On this episode of the Very Cold Lasagna Podcast, Dylan returns from break for a trip back down to The Old Icebox with a retro review of the 2005 WWE Vengeance PPV. Taking place 20 years ago, this RAW-exclusive PPV was on the tailend of a historically significant Draft Lottery, and as such, it featured the beginning and end of a number of grudge feuds that lasted for multiple months. One of those feuds involved Batista and Triple H, both whom took their rivalry into one last battle for the World Heavyweight Title inside the infamous Hell in a Cell. Also taking place was John Cena's first WWE Championship defense after being drafted to RAW, taking on Chris Jericho and Christian, a highly-anticipated WrestleMania rematch between Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle, and more in this retro review of WWE Vengeance 2005!

That big gamble being to have his 2 new top guys John Cena and Batista swap shows, with Cena going to RAW and Batista going to Smackdown.Dylan looks back on how much that risk paid off for Vince, Cena, and Batista, while also looking at the other moves of what ended up being a major WWE Draft both on-and-off-screen in the short and long-term. All of this and more in this casual retrospective of the 2005 WWE Draft Lottery!

On this episode of the Very Cold Lasagna Podcast, Dylan evaluates how the San Francisco 49ers are currently doing in their 2025 offseason. One week removed from the NFL Draft, what have been the moves (or the lack thereof) that the duo of Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch have made since the team's 2024 season ended? Have those said moves instilled enough confidence in the "49er Faithful" with 3 months to go until preseason action. Did the 49ers finally give starting quarterback Brock Purdy the contract extension and for how much? Dylan tries to answer all the pressing questions and analyze their offseason in a Filthy Casual Check-In of the San Francisco 49ers.

On this episode of the Very Cold Lasagna Podcast, Dylan reacts to the fallout of WWE's first week post-WrestleMania 41.
