Show notes

Everyone seemed to have a good week in the graps. AUNT PAM IS BACK! We talk the injury to Becky Lynch, USA wanting an interim Raw champion, Time Warner Discovery and their cost cutting and parlay it all into a discussion as to whether WWE is serving one too many masters and whether AEW goes with one of them or stays. We also talk AEW hiring more talent relations staff. Then the LAZY RIVER OF WRESTLING CRITICISM: the triple threats on RAW and the ascension of Ciampa; the magic simplicity of Jay Lethal/Orange Cassidy, the Women of NXT having a good week, and MORE. Plus, why weren't there more crying children when the NWO broke up.
