The Powerbombcast Episode 18 - Dario Cueto Has a Temple

Flying in the face of self-preservation, the Powerbombcast returns! Alex, Dan, Jeff, Giancarlo, and newcomer Austin talk about what they've been watching this summer, gird our respective loins for four hours of Summerslam, and spend a little time paying tribute to Lucha Underground's terrific first (and hopefully not last) season.

I feel like you finally made good on that Twitter handle since you joined Giant Bomb, @austin_walker.

'Twas the night before the Slam of Summer, and the Powerbombcast returned from the grave.

Hell yes. Since the last episode, I became a full-on wrestling fan again (mainly because of this stupid podcast).

And then you guys disappeared! It's like you farted in my room and walked away.

I also like to think that Lana's accent is due to nanomachines.

I love how these things always start with everyone excited, then as the podcast goes on, everyone gets more and more depressed about wrestling.

I do not normally watch wrestling but I am signing up for the WWE Network on my Apple TV to watch this match. Absolutely love Arrow and Stephen Amell!

Yep, same here, can't wait to see how he does,

You guys are spot-on about the Divas stuff. They gutted the amazing women's division in NXT, which is fine 'cause I absolutely want to see them succeed at the highest level, but they immediately presented them within the most nothing storyline. The whole program around them honestly feels like they're stalling for time so that Nikki can break AJ's Divas title reign record that nobody cares about, just to satisfy whatever petty vendetta they're still obsessing over backstage.

I mean, I'm happy that they're getting two matches on Raw, and that they're being allowed to go for ten minutes or thereabouts, but there's just no guarantee that these ladies that they brought up from NXT that can wrestle better than just about every last woman on the main roster with very few exceptions won't just be relegated back to the same old throwaway five minute cooldown match bullshit that conditioned the crowds into equating a Divas match with a bathroom break opportunity.

Yeah, the Divas stuff continues to be embarrassing. It's not like WWE has had a good Divas division in a while, but seeing the women's division in NXT really made it stand out how fucking terrible the Divas division really is. Hope it gets better.

Lucha Underground is still the best.

Also I'm super glad you guys are finally back on this. With Austin, too! <3

EDIT: The "Red Arrows" are the aerobatics and stunt display division of the British RAF (air force). It's actually a perfect name that encapsulates everything about that move, though I'm sure the nuance is lost on the majority of the audience who won't be familiar with a specific regional reference.

Lol clear no one watches smackdown when they talk about the USOs and no one knows one of them has basically been commentary for months. Not that I blame them for avoiding smackdown.
