That’s some good alliteration in that title. We’re still here and we saw Royal Rumble and your favorite thots have some THOUGHTS. Joseph as per usual disagrees with the winners, and while claiming to give Hector time to make him get it can’t help but interrupt. They also get into the Women’s Royal Rumble of which they thoroughly enjoyed 28 contestants. Apologies for the abrupt end to this episode but due to technical difficulties we have a two part episode. Both parts will be delayed commentary ...

The wrestling is good, well...the guys MOSTLY have no complaints. Unfounded conspiracy theories? Maybe. Seemingly unnecessarily hyper focused criticism? Yup. Hector's jacket thing? You bet you. It' s very important these are see as what they are, not complaints. They recap the week and then get into their predictions in a preview of the two wrestling events this weekend. NXT Deadline and Ring of Honor Final Battle.

HELLO! So we've taken yet ANOTHER lengthy leave but if you're reading this you probably expected that by now. But none of that matters now cause the guys who are admittedly low on AEW are trying to get into full gear both literally and metaphorically. That means this is a prediction show! Hector and Joseph are mostly sure that the press conference at ALL OUT wasn't directly caused by our preview show last time so they're willing to take the chance. Before predictions they catch up with each othe...
