08/05/21 • 82 min

This week on the show we talk about the latest news in the wrestling world, including some significant WWE releases. We also take some time to chat bout the fact that AEW actually aired a legit deathmatch on cable television! Say what you will, but Nick Gage vs. Chris Jericho was a big deal. We also hop in the way back machine to revisit SummerSlam 1997 and the Raw that followed it. This two day span was most notable for Stone Cold Steve Austin suffering a broken neck, and The Hitman capturing his 5th WWF Heavyweight Championship. Tons of other stuff is covered. Thanks for listening, and feel free to reach out with some feedback!
