Divas, Dropkicks And Dives

Like the episode title infers, it's all about the Indies this week!  Both Michael & Kevin attended indie shows last week, so they cover their experiences.  The guys also discuss the WrestleCircus show, as well as New Japan's show in LA.  It's a nice respite before WWE takes over the entire wrestling world in a little less than 2 weeks time. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!  #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

FastLane was pretty predictable, but now we have no more PPV obstructions on the Road to WrestleMania.  WWE dropped the ball on multiple occasions this past week, so the guys are slightly agitated on this week's episode.  Fortunately, WWE took the time to correct their most egregious mistake (all thanks to the behemoth WrestleMania sponsor, Snickers), but there was still plenty to take WWE, and even ROH, to task for.  Strap yourselves in! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

With FastLane happening this weekend, this week's show was supposed to be fairly based around Smackdown.  Unfortunately, the blue brand has been pretty rough to watch lately.  So Michael shares his story of another Pro Wrestling Religion live show, Kevin keeps harping on Michael, who's randomly fat-shaming himself, and the guys groan about the rumor of a particular Hispanic millionaire playboy who could be making a return to WWE. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

As predictable as it was, Elimination Chamber was a pretty solid show.  The guys pour one out for Johnny Gargano's NXT career ending (or has it?!?), cover the fallout from the pay-per-view (including 2 stellar Elimination Chamber matches), and start to see how the Road to WrestleMania is taking shape. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

Fresh off of Michael's trip to Kansas City for Planet Comicon, the guys recap their exciting weekend at the show, celebrate a 2+ hour wrestling match on Raw, and get you prepped for this weekend's Raw-exclusive Elimination Chamber network special!  #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

Kevin recaps seeing SmackDown Live...live!  He pointed at the WrestleMania sign, so you know business is about to pick up.  Michael gets hyped about travelling to Kansas City for covering Planet Comicon, Ring of Honor's new streaming service is discussed, and injuries are continuing to pile up for WWE.  Lots of bumps on the Road to WrestleMania!  #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

We just experienced an incredible weekend of wrestling!!  What a way to start the Road to WrestleMania.  The guys cover everything about NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia, all the surprises and supremely awesome moments throughout the Royal Rumble, and how the fallout is helping to build the roadmap to New Orleans!  Also, Michael sounds like garbage.  Sorry. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

Michael went to an indie show yesterday & wants to tell you his story.  Also includes a teaser for next week's episode, and a surprise awaits you if you listen past the outro. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

It's almost time for the Royal Rumble!!  But first, WWE celebrates Raw's 25th Anniversary, and it's a bit of a mess.  The guys get you hyped up for NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia as well.  But before that, Michael recaps his time at IWR's "God Bless Texas" event, the fellas process the fallout from Enzo Amore being fired while under investigation for sexual assault, and they randomly venture off into a deep discussion about heavy metal and being the old guys at a rock concert.  It's absolute madness! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

Welcome back Kevin!  Kevin is back from taking some time off, and we're glad to have him home.  The guys do their best to recap what happened while Kev was gone, as well as get themselves onto the Road to WrestleMania!  They cover the recent rash of injuries plaguing the WWE, Kevin compares the world of wrestling to the video game console wars, Michael cannot seem to say, "Mixed/Match Challenge" correctly (see if you can count how many times he screws it up), and they ponder a scary question...could Daniel Bryan ever be received by the crowd as a heel? #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

Chandler "The Truth" Hopkins (@TheTruth_IWR), from Imperial Wrestling Revolution (@IWRevolution), comes on the show as our very first professional wrestler guest!!  He shares with us his story about getting into the business, fulfilling some of his childhood goals & dreams, some wonderful community outreach opportunities, working with an up & coming indie promotion, and lots more! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

Kevin is out this week, so Michael was somehow able to book Pete Sweeney (@pgsween), from Cageside Seats & Arrowhead Pride, to be the guest interview on this week's show!  Pete talks about his time working for the Kansas City Chiefs, and how that might turn him away from wanting to work for the WWE in the future.  He also briefly touches on the rumors regarding a return of the XFL, his appreciation for all things Y2J, his most annoying Superstar, dipping his toes in the indie wrestling waters, and more! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling 

Happy New Year, everyone!  While the guys are excited for what is yet to come, they stumble out of the gate just a bit (Thanks, holiday hangover!).  Kevin covers the Wrestle Kingdom 12 card, Michael's brain shuts down mid-show, and they lament the sloooooow burn to the Royal Rumble. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

The holidays are almost done!! Being an end-of-the-year show, this one has less to do with wrestling & more to do with aliens, more of Tommy Wiseau's "The Room," Michael's story of why Fred Durst owes him money, and more! They do touch on Vince potentially bringing back the XFL or some form of football. Let's just celebrate that we made it through 2017, and hope the apocalypse is held off for another year! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

Due to time constraints this week, the guys throw out a short show, just for you! They do take a quick sec to go over the announcement of an all-womens Royal Rumble match & welcome our incoming alien overlords, but most of this show is to thank you for listening & to wish you and yours a Happy Holidays! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

The one you've all been waiting for...Clash of Champions! *crickets* It's okay. Moving on. This week, we have another exciting episode of "Kevin vs. NyQuil" in a race to the finish, as well as discuss WWE's new partnership with Facebook. And the guys pour one out for the end of Matt Fowler's "Wrestling Wrap-Up". RIP GDYC. Kneelift! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

Honestly, there's not much to talk about this week. There's a whole-lot-of-nothing going on between now & the Royal Rumble. We did get #Woken Matt Hardy, so that's good news, and Kevin will be attending another #NWL show this weekend. Other than that...*crickets* #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

Y'all ready for that slow burn to the Royal Rumble?!? The guys discuss what the extra new "T" in Ruby Riott stands for, the Bullet Club financing their own show, and how there's a full 2 months between now & the Rumble. Good times! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling

We thought Survivor Series would have more chicanery. We were wrong. But that's okay! There was so much wrestling this past weekend: Michael covers his 1st Ring of Honor live experience, and the guys critique all things NXT TakeOver: War Games, as well as Survivor Series. Also, our favorite goth queen has returned! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling
