The boys are joined by Kyle Hessler, booker and promoter of Pale Pro Wrestling in the Dallas Fort Worth Area. They discuss a variety of topics, the transition from MMA Fighter to Promoter, scouting talent, championship reigns and more. Pale Pro has a show coming up on September 3rd, be sure to check it out. PalePro.com for tickets and more info

\nAfter Kyle exits, Tony brings up the Sasha Banks photo saga from the weekend. Matt has some off the wall takes, and may even be stretching it with his argument. We get breaking news that Rocky Jones had passed away, so we spend sometime talking about him & ECPW.
\n
\nWe end up talking about the WWE in a positive light, something we haven’t done in a very long time. Kross’s return, who should take the title from Roman, HHH already improving the product, Women’s Tag Title Tournament and more. Tony hates AEW and the Trios Title, we talk some Quake on the Lake, AEW Fight Forever and some more. We bounce around with some NWA & Impact talk, the Lex Lugar documentary and the news that VICE is brining us a new show based on the territories.
\n
\nAfter Patreon Plugs we jump into this week’s Wizards Rewind. Back to August 1997, the ECW Arena, Born to Be Wired. Matt and Tony aren’t super excited about the show, and Matt 100% romanticized it since it was his first trip to Philly. After spending a good amount of time talking about the show, and Kevin opening our eyes, the boys decide that it was a pretty good show. We talk a bunch of ECW & it’s a great discussion and review. <\/p>\n
