The entire roster (except for BSJ) reunites for Audio Ben’s rambunctious final episode send-off. Smackdown kicks things off with a steel cage match between Solo and Cody but the roster is divided on if the current Bloodline/Cody Rhodes/OTC story is enough to push things into A+ territory. There’s no question on how much we loved RAW, from Iyo and Bianca giving us a PPV-level match to big meaty men brawling backstage and NXT’s back with so many shining stars it’s almost impossible to go wrong.

WOOO! Strut on into this week’s episode with a massively entertaining watchalong featuring a mixed tag match between Ric Flair and Lil Naitch vs. Madusa and Randy Savage. Charles Robinson is one of the greatest refs in the biz and also now the greatest Ric Flair impersonator we’ve seen, with all four of these legends firing on all cylinders (well, mostly). Rachel did her homework and checked out Walter vs. Pete Dunné, Matt reveals which wrestler Becky Lynch calls out in her autobiography, and Audio Ben stares up at the lights.

Same roster, new week as Rachel is joined by Frolf, Uncle Naitch, and Adam to tear into the weird and wacky world of wrestling. Uncle Naitch questions why we’re living in a world of B Plus matches when we could have all As, Frolf is intrigued by Giulia’s debut and her overall aura, Adam finally catches up on NXT, and Rachel loves 2/3rds of Bret Hart’s shamanic return to Monday Night Raw.

The OG Three unite again to talk about the yays, nays, and okays of what’s going on in wrestling right now. Rachel digs into the treasure trove of WWE Network streaming series and uncovers Swerved and the bizarre animated show Camp WWE. Matt introduces his new favorite segment comparing storylines in professional wrestling to hot dog and topping combinations. Audio Ben is blown away by the Wyatt Sicks vs. American Made street fight.

Tsunami splash through a car into a jam-packed episode recapping, reviewing, and vibing on last weekend’s plethora of wrestling. Audio Ben met wrestling legend Mick Foley last weekend and got to reunite with his best friend Max Vocal, speaking as his voice on an incredible experience. Rachel questions why Nia Jax didn’t deserve a spot on the Bash at Berlin card and changes her mind when Audio Ben reframes it as main eventing a nationally televised show. Joe Hendry may be gone from NXT for now but we still believe (well, at least Rachel does).

Rachel is joined by Frolf, Uncle Naitch, and Adam to talk through the plethora of wrestling that we have to consume this week. Naitch fills us in on his favorite AEW moments from last weekend’s AEW All In, Adam books a predictable yet surprising contender for LA Knight’s Open Challenge at Bash at Berlin, Frolf presents the idea of a Women’s Trios Belt, and Rachel still believes in Joe Hendry.

Audio Ben is back in The Lounge with the boys. This week they talk about the impact of the Ula Fala on those that hold it, along with discussing the more important inanimate objects of wrestling’s past. Other topics include the work rate feud of Andrade and Melo, the presentation since Kevin Dunn’s departure, AEW’s All In card this weekend, and of course we say his name…well, he didn’t appear but his theme certainly gets played. So pull up a chair, grab your favorite beverage, smoke a tree, and hang out in The Lounge.

Last week’s episode inspired us to watch Randy Orton vs. Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2016. Audio Ben fills Rachel in on some gaps in Brock’s storyline, Green Shirt Guy may be Back-To-The-Futuring Us and the commentary team sparks some intriguing conversation. The Queen of Wrestling Threads posed the question “Is AEW turning into WCW?” on Threads and Audio Ben comes to AEW’s defense. GCW may have felt more like a house show this time but at least Rachel got a picture with Matt Cardona.
