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.

Just in time for tonight's No Mercy, Kyle and Alasdair weigh in on the card. We're so, so ready for Lesnar-Strowman and Cena-Reigns, but we've also been weirdly run over by all things Jason Jordan, though maybe that's just a continued tribute to the Miz. And Alasdair seriously wants nothing more than Neville to hit the Empire Elbow on Enzo. All that plus we kind of have no choice but to look at Jinder Mahal's horrendous, racist promo. We get back on track by answering some of your great questions, so thanks for sustaining us in these trying times!

Alasdair and Kyle talk about Hell in a Cell, which we pretty much just confine to those two Hell in a Cell matches, because (with apologies to that triple threat, maybe) what else is there really to talk about? We consider the future of the tag team division and the New Day's place in it (or elsewhere?), along with plenty of discussion of one Mr. Sami Zayn. We then talk all about the Shield reuniting and the absolute mind-melting 4-on-3 TLC match we're headed toward. Plus we consider the state of the women's divisions and why they so frequently feel like a mess. And then we chase it all with lots of well-deserved praise for the perfection that is NXT right now.
