We didn’t feel comfortable recording an episode this week. This is not the time for distraction so we have a special message for our fellow Americans. We aren’t pretending to have answers but hope you’ll listen.

What a difference a week makes. The May 20th episode has walked the guys back from the ledge. Someone at WWE must be listening because this was such a drastic change it was almost catered to them; A new rivalry has them really intrigued, UE and the Luminous Dream storyline continues and as usual the women do no get their just deserts but make the most of their time. Thanks for listening!

*production note Hector got a new mic and the quality took a little hit but we’ll but we’ll figure it out for next week

Call it isolation tantrums if you want but neither of the guys had a good time watching the May 13th episode of NXT. There were some bright spots; good main event, seeds got planted, and as always Undisputed Era delivered the most entertainment of the night. There was only one episode where we’ve been this critical and that was lost to engineer issues so if nothing else its a change of pace. Fair warning this one is definitely explicit.

Thanks for listening!

Quarantine continues! Wrestling Continues! The guys are still being good; staying home and this week discussing the May 6th episode of NXT. The women’s division is starting to get interesting and there is finally some disagreement on their booking. Also a new and unexpected favorite rivalry and a long teased debut.

Fair Warning the discussion gets very explicit briefly around the 22 minute mark. Hector is VERY passionate about Io.

2nd episode within a week as the guys catch up with the April 29th episode of NXT. Quarantine had Hector extra salty and has Joseph come around on Lumis, no, he has not. Short and succinct recaps and predictions with a little AEW sprinkled in.

Once again due to various reasons the guys took an unexpected break but now they’re back and covering the April 22nd episode of NXT. After the episode discussion, they recap where we are now and their feelings on the integral parts of the roster. Cruiserweight tourney, WWE releases and little AEW also featured. Thanks for listening!

With orders going into effect nationwide, any wrestling that is happening needs to be have been recorded by now. This week the guys discuss the April Fools Day episodes of NXT and their highlights AEW Dynamite. This week there is a lot of comparison between the two shows and how they are handling the situation, Sam Roberts is trash and quarantine fantasy booking included one prediction that is already out of date but fun anyway. What else do you have to do right now? Stay home, Watch wrestling. Listen?

The guys are feeling the effects of quarantine but luckily NXT provides. After last weeks clip show, the week of March 25th did not disappoint. This week; two women’s qualifiers, both of the guys respective favorites got a lot time and they sneak in some more AEW talk.

After railing on the promotion only two episodes ago Joseph is all in. The guys’ briefly touch on this weeks phoned in NXT weekly show on March 18th. They shift their focus to AEW to discuss the exalted one and Matt Hardy’s debut and share their hopes for when wrestling and the world gets back to some normalcy. Short episode this week for lack of content we’ll get more creative for next week.

Once again forces beyond their control conspired to keep the guys from talking about wrestling last week, March 4th. You’d think they’d take the hint, but awareness is not these guys’ strength. This week they make it up and discuss that episode as well as the March 11th one. The North American title picture develops, Velveteen Dream finally gets what he’s deserved since day one and has Joseph finally come around on Gargano? All this and some AEW follow up (HINT: Joseph was patently wrong again)
