There are shows in this timeline that loudly announce to you the era of WCW you are in, and this is one.

For Dave and Lee this week, the object was to endure rather than review. Nevertheless they bring you their takes on plenty goings on this week:

*The first sighting of the Special Main Event King, and you will not believe who he wrestles

*Three 'musician who is bad' gimmicks on one show!

*The NWO open a casino

*The World Title hits some more unforced speed bumps.

In this action-packed episode of the Mike & JD Show, Mike and JD break down a whirlwind of news as we head into 2025. We went live immediately after Super Bowl LIX, provided quick thoughts on the game and discuss Kendrick Lamar's continuous destoyal of Drake. Then, we dive deep into WWE's massive roster cuts, where several superstars have been released—including Sonya Deville, the Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) with manager Paul Ellering, Blair Davenport, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, Isla Dawn, Cedric Alexander, and The Good Brothers. What do these releases mean for WWE's future and potential main roster call-ups?

We also preview AEW Grand Slam 2025 Australia with insights on match predictions and storyline developments. Plus, we take a moment to spotlight the rising talent of Harley Cameron and discuss why his performance is turning heads in the wrestling world.

One of the ways to win a pro wrestling match is to go for the cover, or pin your opponent's shoulders to the mat for three seconds. It's an essential element of the sport, just as the cover song is an essential part of music. On this episode, Andrew and returning guest Andy LaBarre go for the cover, so to speak, and play a bunch of great cover songs from over the years. Artists played include Charles Bradley, Dolly Parton, D'Angelo, William Shatner, Eddie Hazel, Chris Cornell, The Power Station, Heart, and many more. The songs on this episode may not be originals, but they can still keep you down for the three count.

Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent Partner
