    Memorial Day weekend had three big shows for the stateside companies, and all of them had pretty good and stuff that wasn't so good. That's pretty much the show this week on the LAZY RIVER OF WRESTLING CRITICISM. Plus we ponder, should CM Punk be the top heel on his brand?

    This week: Collision is a go in Chicago, which means CM Punk...probably. Injuries abound in women's wrestling and our LAZY RIVER OF WRESTLING CRITICISM involves all three shows we usually revolve around so we'll do previews of Double or Nothing, Battleground, and Night of Champions. Rest in Peace, Tina Turner

    This week, Superstar Billy Graham passes away and CM Punk wasn't part of the WBD upfronts, but Ace Steel has been employed for months? What? Anyhoo, after that the LAZY RIVER OF WRESTLING CRITICISM where there was a lot to like on Dynamite, a lot of meh in WWE, and Jeff watched the origin story of Jim Cornette in Memphis.

    This week, we explain what happened to last week's show, AEW getting paid and should both companies just leave the states for a while? It's a lot of LAZY RIVER OF WRESTLING CRITICISM: Backlash ice cold takes, some people like good matches, Jeff likes builds; should Trick Williams have been destroyed; the 4 pillars promos; does AEW have too many midcard comedy babyfaces, Memphis 1986 and more!

    The computer ate the show for the week, so from the long dead patreon, in July 2019 Chris and I watched Crockett Cup 1986. Enjoy

    This week: Punk goes to Raw, an ex-writer sues WWE, and on the LAZY RIVER OF WRESTLING CRITICISM- WWE has a worthless belt, AEW has three beat down segments, we forget to talk about Roddy but we do remember to talk about Public Enemy.

NerdReality ,

Wonderful

This is the only podcast I keep up with every week. The dynamic between Rob and Jeff is hilarious. Most wrestling podcasts have become overwhelming negative but STR has a good balance. I usually save it for a commute and it does not disappoint.

Edited in 2021: it’s ok. They have bad takes though. I kid.

Dr. Nov to the rescue!

Jeff, thank you for the phenomenal upgrade in co-hosts! You two are the only reasons to waste a second on RAW.
