Kind of a holiday paced STR this week and next as we both watched what we could.  Jeff is geeked about Bianca Belair's first opportunity at a Takeover.  Plus more adulation for NXT UK's "Wild Boar" Mike Hitchman.

It's an optimistic show as Jeff and Chris anticipate the demise of the XFL on the eve of their press conference announcing cities.  After that, a record low RAW with lots of live skits and the New Daniel Bryan.  We're sure it's the only wrestling podcast this week that references Edmund Burke. http://www.patreon.com/shakethemropes Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Pri...

We really loved NXT in San Jose.  We like NXT UK and 205 Live but think they're missing interesting characters. "Tip jar" patreon http://www.patreon.com/shakethemropes Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Jeff is in a mood.  Chris is more fascinated by chess.  They talk Dean Ambrose, Becky/Charlotte, and the awesomeness of "Wild Boar" Mike Hitchman.  This one was rough on Hawkins.  Plus they reveal their first patreon episode.

Jeff embraces his inner televangelist.  Also, Crown Jewel is over and it was sad.  Time to try to cram some significance into a two week slapshod build to Laundry Wars 2018 aka Survivor Series...the one time a year...etc.  You know what that means?  McMahons.  Also on RAW, a ten second build to make you care about sunglasses.  Oh and lots of Nikki Cross talk.  Please support us at http://patreon.c...
