Not Another Freaking Podcast

It's draft season! To get in on the fun, the guys thought they'd do a draft as well. Keeping with the local tradition, the gang decided to do an Independent Wrestler Draft.

There's some obvious picks in the first round and the first pick is quite ob...

Shane and Will come armed with research and data in order to sell JD and Jayke on their ideas for what could have made The Great Khali's title run better than the dumpster fire that it was. Fantasy booking on crack here as the guys give us an alternate 2007 Smackdown scene that could have admittedly been pretty exciting. What do you think? Did they convince you as well?

The guys return to their roots in this episode as they talk about the awesome weekend of local wrestling in the area. Tyler lets us know that McDonald, TN is NOT where wrestling goes to die and Will and JD review the Scenic City Rumble.

In our latest episode, the gang reviews episodes 4-6 as the show begins to get into the meat of the game's content.

The gang starts things off by STEALING MY MOTHERF*****G BIRTHDAY.......ok, ok. I'm over it. Sorry. Anyways, they get things going by talking about the major title change at Battle in the Valley where Mercedes Mone won her first title since leaving WWE. Then they shift their attention to WWE's Elimination Chamber event and that emotional main event.

Roundtable discussion time! The gang gathers to discuss things they normally would not. The things that some view as uninteresting. The stories and characters far away from the main event. Asking the tough questions, like: "Was Karrion Kross better off with the gladiator gimmick?" All this and more as we step away from the predictable path.

That's the question of the week: who can you just not f*****g stand? The guys get real about it and find that they have a fair bit of crossover. The Flair's get quite a bit of hate in this episode, but let's be honest: Paul Lee is still kinda worse, right? What wrestlers can you not stand seeing on your screen? Share it with us! Be sure to like, share, and subscribe in order to continue seeing mor...

The gang dips their toes back into the pop-culture realm in order to bring the listeners their thoughts on the HBO hit series "The Last of Us." The show is based on the 2013 Playstation 3 game of the same name and our crew is intimately familiar with the source material. Jayke apparently doesn't check show notes, so he had to tag out for this one. A new voice joined us in his place and she knows w...

The question of the week. The guys start the show off discussing Cody's super babyface persona and how long it'll take before the crowds turn on him like they have stars of the past. Sami Uso Zayn is back and has a match with Roman in Montreal at the Elimination Chamber. Listen to the guys thoughts on that. And if WWE needs ideas for future sponsorship matches, the guys have some ideas for them. 

The little podcast that could has reached 100 episodes! To celebrate our 100th episode, the crew invited the Secret Smarks to review an actual movie with them: the 2010 classic "Wrong Side of Town" starring Dave Bautista and Rob Van Dam. A lot of fun is had reviewing the movie, but then the Smarks surprise the crew with a review of a show they attended! Hilarity ensues. 

The American Bodega Boy, Cody Rhodes has won the Royal Rumble and Will couldn't be happier to talk about it. The gang talks all things Rumble, gives their outlook on the show and the matches, and talks about that Sami Zayn segment extensively.
