01:14:21 - Outro

Another busy weekend of wrestling saw both WWE and AEW run pay per views for the wrestling world and our hosts Jeremy Graves and The Dekker Dane decide to do a bit of show and tell where they each review a show.

The Dekker Dane talks about WWE Payback, dubbed seemingly a filler episode of WWE storytelling with the odd highlight in the form of Becky Lynch vs Trish Stratus in a steel cage and a chaotic street fight between The Judgement Day and Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.

Following a newsworthy week, for mostly CM Punk reasons, Jeremy Graves sees if this year's All Out can end up beind a sweet ending after a chaotic few days for the promotion. With the return of Bryan Danielson against Ricky Starks, Miro and Powerhouse Hobbs smacking "meat" and the International Championship headlining, how will All Out be remembered?

This is the audio version of our impromptu live stream to discuss the news as it happened on Saturday 2nd September 2023.

Jeremy Graves and The Dekker Dane catch up to talk all things AEW with the historic All In show at Wembley stadium. Our hosts reflect on the experience of attending the show in person and their highlights from the event. If that's not all, they're also contemplating what to expect from All Out.

But the wrestling doesn't stop there as they make some very quick predictions for WWE Payback 2023 - a show that might have been a slight afterthought, all recent developments considered, but might have some great potential!

Jeremy Graves and Tom Linberry are back to predict what they think is going to happen at AEW’s All In: London event this weekend. But before getting to that, they touch on the news from the past few days of the passing of both Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt.

They discuss their memories of Terry Funk as well as his legacy, then briefly touch on Bray Wyatt’s impact too — a quick note the reason we say briefly is that there will be a separate podcast coming focusing more specifically on Bray Wyatt. So be on the look out for that in the coming days.
