ref...

PG 111: You Do You, Count

January 26, 2019 17:52 - 44 minutes - 34.5 MB

Man, these belts (sorry, titles) are getting so heavy! No wonder they keep getting forgotten at home. But we have bigger concerns this Rumble weekend, like: What will the women's title picture look like after Sunday? Is Ronda leaving? Fantasy booking is fun again with the creation of AEW! Are we really looking forward to Ryder/Hawkins vs. Roode/Gable? Can we just be ok with Shane and Miz winning? And, on the TakeOver side: Can we get rid of Ohno (in this feud)? Will the War Raiders look like...

PG 110: To Bang An Uso

January 21, 2019 20:32 - 1 hour - 56.9 MB

We're keeping score now, and Jason comes up shy, meaning he has to grapple with the future of Mandy Rose as a face against all odds. Plus, the guys were wowed by the first TakeOver for the UK brand, including how truly strong the boy, Bate, is, deciding what constitutes an aerial move, and how much of an afterthought Joe Coffey ended up being. Also, the guys talked about the rest of WWE's week, which left them with questions like: is Dosovic a greasy, horny troll now because Vince can't get ...

PG 109: Incontinent? Change It!

January 14, 2019 20:28 - 1 hour - 54.6 MB

We ran down the past week in WWE before giving our predictions for the first-ever NXT UK TakeOver event. Our discussions include: Seth burns it down by eliminating HHH's water intake; Sasha is up next and it's about damn time; the New Bryan is forcing hot dog throw sells; Shane still doesn't understand himself, though luckily Miz does; the women of SmackDown are still amazing; Alexander/Itami is yet another great 205 Live match you missed; Aleister scares Ciampa with a video; EC3 and Nikki b...

PG 108: Conkicko

January 07, 2019 19:55 - 51 minutes - 40.9 MB

It's a new year (YES IT IS), and a New Era has arrived to get us started off right! And once Vince leaves to make his XFL dreams a reality, we'll really be in for some new stuff. Until then, SmackDown, 205 Live, NXT UK, and NXT US will keep us warm until the Rumble. Among our highlights are: worrying about the food kids are eating while catching Big E's crotchcakes; searching for pictures of a secret wrestler wedding; Joe Coffey's bear-like stature and comforting, sexy voice; the architectur...

PG 107: The Desperation Zig-Zag

December 15, 2018 20:48 - 57 minutes - 45.2 MB

First things first, we have to talk about NXT: EC3 vs. Fish, Ricochet vs. Breeze (yes, THAT Breeze), and Black/Gargano in a steel cage next week? THAT is the WWE we care about. But TLC is tomorrow, so we have thoughts about that too, like: why the Corbin TLC match will go on last, how terrible will the New Bryan be to the Face That Runs The Camp, devising new rules for the Chairs Match, how many tables will have people on them, which Dean will show up on Sunday, will Lio pick the splinters ou...

PG 106: A Slow Tempo Joe Low Blow

December 10, 2018 18:22 - 50 minutes - 39.7 MB

Another week, another garbage Raw you should've probably skipped! It would have avoided questions like, how did they forget Dolph in the Dolph/Drew break-up angle? Who decided Dean should just be Bane now? And how the F*** decided the Lucha House Party rules? Once our blood stopped boiling, it was on to praise for SmackDown, NXT, and NXT UK, featuring moments like the New Daniel Bryan being too damn good at everything, the SDL tag trios being just delightful, Truth/Carmella and Hardy/Orton be...

PG 105: Closet Mariners

December 03, 2018 19:13 - 43 minutes - 35 MB

The second War Games: TakeOver Edition was amazing, and Survivor Series was pretty good, too, so why has Raw sucked so much since then? The guys file their report. Also, will Shane reconcile with co-dad, the Miz? Will the SmackDown tag team division take an off week? If so, can Raw get ON? How surprising is it that Toni Storm is not the first NXT UK Women's champ? How GOOD was that Lee/Sullivan hoss match? Can Raw suck any more? Stay tuned this week for the answers to these questions!

PG 104: Google It, Bitches

November 17, 2018 19:27 - 55 minutes - 44.6 MB

After one of the most tumultuous, newsworthy weeks in WWE history, we're set for a very different Survivor Series than we had a week ago. Among our questions: will the only title up for grabs change hands, will the tag match by 11-on-12, will Cross join the SDL women, will Shane cheat to make the Blue Brand the A team, how far CAN Big Show chuck Maverick, can Seth please care about his match, what hairstyle will heel Bryan go with, and can Charlotte be THE MAN? On the TakeOver side of things,...

