About this episode
The episode reflects on Ted Turner's impact on wrestling and previews the upcoming Backlash event while discussing various wrestling storylines.
The guys begin by reflecting on the passing of Ted Turner and his massive contributions to television, sports media, and professional wrestling—specifically how he pushed Vince McMahon to evolve his product to stay competitive. They also break down this week’s Backlash and question the long-term interest in these "secondary" PLEs. The duo explores the possibility of Jacob Fatu defeating Roman Reigns and speculates on John Cena’s upcoming big announcement. Regarding AEW Dynamite, the hosts discuss Darby Allin’s challenge to MJF, where Darby offered to put his hair on the line for a championship match at Double or Nothing. Andrew makes a personal plea to Max not to accept, citing several specific reasons. Plus, they cover the new season of Dark Side of the Ring, TKO earnings notes, Oro Mensah’s (formerly Evil) new direction in NXT, and take your listener questions!
