    LEGENDS AND FUTURE GREATS REVIEW SHOW S3 EPISODE 3 (Wrestling Stew 5.13.26) w/ @Lufisto

    Lufisto and Jeff Lippman return to break down Season 3, Episode 3 of LFG, but both hosts express major disappointment with the show's current format and "phony baloney" production. The episode is heavy on critiques, starting with a women's tag team match where Matt Bloom calls out the babyfaces for showing zero fear against a monster heel. Things get worse in the men's division, as the hosts dissect Trill London's massive in-ring regression and botched spots against rookie Braxton Cole. The spotlight then shifts to Cam Hendrix (formerly Anthony Luke) and Tate Wilder. While their match shows promise, Cam's overthinking and a late-match stumble lead Matt Bloom to pull him from LFG entirely to recalibrate. The episode wraps up with a deep dive into the systemic flaws of the WWE Performance Center's NIL recruitment strategy, with Jeff and Lufisto arguing that developmental talent desperately needs excursions to indies like GCW or TNA to learn how to work a real crowd.

    Post WWE Backlash show. Lee Sanders from the RCWR Show hosts Anthony, to run down what the hell happened at WWE Backlash. The Asuka farewell match? Also, the insidious intentions of Club WWE and the John Cena un-retirement invitational for the new John Cena championship belt. Danhausen already jumping the shark, and validating the hater-hausen criticisms on why this guy in WWE is a bust. Jake looking weak and silly, as the entitled babyface in a storyline that no one should want, and the lack of any reaction from Breakker and Seth's Visionary storyline coming to a close with all the fanfare of a dirty diaper.
