I assure you we are still here. In an unprecedented move, New Orleans killed our podcast last week. Hopefully, Jack, Derek, and Jared kept you going with their accounts of the Mania Weekend’s events…

This week, we’re going to take it back to NOLA for a bit and talk about WrestleMania 34, NXT TakeOver, and the post-Mania shows.

In the midst of that, we’ll also talk about this week’s Superstar Shakeup, and everything the last two weeks means to where WWE is headed this year.

From Ronda Rousey to Brock Lesnar, SmackDown Live’s STACKED roster, and fresh faces in NXT – the post-Mania months look to be fun.

Featuring: Joshua Schlag (@thesteelcage / @schlizzag) and ‘The Mayor of Reseda’ Derek (@cap_kaveman).

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!
