In this episode Joseph is gearing up to watch AEW live in a couple weeks and Hector live reacts to the Top Dolla botch and as they once again give their thoughts on what they loved and hated and give their predictions as fantasy booking.

Well we skipped a week, but this time it is legally excused. The guys are here to talk about their views on the November special shows of Full Gear and Survivor Series War Games.

HELLO! So we've taken yet ANOTHER lengthy leave but if you're reading this you probably expected that by now. But none of that matters now cause the guys who are admittedly low on AEW are trying to get into full gear both literally and metaphorically. That means this is a prediction show! Hector and Joseph are mostly sure that the press conference at ALL OUT wasn't directly caused by our preview show last time so they're willing to take the chance. Before predictions they catch up with each other on all the things since our last episode that have had them stoked and brought them back and wanting to keep recording.

So we skipped a week but the guys are back and surprisingly excited about WWE. Well maybe unsurprisingly. They then get into AEW even though the main event scene is leaving them dissatisfied lately. They also briefly discuss their two favorites of the G1 so far.

So once again it’s been a long time since you heard from our dudes, let's consider this episode our shaking fist on the way to our Hulking out . We’ve all been reinvigorated with new wrestling life, none more than our dudes. Their new favorite tag team are the reigning world champs of their current favorite promotion…which may soon be their old favorite promotion. Still bringing unnecessary rants and when we’re up to full speed we’ll have better production but for now at least Takeunder lives!

Three weeks in a row! The optimism has fully return to the dudes, well, mostly. They are once again surprisingly really stoked on their two favorite shows as well as a new challenger.

A little bit late on these but the bright side is the guys are back two weeks in a row! After a week of being excited for wrestling with mixed results on what was delivered, they get into the men’s and women’s Royal Rumbles and talk about how they much they love the weekly shows, well MOSTLY. Then they wrap up with a draft of potential signings they would love to see, one of which is a huge surprise.

HI EVERYONE! Hector and Joseph STILL aren't gone but they have not been particularly inclined to talk about wrestling given the state of their once favorite promotion. They lament what Vince has done to the show that was their boy and discuss how AEW is scratching the itch for their particular wrestling tastes. We close out the episode with a draft of the 5 wrestlers who helped get us through 2021 the most. 

Thanks for any and all who listened this year and hope you stick with us in the new one.

Despite the universe conspiring to keep our inflammatory takes from hitting the internet here we are. On a real note, we apologize for the absence but the boys are back to talk their two favorite wrestling shows. Hector has been repulsed away from NXT and Joseph lays out his pitch to get him to catch up. Then they get into some of the newest developments with the “hottest wrestling company on the planet,” AEW.

Once again your favorite surly NXT marks took a break but as always they’re back. They still have a lot of problems with the product but they mostly revolve around one person they have unanimously rejected. The guys spend the whole episode catching up on the last few weeks which included a Takeover; Joseph kicks us off with some gimmick infringement accusations and Hector ends the show with the epiphanic experience of discovering Sting.

A week after changing their “publish” day the guys have already fallen behind, but we’re still here this week! With a big event on the other show this is mostly just discussion about the changes we saw on NXT and our first major discussion into AEW. Surprisingly Joseph is the high on the promotion this week but neither were very satisfied with Blood and Guts and they get into why. We wrap up previewing both shows for next week and get lost on tangents all along the way.

Look at your boys getting two episodes in one week! After feeling a little FOMO from everyone else having to move Hector and Joseph have decided to move their scheduled release date as well. Because of the changes we have also decided to bring AEW talk back into the mix. This episode is them getting their bearings from the goings on on the TNT side. Joseph works himself into a shoot with his distastes for some of the people in AEW and Hector indulges his hating ways. This one gets a quite a bit explicit at points, our apologies.

So we missed a lot but Hector and Joseph are back and once again our not a recap show is recapping the past few weeks. Possibly our longest episode yet, the guys had too much too get to for a topic but recap our first ever two night Takeover and the first two weeks of the change to Tuesday. Terrible tangent targets include Peacock, bad champs, really bad HR practices and and really really bad booking for the women on the main show.

