Randy Orton and Mick Foley's feud, match, aftermath, and future are also greatly explored on this episode. Austin's deal with the company, his reason for leaving, Brock's pursuit of the NFL, and Goldberg's opinion about WWE are all discussed plus Rosey, Garrison Cade, and a few other names rarely discussed get the Prichard treatment as well. The guys also take a moment before the show starts to discuss the future of Something To Wrestle.
