NoSo WWE Reviewables rolls on with Volume 3 as Ryan Gray and JT Rozzero tackle 2004–2013 and rank all ten WWE years based on one all-important question: How rewatchable are they today? The guys revisit a decade that saw WWE transition from the Ruthless Aggression Era into the PG Era and beyond, featuring the rise of John Cena, Batista and Randy Orton, the continued dominance of Triple H and The Undertaker, the return of ECW, DX reunions, CM Punk's ascension, The Rock's return, Daniel Bryan's emergence and plenty more. Ryan and JT rank 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 from least to most rewatchable, debating the matches, feuds, characters, weekly television and major moments that defined each year. Plus, the WWE trivia returns! See how well you remember this era as the guys work their way through another round of questions covering all ten years. Which year lands at #1? Which years haven't aged nearly as well? And which overlooked WWE year deserves another watch? It's NoSo WWE Reviewables: Volume 3 — 2004–2013!

The summer of 2000 continues as Extreme Three Way Dance rolls deeper into the final year of Extreme Championship Wrestling! On Episode 161, JT, Jenny, and Matt head back to the land of extreme to break down the August 11, August 12, and August 18, 2000 episodes of ECW TV. With Justin Credible sitting atop ECW as World Heavyweight Champion, the company continues to push forward through a rapidly changing landscape. Rob Van Dam and Jerry Lynn remain key pieces of the puzzle, Rhino continues to establish himself as one of the most dangerous forces in the promotion, and ECW's roster battles for position as the summer begins to wind down. JT, Jenny, and Matt dig into all three shows, breaking down the matches, promos, angles, characters, and all of the uniquely ECW insanity along the way. They'll discuss what's working, what definitely isn't, the performers standing out from the pack, and how the promotion is holding up as it moves through the second half of 2000. Plus, the crew hands out their usual grades and awards while continuing to examine the bigger picture of ECW during this fascinating—and increasingly turbulent—final chapter. Fire up the TNN and Hardcore TV tapes and join Extreme Three Way Dance for another trip back to ECW in 2000!

With the promotion searching for momentum during a turbulent period, the roster continues to evolve and new contenders emerge.
