Shake Them Ropes returns with just the best show of all time. Jeff is tired after watching 3 hours of wrestling each for four straight days. Rob is sick and can't breathe. Jeff's audio also isn't great at first because, I don't know, net neutrality? Anyway, this is a fun show where we talk Orton vs Christian from SummerSlam 2011, Samoa Joe in NXT possibly, Jeff live at PWG, and the biggest notes from Raw this week. Check out our interview this week with EVOLVE's Gabe Sapolsky at VoicesofWrestling.com!
