On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, it's Austin's birthday, and we're celebrating by going back to the wild wild west that was 2005 Smackdown. Today, we learned that in the ever-escalating insanity that is Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio is the one who suggests that they have a ladder match for the custody of Dominick. No wonder a social worker puts Dominick in foster care. We also have Batista cutting promos only in catch phrases, William Regal being offended by The Worm, KAMALA, more MNM shenanigans, SIMON DEAN, and an analysis of the legal issues at play in the Rey/Eddie storyline with the help of David's partner who is a lawyer and thinks wrestling is stupid. She may have a point. Won't you join us?

Do you have fond memories of the original brand split? Do you pine for episodes of Velocity or WWE Experience? Do you miss Heidenreich and his poetry? Then this episode of Music of the Mat is for you! With the help of their brand new Theme Machine 2017, Chris and Andrew have their first theme shuffle episode, where they play a random assortment of wrestling themes from WWE’s Ruthless Aggression era (2002-2008). You can bet that Chris and Andrew have an absolute blast discussing the themes from this time period in WWE, but which ones? Will it be Mark Jindrak’s theme? Simon Dean’s? Kevin Thorn’s?
