The “Rated R Superstar” Edge has been a fixture in the wrestling business for over two decades; this week Jimmy and Brian dive deep into the career of Edge, including some great stories from the past.  As a 31 time champion Edge built his career at an early age with Christian while at school, and then made their dreams a reality when they signed with WWE.  Edge’s career may seem like a fiction novel to some but to Edge it is real and he will continue to make the best out of it as long as he has left in the ring.

Without Hulk Hogan the wrestling business would not be where it is today.  This week Brian and Jimmy talk about some of the great moments he had in WWE, WCW, and TNA.  Before Scott Hall and Kevin Nash jumped from WWE to WCW Hulk Hogan did it in 1994 and helped to put WCW on the map; making people turn the channel to see what was happening on WCW television.  Towards the back end of his career Hulk had one last run in WWE in 2002, helping put over guys like The Rock and Brock Lesnar.  However, he lastly made a stop in TNA attempting to drop some “Hogan Dust” on their great talent.  Finally, Hulk Hogan will always be remembered as the key component of making the wrestling business what it is today and forever.

It’s True, It’s Damn True!!! Your Olympic Hero, Kurt Angle is the guest on this weeks episode. However, before Kurt comes on the show with us, seeing that it is Wrestle Mania week Brian and Jimmy remember some of their favorite memories of Wrestle Mania.  Secondly, Kurt talks about his record breaking first year in the business. We attempted to figure out who had a similar first year; listen to find out who we think.  Not only did Kurt have a phenomenal career in WWE but when he went to TNA in 2006 he was quickly made the man of the company.  His rivalries with Samoa Joe, AJ Styles and Jeff Jarrett were something that Kurt cherished so much while with TNA.  Lastly, Kurt talks about the transition from WWE to TNA as well as the difference in the relationship he had with Vince McMahon compared to Dixie Carter.
