    Episode 47: The State of WWE and how it's declining

    For this episode I give my thoughts on the state of WWE moreso from an economic, creative perspective. I talk about how I think the move of Raw to Netflix has backfired as it was the flagship show on cable for so long. I then talk about the increase in price going from Peacock to ESPN app and how thats a problem. I then go into how I think streaming sports on apps (other than the NFL) won't work out. I talk about the disregard of kayfabe and how I think that has turned a lot of people off. I conclude by talking about how the big names (Seth, Roman, Cody, Punk) don't wrestle except on PLE's and how I disagree with that and compare it to the past

    Episode 46: Hulk Hogan Doc review

    For this episode, I give my thoughts on the Hulk Hogan documentary released on Netflix. I talk about my dislike for documentaries lately. Feel like I didn't learn anything new in this one which is exactly what I expected. Hulk's story has already been well documented and regaled. I talk about the non-stop regaling of WrestleMania 1 and the NWO. I've heard that story a million times already. Also deep dive and break down the portryal of WrestleMania VI match vs. Warrior and WrestleMania IX ending and Bret Hart's commentary.
