The boys are back with another episode full of action-packed action!
\n
\nWe start with a recap on Paisan Con and all the great things we missed. There is a discussion on the career of Sabu in remembrance of his passing last weekend.
\n
\nThen Gringo Loco joined the show to talk about his recent travels around the world.
\n
\nAfter the break we break down WWE Backlash and our PPV picks, which leads to some discussion about the WWE booking in general.
\n
\nThen we get to our favorite part of the show: discussing AEW!
\n
\nWe cover the latest from Dark Side and the wacky life and times of Billy Jack Haynes, the illegitimate son of Vince McMahon Sr.
\n
\nFinally, we cover the homwork KJG assigned: Chris Candido vs. Lance Storm from ECW Heatwave 1998.
\n
