Perry Saturn's trademark weird skin color, the big hooks from the Backlash set, Pat Patterson's shit-stained undies, and more! Recorded partially outside, I apologize for any audio issues.

I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough, it's really lovely. Read Eric's reviews on Segunda Caida, a blog where he mostly writes about Ludvig Borga matches and NXT UK.

Bonus show. Siobhan fell asleep bless her heart so me and Alex "Wade" Kellar watched Battlebowl 1993 together and recorded a commentary. This was recorded in June and my wife said that no one should ever listen to it. Enjoy! Watch along with us on Peacock! Definitely a cool idea and worth anyone's time!

This time, I'm rushing again to get the episode out before leaving town. I'm already running late. The episode is mostly about Crash Holly and it's 200 minutes long. Bye
