  • Has Paul Heyman Saved WWE Raw? | The Young & The Wrestlers Ep 32

    Literally minutes after Ryan and Jem wrapped last weeks episode of The Young and The Wrestlers the WWE dropped some MASSIVE news!

    Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff are officially the Creative Directors for Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live respectively.

    Although there has been no start date announced this weeks episode of Raw unquestionably had Heyman’s fingerprints all over it.

    Less video packages, longer cuts, swears, cameos from 205 and NXT, along with some nice soap opera undertones.

    Join Ryan and Jem as they take a look at these changes and discuss whether it will be an improvement and whether SmackDown needs to follow suit.

    WWE Monday Night RAW originally aired on 1/7/2019 and SmackDown Live on 2/7/2019.

    The Young and The Wrestlers is a show driven by the soap opera nature of WWE. Each week Ryan and Jem will break down the WWE’s staple shows, Raw and SmackDown Live, along with the monthly Pay Per Views and look into the ongoing story and narratives of your favourite Superstars. Whether you are old or new to the world of wrestling, you will have a great time with The Young and The Wrestlers

  • Anthem – Is It THAT Bad? | For The Players – The PopCulturists’ PlayStation Podcast EP110

    Since it’s launch Anthem has been a laughing stock of the games business.

    With allegations of a bland world, poor gameplay, and literally no story Josh was intrigued.

    After playing the Beta neither Ryan or Josh were too interested, however with EB Games practically giving away copies Josh took it onto himself to actually give it a go.

    In our attempt for minimum level investigative journalism we ask: Is Anthem that bad?
