The Shining Wizards Return with Episode 636

Over the Top leads off the show & as the boys try to transition into Backlash from Puerto Rico, they are hit with a Savio Vega bomb followed by a surprise guest who rocks the socks off the crew. It's a great surprise and something we were not ready for, and it bleeds over into our guest, ECW Legend "The Giant" Paul Lauria.

If you aren't familiar with Paul Lauria, he was on the ECW Ring Crew with Mikey Whipwreck and they used to do wrestling before the shows. This caught Paul E's eye, and the rest is history. We cover that history, Paul shares some hysterical stories with us, and we explore how it has come full circle & what Paul is up to know with Wrestling is Now.

Back from a quick break we are joined by Kate the Great from The Mark Order Podcast/Fightful/Fightful Select & every other podcast under the sun to go DOWN THE AISLE. Tonight we explore Royal Rumble 2009. ECW is running at full strength, Jack Swagger, The Matt Hardy Turn, Shawn Michaels being poor, forgettable WWE Love Triangles, what was Jim Duggan doing in 2009, Kozlov, Great Khali & much more.

We finally get to talk about Backlash, Pay Per View Picks, the women's title situation, Bad Bunny, the Bloodline, Cody and more. Plus Matt answers some of KJG's questions about the world of NJPW. We also talk about the addition of Trinity to the Impact Women's Division.
