You Cannot Kill David Arquette was released in 2020 on Hulu, and the documentary covered Arquette's foray back into wrestling after his acting career stalled. 

The guys take a deep dive into this documentary and talk about how unfair it is that some wrestling fans blame David Arquette himself for the death of wrestling.

To date, it's been the only WrestleMania to take place in the City of Brotherly Love, and this week, we have our very special guest The Blue Meanie to take the deep dive with us into WrestleMania XV! Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock headline what may not have been the greatest WrestleMania ever, but there's certainly no shortage of stories to come out of the March 28, 1999 pay-per-view from the First Union Center.

ECW icon and WWF superstar The Blue Meanie joins the guys as we take not only a deep dive into the event itself, but a peak behind the curtain into the leadup, the WrestleMania Rage Party, his involvement in WrestleMania, icons who were involved in and around the show, and so much more on this episode. We'll hear behind-the-scenes stories from the Meanie, from his times going to WrestleMania as a kid to being a part of the event in his own hometown.

Vaughn (@VaughnMJohnson) and Nick (@nickpiccone) are joined by ECW legend The Blue Meanie (@BlueMeanieBWO) as they take a trip down memory lane and celebrate the anniversary of ECW's first-ever pay-per-view, Barely Legal, live from the ECW Arena.

As we discuss how ECW showed up on WWF television in 1996, the invasion on RAW in February 1997 to April's Barely Legal pay-per-view, Meanie takes us behind-the-scenes and details what it was like having that promotion on WWF television and the reaction from within to the pay-per-view. Some great anecdotes, stories and memories are re-lived on this special edition of The Straight Shooters!

Join us on the Ultimate Thrill Ride as we take a deep dive into WrestleMania 33 from Orlando's Citrus Bowl! April 2, 2017 saw what was perhaps the best aesthetically-pleasing WrestleMania to date. The set looked spectacular, the colors were vibrant, the weather was perfect, and WWE settled down in Orlando, Florida's Citrus Bowl for another edition of WrestleMania.

The builds to these matches were pretty good, but some of the in-ring work was less than stellar. Join us as we take a deep dive into the matches, and a special segment by a Patreon member who recounted his experience in Orlando at this event.

This week, the guys deep dive into what Nick thinks is the greatest WrestleMania of all-time. In 2014, WWE backed into a great show with a great story heading into it in Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H. It paid off beautifully in the end.

Unfortunately, that wouldn't last, but it doesn't take away from the fact that for the first time in a very, very long time - WWE did the right thing!

Join us as we deep dive into all the happenings of WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans, discuss the advent of the WWE Network and its future on Peacock, and more!