PG 103: Tony Nese Can Count His Own Abs

November 12, 2018 18:49 - 49 minutes - 39.7 MB

Before you poke fun at a wrestler's size, make sure you're taller than he is. Having learned that lesson, the guys talk about a bad Raw, a good SmackDown, a great NXT, breaking things that don't belong to us, why a strict show time limit breaks kayfabe, Alexa Bliss' future as a non-wrestler, why Styles/Lesnar II should rule, and how Zelina Vega is the best part of the Up Up Down Down channel.

PG 102: Jake The Snake Was a Better Role Model

November 05, 2018 19:31 - 1 hour - 51.1 MB

What a week! Evolution knocked our socks off, including killer title matches and Jason's indifference towards the coming Storm. NXT, both UK and US brands, also killed it, with more resolution to the Black attack, Matt Riddle's first TV match, and the UK brand's best match thus far. The guys also discussed how mannerisms while carrying/presenting a title are key and why Crown Jewel was such a tragic event (outside of the expected reason). It had it all: Hulk Hogan, unsatisfying title matches,...

PG 101: The Evolution Is a Mystery

October 27, 2018 21:04 - 59 minutes - 47.3 MB

With so much going on, it's surprising there weren't more outstanding matches in WWE this past week. NXT UK is off to a good start, though, and Roman and Dean offered a very interesting night on Raw, alongside turns for both Elias and Strowman. Meanwhile, SmackDown was very nearly a rerun, Crown Jewel is moving on unabated (though possibly Cena and Bryan-less), and Evolution is already mostly an afterthought. Hope you have something to get excited about in there (and apologies for not mention...

PG 100: The Greatest Love I've Ever Known

October 15, 2018 14:42 - 48 minutes - 38.7 MB

Boy, what a week! RAW got off to a Rousing start, featuring two turns and a genuine surprise return, SmackDown had a killer women's rematch and Miz TV with three of the best on the roster, and NXT gave us Ricochet/Dunne/Cole, and you know that was hot. However, we also got things like week 12 of Gable/Roode verus The Ascension and the WWE World Cup. Also, will WWE go through with the very bad, no good idea of having an event in Saudi Arabia? But really, who cares because THE KANELLISES ARE BA...

PG 99: That WAS A Good Meat Pie

October 08, 2018 17:28 - 57 minutes - 45.1 MB

Another week, another early morning show live from Australia. Wait, that's new! Jason has the Show-Down Breakdown, but first, find out why Ronda Rousey had the Match of the Night, why Roode and Gable are still Not on the Card, who had the Killer Gimmick this week, why the Legends nostalgia train holds No Heat for Jason, and why the tag division on RAW scores only a Near Fall.

PG 98: Fighting Down Under(taker)

October 01, 2018 14:35 - 42 minutes - 33.3 MB

We're back, and once again, there's way too much to talk about! There were plenty of good matches (Styles vs. Almas and Dunne vs. Ricochet of note), questionable moves (the main titles on SmackDown), upgrades (Rush partners with Lashley, Rusev Day continues to crumble), botches (Brie Bella continues to fail to impress), and near falls (Mixed Match Challenge is back and not nearly as good). See you all on the other side of the next big event (Super Showdown)!

PG 97: We're Going To Hell, Enjoy The Show!

September 16, 2018 19:27 - 46 minutes - 37.5 MB

What a card Hell in a Cell has in store for us this year! And with only two actual Cell matches, too! The Universal title is on the line! Becky Lynch is awesome again! Rusev Day are fighting for titles! There is reason for optimism on this night, let's hope they pay at least some of it off while we welcome Coach to the Kickoff team! Also, NXT laid some low to raise others high this week and the Mae Young Classic featured another eight competitors you should be keeping any eye on. Maintain a g...

PG 96: WTF Was That?!?

September 10, 2018 18:12 - 53 minutes - 42.7 MB

Wow! What a week! Raw was ... well, Raw was bad. SmackDown was ... I mean, Carmella and Truth had some fun, and Rusev Day are closer to being champs, but it wasn't great, either. At least the Mae Young Classic debuted with some awesome match-ups! Oh, and All In is in the books, and we officially need more dong druids in our lives. Also, Stephen Amell is shockingly good to pro wrestling, Cody Rhodes is emotional (and rightfully so), Jason was unimpressed with all the major dudes he was suppose...

