Then there's mortgage advisor elder abuse—yes, you read that right—and how it all somehow ties into wrestling's weird week.But don't worry, we find hope in WrestleDream, where nearly every match has Match of the Year potential, despite the nonsensical build-up. And of course, we can't forget Andy continuing to sprinkle Outrunners quotes throughout the show, as we are still pushing for that long-overdue tag title run for @TruthMagnum and @turbofloyd_.