Hector and Joseph in typical fashion once again missed a week, or two, but they’re back right before it counts! Right in time for NXT Takeover: Stand & Deliver! As usual they catch up on the notable stuff they want to talk about from around the promotion and then get into predictions for the biggest Takeover ever.

At the risk of gimmick infringing multiple podcasts the guys spend the first half of their return from an extended absence(they are blaming NXT's teases of "landscape changing" announcements) primarily discussing the best division on the planet, the NXT Women's division. With a first ever two night Takeover on the horizon, this week is just the guys catching up on the state of things with their favorites.

As they are still processing their grief from the Undisputed breakup the guys decided to explore some more pleasant faction related booking (31:05). Prior to that they run the ropes with the latest happenings around NXT and take a lengthy detour to discuss the abysmal way the biggest promotions have booked the their women stars.

It’s finally happened! A long time coming breakup we have been dreading is here and our boys are not ok. In this episode, they recap NXT Takeover Vengeance Day running down the card giving their thoughts of a pay per view they could not have thought more highly of, well maybe one of them.

Hector and Joseph are here to discuss the most romantic pro wrestling event of all, Takeover Vengeance Day! Before giving us their predictions for the big night they ramble about the goings on in the promotion including the Peacock deal, Edge, and Triple H’s press call.

In this episode the guys discuss the Jan. 6th episode of NXT. Try as it might have the worst sedition in the history of the world could not ruin New Years Evil. The “no longer a recap show” kind of recaps all the action and gives their opinions with plenty of fantasy booking detours along the way.

It’s a been a while and we know we weren’t supposed take another leave for a while however, some unforeseen personal stuff came up. Anyway, we’re back and this week Hector and Joseph return to discuss the NXT year end awards and preview New Years Evil including all the bottled up rants of the last two month. Spoiler Alert: Hector hates the state of tag division, Joseph hates the current women’s championship reign and we all hate Pat McAffee(just kidding…..kind of).

Hey guys remember NXT? It’s been a long holiday week and weekend so the guys are here to discuss the November 25th episode. This was recorded this the night of the episode but we thought we’d drop this today to recap before the War Games go home show. This is also the make up for last week’s skipped show so there is a bit to catch up on but they’re up for the task.

As always thanks so much for listening! Please rate and review on your podcast player of choice?

Sorry for the delay but technical difficulties and Joseph’s obsession with Sasha in The Mandalorian were a few unexpected surprises these last weeks. Their sloppiness is your gain however, because we all get to skip last weeks mediocrity and jump right into a good show, the November 11th episode. In this one the guys get into all the happenings with the Gargano’s, they have some differing opinions on how women’s division should go forward and fully buy in on hating the new outsider faction on the way to War Games.

Sorry for the late episode but we needed some time to collect ourselves after that killer Halloween Havoc show. The guys really get into the new faction storyline, the best new rivalry of Rhea/Raquel and Candace/Io put on a show but the guys are not happy with the results.

As always thanks so much for listening! Welcome to our new listeners!

Still working on the scoring of last years draft, Hector and Joseph are punting(spoilers?) on that this week and just bringing you their thoughts on the October 21st episode of NXT. As has come to be expected, there was a lot of good in the ring showings but the guys had mixed feelings on the segments particularly the twist at the end. We give our Halloween Havoc preview and predictions. The Chatty Cathys then unload on a tangent of how WWE constantly chooses profit over product.

This one gets almost unnecessarily explicit towards the end, sorry about that.

The guys DID NOT achieve their goal of getting this out earlier but it’s here anyway! For this episode they recap the October 14th episode of NXT, in which the tag teams have returned to mixed results, the cruiserweight continue earning their spot, the women continue their intrigue and the North American title picture gets more crowded with a new contender on his way TO👆THE👆MOON✌️!

Better late than never seems to be the mantra of this podcasts. In this episode the guys recap the October 7th episode of NXT. Joseph is still awed by the women, Hector learns why Ember is so highly regarded, lots of people coming out of now where and an overload of segments. Along the way we lose them on tangents about the state of the tag team division and their mixed feelings about wrestlers with allegations and no resolutions.

