Taco Bell Dessert Strategy Debate
Scott and Jefry discussed the Baja Blast Pie from Taco Bell, with Scott expressing indifference towards the pie due to its unappealing color and high price. They agreed that Taco Bell should focus on reviving the Choco Taco instead of the Baja Blast Pie to truly dominate the dessert market. Jefry mentioned that he and his coworkers had been discussing the pie on Instagram, noting that reviews were generally underwhelming. The conversation concluded with a reminder for listeners to support the podcast by purchasing shirts from Pro WrestlingTees or WhatAManeuver.net, and to send emails to Fully Poseable WFP at gmail dot com.
2025 Toy Hall of Fame Inductees
Jefry and Scott discussed the passing of Norman J. Lewis, co-founder of LJN, and reflected on the impact of LJN's toys and video games. They then focused on the National Toy Hall of Fame, highlighting the induction of three new toys for 2025: Battleship, Slime, and Trivia Pursuit. Jefry provided a brief history of the Hall of Fame, mentioning previous inductees and the process of selecting toys for induction.
AEW Wrestling Figures Discussion
Jefry and Scott discussed various wrestling figures and collectibles, including Cody Rhodes' Winged Eagle title Pillow Buddy, KWK's White Fantasy gear of the Orient Express, and Major Pod's upcoming AEW wrestler figure. They also talked about the Big Rubber Guy Edge figure available at ShopAEW.com, with a limited variant featuring Darby Allen face paint. Finally, they briefly mentioned WWE Minx Collectibles' new series of figures and the upcoming Best of Ultimate Edition Series 7, featuring AJ, Cody, and Undertaker.
Failed ECW Video Game Critique
Scott and Jefry discussed Hardcore Revolution, Acclaim's first ECW video game released in 2000 for multiple platforms. They criticized Acclaim for simply reusing and reskinning the WWE Attitude game rather than creating a unique ECW experience, leading to poor reviews and disappointment among fans. The game featured button combinations for moves, terrible graphics, and a basic career mode, while Acclaim's subsequent game, Anarchy Rules, was similarly lackluster. Despite the initial success of Acclaim's WWE games, Hardcore Revolution failed to capture the same magic, and Acclaim eventually went out of business in 2004, with its assets being acquired by THQ
Acclaim's Revival and Gaming Future
Jefry and Scott discussed the revival of Acclaim Entertainment in 2025, led by Russell Binder, Mark Kaplan, and wrestler Jeff Jarrett, with Alex Joseph appointed as CEO. They reviewed Acclaim's announcement of nine indie games, including "Katu" and "Basketball Classics," and reflected on Acclaim's past wrestling games, criticizing them for reusing the same engine and not innovating despite competition. Scott and Jefry also shared their disappointment with the ECW Hardcore Revolution game, noting its generic music, poor character animations, and lack of innovation compared to other wrestling games of the time. They briefly discussed eBay prices for various gaming cartridges and the concept of graded video games as collectibles.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
