We have a lot to unpack this week: Ben and Katy are divided about the halftime show, they're confused why performers would pay to perform, but they do agree that the dystopia-sponsored Superbowl went off without a hitch.

We expected turducken but we ended up getting tofurkey. No stakes. No food fight. This week, Ben and Katy disagree on how best to digest Survivor Series pay-per-view and they ask themselves: Did he retire? Will he ever retire?Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0

Vince can recruit on Twitch but wrestlers can't stream?! Zelina Vega is the latest victim in WWE's lust for ultimate control but maybe the tides will finally turn. Will wrestlers be treated as more than just corporate contracts, maybe they can be considered talent, actors, or even stunt performers one day? Then in golf, Jon Rahm's hole-in-one really showed us that the sport is really lacking Ben and Katy's commentary.Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0

Ben and Katy guess who the TBD's could be in the upcoming Survivor Series. Also this week, as wrestling evolved Male wrestlers were able to rebrand and change characters without question, were female wrestlers awarded the same freedom? How many times will we be saying farewell to The Undertaker?Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0

Hell In a Cell started as hell to watch but they recovered by the end of the night and Halloween Havoc delivered the scares. Historic lead-up but massive letdown in this week's Match From the Past. Finally we ask, would Bill Belichick accept a hug?

Jericho and MJF showcase their vocals, Bret Hart validates everything Ben has said about Goldberg, Shaq confirms Katy's feelings on Dwight Howard, Vince still hates fat people, and Khabib shows that one can retire undefeated even with a broken foot.

This week in rasslin' talk: Lars Sullivan's past puts Ben and the WWE on alert while Ronda Rousey rumors place her back in the squared circle. Then in sports, Dwight Howard's inspirational message scores big with Ben, Le'Veon Bell scores more money with the Chiefs, and LADogder's Mookie doesn't let the ATLBraves score in this week's Play of the Week.

The WWE gives and the WWE takes without reason or consequence. Why didn't Otis do anything with MITB?! Then in professional sports, the Lakers thought they had it but the Heat just didn't let them take it. Tom Brady, though, definitely did not have it.

Vince McMahon has further extended his absolute power over WWE wrestlers but are the stars finally pushing back on his overreach? We mourn the Jets, we miss the real grass, and wonder how low the bar is being set for NFL coaches. Then, LA Lakers's A.D. pushes back the Heat as Player of the Week!

Ben and Katy mentally prepare for upcoming Clash of the Champions after what could have been the worst PPV in WWE history. With the NBA community being put to the test will Miami Heat's unity be enough to defeat the Celtics and to take on the Lakers? Then Ben wonders if the NFL refs are just too sensitive or is there something more nefarious going on?

Why can't the WWE figure out what to do with NXT stars once they're called up? This week, we ask why Vince has no follow through, recap AEW Dynamite Parking Lot fight, preview the card for Clash of the Champions, and we prepare to talk about... more sports!

Matt Hardy went All Out on AEW and maybe it was too much. Also the original TLC Match, Edge & Christian vs The Hardy Boyz, on this week's Match From the Past!

This week Ben and Katy digest the R-Truth and Braun Strowman documentaries, they wonder if Dominik Mysterio is on his way to battling Rey Mysterio, and they speculate on CM Punk rumors surrounding Retribution. Also, we recap WWE Payback, AEW Dynamite, and prepare our mimosas for All Out 2020!

Nepotism runs deeper than kendo stick wounds in the legacy of wrestling. Some wrestler's kids have to work their way through developmental, other wrestler's kids just show up with cute frosted tips on their dad's promos and make it to the main stage. This week we break down SummerSlam 2020 and the debut of Dominik Mysterio.

With SummerSlam 2020 on our minds we talk Sonya Deville's home invasion and Renee Young out of the WWE. Also, NXT Takeover 30 happens tonight, we ask ourselves, can a football player really defeat a professional wrestler?

More speculations on Summer Slam and WWE. Randy Orton: Legend Killer or Retirement Home Hunter? What part will the amazing Alexa Bliss play in the Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman match? Then on WWE, Asuka deserves better than a "Karen" story line with Bayley, will the upcoming Sasha Banks match deliver?

A lot to lose and a lot to prove. Ben wonders if the Mysterio bloodline will lose another eye, if Chris Jericho writes his own roasts, and what TNT executive firings could mean for AEW wrestling.
