Wrestling With My Girl

After a brief "abstain-ia" we return with another chat about WrestleManias, this time covering 24 from Orlando, FL. There were some pretty good matches and some pretty not good matches. Recommendations: Flair/HBK, MITB, and UT/Edge.

We're back with episode 67 of WWMG covering the hefty Survivor Series 2017 weekend of WWE programming. 

TakeOver War Games was a helluva show with an outstanding Aleister Black/Velveteen Dream match and an all out brawl in the main event. 

Survivor Series continued the trend of WWE's stuffy big four "PPVs" going over 5! hours including the preshow. The effort was there and there were definitely some great matches including: opening tag, Lesnar/AJ (MOTN), Bar/Usos but was it enough? Will HHH have to face one pissed off Braun Strowman in the coming weeks? Sara hopes so.

After the recent releases of talent in WWE, we decided to go back and watch the Emma vs Paige NXT Arrival match from 2014. This is often brought up as a catalyst for the women's revolution in WWE. CJ also added in a couple other Emma/Paige matches for comparison.

After the break we take a look at WWE's original Hell In A Cell match between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels. Does it hold up? Why do most people say it's the best ever?

In episode 64 Sara and CJ discuss WWE RAW's network "special" TLC. Asuka made her debut and generated a lot of avoidable buzz, Finn & AJ stole the show (duh!), mid-carders spin their wheels, and the main event TLC match was definitely "something." We also bring in the follow up of RAW the night after and ask, "What are you doing?"

Taking a break from WWE, Sara and CJ run through Major League Wrestling's One-Shot special. Riccochet and Shane Strickland tore the house down (surprise!) but also threw in a few twists against expectations. MVP and Sami Callihan punished each other while Mia Yim went "bad" against Santana Garret. Plus, we get introduced to Maxwell Jacob Friedman--just get him a mic.

For episode 62 Sara and CJ discuss WWE's Hell In A Cell 2017. The stipulation should definitely not be a themed show but nonetheless it was bookended by two good matches featuring Usos/New Day and Kevin Owens/Shane McMahon. Chad Gable is gold and did we just see the ska-king Sami Zayn turn on his heel? Also, where's the BLOOD?

We're back from break talking No Mercy 2017. How did the RAW brand network special(ish) fair? What was our favorite match? We also talk about the 9/27/17 NXT and some genral bits and bobs as we catch up on recent WWE programming.

For episode 60 Sara and CJ run through the remaining and final episodes of the Mae Young Classic. We cover the second round, quarters, semis woah that's a lot! There were definitely some great matches througout the tourney and the finale delivered as well. Apologies ahead of time for the sniffling during the first half of the show--I cut most out but a little lingering cold worked its way into the show.

For episode 59 Sara and CJ run through the first round of the Mae Young Classic. We do talk about winners and losers so **SPOILER ALERT** Watch the show on the network or online first unless it doesn't bother you. 

Match standouts from the first round include: Abbey Laith/Jazzy Gabert, Mia Yim/Sarah Logan, Piper Niven/Santana Garret, and Kairi Sane/Tessa Blanchard. If you like those sorta things, we even have a pin/submission/rollup counter--nerds!
