Podcast Episode 225: Payback 2016 Preview

Phenomenal.
Phenomenal.

The first PPV of the new era. That’s what they’re calling it. Could it be true?

Well, if we’re talking about an era of logical storytelling, solid in ring action, and consistency that makes you not regret spending three hours every Monday in front of the TV – then, yeah. It’s a new era, indeed!

Intrigue over the Bullet Club, Owens vs Zayn, Hart family vs Flair family, tag team WRESTLING, the rise of Dean Ambrose, the awesomeness of Cesaro, and more… WWE has been fun. What happened at WrestleMania stays at WrestleMania.

Hosted by: Joshua Schlag (@thesteelcage / @schlizzag)

Featuring: ‘The Mayor of Reseda’ Derek (@cap_kaveman), Bryan ‘Pipe Bomb’ Gregston (@guitarsalad), and ‘Super Jew’ Jared (@SuperJew75).

For most of the last 30+ years of my life, I've been watching WWE. As a kid, Monday Night Raw hooked me from the start. From Bret Hart and Razor Ramon, to Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, to CM Punk and Daniel Bryan.. I've witnessed the ups and downs and I'm proud to have enjoyed pro wrestling through the years.

Though I now watch in a much different fashion than I did when I was a kid (finding out Vince McMahon was the owner and Jack Tunney no more than a figurehead was like finding out Santa Claus did not exist), I feel like I have a much greater appreciation for the hard work pro wrestlers do and the things they sacrifice to entertain us.

It's still real to me, dammit!
