A bonus amuse bouche before our final, most-nominated match next week: Eamonn Bell returns with his concept for drafting the 104 into supercards, with the twist that once a match has been picked, all other matches with all participating wrestlers are eliminated. Listen now for all the twists, turns, intrigue, drama, discussion and lunacy!

PLUS: novelty draught excluders, El Generico, penalties, Coke Zero, the European Title, BRUCE, squeaky bum time, the Florida Bros., pandemic wrestling, colour coding, DDTeach!, recycling, Adam Edegland, the best Royal Rumble, possibly Kieran’s best ever impression, wrestling fashion, a bonus dark match, RRR, and lots and lots of everybody’s mouse clicks.
