*DUH NUH* WE'RE BACK! And there is p-p-p-plenty to talk about after a long, hot, eventful Summa! But we mostly hand-wave that (saving for some hot opinions) and discuss AEW's mixed one-two of All In and All Out. Plus! Who is fixing the Freezoni machines at QuikTrip?! Also....CM Punk drops by (his reiki coach's house uninvited)!
Thanks to everyone who listens!

Another big catch-up episode exploring the lull AEW has found itself in as they wind down another long-winded PPV cycle. Calm Hulk Hogan is invoked. NJPW's business strategies, especially as they relate to Mercedes Monè and any potential US growth, turns into this week's "Big Debate." Plus, all the wrestling news you can actually use to repel friends and discourage people!

An episode wherein we did not cover a "big show" in full, you'd think we'd get out the door quickly. No! With all of the wild news, there was enough fuel for nearly three hours of gab and yak! We review, ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATE, and decipher:
- Logan Paul's lab's discovery of the greatest sports drink yet
- WWE's recent publicity nightmare (a lawsuit against their awful racist angles)
- Stardom's Queendom double main event from 4/23
- Jo...
After many delays, we were finally able to talk about Sakura Genesis 2023. So long as we're out ahead of SG 2024, it still counts!
Side note pertaining to one of the show's creators, Reclaim Joey:
It was recently revealed that he has been supporting his upper-crust lifestyle via a series of high-dollar Pokemon card heists. On the show, he denies the accusations as preposterous. An investigation has subsequently shown that former WW...
Well, we absolutely crammed as much wrestling into that weekend without requiring a run to the naloxone vending machine! Of course, this is all for better or worse. We hold our noses/breath and dive into the varied pools that were:
- ROH Supercard of Honor
- GCW Collective (Joey Janela's Spring Break, etc...)
- The company whose name slips my mind but they run "Wrestlemania"
- And more (although we didn't get to PCW's Slapfight at Six...
The object is to fit as much wrestling as possible into the weekend!

- Dutifully weigh in on Sami Zayn booking decisions

Woof! We pop in on WWE (out of a misplaced sense of duty?) to see who/what they are running out there for the Royal Rumble. Safe to say, the time one sets aside for wrestling is better spent elsewhere. We'll tell you allll about it including your mom's new boyfriend trying to get over by reciting his fading knowledge of Street Fighter II. Now drink your Mountain Dew Pitch Blacks, you vile little marks!
This one hurts. As a show we love Jay Briscoe and the Briscoes as a team. This episode was recorded two days after Jay's untimely and tragic death. Many details have come forward since, the biggest being good news regarding his daughters' recoveries and WBD's lifting of the Briscoes-ban leading to Mark Briscoe's appearance on tonight's episode of Dynamite.
We kind of ramble and riff about the greatness of Jay and our sadness at ...
Everything you ever wanted to know about NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17 and have by now already asked! PLUS: Vince McMahon bulls his way back onto scene. Do wrestling fans care?

Fill your week with many Monster Pops!
It wouldn't be a professional wrestling podcast without an end-of-the-year awards show! Thrill as we build to WOTY and MOTY and most importantly, BOTY!
**D Straight would like to apologize for having to vacate his post near the mid-point to first attend to his daughter and then to change Kota Ibushi's dipey while dodging enzuigiris!
May your New Year be FULL of many....Monster Pops!

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
