Punk from center-ring after Raw and Punk calling back, and much more from Raw including topics via listener email.
Episode 37 begins with Roman Reigns, the MOST INTERESTING MONTH so far in his wrestling career, & comparing him & Heyman's pairing to Brock Lesnar's pairing with Heyman & can it be BETTER (0:00); Road Warrior Animal passes away & is yet another indicator of the darker side of wrestling (22:28); Kyle O'Reilly named #1 contender to the NXT Championship, why people may be SLEEPING on him, why this shouldn't be the case, how they can book the title match at Takeover, & comparing O'Reilly to MONKEYS (28:41); news of WWE reportedly incorporating a "new" mindset of booking things ON THE FLY for their weekly shows instead of long-term booking, & is this a good thing?

In this episode the guys are gearing up for the triple main event! Another WWE network special is upon us with RAW's Hell in a Cell happening this weekend, Credo & Angry Kuter give their predictions and speculate what's to come. They also debate if NXT has lost it's luster. Other topics include the unusual Paul Heyman & Brock Lesnar promo, Curtis Axel gets the mic and the TNA saga continues! Joining us this week straight outta the deep blue sea is Shark Boy! He talks to us about the creation of his character, his own little attitude era, TNA's troubles, his time as a trainer, and Halloween. All this and a whole lot more.
Looks like we made it! We're keeping it 100 in this episode of TTR! Kyle rejoins the podcast, and our trio talks about all things wrestling! We talk about that crazy contract signing we saw on RAW, as well as that awkward Paul Heyman/Brock Lesnar segment. On SMACKDOWN LIVE, we saw Randy Orton join the Wyatt Family (maybe?) and James Ellsworth make a really big mistake. Then, on NXT we found out who Asuka will be defending her championship against at the next TAKEOVER. We also looked at Austin Aries eye, previewed HELL IN A CELL, tried to figure out the Corgan/Dixie court case, and took a whole lot of questions from our listeners!
Did this week's Raw make you cringe as much as it made us? Not a great go-home show, heading into this weekend's Hell in a Cell special. Michael & Kevin discuss that Paul Heyman/Brock Lesnar bit, how breakfast is the true main event, show some love for Northside Chicago baseball, and praise the great motivational speaker, Mr. Bottomtooth. #WWE #NXT #RAW #Smackdown #Wrestling
