Episode 51: WWE Backlash 2025


Listen Later

We start the show off giving our memories of Sabu after his recent untimely passing, and his influence on the wrestling business to this day. We then go over the recent cuts from WWE and where we think they all could end up, and if Braun Strowman could make a good bodyguard for the elite, as well as where we would want to eat everything off the menu. Then we finally get into Backlash and their 5 match, 2.5 hour card. Things start off surprisingly great with a breakout performance for Lyra Valkyria and repeated calls for more LJ Cleary bookings. Then the show goes off a cliff, with a wide range of opinions being shared, and a shocking disagreement over how much nostalgia one of us had for the main event. Regardless, fun was had, and another Backlash is in the booms once again in our first post-WrestleMania week show!


Catch us on Socials and talk to us about wrestling, perhaps help us move forward from our dreams of a Gabe Kidd vs. Travis Scott match.
