We're back from a much needed break and we're catching up on everything that we missed.  On the WWE side we're talking about RAW Underground, what the hell even is Retribution, the return of Roman Reigns, and their return to doing actual storytelling.  In the world of AEW we're talking what happened last night at All Out, the great storytelling they have been doing, and our excitement about them working with NWA!

This week we're back with a talk about the long career of one half of one of the best tag teams in wrestling history: Matt Hardy!  We take a look over his feuds, gimmicks, ups and downs, and the tremendous influence he had on the industry including the innovation of the cinematic wrestling match.

 

In the news we discuss all the recent Impact signings, WWE 2nd quarter profits, some new writers for WWE, and a the huge amount of new wrestling action figures that were recently announced.  Also, instead of a flashback match this week we are unboxing Mattel Elite 77 "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt!

After the last few research heavy episodes, we sit down to just talk about what's going on in wrestling, including WWE's new US title belt design, Adam Cole vs Kieth Lee, where we think the wrestlers WWE released in April are going to end up after their contracts are up, and plenty more

In the news we talk about rumors of WWE having another all female PPV, how WWE and AEW continue to hand covid-19, and crowds returning to NJPW.

In our flashback match we take a look at fantastic match between Owen Hart and Jushin Thunder Liger from April 28 1991.

NOTE: We are trying a new recording setup and there are some bugs that need to be worked out.  Thank you for your patience!  We really enjoyed recording this relaxed episode and we hope you enjoy it to and see it through regardless of some of the issues we had.

We conclude our look at ECW with a look at what happened after the company folded and was purchased by WWE. The wasted potential of the invasion angle, the incredible One Night Stand PPV's, and for the first time either of us really take a look at what WWE ECW was all about.

Also in the news, we talk about how covid has effected WWE and AEW this week, an update on #speakingout, and two women are leaving their companies but for two very different reasons.

So enough of the doom and gloom of the current world, lets travel back in time to a better time.  One might call it a simpler time.  A time where men drank beer in the ring, attempted to murder their opponents by throwing them off of scaffolding, and didn’t know the meaning of CTE. Today we’re talking about the good old days of ECW!

Since our last episode, the season finale of Dark Side of the Ring has aired, and it has gotten the wrestling world talking about the life and untimely death of Owen Hart.  We have been wanting to talk about the classic feud between Bret and Own for a long time, so this was the perfect time to dig into it!

We also do a quick recap of AEW Double or Nothing.  In the news we talk about a resigning at WWE, how WWE has recently changed their production, and the untimely deaths of Shad Gaspard and Hana Kimura

Today we're taking a look at cinematic and pre-taped matches.  They are currently on the rise with WWE having to use them more and more with current climate in the world, but they're hardly a new thing, even for WWE.  We're talking a look back at the history of them and what you can even define as a cinematic match as opposed to just a pre-tape.

In the news we discuss a legend leaving, a former WWE champion getting arrested, Drew Gulak has left the company, and The Man is having a baby!  We also have a quick talk about what happened at WWE Money in the Bank 2020, and look ahead to AEW Double or Nothing.

Things are pretty quiet currently in the world of professional wrestling, so this week week we're going back and taking a look at a trilogy of matches. The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin had three legendary matches spanning Wrestlemania XV, X7, and XIX and we're going to break them down, compare them, and talk about why we think they worked so well.

In the news we have more releases, a couple of injuries, Velveteen Dream had some photos leaked, and are AEW and WWE going to be able to have small audiences soon?

Wrestlemania 36 has come and gone, and Danny and Two-Bit are have alot to say about it.  We run through the card match by match and talk about what we think worked and what didn't, and how we feel about the pre-taped cinematic matches.

Also, in the news: Rhonda Rousey has been throwing around the 'F' word,  WWE is an essential service in Florida, but after a wave of firings apparently alot of the employees aren't quite essential enough

We're back and trying something new to get an episode out to you. We're talking about how WWE and AEW are dealing with the covid-19 crisis. What we've been watching during our quarantines, and what you should be checking out, and discussing some new Mattel Elite figures that were announced this week.

For the first time, we're recording remotely because of all the craziness that's happening in the world.  There's an audio issue or two that we need to work out, so we thank you for your patience while we sort this all out.
