Connor shares the wedding as it’s used in wrestling; whether as a union of two irresistible forces, a situation used to advance the story, or explaining behind-the-scenes relationships - we discuss the celebration, the mayhem, and the nonsense. Plus - AEW’s Continental Challenge Cup (or c3? Can we PLEASE use that?) kicks off while Speedball and the Protostar face off in Mexico City.
