Genuine Wrestleboys

It's WrestleMania 34 Weekend! Don't worry, your Wrestleboys (with the help of returning guests Jenna Kieta and Katie McBeth) are here to break down and predict Wrestlemania on Sunday, NXT Takeover: New Orleans on Saturaday, and a bunch of the other shows and matches happening during the biggest wrestling week of the year! Katie gives us her thoughts going into her first 'Mania weekend as a wrestling fan, we continue to be haunted by the ghoul of old wrestlers who love talking about their own greatness, and we speculate on what questions Baron Corbin seeks answers from Google for.

The 'boys are mysteriously visited (possibly haunted?) by the surprisingly intrusive as he is great Bret "The Hitman" Hart this week! Nobody actually invited him, but nobody can seemingly get him to leave either. The Johns, Laurenitis and Cena, also swing by because once a podcast is off the rails like this, why not just drive it straight into a double toilet while you're at it? In the few moments of peace between these visitors, the 'boys get all caught up on the buck wild developments in pro wrestling since they recorded last, including the return of Daniel Bryan, NJPW's Strong Style Evolved show and The Young Bucks vs. Golden Lovers match, developments along the road to a very quickly approaching WrestleMania 34 and NXT Takeover: New Orleans, and Zack takes everyone through his way-too-deep dive into some WrestleMania statistics. Most importantly of all, though, WE HAVE MERCH! Check out our new store and first shirt design on WhatAManeuver.net and get yourself that sweet sweet CRJ

DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded ahead of time because we all knew that we'd be way too busy during Treefort Music Fest to record a new episode. Therefore, we don't talk about any of the MASSIVE things that happened in wrestling this last week. Don't worry, though, we'll definitely get to all that next week! Wrestling can be a pretty big bummer sometimes (again, this was recorded before we knew Daniel Bryan could wrestle again), and there have been some things going on recently that have bummed us out, so we wanted to just spend some time talking through those feelings. It was a cathartic time, y'all. Don't forget to go to audibletrial.com/wrestleboyscast to get your FREE 30-day trial of Audible while supporting Genuine Wrestleboys!

Jenna joins the 'boys again this week to talk about last week's Fastlane PPV, the week in wrestling, and whatever the fuck that Demon Straight From Toilet Hell Noise was that Shane McMahon made on SmackDown after getting beat up by Sami and Kevin???

Life moves fast. If you don't slow down once in a while, you'll totally miss (or just forget) that WWE actually put out any content this week or that the Fastlane PPV is happening. Esai was unfortunately couldn't be on the show this week since he was busy working, and that's a shoot brother brother! The remaining 'boys talk about a fairly empty week of wrestling content but manage to pick out some gems hidden in that rough. They talk about Braun Strowman and Elias' big musical battle, Sami Zayn's breaking point, Tommaso Ciampa's Fires of Mt. Doom level of heel heat without saying a single word, what entirely predictable results we can expect to see at the FastLane PPV, and speculate wildly on what all this means for WrestleMania coming up in less than a month.

Just like the main event of a SmackDown PPV, this episode has arguably way too many people in it but is still a whole lotta fun! Joining the 'boys this week are 3 of their tag team partners in life (aka, significant others): Jenna Kieta, Katie McBeth, and Anja Crocker. Way more important than that, though, they are three incredible women who we wanted to talk to about last week's first-ever Women's Elimination Chamber Match, their thoughts and feelings about wrestling, their different backgrounds with it, and how glad they all were when this podcast started so the 'boys all had someone else to talk to about wrestling. In typical Wrestleboys fashion, we touch on a whole big mess of other stuff that comes up as well, especially a deeper dive into the history of Black wrestlers and the extra struggles that People of Color have had to overcome for recognition in the professional wrestling industry.

