This week, the guys discuss the fallout of the Rock replacing Cody Rhodes in the main event of Wrestlemania 40. Does Dwayne Johnson deserve the hate for what fans have demanded for years, or is Cody still in the works for the main event? Plus, Damage CTRL finally turned on Bayley, and Bayley promised to take on Iyo at Mania.

In AEW, Sting and Darby are set to take on Big Bill and Ricky Starks in Pheonix this week. Tyler and Brad give their thoughts on Sting’s likelihood to hold gold. Meanwhile, Daniel Garcia has been climbing the ranks and seems poised to take on Christian and the patriarchy for the TNT title.

The Bachelor rolls on, and the Curse of Oak Island keeps cursing. In between, we have missed the State of 19 Media Group. The guys resurrect the segment to gas up their stable.

This week, the guys break down the Royal Rumble. Before the start, they talk the Remix Rumble in the reappearance of Gutbuster of the Week. That’s just to break up the horrific lawsuit against Vince McMahon, Johnny Ace, and the WWE. In a week that saw that incredible low, the WWE also inked a five-billion dollar deal with Netflix. There’s a lot to unpack.

AEW also had programming this week. The women’s division is stepping up, and Tyler has questions about the Virtuosa. Brad wants to know what the counter to the Netflix deal will look like. Plus, Tyler gives us another Rose and drops the details on a recent date, and Brad asks Tyler about his playing in the dirt phase of childhood. This episode is bursting at the seems.

Plus, Brad goes all in on Oak Island and Zealandia while Tyler pledges his allegiance to two universities. Tyler also gives his Bachelor season preview this week. If that’s not enough, they talk NFL playoffs and they lament the state of the Pistons. It’s another loaded episode ahead of one of the best events of the year.

This week, the guys talk about a lot around the world of pro wrestling, but probably a lot more in the world of sports and entertainment. In the WWE, trios matches are ramping out and the future of a trios division looks bright. Also, Giulia looks to be heading to WWE and the Tyler and Brad try to predict where she will end up.

In AEW and beyond, AEW talent is all over the screen. Jungle Boy is in New Japan and the House of Black is in main events. Plus, Tony Khan is on X hurling tweets at Stanford as Eric Bischoff shakes his fist at clouds. Brad makes Tyler the steward of online interactions to right the ship or embrace the chaos.

Brad goes off on the Dallas Cowboys in an unbiased rant while wearing a Packers hoodie after Tyler breaks down the coaching carousel in pro and college football. Tyler is tired of losing gym time to conversations, regrets going on dates at the outlet mall, and is mystified by the mystery of Oak Island as Brad drops a new segment. This episode is as loaded with content as the wrestling world around us is, so tap in.

This week, the guys talk about a young, upstart professional wrestler named Dwayne Johnson who is seemingly challenging Roman Reigns for table supremacy. Plus, LA Knight has cooled off since his white-hot summer. Is this a problem?

In AEW, the women’s division continues to grow and improve. Are they utilizing all of their star power as Saraya leads an incredible viral video campaign on social media? Plus, it’s Daniel Garcia’s year. What can we expect?

Plus, Freya has a fort and, well, something that sounds similar to fort. Brad breaks it down in Someday When You Have Kids. The Golden Wedding took place this week, putting a nail in the guest book for the Golden Bachelor. Finally, Tyler hit the theater this week and caught The Iron Claw which he reviews in GI at the Movies.

This week, the guys talk about who will return to the WWE Day 1 Raw as well as the live event success at MSG and the Kia Forum. WWE is absolutely on fire right now and Tyler and Brad give their thoughts.

AEW World’s End happened. It was not the best event they’ve ever put on. There were loads of storylines going into the event that caused a black cloud to hang over the entire show. They give their thoughts on the card, and they finish the pod with what AEW needs to do to change their public perception of myriad issues in the company.

Tyler went to American Fiction. The tears flowed, and he wasn’t sure when that happened to him. He recounts his experience with the film.
