Genuine Wrestleboys

The Wrestleboys watched ALL IN and give their reactions to it! First, you'll hear Derek, Matt, Zack, and special guest Katie McBeth's live reactions throughout the show as they watched the iPPV stream of it from Katie and Matt's home in Boise Idaho, including reactions to many of the night's biggest moments literally as they happened! Next, you will hear from people who were actually in Chicago at ALL IN as Esai gives his thoughts the day after the event and is joined by Jenna Kieta and Mike Brown to give their thoughts after seeing it go down in person!

The 'boys are back with a bit of a half-sleepy/half-wired episode filled with a real weird energy if we're being totally honest. Despite that, they manage to run through this week in wrestling, including: The baffling heel vs. face dynamics going on with both Braun Strowman vs. Roman Reigns on RAW and Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair on SmackDown. "Straight Fire" Becky Lynch's "Stone Cold" level potential. Baron Corbin vs. Paperwork. Returning nostalgia acts on the build to the Evolution PPV, the shittiness of using a male wrestler in Elias to build heat for a women's feud of Alexa Bliss vs. Trish Stratus that doesn't need any help doing that on its own, and the pros, cons, and unnecessary hate thrown at The Bella Twins. Samoa Joe's Violence BBQ. Plus, a whole lot of great from 205 Live and NXT as well! Also, Zack geeks out over PROGRESS Wrestling and the multi-year Jimmy Havoc vs. Will Ospreay feud that came to an end this week. We look at the Mae Young Classic 2018

BRO! BRO! BRO! BRO! BRO! Get ready, because the 'boys are FEELIN' IT this week! Aka, this episode STARTS with Derek singing Hinder and pretty much stays at that level. The 'boys get into the huge weekend we had in wrestling with the chef-kiss perfection of NXT Takeover: Brooklyn 4, the mystifyingly specific and consistent booking of SummerSlam, plus the fallout this week on Raw, SmackDown, and 205 Live, as well as a look ahead to what we'll be seeing soon on NXT! Including: A competently-booked babyface Roman Reigns Universal Title victory?! A BRO sighting! The Super Kick Murder of Ricochet by the Undisputed Adam Cole! Our Pirate Princess ascending the throne! Johnny Failure! Zack's Good Demon Dreams! WENDY! "Stone Cold" Becky Lynch! Kevin's burial! Some new champs! Some old friends! And the HUGE RETURN of our good ol' Braun's Gravy Fingees & Double Toilet bit! Buy our merch by visiting our What a Maneuver store! Get a FREE 30-day trial of Audible while supportin

Bask in our episode length, friends, because this is our longest episode ever, and that's right, it's mostly about R-Truth.

We also get back to a Classic of our own with the next 4 matchups in our 2018 Wrestleboys Classic Tournament!

Chris, aka Todd, Chrisley? FUCK 'EM! Extreme Rules? FUCK 'EM! Horrendous writing for the WWE's women's division, especially Sasha Banks and Bayley? FUCK 'EM! Huge NXT spoilers? FUCK 'EM! WWE pulling the rug out from interesting booking by likely undoing it the very next night? FUCK 'EM! A racist piece of shit hot dog goblin fossil of a man being forgiven for something he's never adequately apologized for? FUCK 'EM!!!!! Inspired by Bad Luck Fale's new hit catchphrase of the Summer 2018, and full of a whole lotta piss and vinegar, the 'boys are joined again by Jenna Kieta to discuss all the above reasons wrestling is making us mad this week. Don't worry though, because the 2018 Wrestleboys Classic Tournament is here to save the day and keep the fun alive! We keep the first round going with our next four match ups: Katsuyori Shibata vs. Shawn Michaels, Matt Riddle vs. Jimmy Havoc, William Regal vs. Nick Jackson, and Kenny Omega vs. Bret Hart!  Don’t forget to go to

What do Zack, Esai, and Asuka all have in common? They've all experienced pepper spray. Except, the Wrestleboys both did so as children inside a now-demolished Chili's in what could only be described as the strangest coincidental shared experience in history, and Asuka's was in the ring this week on SmackDown.  Besides shared childhood trauma, the 'boys also discuss last week's New Japan show in San Francisco, Brock Lesnar being the absent dad of a wrestling champ he really is and showing up in the UFC (aka the family he left yours for), and preview WWE's Extreme Rules PPV this coming Sunday!  They also continue working through the first round of the 2018 Wrestleboys Classic Tournament! The matchups this week are: Kevin Owens vs. Thommaso Ciampa, Ricochet vs. Andre the Giant, Nick Gage vs. Adam Cole, and Finn Balor vs. Tetsuya Naito!  Don’t forget to go to audibletrial.com/wrestleboyscast to get your FREE 30-day trial of Audible while supporting Genuine Wrestleboys, and while you’re at

My garbage son Kyle O'Reilly lost his damn shoe and it is getting more and more difficult to take him anywhere in public. He is surely doing this just to spite me but I can't help but love him for his title belt air guitar and nasty face. All the 'boys are back and they are goofy as heck in this one, y'all! We talk about the week of wrestling leading into yet another PPV (Backlash this time), entrance music that doesn't fit its wrestler very well, and those nasty Undisputed Era boys' latest antics. Oh, and unfortunately Bret Hart is with us yet again. He is a curse upon this house and we will seemingly never be rid of him.

That's right, y'all! The 'boys finally did it! What you've all been waiting for. Now say it with us: "Piss." Now that we've gotten that bit o' business out of the way, we can concentrate on some non-piss-related goings-on in the world of wrestling! Unfortunately, Matt couldn't join us this week (blame Derek's birthday for RUINING EVERYTHING), but for some reason we're still being haunted by all-time great wrestler, turned Zack's personal Babadook, Bret Hart. So there's that, I guess? The 'boys talk all about The Greatest Royal Rumble event that went down in Saudi Arabia, the never ending purgatory of Brock Lesnar's title reign, heel Shinsuke and his rap rock remix, two incredible botches, The Passion of the Bryan, and how to navigate the problematic aspects of being a wrestling fan and trying to balance continuing to push for change while checking our own privilege (oh, and also the normal weekly wrestling stuff too). We have merch through What a M

Quick question: does anyone know a good method for removing a curse/Bret Hart from your home and/or podcast? No reason, just asking for a friend. The 'boys are all together once again and are talking about all the shaking up that happened to the Raw and SmackDown rosters this week, how things are looking going into the Big Ol' RumbleTime (Greatest Royal Rumble) event next week, the new rebuilding phase of NXT and its women's division, and the death and legacy of the great Bruno Sammartino.

The 'boys are breaking down the big ol' WrestleMania weekend and the subsequent huge nights on TV we all just survived somehow! Unfortunately Esai was off in Parts Unknown and couldn't join us tonight and tbh Zack is mostly distracted thinking about Nicholas to focus on anything else, but we still give it a shot. Fortunately, returning guest Katie McBeth makes a run-in the episode about halfway through and helps salvage this main event. Too bad that couldn't have happened at Mania, right y'all? The 'boys break down likely one of the best PPVs WWE has ever done in NXT Takeover: New Orleans and one of the most confusing ever in WrestleMania 34. Plus, the big debuts, call-ups, returns, and new job titles that went down on the Raw and SmackDown after WrestleMania! Genuine Wrestleboys now has merch through What a Maneuver! And we're giving away a free shirt! To enter for one, please leave us a rating/review on Apple Podcasts and let us know about it! To check out the shirts, head over
