As promised in this episode, here is that collection of NXT Promotional Skills videos.

If you're watching NXT and enjoy the roster, definitely check these out. Bayley, Paige, Enzo and Tyler really knock these out of the park.

The "Cena coming back and saving the day" thing is really the depressing thing about the WWE's current situation. What they have going right now is really great but how does it end anyway other then Bryan taking a beating from The Shield for the 20th consecutive week when all of a sudden...BRRRR APPLE DOUGH!

Can they just pay Goldberg a massive, lump sum to just make a cameo on RAW where he spears Ryback into the unemployment line? Also, he needs to give RVD his tights back.

Also, I thought around the early to 2000s that the WWE gave a damn about tag team matches. The stuff with Edge and Christian, The Hardy Boyz, and the Dudleyz was pretty great. I also like several of the tag teams that Kane has been a part of.

About how WWE feels about their tag teams, back when Brian Kendrick(aka THE Brian Kendrick) and Paul London were in WWE as a tag team, they took a tour of the WWE headquarters building. Inside there was framed pictures of WWE wrestlers on the walls, past and present, but there was no tag teams. So Kendrick asked Shane McMahon "What does a tag team have to do to get a picture on the wall here?" To which Shane replied, "Well not since the Legion Of Doom have I cared about a single tag team." Kendrick: "Well fuck."

Agreed on Stephanie's performance as of late. I really don't like her whenever she's on, and it's at the point where I can't believe she's anything other than that character in real life. Nevermind if HHH is a better Vince, I think Stephanie is a better Vince.

I would love Daniel Bryan vs. Punk at Wrestlemania for the title. Punk is an awesome face(ESPECIALLY in Chicago), but he's so much better as a heel and always has been. Heel Punk vs. face Bryan would absolutely rule. Back in their indy days, Bryan was known as the "Best In The World" and Punk took that for himself once he got to the WWE first, so I could see that maybe being brought up in their feud.

Loved all the extra details about that Summerslam weekend. This episode was awesome, another job well done Alex!

Oh I forgot about the D-Lo Brown stuff. I became a fan of his after his matches with A.J. Styles in TNA back in 2003. One of the biggest spots ever in TNA's early days was when he did the Lo Down off a ladder that was in the ring onto A.J. who was on a table outside the ring.

Sorry if it's just me - this podcast wasn't showing up in my iPhone podcast feed, so I removed the subscription and then clicked on the RSS link above. It tries to add it to the podcast app again, but then says that www.giantbomb.com/podcast-xml/premium is not a valid podcast...

It is really weird (sort of shitty/cringey) listening to people who don't watch much wrestling talk about wrestling for an hour and a half.

I find myself disagreeing with basically all of their opinions, minus some of Alex's. Oh well, still funny at some parts.
