From there we have some Halloween Havoc in the history too and talk about the latest offering from NXT as well as a ton of other stuff. On our Smackdown timeline we are building towards the 2001 Survivor Series. The teams have been set in the battle for brand supremacy, but things are looking dire for the federation.
Hey gang! This week on the show we chat about the recent AEW WrestleDream show, which was very good.

And as a special treat, we got a vote of confidence from beyond the grave from none other than the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes!

Thanks as always for the support, it is appreciated more than you will ever know! Cheers!

Hey gang! This week on the show we cover the 2001 WWF SummerSlam and the Smackdown that followed. It definitely seems like a bit of a transition period, but we are here to see where it goes.

We also took some time to chat about the first SuperBrawl and a whole lot more. Cheers!

This week on the show we finally got to talk about the Invasion PPV that neither of us had seen before and it was actually pretty solid! There was quite the swerve at the end that definitely changed the landscape of the company as Stone Cold went full Stone Cold. We also took a look at a great SummerSlam match from 2013 between CM Punk and Brock Lesnar and of course went down several other paths as the show went on. Cheers!
Hey gang! This week we spend a bulk of the show covering the Smackdown before the Invasion PPV. It's a lot, but let's be honest; while the concept wasn't seen through to fruition, it was a pivotal moment in the landscape of the industry.

Well for those of you who have been waiting for our annual summer bag league to start, it is in full swing this week, complete with a rain delay so we got a late start.

The WCW invasion is finally starting, and it made for a fun show. We also touched on an NXT banger, AEW Grand Slam: Mexico, WWE and more. Cheers!
This week on the show we got off to a bit of a rocky start, but pulled it together nicely to give you all of the segments you know and love!
