Wrestle Buddies

WWE and Mattel have cooked up some pretty cool exclusives for this year's San Diego Comic-Con and, of course, Chris and Mat just have to talk about them. Why? Because they're nerds. And because the Sgt. Slaughter one is so cool. We also discuss what seeing wrestling with live crowds is like after all this time.

It's special episode time! Chris is flying solo this week to talk to WWE's own Johnny Gargano. Johnny Wrestling, as he's legally known in 14 states, is fighting for the NXT Championship against Karrion Kross this week and he has a lot to say about it. We also chat about building The Way, his love for Austin Theory, wanting to visit Avengers Campus at Disneyland, and if he still hates wheels (he does, but it's complicated). Make sure to check out NXT this week and join us in cheering Johnny on to the gold.

We all love Impact Wrestling, right? Well, it didn't start so great. This week, we go back to 2002 and watch the first-ever episode of TNA Wrestling, back when it was a weekly pay preview. Get ready for bad gimmicks, so much Jeff Jarrett, and a heel R-Truth.

WWE did another round of roster cuts with some of our favorite being released from the company. It seems only fitting that Mat and Chris (and Predictionbot 3000) talk about those who were released and spend a long time explaining the greatness of Tyler Breeze.

This week, Chris and Mat welcome DC Comics writer Joshua Williamson (The Flash, Robin, Infinite Frontier) to talk about the best and weirdest match ever, Invisible Man vs. Invisible Stan in GCW. That's right, two invisible people. Get ready for a discussion that jumps around the entire wrestling industry, though, because all three of us have a lot to say about the best and worst wrestling around.
