Kyle takes time out of a busy Canadian Thanksgiving weekend to talk wrestling with Alasdair. We consider the joys of JeriKO vs the New Day and the future of Raw's women's division, even as we express our trepidations about the newly rebranded Emmalina. We look ahead to No Mercy and wonder just who might be able to take on the Miz if indeed he retires Dolph Ziggler tomorrow night. Then we do a little bracketology with NXT's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament, and Austin Aries comes out of this looking very good. Finally, Alasdair offers another indie show review with his account of Beyond Wrestling's Midas Touch show, which he was a part of for like five seconds!

Alasdair and Kyle are amped this week after one of the best weeks in wrestling in ages. We go 30 minutes on the glory that was Styles-Ellsworth II on SmackDown Live and then another 30 minutes on Bill Goldberg's amazing return to Raw. We break down just what about those two epic main events made them so special, particularly in terms of the stories being told. (Which, you know, is kind of the point of this podcast, if we're getting all technical about it.) This ought to be a good one!

We look ahead to Money in the Bank and try to figure out what holding the briefcase means when Jinder Mahal is champion. These times remain exquisitely weird. A listener managed to leave us a comment through the Wordpress site where we host these podcasts, which we didn't even realize was possible, and Alasdair wastes some amazingly British turns of phrase by reading it in his coarse American accent. Plus we take some Twitter questions on what to do with Rusev, how to deal with so much wrestling content out there, and what new kinds of stories WWE could be looking to tell.

We were too busy to get in a podcast last week, but we're back! Alasdair and Kyle take a look at the baffling storytelling of the Braun-Brock match at No Mercy, then move on as swiftly as WWE has. We take a look at most of the non-Jinder stuff to be excited about from Hell in a Cell. Alasdair goes fully mental with a ringing endorsement of 205 Live, and Kyle finds himself in worrying levels of agreement. Then there's some Canadian Thanksgiving discussion, where Alasdair keeps emphasizing the "Canadian" part to the point of mild violence against Kyle.

With Kyle busy on a special project, Alasdair podcasts with a broomstick for a ridiculous 42 minutes of solo talking on Clash of Champions. He breaks down the title matches, including a lengthy discussion of the SmackDown women's division, whether Baron Corbin can continue his streak of shockingly good triple threat matches, how pretty much all the teams in the tag title match feel like fleshed-out people beyond how they function as faces or heels, and just what the story is with the Yep Movement and the show's authority figures. Also, let's just take a moment and recognize the brilliance of Roman Reigns and Cesaro. Don't worry, Kyle will be back soon.

Alasdair and Kyle are here to answer your questions as we continue on the Road to the Road to Wrestlemania, otherwise known as the build to the Royal Rumble. But first, we discuss the all-over brilliance of Jason Jordan, the most wonderfully annoying wannabe in WWE, and the incredible coolness of the Balor Club. We're asked to pay our respects to the Miztourage, all-time great stable. We debate who should win the inaugural Women's Royal Rumble. We wonder what Braun Strowman could do at WrestleMania if he's not involved with the Universal Championship. And we look at the women of NXT and who has us most excited about their potential.

Alasdair and Kyle are recovered from the incredible, emotionally exhausting draining experience of going to NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia! We have some spoiler-free praise for the pre-show matches set to air on next Wednesday's show that feature Roderick Strong, Tyler Bate, TM-61, and more. We then break down a card that has some all-time great stuff and some wonky stuff, with more of the latter early on. We look at how injuries affected the storytelling in the tag and women's title matches. We praise Velveteen Dream and his limitless potential, even if he still has things to figure out (which, you know, he's 23 years old, so that's fine). And then we have nothing but praise for Aleister Black and Adam Cole, which would be the match of the night if not for Andrade "Cien" Almas and Johnny Gargano melting our minds and our hearts with pure wrestling perfection.

It's Fastlane time! And... Alasdair and Kyle try to bring their trademark positivity and optimism to this, but even we have our limits. We discuss just why this whole main event feels like such a mess, throw out an alternative or two, and then try to drag ourselves away from Sunday's action as soon as possible. We talk NXT and future callups, and Alasdair checks in with a report from last weekend's Manhattan Mayhem event from Ring of Honor!

It's SummerSlam week! And, more importantly, it's "What the hell is going on with Baron Corbin?" week! We look at Tuesday's failed cash-in from every possible storytelling angle we can figure, as we try to work out what the Lone Wolf has to offer after this insane development. In happier news, we take a look at this weekend's activities, with a particular focus on the truly excellent NXT Takeover card. Plus we consider when Carmella should cash in and what a return to the Attitude Era would mean for modern-day WWE!
