Episode 58 - Karrion My Wayward Son

It’s a skeleton crew this week — Andy’s allegedly hiding out in the Canary Islands (probably dodging Konnan), so it’s just Dan, Brett, and Lucy steering this runaway train.

Karrion Kross and Scarlett’s contracts might be expiring… or it might be a work… or maybe it’s just a distraction while WWE sleepwalks through another PR nightmare. Either way, people online make it out to be the Da Vinci Code, and we’re here to poke holes in the hype.

From there, we’re jumping straight into the good stuff: AEW might be on its hottest run in years. Collision and Dynamite are firing on all cylinders, Forbidden Door is around the corner, and we could be seeing Nigel McGuinness in the O2. Plus, your Discord and Twitter questions take us from fantasy booking chaos to arguing about trios titles, women’s tag divisions, Mercedes Mone, and everything in between.

It’s opinionated, unfiltered, and sometimes a bit messy — exactly how wrestling podcasting should be.
