    Episode 682: SON of an SOB

    Episode 682: SON of an SOB

    The Tag Team of the Shining Wizards brings it to you in this latest episode as Matt & HK rock it with a ton of wrestling talk and talk about wrestling.

    The boys catch up with each other, doctor visits, pants in socks, socks with sandals and more.

    Talk turns to the Mania Madness which leads us to some Wrestlemania 9 talk which is a lot of fun

    We are then joined by the SON of an SOB, Ron Bass Jr. If you aren't familiar with Ron, this is a great interview to introduce yourself to him. We talk about being the son of a wrestler, rude fans, death matches, being a part of Mania weekend, being queer in wrestling and much more. This is such a great interview

    Back from the interview we talk about the WWE & Wrestlemania 40, Tony stops in to say hello before we continue with the WWE talk. Matt thinks the Cody/Rock stuff is overshadowing Cody/Roman. So the boys talk about that. We run down the Mania card, HK isn't impressed with the Tag Team Ladder Match, and this somehow leads us to Wrestlemania Tag Team Battle Royals.

    We move into AEW, and the Continental Title Change, plus Tony Khan gives us a clear explanation on the title, well kind of. Some Mercedes Mone talk, and this & that.

    Plus a little Dark Side of the Ring talk & NJPW news.



    A long but fun show, be sure to Subscribe, Rate and Review

Shinning the wizards

This is my must listen podcast every week. I drop everything. There is nothing better the shinning the wizards

dannyruss973 ,

The best wrestling pod out there

Six eyes, six ears, three chins, three mouths, thirty fingers, six nipples. Three butts, six kneecaps, three penises. I have just described to you the men of the Shining Wizards Wrestling Podcast. Your reward to listening to their show? Endless hours of entertainment. Tony, Matt, and Kevin are my favorite listen for wrestling news and thoughts and somehow, the show is even better when they veer off into completely different directions. It is one of the only podcasts I make sure to not miss, and if you are looking for wrestling talk that is not just about AEW and WWE, I promise they are the show for you. 11 years and going strong, a must listen for wrestling fans.
