Head Trauma, a World's End, and a New Year
It's episode 106! The trio is flying as a duo on this end of year episode of the pod. Jason Hilton is out for a night of debauchery, so fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it) "Legendary" luchador Gringo Fantastico is at the helm along with the always hilarious Kenny Romero to keep him grounded. The guys discuss this past Saturday's AEW World's End PPV, what the future holds for WWE, Joe Hendry's hopeful escape from joke booking bubble, and how you will now have to deal with YouTube's ads and BS to get your classic WWE content. After a scary bump by Kyle Fletcher at World's End, the guys touch on the head trauma debate that has been brought to the forefront by many wrestlers on social media after a heartfelt and concerned tweet from William Regal.

Shifting Into Full Gear for WarGames

"Why are we still seeing Nikki Bella on our television?," "Why are we watching Hangman and Samoa Joe AGAIN?," and "Why are having huge secret entrants into the John Cena's 'Last Time is Now' tournament just to have them job out to people with the subquestion of why aren't they using their current personas?"

Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico are here to fantasy book Wargames and the John Cena Tournament of Champions (That's what it's called right?).

The trio discusses the Women's PWI 250 and why it's not even close to being reasonable as well as the weird move by a former WWE talent with their AEW endeavors.

100 Episodes of Hijinks!
It's Episode 100 (obviously) and the hijinks are at the forefront. The trio bring you their takes from Saturday Night's Main Event and Monday Night Raw! The John Cena Last Time is Now or whatever it's called tournament has been announced and there's speculation all around about the match ups and who might show up! Fantastico is concerned about the lack of booking announcements for Survivor Series: Wargames. The Wyatt Sicks and the MFTs are at the fore front for the Men's Wargames, but is there enough excitement for it? The guys bring their lists for the Top 10 wrestling movies of all time! It's fun. It's ridiculous. It's what you'd expect after listening to 100 episodes.

Saturday Night's Main Event Jey Uso? or CM Punk?
Kenny Romero and "Legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico are flying sans Jason "Turtleneck" Hilton on this informative episode that stays light on the hijinks, hard hitting on the headlines, and heavier on the headlocks. WWE uses Aleister Black and Zelina Vega (not their fault) to give Karrion Kross one hell of a shoot middle finger. There has to be specific victors at this Saturday Night's Main Event to inject life into current WWE narratives. The duo talks about the past 7 days of wrestling and speculates about possible War Games scenarios. Gringo lays down an interesting Chris Jericho return scenario. We love you Mike Rotunda and rest in piece Sir Mo, Bobby Horne.

TK-NO!
Kenny Romero, Jason "Turtleneck" Hilton, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico are back for another "fun" filled episode. TKO has priced out the fans. WWE's booking is like watching a sloth chase a dumpster fire down a hill filled with potholes. AEW is trying, but they have their own problems. Fantastico's solution. Talk about something else other than wrestling. Unfortunately, they can't do that as much as he'd like. Maybe next week will be better after the 8am ET, $30 a month Crown Jewel PPV which has no match with any stakes or point (aside from the Kabuki Warriors vs Iyo and Rhea... so she can perform in Australia.) Ugh! When is this s**t going to get any better? #WeStillWantKross, but at least NXT and TNA are somewhat interesting.

Predict-a-palooza!
It's time for another dual promotion, dual PPV (or PLE) weekend! AEW All Out happens just a few hours before WWE's pop up PLE with the terrible name (although it was taken from ECW) Wrestlepalooza. Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and "Legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico are here to break down both cards and also talk about a bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with anything... and they throw some headlines in there as well. Will AEW's, more than likely, ultra violent PPV stand up to WWE's counter-programming. I guess we're gonna find out!

Episode 88 - Punching Jellyroll and the Human Response
Oh Boy! Summerslam happened for two very long nights. We had a cash-in from a fake injury, a return no one really asked for or wanted, balls that were dropped (Not like that, don't be gross!), numerous identical spots, a zip-tie malfunction, bad camera angles, celebrity beatings, post event denial and failed redirection, and Cardi B being the only person near or around WWE that doesn't enjoy breaking Kayfabe. Was Summerslam good? Some of it! Find out what we liked and what we loathed on the new Post Summerslam episode of the pod!
