Matt and Audio Ben have watched professional wrestling since before Rachel was born. Rachel has been watching for about two years. This unlikely trio dissects wrestling, pop culture, and everything in between.

ILW Lounge Vol. 10
We’re rich in PPVs and predictions, with the ILW Lounge opening up to discuss NXT Battleground and which female superstar we see having the most success in the next 10 years. We also speculate if there will be a title change during Sami Zayn and Chad Gable’s Clash at the Castle match and what it means for the future of Alpha Academy. Some fascinating statistics about how the NWO stacks up to the Judgement Day sparks a conversation about what makes a faction matter. THREADS @ilwpod ...

Custody for Dominik Mysterio Ladder Match (2005)
Legends, friends, father and uncle Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero put their skills to the test at 2005 SummerSlam in a ladder match to determine custody of young Dominik Mysterio. The mustached and mulletted Dominik Mysterio of today has nothing on the puppy-dog eyed child from the past but it doesn’t matter what his age is when he’s doing such great work. We speculate if Logan Paul’s baby will be part of his story, run through some preliminary Clash at the Castle predictions, and finally fi...

ILW Lounge Vol. 9
Rachel is joined by Uncle Naitch, Adam, and Matty Ice to talk about King and Queen of the Ring highlights, TNA’s burgeoning relationship with WWE, and how the NXT call ups are cooking. Naitch leads us in an AEW Double or Nothing recap and discussion of where the brand is heading. The guys take a trip down memory lane to remind Rachel how lucky she is to be able to consume virtually any PPV at the click of a button.

RVD vs. John Cena (ECW One Night Stand 2006)
Matt attended ECW One Night Stand live way back in 2006 and we’re here for the second time on ILW to talk about this iconic PPV, this time featuring a watch-along of The Spirit of WWE (John Cena) vs. The Spirit of ECW (Rob Van Dam). Rachel finds a compelling reason to convince Matt to give her his commemorative chair from the event, we’re introduced to Goldust’s provocative new look, and a unique direction is predicted for the winners of King and Queen of the Ring.

ILW Lounge Vol. 8
It’s almost time to crown the King and Queen of the Ring and the lounge is open with our various configurations and speculations of who we think should be crowned. We continue to give the NXT Women’s Roster its proper flowers, with special thanks to Lash Legend and Lola Vice. Rachel poses the question of what The Attitude Era would look like without The Montreal Screwjob and ends up causing quite the divide amongst the ITCOGs.
