Divas, Dropkicks And Dives

It's a short show this week, as Kevin is about to come down to TX for Texas Frightmare Weekend, as well as Fan Expo Dallas.  But that's not all!  The guys will be taking in a show, as Michael is taking Kev to his first-ever Metroplex Wrestling event!  The guys speculate about CM Punk's motivations in making a surprise appearance at a random indie show, as well as lament how fast WWE has fallen, immediately after WrestleMania. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Kevin runs things solo this week, as Michael was out sick.  So he brought his good buddy, Dallas Cayde, onto the show to help fill in! (Hey, Michael here!  No idea what Kev & Dallas talk about, as Kev sent me the show & I just posted it.  Gonna find out, same way as y'all do.  Hope you're having a great day.  Enjoy!)

Stepstool Sarah comes onto the show to give us her perspective of the Midwest independent wrestling scene!  She gives an idea of what makes St. Louis Anarchy one of the most unique & popular promotions in the region, how she differentiates herself from other ring announcers, and how she spent her crazy WrestleMania weekend!

Who knew being a wrestling fan could be so exhausting!  But it was all worth it, as the insanity that surrounds WrestleMania weekend helps to (hopefully) set the tone for the new "season" of wrestling.  NXT TakeOver: New York nearly stole the show, again, but WrestleMania did not disappoint.  Sure, it was nearly 8 hours long, which probably crosses into "Too much wrestling!" territory, but WWE gave us some incredible moments.  From Kofi Kingston's historic win for the WWE title, to the women's main event, this WrestleMania will be remembered for years to come! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

So hey, there's this small show being put on in New York this weekend.  Who are we kidding?  You know what we're talking about.  It's Wrestlemania!  The granddaddy of them all!  Showcase of the Immortals!  It's time to put aside all the justified grievances against WWE and try & enjoy the show!  The guys talk the entire announced card, as well as NXT TakeOver: New York.  Strap in, folks, cause it's gonna be a big one! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Ben Miller & Walter Fulbright come on the show to recap Space Age Love Song & get us even more hyped for their next show, Rise Above.  They address some "controversy" over booking issues from their last show, acknowledge the support coming in from fans and wrestlers alike, heavily praise their favorite part of Kanza Hall, detail how they were able to book Joey Ryan...and could some AEW folks be showing up with him? #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Fastlane came & went.  It was a relatively safe PPV, storyline wise.  So with very little progression on the Road to WrestleMania this week, the guys take some time to completely cover Journey Pro's announced card for "Rise Above," which both of them will be attending later this month. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Hey, did you know that FastLane was this weekend?  Neither did the guys!  Before they get there, they take some time to honor the memory of King Kong Bundy, share some random Married with Children facts, try not to get worked into a shoot over the peculiar Becky/Ronda Twitter feuding, and try to speed through the FastLane card as quickly as WWE seems to want to get past it, as well! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Everybody seems to be coming back to WWE all at once!  Dave Baustisa, Matt Hardy, Kevin Owens, etc.  But not all is harmonious in the WWE Universe, as Becky Lynch & Ronda Rousey seemed to have worked themselves into a shoot...sister?  Also, the guys talk about Tommy Wiseau, but it's genuinely newsworthy this time!  They swear it. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Elimination Chamber was a pretty solid pay-per-view from WWE.  They missed the mark by not putting the title on Kofi Kingston, even if for a short time.  But the guys try to make the best of it, along with trying to understand the sudden NXT call-ups.  Also, they take some time to celebrate arguably one of Brendan Fraser's best performances ever, the comedy masterpiece, "Airheads." #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #JourneyPro #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Referee Nick Chinn comes on the show to talk about his experiences in the wrestling industry as a referee.  Nick shares his tips on what it takes to dive over the ropes onto wrestlers outside the ring (Please, do not try this at home!), the referees who inspired him to get into the business, working for various promotions throughout the Midwest, where he wants to go from here, and much more! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Journey Pro's Ben Miller & Walter Fulbright return to the show to recap their 1st show, "Like a Rainbow in the Dark," and hype up their next event on 2/21, "Space Age Love Song!"  They discuss how AEW's emergence is actually helping them secure talent for their shows, and also tease a little bit about what's in store for their next event! Make sure & check them out at journeyprokc.com! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #Wrestling #ProWrestling

You would think that the Royal Rumble & TakeOver: Phoenix would have been plenty of news for this week, but that wasn't all of it!  Dean Ambrose & Hideo Itami are saying goodbye to the WWE Universe.  Kenta is probably headed to Japan, but AEW is a possible landing spot for either of them.  And oh yeah, one of the biggest events on the WWE calendar happened, as well!  Could intergender wrestling be creeping back into WWE's lexicon? #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Remember WWE?  Don't worry, Michael & Kevin reminded themselves that Vince & company could still put on a show.  This weekend is the start of the Road to WrestleMania 2019!  The guys cover all the announced matches for NXT TakeOver: Phoenix, as well as the Royal Rumble itself.  There's also lots of obnoxious sounds to look forward to after the end-of-show outro rolls. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #Wrestling #ProWrestling

The guys are joined by Sarah the Rebel (@SarahTheRebel).  An accomplished author, Sarah tells her story of starting in the gaming/PR industry, writing for Marvel (as well as her own books,) and taking those experiences into the wrestling world.  The manager & girlfriend of Tyler Bateman, she also informs about her training at the Santino Bros. Wrestling Academy, being the only woman in her class at the New Japan Dojo, making her own way onto the brand new season of WOW Superheroes! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #Wrestling #ProWrestling

All Elite Wrestling has their official unveiling press conference/rally, right down the street from where Smackdown is taking place, this week.  We cover all the news, the announcements, and how WWE is taking the news (Spoiler: They're being pretty petty about it).  Michael briefly (due to his voice starting to give out) covers the recent DCW/Sabotage Wrestling "War of the Genders III" show he attended. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #Wrestling #ProWrestling

The worst kept secret in wrestling is finally out of the bag!  Cody Rhodes & the Young Bucks have officially unveiled their own promotion, All Elite Wrestling!  The guys also take the time to honor the passing of Mean Gene Okerlund, easily the greatest interviewer & announcer in profession wrestling history! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #AEW #Wrestling #ProWrestling

It's the end of the year!!  Michael is ill, so that's why he sounds so terrible.  The guys answer some fan questions, do some fantasy booking, and look forward to a potentially historic year of wrestling in 2019! #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling #ProWrestling

A young up & coming stud wrestling here in the Midwest, Dallas Cayde joins the show to share his unique story of discovering wrestling a little differently than most, his training & development through and up to the end of NWL, the culture shock that followed NWL's demise, and how everything he had experienced led to his recent match at the Journey Pro debut show!  There's also a brief cameo from Dallas's #2 fan, behind Kevin who is #1, of course. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #ROH #Wrestling #ProWrestling

This week's show is entirely dedicated to Kevin's recap of Journey Pro's first ever show, "Like a Rainbow in the Dark."  And it was an incredibly stellar show, at that!
