It's our first ever dive into TNA! And trust us, it won't be the last, because there's a LOT to re-book there. This week, however, we're focusing on the villainous stable Aces & Eights.

Aces & Eights are perhaps one of the most polarising factions in wrestling history. Some loved them, some hated them, rarely with anything in between. Much like the NWO, they were a faction plagued with just too many members and no real direction, which is what eventually led to their downfall. This week, Bryce takes a swing at making them better, with the proven "less is more" tactic. 

PS, if you don't know much TNA, don't worry! There's plenty of scene setting in the catch up.

Now, honestly, could WWE be any more blatant with their disdain for the WWE Women's Tag Division? As it stands, there are barely any teams, because they fired most of them, and split up the rest. Now the division is simply fill of thrown-together teams, while teams like the Iconics and Riott Squad are left in the wings.

Dylan's got some ideas to fix this and make the division prestigious, so join us for another fun edition of Making Kayfabe!

Oh boy, we have fun with this one...

ZOMBIE LUMBERJACKS, Kayfabers! ZOMBIE. LUMBERJACKS. It was less than two months ago when this phrase was posted all over social media thanks to WWE's booking of Miz vs. Damien Priest at Wrestlemania Backlash, and yet, it somehow seems to have been forgotten already. Maybe that's intentional, maybe most fans have tried to block it out of their mind...

Making Kayfabe are here to rejog your memories!

Today, we imagine what could have happened if WWE had stuck with their guns and actually turned this mess into a storyline. Expect zombies, lots of zombies, and the return of a few familiar faces...

CHEERS!

URAH URAH URAH! This week may sound like an "out of the blue" one, but holy shit, you won't believe the story that Dylan has spun here. I've said it on the episode and I'll say it here - this is legitimately one of Dylan's best re-bookings. It cannot be missed.

Do you remember when Titus O'Neil got suspended for playfully grabbing Mr. McMahon's arm? Do you also remember how it was NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN? Dylan reckons there was a pretty obvious storyline to go along with that which was totally ignored, so today, he realises this episode in it's best form: a Making Kayfabe episode.

ENJOY!

JOIN THE DARK ORDER!

Tommy End is very much the zeitgeist of pro wrestling at the moment, so we made a wee change in our schedule to include an episode featuring him. It's time to find out how Tommy End would fit PERFECTLY into AEW's Dark Order. 

Honestly speaking, this may be one of Bryce's favorite episodes he's ever written. It's certainly the longest, with the highest word count for any Making Kayfabe booking ever pulled together. If you're not a big AEW fan, don't worry, in the catch-up we provide the important history of the Dark Order, as well as how Tommy End would fit perfectly into it. 

ENJOY!

This is possibly the most "sports entertainment-style" booking that Dylan has done, and the guy has absolutely knocked it out the park. Forget everything you knew about the Ascension (ESPECIALLY Fashion Files) and jump into a world where they are portrayed completely differently on the main roster. This is one you don't wanna miss.

KAYFABERS! Some of you may remember back in 2004 where Spike Dudley briefly turned heel and became "The Boss." Some of you may also remember that just when it was getting good, WWE fired the Dudley Boys and demoted Spike to Velocity. We're here today to show what Spike could have been if it weren't for WWE being very silly in squashing what could've been an excellent storyline. 

PS, big shout-out for Dylan editing the show AGAIN this week. Bryce's new laptop still hasn't arrived. :-(

BANG!

It's time to re-book DDP in the WWF and hey... lets NOT make him a maniacal stalker! This week, we book Diamond Dallas Page to his strengths, and even manage to involve another hugely underappreciated talent by WWF at the same time. Enjoy, Kayfabers!

PS, big shout-out for Dylan editing the show this week after Bryce's laptop DIED ON IT'S ARSE.

SEASON 4 HAS ARRIVED, and there's a new King in town, peasants.

To kick off Season 4, we are re-booking William Regal's epic heel run in 2008 which followed his King of the Ring victory. The run itself was brilliant, but it was unfortunately cut short due to Regal being flagged by WWE's Substance and Drug abuse policy.

Join us as we show EXACTLY HOW AWESOME a Regal heel run could've been. Hope you enjoy, Kayfabers!
