Zone-casts: Heel Turn

It’s White Claw Wednesday. You know what that means. It’s time for an all new episode of wrestling’s most PLUR podcast! Join QVC for Wrestling hosts Trace, Oscar and John as they give their final thoughts on AEW Revolution; run down the week in horrible new wrestler tattoos; freak out over the return of Jake “The Snake” Roberts and Darby Allin’s fantastic handicap match; ponder free agent Matt Hardy’s future; and delve into the very inappropriate implications of a “death triangle.”

Owen is temporarily deceased after PAX East, so John goes it alone. With the help of the live chat, he goes over what happened in the WWE in the past week. This unfortunately includes Super ShowDown.

Settle in for the long haul, because Trace and John are breaking past all TAICHI Timer limits this week to give a full rundown of AEW’s Revolution PPV; get extremely hyped about Lance Archer’s signing; lose their minds over Kenny Omega and PAC’s Iron Man Match; contemplate the continued lack of direction for many of NXT’s top stars; compare Charlotte Flair to Bret Hart; and imagine what the world will be like when Ilhan Omar gets her Gundam.

Patreon-exclusive show notes:

The roadbump to Elimination Chamber is this Thursday, so Owen and John recap the go-home episodes of SmackDown and Raw, as well as give their predictions for the card. Plus they discuss the Bellas entering the WWE Hall of Fame and the most EVIL wedding of all time.

Playwright and “Is It Transphobic?” podcast host Ashley Rogers joins Trace, Oscar and John to discuss the confluence of professional wrestling and theater, as well as Cody vs. Wardlow in a Steel Cage; Keith Lee vs. Dominick Dijakovic, Pt. 87; and the dark union of Sonic the Hedgehog and NASCAR.

John and Oscar are two philistines who don’t follow “real wrestling” like New Japan Pro Wrestling. Now they are doing a relationship advice podcast for some reason. Celebrate Valentine’s Day with PW.C’s resident fools as they answer various relationship questions from Reddit and give better advice than certain other transphobic syndicated relationship columnists! (But seriously, though: y’all should talk to an actual licensed couples therapist. We try, but we’re still idiots.)

With no Trace to keep things on the rails, John and Oscar cover this week’s episodes of AEW Dynamite and NXT; contemplate the crimes of Teddy Hart while diving into what is almost assuredly his very sad Reddit account (or a troll with way too much free time on their hands); and try to come up with the ultimate Sting drag routine.

Financial “experts” O$car and Big Money John break down WWE’s investor call for their fourth-quarter 2019 earnings, and take stock of the company’s plans for the future to help you determine whether you should buy or sell. (Spoilers: don’t buy.)
