The Shining Wizards

It's Monday Night and you know what that means, another episode from your favorite podcast. 

We are without Tony tonight, so our good friend and fellow podcaster Kevin Rouge from the Year of Pod sits in on 3rd Mic. 

The boys catch up with what they have been up to this weekend, and Matt gets super annoyed as he has to figure out how to play a video from Tony, with the committee's announcement on the next Can You Beat That Challenger. 

After Matt loses his mind, they transition into the return on Dexter Lumas, the direction the WWE is going, College athletes vs Indie talent, and Vince McMahon in NXT. 

We are then joined by The GutterSnake Izzy James ahead of his Texas Bullrope match against Kaun for Pale Pro Wrestling. We talk about the wrestling landscape in Dallas, Jeff Jarrett, his move set, The Misfits, Kiss, & much more. It's a great conversation and an excellent introduction to Izzy James if you are not familiar with him. 

After a quick break the boys talk some AEW Quake at the Lake, and this conversation leads us down a crazy aisle, as we talk Giant Gonzalez, The Yetti, Torito and more. It's really the best example of us just talking about random wrestling stuff. Kevin hit's us with a few things from Impact's Emergence Show before we get to Kevin's Top 5.

The boys are joined by Kyle Hessler, booker and promoter of Pale Pro Wrestling in the Dallas Fort Worth Area. They discuss a variety of topics, the transition from MMA Fighter to Promoter, scouting talent, championship reigns and more. Pale Pro has a show coming up on September 3rd, be sure to check it out.

After Kyle exits, Tony brings up the Sasha Banks photo saga from the weekend. Matt has some off the wall takes, and may even be stretching it with his argument. We get breaking news that Rocky Jones had passed away, so we spend sometime talking about him & ECPW. 

We end up talking about the WWE in a positive light, something we haven't done in a very long time. Kross's return, who should take the title from Roman, HHH already improving the product, Women's Tag Title Tournament and more. Tony hates AEW and the Trios Title, we talk some Quake on the Lake, AEW Fight Forever and some more. We bounce around with some NWA & Impact talk, the Lex Lugar documentary and the news that VICE is brining us a new show based on the territories. 

After Patreon Plugs we jump into this week's Wizards Rewind. Back to August 1997, the ECW Arena, Born to Be Wired. Matt and Tony aren't super excited about the show, and Matt 100% romanticized it since it was his first trip to Philly. After spending a good amount of time talking about the show, and Kevin opening our eyes, the boys decide that it was a pretty good show. We talk a bunch of ECW & it's a great discussion and review.

Monday Night, and You Know What That Means

Another episode of your favorite wrestling podcast

Right from the start, Matt is annoyed at the committee, he want's to challenge for the Can You Beat That Title. We catch up on the week that was for us, Kevin's computer kicked the bucket, Tony & Matt had uneventful weeks. 

This leads us to the latest in the Vince McMahon news. He's paying 4 women much more to keep quiet then he did for the tape libraries of WCW & ECW. This leads us on an interesting conversation, then it turns into to what would you do for 7.5 Million Dollars, and what would you do for 1/2 a mortgage payment. 

From Vince we go to Jordynne Grace and the Chris Benoit tweet. We discuss the tweet, what she implies & cover the apology. It's a conversation that covers it all, and it's something that really makes you think.

We are then joined by the Dominican Destroyer Vargas ahead of his huge match against Brian Myers. We talk Create a Pro/WrestlePro, tag team vs Singles, the New York Jets, and what to expect from him on July 24th and much more. It's a great introduction to Vargas

Back from break we talk a little NWA, Tim Storm, Impact Wrestling, Kushida, Time Splitters, CHAOS, Davey Richards, MLW, and of course the MLW Top 10 before The Can You Beat That Champion Christian Rocco joins us to take on Kevin. 

It's an amazing battle and something you need to listen too.

We dive into his history with Crimson and becoming involved with Tried N True Wrestling, his love for the history of the NWA, and how much he loves the Television title. Plus we learn that Mims used to play Smash Brothers competitively as well. After a short break, the guys cover the NWA and MLW.

It's a great introduction to one of the fastest rising stars in wrestling. 

Tony then joins the show as the fellas gear up to talk Forbidden Door. We cover our picks, and where we stand after the Pay Per View. Matt thinks it's time for Jim Ross to take a step back and points out him calling out the referees during the event. This conversation turns into an all out war between Kevin and Tony, you gotta hear it to believe it. 

After the discussion, we put a bow on the Forbidden Door, talk about our favorite matches, the Shibata moment, Zack Sabre Jr, the 4 Way dance and more.
