About this episode
Junkyard James discusses the Buffalo Bills' season predictions, the Sabres' playoff hopes, AEW's declining ratings, and WWE's approach to comedy in wrestling.
On this episode of Beyond The Junkyard, Junkyard James breaks down the newly released Buffalo Bills schedule and gives full season predictions. How many wins are realistic? Can Josh Allen and the Bills finally get over the hump? And will Buffalo once again rule the AFC East? Then we shift to hockey as the Sabres fight to keep their playoff run alive against Montreal. Can Buffalo force a Game 7, or has shaky defense and inconsistent goaltending finally caught up to them? In wrestling talk, James dives into the growing debate surrounding AEW’s declining ratings. Is it fair to blame Darby Allin, or is AEW simply getting crushed by the reality of NBA and NHL playoff competition? Plus, a full recap of SuperCard of Honor — the good, the bad, and the ugly. And in this week’s monologue, James unloads on WWE fans accepting low-effort comedy as “great wrestling.” Why are fans rewarding lazy gimmicks and meme characters? Why do acts like Orange Cassidy and The Outrunners succeed while others completely miss the mark? And why should wrestling fans demand better?
