  • Ep. 114 Return of the Studio Audience and the Barking Spiders
    Brandon Tanguma and Dominic Hobson are back to discuss the week 17 of the NFL season, can the Raiders do the impossible and make the playoffs at 8-8. And some end of the year talk for the NBA, what teams have stood and Dominic says the Warriors still have a legitimate chance at making the playoffs. 
    Some talk on who has made the all decade team for the MLB, NFL, and the NBA, who were snubbed from the team, and who might be overrated. In wrestling we decide who was the wrestler of the year, show of the year, and the match of the year. And finally a debate on what was the match of the decade and the wrestler of the decade. 
    Thank you all for another fantastic year. We have some big plans for 2020, we hope you stay along for the ride. Please hit us up on twitter, Facebook or email. Let us know what you want to see from us next decade and any questions you want us to answer on the podcast, it doesn't have to be sports or wrestling related.
