Podcast Episode 108: The Battle of Cleveland

Cocked, locked, and ready to unload!
Cocked, locked, and ready to unload!

After the hot crowd in Pittsburgh let WWE know how we feel about the product, the Road to WrestleMania continued on Monday in Ohio. Try as they may, the crowd just couldn’t reach the same levels of cooperative discontent, but I’d argue they got the job done.

Daniel Bryan, John Cena, Sheamus, and Randy Orton are confirmed to be in the Elimination Chamber match. Brock Lesnar is likely, which leaves one more spot open and a few weeks to fill it. Will the #YesMovement finally bring satisfaction to the jilted WWE Universe? Only time will tell.. Until then, keep buying those shirts and telling your friends..

Hosted By: ‘The Beast from the Middle East’ Darrell Johnson (@zazzumplop)

Featuring: Joshua Schlag (@thesteelcage / @schlizzag), Derek (@cap_kaveman), ‘A-Bomb’ Adam Hess (@ahess49), Bryan ‘Pipe Bomb’ Gregston (@guitarsalad), Sprung (@jasprung), and Hashtag Billi (@DirteeJesus).

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!
