It's a 3-on-3 tag match, so what better time to bring on two guests for the first time ever? Shannon and Jay drop in to discuss The Shield, the Wyatt Family, regional cuisine, the mechanics of hillbilly swamp magic, and little wooden John Cenas hand-carved by the Amish.

Prodigal guest Tara returns to the show after a long absence to discuss the rivalry between Asuka and Ember Moon, the state of modern women's wrestling, and the difficulty of building and maintaining a lasting legacy.

Stephen "The Train" Graham pulls back into the station to discuss "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, blood, guts, tradition, chaos, life, love, hate, tragedy, inevitability, and Bret "Hitman" Hart. Hear Stephen eat a sandwich on the air!

Jinx returns to discuss Demolition, the beloved BDSM uncles of his youth. We discuss how they're ripoffs of ripoffs, facing off against their own bootleg substitutes -- as well as throw shade at the dismal managerial career of one Mr. Fuji.

Kylene joins the show to discuss the time that tiny bearded Washingtonian Daniel Bryan captured the imagination of millions and brought a billion-dollar pro wrestling and marketing empire to its knees.

Nicole joins me to discuss the continuing adventures of Ric Flair. This time, an aging Flair is matched against a giant hateful biker in an uncomfortably violent brawl. Also: The world's most bizarre game of Fuck/Marry/Kill!

Ahmad and I complete our study of John Cena by revisiting the time WWE's golden boy found himself surrounded by the rabid fans of a defunct promotion, defending his title against their own chosen hero, the unconventionally chill Rob Van Dam. WE also compare RVD to CM Punk, 2006 to 2011, and ECW to garbage!

Ahmad threepeats to discuss the bittersweet legacy of pro wrestling iconoclast CM Punk on the 7th anniversary of this match. Also: a deep dive into the divisive figure of John Cena, pro wrestling vs. sports entertainment, and the role of the crowd in creating a truly legendary match.

The show goes international as Katy Lees calls in from England to discuss the lasting legacy of one Mick Foley, also known as Mankind. We also discuss fairy tale endings, fashionable opera gloves, and how sometimes a performer's real backstory is more interesting than their character's fake one.

Jared returns to discuss the Japanese wrestling ethos known as Strong Style. It's strong strikes, strong emotion, and strong personalities as flamboyant veteran Shinsuke Nakamura defends his championship against upstart Kota Ibushi.
