The Shining Wizards

A huge week of wrestling and we are back to talk about some of it. 

After catching up and hitting Over the Top the boys jump into AEW Revolution. 

Matt has some issues with a few things from the PPV. No time clock, legal tags in a NO DQ match and a lack of explanation on the DQ during the Iron Man Match. Besides that him and Kevin enjoyed the show. Tony hated the Texas Death Match, and we have some fun arguing about that, like why would you wrap yourself in barbed wire and jump on another man? A Brick? Ohh also, is it ok to throw a drink on a child? The room is split 50/50

We are then joined by the beautiful and talented Gabby Ortiz. Gabby is a main character in the brand new AppleTV + Monster Factory show debuting on March 17th. We talk about the camera's outside the ring, being vulnerable, how she fell back in love with wrestling, lumberjacks, mountains, and so much more. It's a fantastic conversation with a future superstar, get to know her before the show drops on the 17th. 

After Gabby we put a bow on Revolution, and prepare for Can You Beat That. This is a must listen to battle, do we crown a new Can You Beat That Champion? You have to listen

We wrap things up with some ROH talk and Tony hits us with a going home.

It's another Monday Night, and you know what that means 

After Tony and Handsome Kevin held it down last week, the whole crew is back this week. For some ungodly reason, they spend the first 20 minutes talking about Matt's vacation. Did the boys hype it up too much last week? Were you disappointed? Was there a porthole? 

We jump into the crazy week in the WWE, Vince McMahon is back, is the company for sale? Stephanie McMahon resigns. We have no clue what any of this means & we spend some time speculating about the future of the WWE, and what it means for the product. 

We talk some Royal Rumble and the ad that Matt saw during Monday Night Football with Cody advertised. Will Big E make a return? 

We discuss the Ruby Soho match, the powerbomb and Jungle Hook. Who liked it, who didn't & much more 

We are then joined by the Wild Rhino, Clark Connors. We cover a variety of topics, from his return against Suzuki, being a part of the Historic Crossover show, and Wild Hips in the Super Junior Tournament. Clark shares drunk lost cell phone stories, thoughts on the Karl Fredericks news and much more. It's a really fun talk, and worth checking out. 

Back from a quick break and it's time for Can You Beat That......Matt defends the title against The Captain. Is Matt's reign over, or did the Captain rock the boat? 

We hit on a few notes on AEW Dynamite, Matt is outraged that NXT has a tag team called the Rockers, and Tony no longer is watching MLW or NWA, its all about WOW now. 

It's a must listen to show, remember to rate, review and subscribe.
