Breaking news! The Greeks watched SmackDown!

With the wonky scheduling of WWE the last few weeks, they get a pass, but do they GIVE a pass to what they saw this week?

Also, who are their picks for the King and Queen of the Ring?  Does AEW have anything planned for the Death Riders?  That and a LOT more come up on this week's sit down with Mitch Hontzias and Dimitri Korlis!

This week, join host Stefan Bennett with Mike McGuire as they take a brief glimpse at the life and career of one of wrestling's most believable stars.  Whether "Flyin" early in his career or epitomizing a "Loose Cannon" in front of and behind the curtain, the story of Brian Pillman, while all too short, is fascinating to look back at and discuss.

In a story that broke early in the weekend, the lawsuit between WWE Shareholders and Vince McMahon and TKO executives has been dropped.  While not a criminal trial, the implications of the trial being dropped are still being learned.  How much money could Vince McMahon and TKO be liable for - if anything?  

Mercedes Mone has returned to AEW TV, adding some bigger star power to the Women's division and the Owen Hart Tournament.  Chad Gable, after dropping the El Grande Americano mask is back for redemption, and possibly a true opportunity.  Danhausen is expanding his curse range, and more!

At a time when WWF/WWE Television was peaking, their biggest star and hottest attraction was out of action.  That aside, Fully Loaded 2000 remains a PPV that is remembered fondly by fans.

From crazy stipulations to a "Triple Main Event", what made this show so special?  How did WWE manage to make up for a missing mega-star?  Which new faces saw breakthrough outings?

The gWo are back after a week off, as we get ready for AEW's Double or Nothing PPV!  Plus, the guys look at the shocking return of Brock Lesnar, The Bucks of Jericho and more!

Plus, a look into tonight's WWE Saturday Night's Main Event, trying to figure out the Moxley/Ospreay relationship, El Grande Americano and more!

The war between WCW and WWE was reaching its boiling point.  Bret Hart would challenge The Undertaker for the WWE Championship, with the controversial Shawn Michaels as the special referee.  Tensions were high, and the show titled "Hart and Soul" brought a series of stories and stipulations to a talent-stacked card.

Despite the talent and star power, the show struggled, and would also play scene to one of the most damaging and defining injuries to a Superstar in history.  Join Stefan Bennett as he walks us through the time as well as the events leading up to and following the card in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Joining Stefan for this episode, Celebrate Wrestling's Mike McGuire offers his perspective and memories from the time, and you're welcome to share yours as well!