PG 95: Brie-n Damaged

September 03, 2018 16:26 - 47 minutes - 36.7 MB

Will a WWE without KO really be that different than it was before? We'll find out! We talk about the fallout, our hopes/dreams, plus: where Strowman's allegiances truly lie, Regal steps up his investigatory game, Dunne/Ricochet promise amazing fireworks, King Booker helps ring in the five-time champs, The Bar has it easier than Rusev Day, please clap for The Tryhard Jeff Hardy, Tye contemplates his life, Almas/Vega make great foils for Bryan and ... someone else, Joe should offer to bring som...

PG 94: Strong Bait

August 27, 2018 17:52 - 39 minutes - 31.4 MB

SummerSlam weekend has come and gone and we have seen some amazing things in the last week! Roman is champ! Seth is champ! Braun wants to be champ so bad that the Shield had to return to stop him! Ricochet got kicked in the neck! Dream called out Vince on his butt! Gargano did something dumb! Joe is a friggin' maniac! Charlotte is a bad friend! Becky is truly hot fire! Rowan got injured and New Day are champs again! The Demon returned and freaked out the manager at TGIFriday's! Rousey is cham...

PG 93: TOP GUYS TOP PRIZE

August 18, 2018 19:19 - 57 minutes - 44.2 MB

It's hot, it's August, so it must be time for SUMMERSLAM! And the fourth edition of TAKEOVER: BROOKLYN! Our predictions for the big weekend: We may finally Dispute the Era, EC3 and Dream are delightfully weird and wonderful, Shayna still has Kairi's number, Gargano will reluctantly take the strap, TOP GUYS WIN THE TOP PRIZE, Almas and Vega postpone Rusev Day, Charlotte probably keeps the division going as champ, Bryan/Miz is perfect and nothing can ruin it, Joe's gonna kill AJ, Owens has to w...

PG 92: Every Dude Needs His Groin

August 06, 2018 19:03 - 43 minutes - 34.7 MB

Two weeks out from The Greatest Slam Of The Summer and we're focusing on Raw and NXT! Who won? Who lost? Who sang? Who's insane? Who's still reading magazines? Who's still bullying Jeff Hardy? Who got their own announcer's desk? (Who? Who? WHO!) Who looks silly with a jacket and no pants? And who taunted an old lady with their new championship? The answers might surprise you and can be found in this very episode!

PG 91: Main Event Is The Joke

July 30, 2018 18:04 - 45 minutes - 35.2 MB

We're in week two of the 57 week build-up for SummerSlam, so we thought we'd take a moment and recognize the work of the lesser-recognized superstars of WWE, the brave men and women who fill the rosters of 205 Live, NXT, and Main Event. Among our topics this week: Evolution will be rad and we're already tired of hearing about it, Joe is the best, The Miz is the worst (but best), please just do the damn Roman thing already, Lacey Evans isn't there yet, the Undisputed Era has been there for a w...

PG 90: That's So Woken!

July 23, 2018 19:30 - 48 minutes - 36.7 MB

The rules, they were Extreme! And the week, it was ... ok? Little Jeff Hardy got treated like trash, Roman and Bob can't decide who is the bigger dog, Nak finally got his title, Sasha and Bayley love each other, Rusev is indeed the real deal, Becky's getting hers, Asuka is a dullard, the B-Team is legitimized, Team Hell No is ... done?, The Revival are doomed, NXT is still amazing, Sarah Logan is now a viking, and Miz and Mrs. starts this week!

PG 89: Octagon Generalship

July 14, 2018 19:03 - 51 minutes - 39.8 MB

This week, the Amazin' one put NXT and 205 Live at the top of the show because they wouldn't otherwise get mentioned in the Extreme Rules pre-breakdown. Who will amaze us? (Ziggler/Rollins and Team Hell No) Who will let us down? (Strowman/Owens, Asuka/Carmella, and Hardy/Nakamura) And who will be the worst? (Reigns/Lashley, says The Shinkicker, but Jason disagrees) Tune in Sunday and see if they're right! About anything!

PG 88: Only White People Like SHeDAISY

July 02, 2018 19:18 - 38 minutes - 30.2 MB

WWE's UK tourney kicked off the week with hours of superb content, featuring lots of names Jason wasn't familiar with. Booked to Perfection this week includes the Deleters/B-Team beef, Bayley finally coming to her bottle-chucking senses, Todd the cheeseburger guy, and Team Hell No's comeback. Meanwhile, we decided to Grapple With KO and Braun's friendship and Nakamura wrestling a dog, featuring the return of Bob Barker to the WWE! Also, a new segment called Do We Care searches our feelings ab...

PG 87: All's Ellsworth That Carmellsworth

June 25, 2018 18:12 - 56 minutes - 43.8 MB
