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

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

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...

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

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.

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...

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

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

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...

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

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

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

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...

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

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. DJ's Gofundme page can be found here: https://www.gofundme.com/6142io0 #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW...

Both guys entered the weekend with high hopes for attending their particular live shows, and both left gravely disappointed (for different reasons).  Michael did enjoy his Sabotage Wrestling show in Austin, albeit missing the main reason he made the 4+ hour drive.  Kevin, however, went to Raw & sat there for almost an hour before the 1st match even occurred! The guys to take the time to cover AEW's 1st ever pay-per-view event, Double or Nothing, which happened in-between their wrestling...

Are you f^&king kidding us with this?!?  An incredibly, almost unprecedentedly, talented roster, a pretty solid showing up to this point, and Brock f^&king Lesnar wins Money in the Bank?!?  F^&k that s#*t! How about they talk about AEW's 1st pay-per-view event, Double or Nothing, happening this Saturday!  The guys cover the entire card, some last minute match cancellations, and Kevin briefly discusses "adult stuff."  #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling...

Not paying close attention to WWE means the PPVs sneak up on you something fierce!  The guys had no idea that Money in the Bank was this weekend, but that didn't stop them from going over the card anyways.  They also have a lengthy discussion about a story of frustration within WWE (Surprise there, amirite?), show some support for Journey Pro's ownership team having a medical emergency, the announcement of AEW's long-rumored TV deal, and a lot of loud opinions from dogs (which are relegated...

Kevin made the trip down to Dallas for Fan Expo Dallas & Texas Frightmare Weekend.  While here, Michael took advantage of the opportunity to show Kev some of what Texas wrestling is all about!  While Kev wasn't able to attend the VIP Wrestling show, the both of them did go to Metroplex Wrestling's event. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Walter was unable to join the show, so Ben brings fellow Journey Pro co-owner DJ Stewart to fill his spot.  The guys recap their experience from "Rise Above," and Ben & DJ get everyone hyped for "A Means to an End!"  There are also amazing & terrible takes about fast food burger joints (Don't listen to Ben)! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

It's a short show this week, as Kevin is about to come down to TX for Texas Frightmare Weekend, as well as Fan Expo Dallas.  But that's not all!  The guys will be taking in a show, as Michael is taking Kev to his first-ever Metroplex Wrestling event!  The guys speculate about CM Punk's motivations in making a surprise appearance at a random indie show, as well as lament how fast WWE has fallen, immediately after WrestleMania. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling...

Kevin runs things solo this week, as Michael was out sick.  So he brought his good buddy, Dallas Cayde, onto the show to help fill in! (Hey, Michael here!  No idea what Kev & Dallas talk about, as Kev sent me the show & I just posted it.  Gonna find out, same way as y'all do.  Hope you're having a great day.  Enjoy!)

Stepstool Sarah comes onto the show to give us her perspective of the Midwest independent wrestling scene!  She gives an idea of what makes St. Louis Anarchy one of the most unique & popular promotions in the region, how she differentiates herself from other ring announcers, and how she spent her crazy WrestleMania weekend!

Who knew being a wrestling fan could be so exhausting!  But it was all worth it, as the insanity that surrounds WrestleMania weekend helps to (hopefully) set the tone for the new "season" of wrestling.  NXT TakeOver: New York nearly stole the show, again, but WrestleMania did not disappoint.  Sure, it was nearly 8 hours long, which probably crosses into "Too much wrestling!" territory, but WWE gave us some incredible moments.  From Kofi Kingston's historic win for the WWE title, to the...
