This weekend, we saw nuclear heat in and out of the ring. Gunther and Sheamus had an epic stare-down before a titanic battle, multi-women matches took place in both companies, titles were decided and defended, and the Acclaimed have truly arrived. Even though Punk wrestled in Danhausen’s comfortable boots, he left us all uncomfortable at the scrum. Let’s talk about it.

This week, the guys talk about all of the insanity in professional wrestling, their own lives, and the Bachelorette. The WWE saw the return of Johnny Wrestling this week, and the possibilities have Brad and Tyler talking about his ceiling on the main roster. Plus, they discuss what the monetary impact Triple H could have on the companies fiscal year, only they do it in a way that doesn’t sound that boring.

AEW saw Jon Moxley squashing CM Punk only two weeks before they were set to face off at All Out. This was arguably the biggest match in company history, so it is baffling what took place. They discuss the roster diversity heading into the payee, and talk about whether or not the audience even cares about the backstage drama in AEW.

Brad spills his water and forgets baseball is a thing, and Tyler talks about a different Tyler when he delivers another rose for us.

This week, the guys break down the return of Kenny Omega to AEW Trios Tournament action, and they discuss an absolutely incendiary promo quartet between the promotions. CM Punk and Jon Moxley may hate each other’s guts, and Drew McIntyre and Kevin Owens made us believe every word they said. Plus, the guys project what Roman’s legacy will be when the head of the table finally leaves his boots in the center of the ring.

Tyler gives us a preview of this week’s The Bachelorette, and he also spends some time sharing his love of Mother Earth. Brad tries to follow that up by talking about recycling, but mostly just sounds like a recycling truck on a gravel road. The mess is embraced fully, gratitude is shared, and GI rolls into a really busy month unless Kathy Harvey, USA gets in the way again.

This week, the guys break down the week that was in professional wrestling by beginning the conversation with the NFL and Hard Knocks. Brad watched SmackDown and Raw this week, and Tyler knows that the WWE had shows. They discuss the promising change in the way mid-card titles are presented, and they dive into what old-school finisher could be used as a finisher by a current star.

In AEW, Tyler gives Brad five plus one or two options to choose from, and Brad gushes over the Lionheart. Tyler also once again gives the simplest and best answer to how to fix taped Rampage episodes.

In between all of this, Tyler gives us what’s good in the world of the Bachelorette, including potential babyface and heel turns. They give us the state of the 19 Media Group, and they each share their gratitude, including a story about the impact that kindness can make. It’s an ironic story, given how much Brad dislikes one Parker Boudreaux after he was unfollowed on Twitter. Petty? Yes. Entertaining? Probably also yes. Tune in to find out!

This week, the guys talk about the wild week in professional wrestling and beyond. In WWE, Raw was engaging, made total sense, and created importance for a title that has needed some serious shine. We also got the return of Karrion Kross on the main roster, but this time - and most importantly - Scarlett. And yes, Brad has thoughts on lip-synching.

AEW delivered two live shows this week with a bonus third show. There were some incredible matches that they discuss, and they break down the tag division and whether or not taped events should be treated as big events.

As always, Tyler delivers another Rose from Tyler prior to reflect on the Rose Report and his picks last week from The Bachelorette. Brad gives us a college story that might make it into the teaser this week, and both of them share their gratitude.

This week, the guys break down SummerSlam by taking what could have been twenty-five minutes into an hour. It was an eventful night, and Triple H’s impact was felt immediately after a great match between Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch. Brock v Roman delivered, mostly via tractor, and what was a show packed with Money in the Bank leftovers still managed to taste pretty fresh.

Tyler gives us an update on the Bachelorette, including some jabroni named “Meatball,” and Brad has questions about the AEW women’s division, especially with how they should respond after the reveal of the newest women’s faction at SummerSlam. Edge returns, Mox retains, and the hour show goes a buck forty!

SummerSlam Preview 2022

On this special edition of GI, the guys sit down with George Romero - a former student of Brad’s, a wrestling aficionado, and an all around good dude - to pick SummerSlam. They also fantasy book potential post-show angles, and Brad goes all in with a return to end the show. The guys also discuss how the show may be impacted by the new creative control of one Paul Leveque, also known as Triple H. Will the guys nail their picks, or will it end up as disastrous as their last attempts?

On this special edition of GI, the guys react to the news that Vince McMahon is retiring after a half century in the business. They discuss the complicated legacy that he leaves behind, and what might happen in the future. This is one of the biggest non-wrestling moments in professional wrestling, and the shockwaves might be felt for years to come.

But that doesn’t stop the guys from talking about Nope! Tap in and check out this bonus episode.
