Hey, we're back!  After going dark for a couple of weeks, Michael explains what is going on with him, how this temporarily affects the show, and were things are going from here.  The guys do get some wrestling talk in, as well! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Special: Michael's Medical Update

This is it!  This is the week where everything changes!  AEW is set to start Dynamite, and Smackdown is making its move to Fox.  Everyone is about to find out their personal limits as to how much wrestling they can consume.  But before all that, Kevin recaps his night at Journey Pro's "Almost Famous" show (where he was nearly murdered by a shoe), and he also asks the ultimate question...is wrestling anime? #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Episode 155: And Here We Go!

The guys are once again joined by Journey Pro's Walter Fulbright (@youshotthefood) to hype up their upcoming show, "Almost Famous."  The card is stacked from pre-show to the main event!  But everyone also takes the time to discuss the booming energy drink boom spreading throughout independent wrestling, praise the almighty Kansas City barbeque, and lay the foundation for the greatest wrestler entrance Journey Pro could ever have!!! http://www.journeyprokc.com #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Special: Journey Pro - Almost Famous

Kevin is back!  Tell a friend!  Kevin regales us with his experience at St. Louis Anarchy's "Battle for Spaulding" event, main-evented by Warhorse vs. Nick Gage.  The guys discuss NXT making it's primetime debut on the USA Network (well...the 1st half of it, anyways).  How do we feel about the upcoming Wednesday Night Wars?!? #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Episode 154: Calm Before the Storm

Michael is on his own this week, as Kevin is out-of-town.  So Michael makes it a short one by quickly recapping some of the crazier news over the past couple of weeks, namely Chris Jericho physically losing the AEW title belt for a couple of days, Session Moth Martina signing with ROH, and an announced upcoming WWE Draft. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Episode 153: Solo Sesh

August 31st, 2019, will go down as one of the craziest days in wrestling history!  Everyone was running a show.  New Japan had "Royal Quest" over in Wales, NXT UK was running a TakeOver in London, England.  And the biggest event of the weekend was taking place in Chicago, IL, as AEW was running their final PPV event before their weekly television show starts.  All Out was a fantastic event, from beginning to end, and the guys are here to give their best recap of how it went down!  Well...what parts of it Kevin can remember, anyways... #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Episode 152: All Out of Energy

Journey Pro's Walter Fulbright (@youshotthefood) joins us again to hype up their next event, "Under Pressure."  The guys ask for some insight on JP's talent evaluation process, promoting inclusivity amongst their audience, and how fast everyone on the indies is getting snatched up! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Special: Journey Pro - Under Pressure

After a mental health break of taking the week off, the guys return to lightly recap TakeOver: Toronto & SummerSlam (What little of it they were able to watch.  Thanks Internet!).  They also talk some potential changes to where exactly you will be able to watch NXT, the incoming storm of wrestling content, and much more! Shoutout to Warhorse (@JPWarHorse) for the promo we used in our intro! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Episode 151: Canadian Destroyer Porn

Christian Rose (@BitterLunatic) cracks open a few and spends a Friday night hanging out with the fellas!  He shares with us his perspective on storytelling in wrestling, gives his insight on his recent Journey Pro feud with Shotzi Blackheart, what makes St. Louis Anarchy so special, his life threatening & altering health scare, which animated character's quote has inspired his wrestling career, and much more!  Just don't go looking for his Instagram anytime soon. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Special: Christian Rose

We finally have a start date for AEW's show on TNT!!  Kevin recaps attending Journey Pro's "Cruel Summer" show, while Michael talks getting to see Leva Bates one more time at MPX Wrestling's "Survive the Night" show.  They also say goodbye to WrestleCircus, who shut down unexpectedly this past week. There was some thought about making this week's description more goofy, but I'm not gonna do that to you! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Episode 150: I'm Not Gonna Do That to You!

Journey Pro's Walter Fulbright (@youshotthefood) joins the show and waxes poetic about the upcoming "Cruel Summer" show!  The entire card is covered, along with some exciting announcements regarding the future of Journey Pro, and their plans for global domination!!!  They've certainly got Kansas City covered, to start. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Special: Journey Pro - Cruel Summer

As a last minute surprise, a listener gave Michael an extra set of tickets to New Japan's G1 Climax 29 opening night event in Dallas!  Between attending a VIP Wrestling show on Friday night (featuring Colt Cabana & Joey Ryan) & attending the G1, this episode is pretty Michael-heavy, with him detailing his perspective of seeing New Japan Pro Wrestling live for the very 1st time!  #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #NJPW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Episode 149: G1 Hell of a Weekend

So Michael & Kevin owe everyone a huge apology, as there was no show last week, along with no announcement about it.  Life happened, unlike anything in wrestling...until the day before they recorded this episode.  The guys cover the surprise promotion/announcement that Paul Heyman & Eric Bischoff are becoming Executive Directors for Raw & SmackDown, respectively.  They also discuss Seth Rollins going on the social media offensive on behalf of WWE, and dread the impending toxicity to come from this AEW/WWE "war." #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Episode 148: Yeah...About Last Week...

It was an incredibly quiet week, as far as wrestling news is concerned.  WWE was coming off of Super Showdown, which no one cared about (aside from Goldberg & Undertaker nearly accidentally killing each other, several times).  There was a follow-up to the Ring of Honor fan interaction story...and that's pretty much it! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Episode 147: A Quiet Place

If an NXT TakeOver airs, but Michael & Kevin didn't watch it...did it actually happen?  Well, of course it did, and of course they watched it.  Some of it, anyways.  The guys are surprised by an unexpected (to them) TakeOver.  They also discuss a scary fan interaction at a Ring of Honor live event, and share an update on the health situation for one of Journey Pro's owners.
