For the first time ever, Ninety94 Chicago performed a live podcast from Chicago's iO Theater. The event called PodSlam benefited Connor's Cure, which helps fund research for pediatric cancer. It was a terrific event that raised thousands of dollars in donations. Because the event and charity were professional wrestling-themed, Tony and his friend Brandon kept with that theme. They discussed the current goings-on in WWE and elsewhere, and then tried to best one another in a couple rounds of trivia. It was a great night and many laughs were had. Thanks again to PodSlam for inviting Ninety94 Chicago to take part. Enjoy the show. ©2017 Ninety94 Chicago
