Words help all of us relate to our favorite characters on screen, on stage, and in the ring. But in each of these mediums, there are times where stories rely on the physical aspect and not verbal. How can we relate to our characters when they don't say anything?

TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual assault, suicide, and graphic violent acts are discussed in this episode. They all pertain to Shakespearean plots and the characters within.
Revenge plays are some of audiences favorite stories to watch. Seeing the villain get their comeuppance as we root on the hero to avenge the wrongdoing but there's so much more at stake than just 'getting even'.

Of the many overlaps between Shakespeare and professional wrestling Tyler and Dave have spoken of on this podcast, there is maybe one thing that happens more often than any of them in both worlds respectively: Betrayals. They're so much fun and usually leave us with a feeling of closure and satisfaction. See what Tyler and Dave have to say about betrayals and how they exist in both worlds.

Tyler and Dave react to Saturday's Elimination Chamber event which saw the return of Jade Cargill and Randy Orton, an uncensored f-bomb (Dave was really excited for that), and a heel turn that has been the talk of the wrestling world since.

What makes for a good villain? Villains are everywhere and in every media we consume (not just Shakespeare and pro wrestling) and a story can't exist without them and it's more than 'being bad'. There are many answers to this rather vague question so see what Tyler and Dave have to say about it.

In 2001, Stone Cold Steve Austin started doing something that would catch on in the WWE, and the professional wrestling industry, like nothing before and it was only one word: What. But Tyler believes the basic principle behind the 'What?' chant has parallels in Shakespeare and its meter by being it's anti-meter. What do you think?

Oh look, more similarities! On this episode, Tyler and Dave look at the role of the Greek Chorus and how the play-by-play commentary of professional wrestling seems to be a direct descendant of it. Tyler and Dave make pretty compelling arguments but what do you think? Did they find another parallel?

Dave made a pretty bold claim that William Shakespeare is one of the, if not the, best booker in history. Do you think he can back that up? Listen for yourself.

American Samoans and The English Royalty of the mid-15th century. Feuding relatives over who rules supreme. Backstabbing and double-crossings galore. Sound familiar? The Bloodline IS The War of the Roses. Tyler and Dave illuminate the striking parallels between the two sagas of families at war with each other.

Tyler and Dave to dive exclusively into women's wrestling when talking about Columbina and her shoot from the hip style. In a sense, she's the best friend we all wish we had.

Described as the 'everyman' of commedia, Pulcinella leaves more than a disaster behind them wherever they go. They leave a trail of unintentional devistation...and we love them for it.

Covetous. Impotent. Miserly. Aside from them being wonderful words they all accurately describe our next stock commedia character: Pantalone. But what makes them so covetous, impotent, and miserly. Well we could tell you, but since you're hear you might as well listen to the episode.

For the next stock character, Tyler and Dave have chosen Il Capitano to get up close and personal with. Il Capitano is the definition of a coward, or as they refer to him as multiple times, a 'chicken(bleep)'. But is that present in macho-infused backdrop of professional wrestling? The answer is a resounding YES! But find out how with The Ringside Rogues.
