RATINGS TALK. Not a lot, really. Aunt Pam and Sasha continue to carry WWE. If an underdog doesn't overcome is he more popular than before? Is someone going to lose an eye?

Overall the wrestling was pretty good, but WWE makes some moves that step in it a bit with R-Truth, Mandy Rose and the Drake Maverick angle. We liked a lot in WWE, AEW and NXT. All hail Aunt Pam. Also we preview NXT Takeover: In Your HouseSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/shake-them-ropes-pro-wrestling-podcast-wwe-nxt-njpw/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Chris and Jeff are a little heavy into the critique of comedy wrestling. Drew Gulak re-signs, FTR debuts, and the Hockey Glass era of WWE begins. Also, is Chris taking being a cat dad too far.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/shake-them-ropes-pro-wrestling-podcast-wwe-nxt-njpw/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Chris and Jeff celebrate the career of Becky Lynch. The parallels to Daniel Bryan are amazing. Also amazing were some of the storytelling decisions: Asuka during the Becky promo, Otis as Gollum and killing his babyface aura in a two show (he's not Dusty), Charlotte's one week heel turn, etc. An extended show for your weekend.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/shake-them-ropes-pro-wrestling-podcast-wwe-nxt-njpw/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Brought to you this week by Roman (http://getroman.com/vow for a free consult and free 2 day shipping) and ZipRecruiter (http://ziprecruiter.com/vow), this week more came out about how nasty this XFL bankruptcy was. Drake Maverick is being used as story fodder, but the vignettes on both Wednesday night show were pretty darn good. The arenas are still empty, but maybe they're realizing this is a television show.

The news from Friday to Friday kept getting worse or dumber depending on your point of view. Talent cuts, taping changes, and a company absolutely obtuse to the image they're projecting. Plus, the death of the voice of WWF, Howard Finkel and of course, no one knows how to give people a proper tribute.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/shake-them-ropes-pro-wrestling-podcast-wwe-nxt-njpw/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
