June 04, 2024 Booking Stables With PLE Names (Pt. 1)
Judgment Day is a top faction on Raw; Judgment Day was also a PLE from 2000-2009.
Evolution was a stable in 2003-2005; Evolution was also a PLE in 2018.

On this episode, Mark creates two factions based on names of former premium live events. Crowdsourced ideas from fellow podcasters, and listeners are also included! From Breaking Point to No Mercy and Vengeance to Unforgiven, there are multiple concepts that could work, if WWE wanted to continue the trend of using PLE names for stables.

April 23, 2024 Booking 2004 If Triple H Really Went To Smackdown
Arguably the biggest pick in the 2004 WWE Draft was Triple H. Due to a trade between the brands, "The Game" never actually went over to the blue brand. In this episode, Mark explores an alternate 2004, with a Smackdown built around Triple H. He also looks at how Raw would have survived, specifically Evolution, without its centerpiece. Not only does 2004 get rebooked, but also the early months of 2005, and the road to Wrestlemania 21!

On April 11, 2011, Adam Copeland stood in the ring on Monday Night Raw to announce his retirement. Eric and Mark were in attendance that night, and it was an important event in their fandom. In this episode, Mark recounts the experience of seeing Edge's retirement speech, in person, and he rebooks the year if the retirement was just an angle.

April 09, 2024 Rebooking Rey vs. Dom in a Cinematic Match
During the global pandemic, WWE, and other wrestling companies, experimented with cinematic matches.

At Wrestlemania 39, Rey Mysterio fought his son, Dom, in a one-on-one match, in the ring at SoFi Stadium. What would their match have looked like, if they fought at Rey Mysterio's house? Join Mark as he rebooks the Wrestlemania match as a cinematic clash!