This one gets pretty explicit as well, forgive us, it was a late night talk

The guys got together to talk about a fantastic Takeover in spite of its inexplicable ending. Joseph get’s an early October scare and gets uncharacteristically optimistic about the future of WWE. "They can’t all be T-Bar."

As always thanks so much for listening! Welcome to our new listeners!

Apparently the guys are now referring to their lengthier breaks as season breaks🤷‍♂️. Regardless, they likely could not have chosen a worse time. They missed the coronation of a new champion, two new number one contenders and bunch of other storyline teases. What is done is done though and in this episode they’re back with a preview of Takeover 31. They close out the show talking about storylines and superstars that won’t be featured at Takeover they’re most excited about.*Warning this one gets a little explicit as it goes on*

As always thanks so much for listening! Welcome to our new listeners!

After ANOTHER, but first in a long time, unexpected absence the boys are back and recapping what they’ve missed, it has been a lot. They give their thoughts on the state of the roster while reviewing the Takeover 30 card, including; the loss of our limitless one, a couple unexpected returns and the most exciting women’s roster tease in recent memory. Then they wrap with some predictions for NXT Super Tuesday. *The Mauro news released after recording this so the guys’ proper tone of sadness will be reflected on the next episode.*

As always thanks so much for listening!

A little late this week but the boys finally got around to discussing the July 22nd episode of NXT. Mixed bag this time; No more double champ, the women show up but their favorite brand sullies it’s name, a fantastic first of what is sure to be an amazing series of triple threats and we had a re-enactment of everyone’s favorite Rocky movie in the main event. They also get into a fantastic work happening outside of the show and discuss what they think it might mean.

As always thanks so much for listening!

The July 15th episode of NXT had its work cut out for it and it unfortunately could not live up to expectations. Hector and Joseph were disappointed pretty much all around; lesser showings of two established rivalries, two top tier women were brought down to lower levels and an obscene lack of Undisputed Era. The good news is they’re optimistic about upcoming weeks and they have a new member to the Robert Stone Bandwagon, welcome Tom Phillips

Thanks so much for listening!

July 8’s episode, night two of NXT’s great American Bash. Night two didn’t pack all the fireworks of night one but saved the best for the finale. There was some pleasant surprises and some disappointing expectations but we got what we came for in the showdown of unstoppable forces, Keith Lee vs Adam Cole.

Thanks so much for listening!

This week the guys were pretty stoked about night one of NXT’s two week event, The Great American Bash. The women disappoint for the first time in recent memory; Joseph expresses a very passionate and very wrong opinion about catch wrestling; Rhea’s booking continues to perplex; the last hour of the show dazzles and like the rest of the wrestling world we give the 3 brand champs their due credit.

Thanks so much for listening!

This week the guys discuss another solid showing,  the June 24th episode of NXT. Joseph professes his developing love for a libeled country phenom, the Robert Stone Brand looks to expand, Keith Lee and Karrion Kross get showcases, Hector continues the disrespect toward the Boss, a brief preview of the first week of Great American Bach and finally the guys have had enough and go in on the disastrously botched pandemic response by WWE.

Thanks for listening

This week the guys push passed some awful developments to recap the 06/17/20 episode of NXT. The ladies stole the show; someone in WWE DOESN’T hate tag team wrestling; we get some great foreshadowing of the main alphas and a new stable and Hector feels the needs to blaspheme the legends who set off the Women’s Evolution.

Thanks for listening!

Ways to help out:

For once their absence was planned and even though the movement is still ongoing the guys decided for their own mental health to reconvene and give themselves somewhat of a break from it. They had a lot to catch up on; a not so good show, a pretty great Takeover, and a serviceable follow up episode. They go in depth on the In Your House card and where most people stand including taking a moment of silence for their lost bro, Matt Riddle.

*Notes: Joseph apologizes for his overt potty mouth and will do better. The quality is still in flux and we are getting the kinks out of our new set up. Thanks for sticking with us and listening!
