It’s been a long time, we shouldn’t have left you without a dope beat to step to.

But for real, we’re back after a little bit of a hiatus, and we’ve got a lot to catch up on. From wrestle road trips to DC for AEW and LA for PWG, to the latest happenings in WWE, and the fun that is AEW. We break it all down, including Brian Kendrick’s fall from grace, the firing (???) of Shane McMahon, and (related to the last point) just how BAD a lot of the Royal Rumble was last weekend.

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!
