We dicuss the firing of a WWE writer for going on a podcast, and Jeff tells you why most of the complaints are incorrect or offbase. Also, Ice Cold Takes (TM) on Hell in A Cell and far too many references to the career of Lindsay Price. Plus an update on 30 days of Bacon.

We give a post-mortem on the Covid era, Chris hated NXT Takeover: In Your House as we give ice cold takes, and after a few things we liked and disliked on the shows of the week go into a Hell in A Cell preview.

Sponsored by MyBookie and Manscaped this week (Use Code ROPES on either). Chris turns 35 so as a present, and is in full grumpy old man mode.

STR 462. Boomer Rants

Budget cuts and reckless speculation on acquisitions and where those who were let go will end up. Was that Adam Cole/Karrion Kross exchange good for either guy? We end with ice cold takes on Double Or Nothing.

STR 461. Braun Gone

Chris' weekend dance cards are starting to fill up so we had to record before the week was up. We get to the revolving door of WWE play by play, John Cena's accidental entry into world affairs, and we give predictions of AEW's Double or Nothing Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/shake-them-ropes-pro-wrestling-podcast-wwe-nxt-njpw/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

STR 458. Who Wronged Bobby Fish

No sponsors, but a show that goes a lot into narrative storytelling. A terrible RAW that did no favor to anyone. The Roman/Uso angle has actual layers, and the narrative issues once AEW Blood and Guts got to the "Match Beyond" where they went for the big ending vs. end of the story. Plus, Lanza and Nov are besties now.

The yearly week after Wrestlemania purge happened: out with the old, in with....nobody yet. Backlash is now Wrestlemania...Backlash. How were the follow-ups? Baffling, especially on Smackdown with the Street Profits. Why is Jack Starz the only pure babyface in the WWE expanded universe? Also why a song in a Sami Zayn video is nightmare fuel for Jeff, and Chris explains Bucks-itis.
