This week, Work Of Wrestling host Tim Kail doesn't review Elimination Chamber.

Instead, he reacts to the comments on his Facebook post about skipping this year's Chamber. Tim discusses the blandness of modern WWE, the consistency of AEW Dynamite, why he's becoming more choosey with how he spends his time and money, and why the consolidation of money and power in the world makes him uneasy about the future.

He recommends the classic film Network. You can rent it on Amazon Prime Video.

Tim and J.J. discuss how this project came to be, J.J.'s writing practice, the most surprising piece of research they found, interviewing Kevin and Sami for the book, chronicling the history of these two modernday folk heroes, Kevin and Sami's legendary obsession with detail, their ability to weave macro and micro narratives into their matches, how the Montreal Screwjob is like their comic book characters' childhood trauma, and their small acts of kindness, revealing two genuinely good people.
