Rachel is joined by Uncle Naitch, Adam, and Matty Ice to talk about King and Queen of the Ring highlights, TNA’s burgeoning relationship with WWE, and how the NXT call ups are cooking. Naitch leads us in an AEW Double or Nothing recap and discussion of where the brand is heading. The guys take a trip down memory lane to remind Rachel how lucky she is to be able to consume virtually any PPV at the click of a button.

All Hail Queen Nia and King Gunther, your newest Queen and King of the Ring crowned this weekend in Saudi Arabia. Rachel and Matt run through the card and reveal their favorite moments, matches, and predictions for SummerSlam. Evolution explores how The Great Khali got his SAG membership, Sexxy Red’s guest appearance on NXT, and if the UFC/Endeavor era might actually be a flop.

Matt attended ECW One Night Stand live way back in 2006 and we’re here for the second time on ILW to talk about this iconic PPV, this time featuring a watch-along of The Spirit of WWE (John Cena) vs. The Spirit of ECW (Rob Van Dam). Rachel finds a compelling reason to convince Matt to give her his commemorative chair from the event, we’re introduced to Goldust’s provocative new look, and a unique direction is predicted for the winners of King and Queen of the Ring.

It’s almost time to crown the King and Queen of the Ring and the lounge is open with our various configurations and speculations of who we think should be crowned. We continue to give the NXT Women’s Roster its proper flowers, with special thanks to Lash Legend and Lola Vice. Rachel poses the question of what The Attitude Era would look like without The Montreal Screwjob and ends up causing quite the divide amongst the ITCOGs.

The Montreal Screwjob is perhaps the most iconic moment in professional wrestling and Rachel has finally arrived and watched in its full Survivor Series glory. She shares thoughts, vibes, and feelings with special guest co-host Black Sabre Jr. who was lucky enough to watch it happen live 27 years ago. We talk about the legacies and impacts of Rick Roode, Jeff Jarrett, and brand sweepstakes, as well as what the Attitude Era might have looked like if Bret hadn’t been screwed.

Just like the NXT Women’s Roster, the ILW Lounge is cooking on all levels. We’ve got Backlash backlash, a brief update on Jimmy Uso, and endless praise for the best show in wrestling right now (with the exception of Brinley). Rachel guides the guys through a discussion on wrestling graphic t-shirts: then, now, forever, and together and we take a moment to honor Owen Hart’s birthday.

Our ears are still ringing from the French crowds at Backlash and Matt has a lot to say about le public interfering with his ability to enjoy the matches. Rachel wrangles a somewhat one-sided discussion on the 1997 In Your House: Badd Blood PPV. This podcast is unofficially sponsored by Challengers, The Last Match, and definitely not the WWE Draft.

You’ve got questions, and we have the answers! We start off with our AEW takes this week, then proceed to discuss the discourse of Becky Lynch’s current title win. Is this a good decision? What’s going on with the factions of WWE? How is The Bloodline still one of the hottest stories in wrestling? Is Sami Zayn a faction homewrecker? What’s the Bonk of the Week? All of these questions and more are answered by Audio Ben and the roster of OGs this week! Welcome….to The ILW Lounge!
