The AEW Double or Nothing card continues to take shape. Tyler and Mike discuss their complicated feelings surrounding Swerve Strickland’s historic reign, Willow Nightingale versus Mercedes Moné, and The Elite’s nefarious ways.
Also, it’s the 20th anniversary of the Detroit Pistons winning an NBA Championship. This year’s New York Knicks are showing familiar grit. Mike shares his thoughts on the comparison, Jalen Brunson’s stratospheric ascension, and the vibe around Gotham City ahead of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