We didn't make any Austin Powers 3 jokes in this episode, and that big mistake is truly on us, but Golden Love is back in the wrestling world and that's joyous, friends. Unfortunately Esai couldn't be with us again this week, but we'll excuse it because of the big big week he had seeing Naito wrestle then driving across the country. The remaining 'boys talk about Seth Rollins BIG Monday night, the supreme and ongoing lackluster nature of SmackDown, Johnny Wresting's Kayfabe Farewell, and spend a whoooole lot of time talking the reunion matches between The Golden Lovers (Kenny Omega & Kota Ibushi) in NJPW and queer/LGBTQIA+ representation in pro wrestling today. Finally, the 'boys dive into their thoughts about what will happen at WWE's Elimination Chamber PPV this weekend, the predictability of PPVs following the Royal Rumble, and what this show might set up for Wrestlemania.

DRICK SAYS IT'S TIME FOR WINE, BABY! MY WIIIINE! BORAT JOKE! Esai is off in Parts Unknown watching cool wrestling without us, so this week is a triple threat match that starts kinda rough and goes downhill from there. We mostly talk about Big Braun's Big Bass and all the other stuff that happened this week in wrestling, and why it gets kinda tough to stay on top of everything in the lead up to Wrestlemania each year.

WHICH CRACKERS IS BEST CRACKERS? CLUB? CHEEZ-ITS?? TRISCUITS?! WHEAT THINS?!? UNCLE?!?! YOU'LL HAVE TO STAY UNTIL THE FINAL MOMENTS OF THIS EPISODE TO FIND OUT! Back at the start now, please note that this episode starts with an important apology from Derek regarding his actions and overuse of the phrase "Bust a nut" in our last episode. With that business out of the way, the 'boys go into the last week in wrestling from Raw, SmackDown, NXT, the newly revitalized 205 Live, and Hiromu Takahashi's Chicken Preparation & Ospreay Feedery™ from NJPW. After that, the 'boys spend the rest of the episode discussing the great, though ultimately tragic and abbreviated (for now, at least), career of Daniel Bryan/Bryan Danielson, the immeasurable importance of his success on the grandest stage possible and the impact that still has on the wrestling industry, and what his legacy is in wrestling.

Brady Sauvageau of HeaterWrestling.com returns as our mystery tag team partner in a PACKED Fatal 5-Way episode of Genuine Wrestleboys (our longest episode yet, oops)! We talk about NXT Takeover: Philadelphia, The Royal Rumble, some NJPW, and a whole slew of other stuff that happened in this last BUCK WIIIIIILD week of professional wrestling!

There's only one question to ask about this episode of Genuine Wrestleboys: Do the ideas discussed within by the 'boys belong in (a) Jail (for basically being very bad crimes), (b) A Dumpster (filled to the brim with Pepsi), or (c) Braun Strowman's Special XL Double Toilet (Presented by KFC)? Oh shoot, gang! The answer was actually: (d)All of the above (God forgive us for what we've done). The Wrestleboys talk about this week's 25th Anniversary Episode of Raw, the non-anniversary episode of SmackDown, and NXT, then preview this weekend's NXT Takeover: Philadelphia and Royal Rumble PPVs, further discuss last week's incredible toilet innovations, Braun Strowman's theoretical KFC activities, sipping Dumpster Pepsi to prevent spills, and invent a new Borat joke!

Step 1: toilet. Step 2: Add second toilet. Step 3: PROFIT BAYBAY! With this episode, your Genuine Wrestleboys present to you maybe our most off the rails, least wrestling focused episode yet. There wasn't a whole lot to talk about in wrestling this week, so things pretty quickly veer off into talk of multi-toilet pranks/inventions, snorting melatonin to get that GOOD night's sleep, and what TV shows we would like to see on the WWE Network. Enjoy our toilet crimes and Happy Rusev Day!

So, here's the thing, the 'boys only spend approximately 11 seconds of this episode talking about WWE because everyone knew the main event topic of discussion was gonna go the distance, and it was a sure-thing 6+ Star classic in the making, BROTHER BROTHER! AKA: New Japan Pro Wrestling done did it again with Wrestle Kingdom 12 and further cemented January 4th as Wrestling Christmas each year. Hear the 'boys break down the best thing since Sliced Trent(?), which matches they liked, which they liked more, and which they liked most, as well as Beautiful (Fake) Hair, the constant reinvention of Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega's big cosplay gun, and of course, Cheeseburger.
